QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 03:55 PM) "Chicago White Sox third baseman Gordon Beckham, pictured above, is seen putting together care packages to the plethora of major league pitchers that he has caused to be DFA'd (designated for assignment)."

There's already a thread on this in the Diamond Club.

Carlos Torres is listed

Great. It'll wind up being me and Karko's throat skin, literally.

Mark Buehrle hasn't pitched a perfect game in quite some time. Should we DFA him?

Nix?

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 01:09 PM) Wow....seems like lots of SoxTalk will be there. I will be in attendance as well....unfortunately in the way UD I believe. Hopefully the rain goes away. Keep your head in the game. Beckham might foul bunt one to the corner of the UD.

Rumor has it Pavano asked to be traded because he would be facing Beckham tomorrow. I expect him to ask for another trade when he is due to face us as a Twin.

I'm predicting a perfect game....for Beckham. 6 for 6 with 6 grand slams. He will also catch all 27 outs as line drives to 3rd.

Let me show you boys how it's done.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 11:33 AM) We suck against Pavano. This is a good thing. It's a good thing that a team that we're fighting with for the division title acquired him?

I saw him at an Al Gore dinner last year and he looked like a mess. If I didn't know he was the mayor I'd have thought he was some schlub off the street. Hair was messy, suit didn't fit well, goofy mannerisms.

An expensive reliever coming off injury? Pass!

Like others have mentioned above, I think he's been swinging the bat rather nicely of late. Honestly I'm surprised Kotsay didn't play for Dye yesterday with the way Dye's been playing the last few games. Quentin seems on the verge of a breakout game and I thought Santana would have been the perfect pitcher to go up against.

Just pointing out a well known and widely used barometer.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 09:24 AM) I know that. Literally. Cranky old man.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 09:00 AM) Mad Men is phenomenal, I've been watching it for years. Anyone who doesn't watch needs to catch up. It's no Becker.

He's becoming a Caucasian Zambrano.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 04:48 PM) Is it just me or did coverage of Sotomayor being Latina and the constant mentioning of the fact that she grew up in South Bronx projects make it seem like she would sound like Rosie Perez or something? For some reason I expected that the first time I heard her talk but she sounded like any boring legal scholar. For real. I was expecting her to be smacking bubble gum and wearing giant hoop earrings.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 04:33 PM) Thanks, jerk! He should ban himself for 2 months.

Still was an outrageous idea to raise ticket prices in this economy.
