QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 10:39 AM) Short term outage - Fields. Longer term outage - Allen. I was referring to NSS72's assumption that Getz or Nix get dealt and Fields moves back to 3rd. Would Allen come up right away in that scenario?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 10:32 AM) 3. Fields is figuring it out, so I hope he continues to improve while playing part time 3B, 1B and DH. Once Getz or Nix are gone, Beckham slides to 2B, Fields back to 3B, IF Fields is doing well. Who backs up Konerko?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 10:12 AM) OK, so lets get all of the Wise-cracks out of the way now... I've actually heard that the reason Wise wasn't the one DFA'd is because Slayer will be using him as his bat.

Although I disagree often with him I say let Ozzie be Ozzie.

Anyone else checking this out? http://www.metronomechicago.com/lineup.php

What a downer.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 09:09 AM) This could be a fun Summer once Q comes back. I'm starting to wonder if he'll ever shake off the injury bug. Seems to follow him around.

Not sure if this was mentioned already but I wonder if the decision to call him up for today's game was strategic. Day game. Smaller crowd. Less pressure for him to produce.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 07:09 AM) Was there any reason given for pulling Anderson from the game yesterday? He was literally sick of the way he has been handled by the Sox. The proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. He might actually be dead now.

Happy Birthday!!

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 11:15 PM) I highly doubt it's needed. I think its just because of how big of an ego Barry has. For sure. You've totally got it figured out.

McCarthy was an exciting call-up.

Hmm....oh I guess it's more than 140 characters.

I see that this came out on DVD this week. Watched it when it originally aired on Comedy Central. Absolutely hilarious.

At this rate BA might get as many posts as Jake Peavy.

I'd rather trade for Ace Ventura.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 02:54 PM) Is this argument moot since Ozzie is starting tonite and not Dweezy? He playing SS?

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 02:16 PM) Castro is my unofficial pick to click. Let us know when you get the notarized official pick submitted.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 12:01 PM) I'm not so sure about that. Ozzie sees Javy sucks when it counts, so Javy is off the team. Ozzie hates Swisher's attitude, so he's gone. Ozzie see Boone Logan, Mike MacDougal, etc. all sucking ass so they are gone. Ozzie sees Jerry Owens and DeWayne Wise sucking so he gives them more playing time. Something doesn't quite fit.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 11:28 AM) Soooo... "America is one of the largest muslim countries in the world"... and during the campaign, Obama's dad was "agnostic or atheist" but now he's muslim, along with Obama's grandmother? Funny how the story changes when he goes over there to give a major speech to the Muslim world. And, for the record, religion doesn't matter to me, but it's funny how the story's changing now to benefit his circumstances. How many apologies for the United States are we going to have in the speech tommorow? The actual quote: How can you dispute that?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 11:28 AM) So if we lose tonight and BA is in the lineup, what will the next thread topic be? Trade for a starter? Clayton Richard is not a starting pitcher? Maybe Jenks blows a save and its Trade Bobby Now? No. It all boils down to BA. By him not playing yesterday the team will be in a funk today even if he does play. All losses are attributed to BA not playing 162 games.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 08:41 AM) Laugh if you like, but the guy starts stammering like Bush when the prompter is gone. Its why he doesn't go anywhere with out it. Like Bush? Wow. I couldn't think of a worse analogy. Obama still sounds more intelligent and coherent when off the cuff than 95% of America.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 08:34 AM) He has no ability to speak on his own, only to regurgitate what he is told.

The apparent absence of scouting for young pitchers we are about to face for the first time.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 07:03 AM) Thats pretty odd considering some of the best players are names like Sergio Garcia, Tiger Woods, and Vijay Singh Can you really tell me with a straight face that golf is very popular in countries of color?
