QUOTE(Nokona @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 09:44 PM) Ladies and gentleman, we are sitting on a goldmine here. I haven't felt like this since the Illini's run last season and suddenly I'm starting to feel the same things I felt then. I don't want second place. PS, believe is a cubs term, and way overused. let's think of something else.

dear God, not Jamie Moyer

QUOTE(BDavisFutureHOF @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 02:58 PM) I will start asking some of the Bulls boards for their participation if it hasnt already been done be careful, you might make some cubs fans decide it would be funny to vote for jeter

QUOTE(BDavisFutureHOF @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 02:40 PM) Where did you see that he was behind that homo? mlb.com and dont call me a homo

KEEP VOTING!! Pods is behind Jeter. We have to constanty vote for Pods, he's got one-half a city voting for him, while Jeter has the world. We can do this, soxtalk.com

Clemens will never be a Chicago White Sox. I suggest we delete this entire thread, bc he's not coming here. There are three possible places for him to land, if he is even traded from the Astros. 1) NY Yankees - the biggest probability, and I would put money on him landing here. 2) Boston Red Sox - a small chance, but I think he has burned too many bridges, and with Schilling and Wells coming back, the Red Sox just might think they are alright in the starting pitcher department. 3) Texas Rangers - keeps him close to home, and he would be an extraordinary addition to the club. ... not gonna happen) Chicago White Sox - best record in baseball, no where near home, and not a popular enough franchise in MLB... he will be a Yankee.

PS, KW made comments about no talks happening between Seattle when the Sox/Yanks were going after Freddy, and look how that turned out.

QUOTE(southsider17 @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 10:10 AM) NO WAY the Astros give up Oswalt. They'd trade Clemens first. And that won't happen either. Exactly, the Astros aren't going to be sellers, they will be buyers. They are only a few games under .500, which in the NL means they are only 5 games out of the Wild Card.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 4, 2005 -> 10:25 PM) Iguchi is on a constant decline. The guy looks different than earlier in the year. he's batting .280, and has a double already tonight. You can't blame him for a bad third strike call.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 4, 2005 -> 12:29 PM) WE'RE NOT GOING TO FIND SOMEONE BETTER THEN JOSE AS A 4TH STARTER! HE WILL HAVE A FEW MORE GOOD STARTS! PLEASE GET A GRIP PEOPLE! GUYS LIKE SCHMIDT ARE A MILLION TIMES WORSE! I think you undervalue Schmidt. This guy has electric stuff, and would be a welcome addition to the South Side. Sure, he's had a rough start, but to say his arm is "falling off" is just inaccurate. Jason Schmidt is a top tier starting pitcher, and any chance a team has to get him would be great. PS... he has World Series experience, and playoff experience is what this club is lacking.

I heard on the Score that Contreras would actually be included in a deal to get Schmidt (don't ask me why the Giants would want Contreras, unless the Sox ate his salary) I don't really see that happening.

Great grab by Aaron, Great game by Freddy, Good all around game, nice to see the power come out.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 11:33 AM) The Brewers are just going to give us Overbay? Awesome! no, but he will be available for a decent price, ass clown.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 10:40 AM) Well, I suggested picking up lefty Mike Stanton when the Yankees release him. How does that move look now? very good.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 10:35 AM) Giambi will be. He has $80 million dollars left on his contract and the Yankees won't be able to dump it. He will be on the payroll, but he won't be starting.

WALKER?? WHAT THE HELL? at least we know why Marte has been sub-par.

QUOTE(Beastly @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 10:35 AM) Agreed. I only want him up here because he was decent in our bullpen for a year last year. But seriously, we all got hung up on Royce Ring, Kris Honel, Joe Blow, Mike Morse and Jeremy Reed. They will never live up to the numbers they put down at the minor league level. I will never see Jeremy Reed be that good. And for the old timers, they want to win. They don't give a flying f*** about guys at AAA...wouldn't you rather win a series and deal some prospects to get the pieces that are essential to put yourself over the top. f*** YES

the question is, whom would you rather have? Pauly or Lyle Overbay? Overbay will be available because Prince Fielder is coming up through the Brewers system. I think Overbay would be a better fit on this team, especially considering Konerko's inability to hit in the clutch and what I am sure are going to be ridiculous salary demands. He will ask for Sexson money; maybe more. I hate to bid adieu to Pauly, but we can't afford to have him here. We are good right now because we aren't paying any single player a ludicrous amount of cashola. PS look for Konerko to be in a Yankees uniform next year. Giambi/Martinez are not going to be the everday boys...

I think Adkins should come up. He has proven himself able to pitch in the majors. Hell, bring Baj and Adkins up, and try to get rid of Vizcaino. He is absolutely brutal.

QUOTE(Iguana @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 08:43 AM) Who got the Cy young? Roy Halladay

However... was there ever a better time to trade durham? though we might have been able to get a bit more, ray has done nothing since he left to make me pine for his return.

QUOTE(go-sox05 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 09:05 AM) Buerhle should be starting this game, but i heard there gonna have Matt Clement start cause he will have the most days rest coming up to the all-star game. Konerko is on pace to hit 40 hr's and haave 120 rbi. Is average should be back to normal to, so if those arent all star numbers i dont know what are. Plust, Clement starting means BoSox fans are happy, and Lord knows the MLB isn't happy unless Red Sawx nation is happy. Red Sawx = MLB right now, which is sad.

Well, for once, thank God for Comerica Park, or else that triple was a homerun and they are still playing. Either way, Hermanson took care of business, and hopefully is heading back to his early season form.
