The Ginger Kid

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 01:45 PM) I think youa re going to see 95% of people disagree with this statement. I so happen to disagree vehemently. Apparently so. But in my opinion there's no argument, Garza is hands down a better pitcher. And for the sake of speculation, let's say it really was a choice between Peavy (signed thru '14) and Garza (a FA in 3 months), who do you think Texas believes is the better pitcher?

What if the league is sitting on the names of those to be suspended and a team makes a trade for them? Seems kind of s***ty.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 01:30 PM) I think Tex didn't want Peavy at least in part because of what AJ told them. That's probably why they gave up so much for Garza. Agree with Jamshack Hahn doesn't have to beat the Garza trade. What about the fact that Garza is a much better pitcher and not so prone to breaking down?

If it was Wong, would that mean Beckham moves to SS? Or can Wong play elsewhere in the IF?

And did they immediately fix the netting? NO!

I don't know how it works in baseball but I've played a lot of golf (HS, college) and when I was forced to make "adjustments" or swing changes to improve my game, I first had to take a big step back. Your instinct is to fall back on the bad habits while you're battling to adopt the new approach. But once those adjustments start to click, your game takes a big step forward. That's my hope with a guy as young as Hawkins, that's he's adjusting to better pitching than he's ever seen while trying to change his approach at the plate.

Given Berkman's injuries and drop in production, I think Texas is a logical destination for Dunn, especially when you consider playoff scenarios. Detroit's RH dominant staff...you need all of the LH power bats you can get in the lineup.

I had hoped it would make the trade market more volatile. Too bad.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 16, 2013 -> 09:57 AM) Bobby Howry inexplicably hitting the Tigers batter up ten runs and one strike to go in the game is the best thing ever. He was a badass. I remember once when he hit Tori Hunter and Hunter glared at him on the way to 1st and Farmio said something like "Yeah Tori, just flap your mouth cuz you don't want none of that."

Thanks for sharing -- I've been searching for video of that brawl for a long time. That really propelled the Sox, if you remember. They came together and won the division after that. Forgot how much I hated Higginson...

who plays SS for kitties when Jhonny gets suspended?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 06:27 PM) Beckham is freaking awesome wasn't sure if I'd ever agree with that, but hey, the guy's turned it around.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 06:39 PM) Listening to Barry Larkin rip on players for taking steroids while sitting at a table with the brother of Brett Boone was awkward He added 25 pounds in one off season

I'm re-watching the 8th inning again right now. This might be the most fun I'll have all season.

Can't wait for Ramirez to be gone

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jun 23, 2013 -> 02:36 PM) Whatever happened to Alexei Ramirez? Not sure, but I know what I would like to see happen.

Very nice win.

HELL YES! I still like seeing a white sox winner. And we pick up a game on Detoilet!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 20, 2013 -> 10:51 AM) Someone has to get fired soon, right?

If we're going to be this bad, shouldn't we hope to be the worst? As in #1 pick bad? I was looking at some of these projections for next year's draft and that SS from Clovis really got me excited. 2014 prospects

he didn't even swing hard and he crushed it

what'ya know

boy the astros d is even worse

If konerko hits a home run here the whole season will turn around
