QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 04:39 PM) who said gload would have to be the first baseman... a lot of guys out there can hit over .260 and not popup everytime there are runners in scoring positiong that DONT COST 10+ MILLION f***ING DOLLARS please, for christ's sake, look at his future salary before praying to have konerko on this team. But no one has the power that PK has, no free agent, and not trading without giving up the farm.

QUOTE(brijames @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 04:29 PM) And you all where b****ing forever to have Gload called up. You hate Paulie and you hate Crede but look what happens when they arent in there. I'm not a fan of Gload...I'm all for PK and resiging him because he is our best option at 1B. Gload has done nothing in his career and everyone on this board hypes him up to be an all-star. If he's that great, trade him, but he's not that good at all, career minor leaguer IMO.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 04:26 PM) Make fun all you want, i'm sure he would have at a hit or two as well, and we would be winning because that grounder would of been caught.

Get Gload out of there for PK, he would of had that grounder...

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 04:14 PM) No offense but that means nothing. I just think its wishful thinking, Frank will be back by late August/early Sept. according to ESPN. White Sox | Thomas Injury Update Tue, 26 Jul 2005 15:34:41 -0700 ESPN.com reports Chicago White Sox DH Frank Thomas (ankle) will return this year, but his role with the team is uncertain. The team plans to re-evaluate his status in two weeks. Thomas is going to undergo a CAT scan to determine if there is any other damage in his ankle.

QUOTE(WSFAN35 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 03:38 PM) Why won't Overbay get traded? Didn't you read the first post of this thread. It makes sense. Milwaulkee is out of the race, Fielder is ready for the Bigs, the Sox helped out the Brewers and the Brewers will be willing to help out the Sox. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but it's very possible. Because there are numerous reports and an article on MLB.com that said Overbay is staying put.

I think we should close this thread, Overbay isn't getting trade, forget about it, lol.

can we transfer some of the hits and runs from last night to tonight?

Overbay maybe off the market... http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article...t=.jsp&c_id=mlb

MLB article on Brewers not trading Overbay, who's next? http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article...t=.jsp&c_id=mlb

C'mon Freddy...10 hits given up against the Royals? Paging AJ Burnett, lol

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 09:37 PM) I meant I'm giving up on the Sox trading for someone. Not on the team's performance. I know, I was just messing with you. I think KW will have to do something just in case Frank can't come back or if Count or El breakdown. There to good to stand pat.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 09:20 PM) 3 topics, I love it. Well I've had problems posting as well...too much traffic to the site I guess....

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 08:55 PM) I've officially given up hope. I don't the Sox will do anything significant this year. The one year something could put us over the top. Wow...throwing in the towel already? Guess we'll see ya next year buddy, lol As for me...i think KW has a ton of options that we don't even know about, only time will tell.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 06:32 PM) In 4 words: It's a Bears town. In the Philly area, its been Eagles talk since April...Philly is an Eagles town, lol. Sorry to get sidetracked...Go Sox!

QUOTE(HSC's Biggest Fan @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 05:16 PM) My thoughts are Lowell (if forced to take hiM) and Burnett come here and spun directly to the Philles for Wagner and Thome. I think it is Burnett only then he is spun one for one for Wagner. If Contrearas is not moved Burnett is not on this team. The Phillies and Fish are not trading with one another nor in a three way. The Phillies will be lucky if Thome is able to play again this year, he has nagging injuries like the Big Hurt does. The Phils wouldn't trade for PK because they have Ryan Howard. I live in the Philly market and everyone is raving about him, so they have no need for PK, and Thome wouldn't fit on this team.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 04:57 PM) tonight, it will be announced. Watch for Damaso to not see the mound tonight. Maybe since Florida is off tonight?

I think i'm going to give up on there being a trade today, too close to game time.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) losing paul konerko is not going to make this team a last place team. I don't know why your thinking that. You say they'll call it a fluke and this franchise is in trouble if we lose PK. Don't know what team your watching this season. I'm not saying we'll be a last place team, or that our franchise is in trouble, but replacing PK with Lowell would not make us a playoff team in 2006. We can have all the pitching we want, but you still need to score runs and last time I check, having power is still apart of baseball. Lowell...15-20 hrs a season, PK...30-40 hrs a season, that is a huge dropoff.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 03:11 PM) Is it in the same trouble as when we got rid of Maggs and Carlos Lee. When we got rid of Maggs and Lee, we still had power in the line up, without Paul, we have an aging Frank Thomas and Dye when he is hot for our power. I'd rather give Paul the money because if we win it all, and get rid of Paul, then this year would be called a fluke.

QUOTE(103 mph screwball @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 03:10 PM) Are the radio guys saying Contreras is part of the deal or not? No mention of him on the Score...but you never know until it's all said and done.

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 03:09 PM) So Lowell is insurance this year and our new 1B for 2006? If Lowell is our 1B in 2006, then this franchise is in trouble, I'm for keeping Paulie since there is no better option of us, via trade or free agent.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 02:49 PM) The update guy on AM1000 said the Sox and Marlins are trying to negotiate the final 2yrs. in Lowell's contract where he is owed 18 mil Now we know how much he is owed. I hope the Marlins pay atleast 10-12 mil So does that mean AJ will sign long term?

From what they saying on the Score updates, a deal doesn't sound definite or forthcoming.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 02:19 PM) yes. go to theri main website. 670thescore.com thanks pal!
