Jimbo's Drinker

3-1 baby

I hope we dont get swept.

QUOTE (zenryan @ May 22, 2009 -> 02:37 AM) I would love to see Ozzie just go off on Peavy and call him every name in the book. Maybe that will give this team a chip on its shoulder and play better. or short and sweet, call him a p****.

QUOTE (tommy @ May 22, 2009 -> 01:01 AM) You out of everyone knew this trade isn't happening. AND I just voted for your dog, so there. Notice the question asks who do you want GONE. Thanks for voting, and keep up the voting. However, these topics make me sad this year as a Sox fan.

QUOTE (tommy @ May 22, 2009 -> 12:52 AM) To take your mind off Peavy trade and the humiliation of a loss from yesterday... DeWise is bound to return and now we have one to many outfielders. There's an option of sending down Fields and plugging Nix/Betemit at third while keeping all three on the roster. (Not sure how we feel about Betemit's glove at this point) STATS: SPLITS G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS AVG OBP SLG OPS DeWayne Wise: Season 7 21 0 5 0 0 0 0 0 6 0 1 .238 .238 .238 .476 Scott Podsednik: Season 16 60 4 16 2 1 0 2 3 4 3 2 .267 .297 .333 .630 Brian Anderson: Season 21 64 7 18 2 0 0 4 8 16 2 3 .281 .361 .313 .674 I realize questions might come up, ie: if Pods is sent down who leads off with Getz struggling lately? Or who should be the starting CF or should we platoon? Feel free to give your opinion in the thread. It seems like it will come down to Wise or Pods, more on this here: Here is a Merkin article on what Ozzie said/did not say about this coming up issue. Did you just say take your mind off the Peavy trade with this garbage. Ill take the 4th choice, LILLIBRIDGE!!!!

Ozzie is now in 11th place, only 600 out of 10th(eligible for competition) with a month to go. THanks for your continued assistance!!

QUOTE (tommy @ May 21, 2009 -> 05:54 PM) I don't understand why is he waiting to confirm about the rejection, just do it already. huh

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2009 -> 05:51 PM) Question: was Peavy going to solve our situation at 3rd base, where we are getting nothing? Was he going to make Alexei and Getz start hitting, and magically cure Quentin's foot? Even with Peavy, there's no guarantee this was anything more than a 83-84 win team. The Tigers are much improved this season, so it's not like getting Peavy was going to guarantee us anything. I think the prospect lovers should be happy that we have the caliber of players that could land Peavy, and that we have a GM who knows when to cash in the chips at the right time. This deal was more for next year, its pretty obvious this year is done.

QUOTE (rangercal @ May 21, 2009 -> 05:48 PM) f*** this season. 70 wins here we come. At least all the prospect lovers in the future sox forum are happy. If they love prospects, then cheer for the minor league teams. Kenny Williams will never field a team of all prospects. As I have mentioned, most will be dealt.

As White Sox fans know, we will be packaging for another attempt at a star in the future. KW hates keeping prospects in the system.

QUOTE (DanksFan @ May 21, 2009 -> 05:11 PM) seems to me he is just a scared little girl. mentaly, if he is that weak, id rather have CRAP anyway.... we have tons of it for many more years on the south side.

too bad we dont face SD here this year.

QUOTE (DanksFan @ May 21, 2009 -> 05:06 PM) heyman one bad sign late in the game on peavy: #white sox were asked by #padres: "you got any ideas on how to persuade him?'' What a f***in b****

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 21, 2009 -> 04:59 PM) I think this is the big issue and I know Jimbo said something similar. You had to know what you were getting into with Peavy, the $$ and his NTC. This team is just cheap, cheap, cheap. It really a shame, this would have done wonders to rejuvinate the entire fan base. Now, we get to deal with has beens, never beens and Brent f***in lillibridge.

As said, let the firesale begin.....

Peavy has just used the White Sox to set up an inevitable deal with the Cubs.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 21, 2009 -> 04:41 PM) To be fair, the Sox have always been cheap when it comes to pitching and not wanting to overspend on huge long-term to deals. And the Sox have usually been right in their dealings with pitching. Then why get into bed with the Padres? Now we have traded off our top two pitching prospects. Peavy will be traded eventually, but cant be good for the confidence of our kids.

Its always about money, and the sox will always never spend. This could be the most embarrasing day in white sox history. 20-1 and a superstar laughs at our trade attempt.

So have the Pads throw in a prospect also.

Its ESPN, they have their 5 favorites, ignore them

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ May 21, 2009 -> 02:58 PM) is this being reported or your guess? Because right now, not one dime of that 22m is guaranteed, so if he can get 17m guaranteed and some deferred, it's not the worst deal for him Just my belief, no source. sorry

Backpay backpay backpay no way says peavy

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ May 21, 2009 -> 02:48 PM) They just said on ESPNnews that the sox don't play the Pirates this year. I wonder who we are going to play tomorrow. The Pittsburgh Penguins...DUH DUH DUH

Best part is if someone is coming home and looking for updates, they have to read all this other banter.

He should not be here, Dergen ftw
