Awesome. Congrats big man!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 02:42 PM) He likes his pitchers just as he likes his women Retired?

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 01:19 PM) The sweeps produce two different results, though. A split is a split. But, if you want to split hairs (heh), I guess a game 1 win in a split or a game 2 win in a split, are two different things. But that is canceled out by the Sox winning game one and losing game two, being the same as the Tigers losing game one and winning game two.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 01:16 PM) Coulda sworn I just saw Carlos Quentin in a State Farm commercial.... Did he pull something making the pitch?

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 12:39 PM) Why would the dodgers throw in any cash? If we claimed him they could dump his whole salary. If anyone was willing to pick up his whole salary, there would have been a deadline deal between the Dodgers and that team.

Is it just me, or does he not sound like he is going with them... from facebook.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 12:00 PM) Washington put Dunn on waivers. In a related story, 29 claims have been made by now...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 11:51 AM) I think it was Kalapse that wanted us to take a chance on Beltre. He gave a pretty good analysis on why he wasn't anywhere near the contract albatross he was perceived to be in Seattle. I think he and Vlad have been the two best bargains in baseball this year. But hey, we got Teahen and Kotsay. What more can one ask for? JJ Putz and Freddy Garcia need to be in that conversation at some point.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 11:28 AM) After watching some video clips, sale does not hold his shoulder in internal rotation (W position) near as long as Strasberg. While the mechanics aren't ideal, Sale's tendency for injury is less than that of Strasberg.

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 11:47 PM) What f-in babies you guys are. If you can't stand the other fans, just watch it at home, you snobs. People who hate people having a good time at the ballpark drive me crazy. The Wave is here to stay. Get used to it or stop going to games. Do you still listen to disco and wear and afro too?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 09:07 PM) I don't think they could call him back up so quickly, but I agree about Torres. I can't stand p*****s who don't throw strikes. Carlos Torres 110 pitches, 65 strikes, 5 walks. Lucas Harrell 98 pitches, 50 strikes, 5 walks.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 09:19 AM) Yes. It's a much more enjoyable experience. But there are tens of thousands of Cub fans there... How is that better?

QUOTE (kev211 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 10:32 PM) http://tweetphoto.com/36705995 Haha Brent lillibridge's new pic on twitter. I'm starting to really like him. That is excellent

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 09:16 PM) What's frustrating to me is all the people pointing out "he's having bad luck, as he's hitting it deep but it's getting caught". Doesn't that just mean that he doesn't have the ability anymore to hit the ball over the fence, and since he's not exactly speedy, he's even more of a liability? Heck, if he doesn't have the power, then learn how to slap the ball all over the field instead of rolling over the ball in 60% of your ABs. That's exactly what everyone said about Nick Swisher too. Now everyone wants him back.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 08:39 PM) No teams took on monster salaries. The baseball sources I have with the Phillies say it's across the league. The Yankees took on a bunch of salary

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 01:45 PM) Have you taken a look at the team the Tigers are throwing out there lately? I'm not sure I can blame them. I might even do the wave at a Tigers game just to avoid watching that train wreck.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 05:55 PM) Mark Kotsay to DL with a bad case of blue balls? Shingles...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 05:53 PM) The Rays won't claim him. If anyone offered Coletti the opportunity to get out of the entire contract, at least the pro-rated version for the rest of this year, Manny would not be Dodger right now. Bingo. No one is claiming Manny,.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 04:35 PM) A club probably leaked it. You won't hear about a lot of names on waivers, just a few that get leaked by a opposing clubs. After the "negotiations" went to crap, I wonder if it was us...

QUOTE (The Critic @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 04:39 PM) He sells ice cubes to eskimos. He now sells pitching advice to Randy Williams

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:20 PM) ohh.... ok... um..... well..... let's just say she said the words and my jaw hit the floor.... "threesome" WWJD

Do have I to do everything around here? Get that game winner thread up ASAP!

The key is to watch the names that go on waivers at the same time as Dunn. Those are the names that might get dealt.
