QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Apr 20, 2010 -> 07:53 PM) Are these short compact crouch swings that Rios and CQ have really effective? Its worked pretty good for Rios so far...

ME AND MR JONES

Ugh.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 20, 2010 -> 08:29 PM) He just shouldn't be playing tonight, especially facing two righties in the remainder of the series. By bunting AJP, Ozzie made it so easy for Tampa to not face Rios and go after the lefty. It's either that or Dony Lucy, and I really don't think he had any better of a chance against Price.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 20, 2010 -> 08:24 PM) Who? AJ? really. The way AJ is swinging the bat, I have no problem with him just moving guys over. The way he has been going he would have just lined into a one hop double play on the first pitch.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 20, 2010 -> 08:11 PM) http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/future-sox...oston.html#more I'll get on the Dobies bandwagon. Do we need another arm at Charlotte?

Danks is just killing Upton.

Well... here we go. f*** ya

"you're with him now" Great scene with Clair and Jack.

Really if he wanted, Selig could just invoke the Commissioners powers... but we all know he is too big of a sissy to do something like that.

keep running up that pitch count guys!

If you really want to fix the problem, move two more teams to New York and another to Boston. Divide up the market.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 20, 2010 -> 04:22 PM) Daley has overseen a Chicago government that is highly corrupt. But that said, I think people here are ignoring two huge things. 1. The city gov't in Chicago was just as corrupt, probably more so, before Daley. 2. Corrupt or not, Daley has been a highly effective mayor, and helped Chicago go through a 20 year renaissance as a city that few other US cities have ever seen. He's been very, very good for the city, overall. Yeah, it was the legacy his dad left... Its also very questionable if Daley would have been half of the Mayor that he was if he didn't have his machine in place, and a part of that is corruption.

We met at a Sectional basketball game 18 years ago. Will have been married 10 years in August.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 20, 2010 -> 04:19 PM) Supposedly he has been on this anti-Canada thing for almost 10 years now. Such as not putting Carlos Delgado on his MVP ballot, the year he finished second overall. He slams Canada every chance he gets. Here is the story about Cowley's Canadian vendetta. http://sportsbybrooks.com/joe-is-there-som...o-tell-us-28212

Daley or Emanuel? Is death an option?

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Apr 20, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) Just curious SS2K5, what kind of haul would you ask for Danks? Another pitcher? A good bat? Something close to what Cleveland got for Sabathia. He might not be that good, but you would have him for two plus seasons. There would have to be a teams top prospect, (a can't miss kind of guy in the deal), plus some high end pitching potential, along with some other B to C prospects.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 20, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) I just don't see KW trading a 25 year old LH starting pitcher with 3-4 years of arb. left in any case. At least.. not this year. A guy like Quentin would probably go before Danks. Whats good about some of these guys is that KW doesn't have to go on full rebuild and he can focus on other pieces. Flowers, Danks, Hudson etc.. will be ready. It'll be up to them though to hit (and pitch) well up here. I think he is down to two years of arb left. My thinking is that if he feels he can't get something done with John long term, which Danks has repeatedly turned down if you believe the reports, and we fall out of the race, there might not be a piece that gets a bigger haul than Danks. If Kenny wants to rebuild on the fly, a guy like Johnny being traded could do it.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 20, 2010 -> 01:15 PM) The problem is, which of those players does Danks have as much power as? Sizemore maybe? Sizemore owns him in contact rate so that doesn't really apply. I have a FutureSox post a few touches away from being posted on this subject. You and I agree. Exactly. Until Danks develops 30 HR power, or something outstanding about his offensive game, there is no reason to believe that his K rate won't kill him at the major league level. You can deal with the Ks when you are getting a HR every 12 ABs or so. I can't see it working otherwise.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 20, 2010 -> 01:48 PM) The names you don't see popping up yet but would be interesting: Buehrle, Peavy, Rios, and, to a much lesser extent advisable...Danks Danks might actually be the first SP dealt because he is the only one without a long term contract plus a high value.

I thought most sports donated the fines to their charity?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 20, 2010 -> 02:29 PM) Nix really needs to be traded, as he's worthless if he's not going to be used against tough lefties and/or to pinch run. No one is giving up anything for him.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Apr 20, 2010 -> 12:46 PM) its interesting how Uribe's avg goes up 40pts as soon as he leaves Chicago. Its also interesting how guys like Jermaine Dye and Paul Konerko come here and have incredible years.
