QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 08:42 AM) With Freddy in the starting 5 where would Felix play? Floyd or Danks would have to be in the deal.

Would we even be able to offer enough without trading half of our starting line up?

Congrats

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 10:46 PM) Charlis Burdie has had a great season. I would think he should be rushing through the system (same as Bellamy) next year. Hector Santiago will be an interesting relief spect to watch in Birmingham next season. I just hope he never gets traded, or I will never get Bye, Bye, Burdie out of my head.

Glad this isn't the USC weekend and those chumps aren't in my town.

The Cubs are circling the drain right now. They have to be the most disappointing team in baseball, once you factor in the Mets injuries.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 07:57 PM) Oh yeah, we started at 9 in the morning so it wasn't a very healthy living day for me. Felt pretty guilty about doing it Cub fan style. Who bent you over? Oh, you meant drinking...

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 07:17 PM) A few years ago? Man, I'm so in trouble. As long as they don't talk to the Canadian border patrol...

3 down...

Whatever. It feels good to spank some Red ass.

If we can declare this trade a horrible thing, can I throw out there a Josh Fields comparison?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 02:51 PM) Yes it can be. We just have to get the cost structure aimed in the right direction. Right now, it's aimed at: greater bureaucracy, no efficiency, higher expenditures, worse care, and higher profits. If you switch profits to budgets, you have just described the US government.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 09:57 AM) Thome's being interviewed on ESPN 1000 right now. "I love Chicago, I will live there forever, it's my city." "We had a very frustrating season, I understand why I was traded." "I want to play next year and DH in the American League." "The White Sox would be my first choice, but I haven't talked to Kenny about that yet." I'd be completely fine with Thome back on a 1-year deal to DH next year. And I would bet it wouldn't cost too much to get him back.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 01:18 PM) I've read on most horror movie websites that Halloween 2 remake is god awful. I'm just sick of dumb remakes of horror movies. Whoever remade "The Fog" should be banned from making movies. Forever. Speaking of bad horror remakes, I just saw an ad for "Fame"

One of the true legends of broadcasting. Fight the good fight Ernie!

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 09:22 AM) I'm holding out hope for 90 wins for the Barons. That would be out of 140 games. Right now, they're 43 games over .500. The Barons have been awesome, even after being completely raided by the Sox.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 11:12 AM) Because Medicare under-pays, forcing doctors and hospitals to charge private insurance more. At least that's the idea. It also means a significant amount of doctors refuse to take on medicare/cade patients because of that, and dealing with the federal government.

-Buying new lawnmower today. -Tonight broadcasting the 2nd highest ranking match up this weekend in all of Indiana High School football. -Maybe checking out Labor Dayz in Michigan City, up at the lake front -Hope the White Sox don't suck too much.

Byrd seems to either own us, or we kick his butt, there really isn't an in between... And in the area of tempting fate, the Sox didn't commit an error in Minnesota, nor against the Cubs.

You guys take winning a trade way too literally.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 08:56 PM) Kannapolis just got their 80th win, they have the best record in the Sally League. Birmingham's on the verge of win #89. The best record in the Southern League by far. Its sad when the minor teams are going to have more wins than the big team while playing a ton less games.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 08:41 AM) Agreed, i think our only obvious needs are a corner OF who can field his position, and a stronger pen, which can mostly be filled internally.. I still would not be surprised to see a CF brought in as a lead off hitter, or to see Pods back in CF next year. I think the IF is set, as are the starting rotation 1-4, with the 5th starter coming from guys we have on the roster now. The pen will be very different next year.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 08:33 AM) Bears 20-0. Their entire team goes to the Pro-Bowl, so I included that win as well. They go 16-0 and have to play in the wild card? That is a neat trick
