I have got to imagine with Nomar at SS, this guy is prime trade bait. Any idea what Boston thinks of him? Are they willing to deal him or would they try to move him to 2B or 3B?

As long as Royce Clayton is in this league, that question is answered. Heck as long as Rick White is around, Pauly isn't even the worst on his own team!

Of all of the things you can say about JM, that he lacks class isn't one of them. I do agree that his style is WAY too much like Torre's and I don't think he would be a good successor to JM just because of that.

To call it a blow out is misleading the game was 2-0 at most up until the 9th inning. It was a well played nip and tuck game. The final score was a fluke and totally misrepresented how the game actually went.

Royce Ring baby! Another 1 1/3 scoreless innings with 2 K's. Is there any doubt that Royce will be a call up if someone is dealt out of the pen? The only guy who could possilbly be considered is Matt Ginter IMO. MAYBE Munoz, if he keeps up what he has been doing as of late.

He was never really challenged IMO. He did everything he was supposed to though.

That stuff is pretty cutting edge for the majors, I would be shocked to see that anytime soon in the minors. The equiptment costs have to be prohibitive.

You what I screwed up, for whatever reason I wasn't even looking at Maggs. Probably because of when he hit it, I had been looking at the box score in the top of top of the 8th to see who won. The 3 run homer by Maggs was worth 8 points by itself. Plus his walk and other run scored made 10 points to 7 for Jimenez. The Maggs pickers were TexSox, HSC, SoxfaninBeverly, IDSeer, and Steff. Sorry about the mix up, thanks for paying attention to all!!!

Jimenez is the PTC winner and the only guy who picked him was WhiteSox247. I love a gutsy pick! Congrats!

damn I want to say that more often! Great job Jon Garland!

Damn it, Billy Koch in to pitch the 9th. I was hoping they would let Jon finish.

They would play worst than Jose is playing...i dont think so. Stick to soccer, Rafa, K? Oley, Oley, Ole, Oley.... This guys love Jose and his dick...i dont know why??? Jose is sucking offensevelly and defensevelly. Don't be an asshole....I like Jose as a player because of his range and what he helped us do in 2000. He is a SS with power. Of course I don't like him at the plate now....anyone that does is goddamn clueless. You find me a SS with 25 homer power that doesn't strike out 180 times, and I bet that he costs more than $5 mill. I was trying to be nice, but saying I like "Jose and his dick" is getting personal. I could say something about you liking "D'Angelo Jimenez and his dick", but I will not. I am mature enough not to resort to personal attacks. I could also say soccer is for dweebs....but I do not. Why? Because I am mature enough to respect your opinion on soccer. I personally do not like soccer....but I'm not attacking you, am I? Amen. No need to be personal. Keep it clean.

They would play worst than Jose is playing...i dont think so. You'll either just have to take my word for it, or ask around. See what people say....ask them if a combo of Valentin-Jimenez or Jimenez-Miles looks better. IMO, DJ in SS and Miles in 2B. Jose has give too much game away... I haven't seen enough of Miles defensively, but there is a reason they moved Jimenez to 2B.

MAGGS DOES YARD WORK 8-0 SOX!!!

This has been a great 9th inning. 3 huge runs added to the scoreboard on great hitting by Jimenez and Carlos. Now hopefully JM will send Jon out for the 9th to at least try for the shutout. He deserves that much with a 5 run lead. He only has 98 pitches through 8. Just keep him on a short leash.

It is all mental. He gets scared and doesn't believe in his stuff way too often. Then he starts to nibble and falls behind hitters. And his stuff isn't good enough to pitch 2-0, 3-1 to hitters. He needs to be 0-1, 1-2 for his curve and sinker to be effective. But yes Great Game Jon!

He might quit before then. The Boss just TOLD him that Jose Contreras was starting Friday against the Tigers. And you though that KW interfered with JM?

He is at 98 pitches, and Billy Koch is warming in the pen... doesn't seem like that CG is going to happen for Jon unless we get some runs here.

5.00 is the Navarro line? Man I would have thought 6.00 at least if not 7 or 8! If you take his career ERA, and his ERA with us, then they average out to around 5.00.....I guess. Anyways....what's the difference between a 5.00 ERA and an 8.00 ERA? They're both s***ty! But you get under 5.00...and you're a Cy Young candiate! Gosh....I thought everyone knew that. Well there is s***ty, and then there is Jaime "damn they don't score enough runs for me" Navarro. Man would he love being on this team

So does Konerko. I don't care who plays first anymore as long as they can HIT!
