I cannot even begin to fathom why anyone would be down on Poreda right now and NOT give him an opportunity to start.

Win by 50. Do it.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 11:48 PM) you trade Gobble to Cleveland instantly. It's not like he's good. If anything, trading him to Cleveland probably helps the Sox win a couple more games this season Especially if Konerko is hitting against him.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 05:22 PM) Rockies considering trading Garrett Atkins for David Weathers and Carlos Gonzalez for Freddy Sanchez. I guess in comparison, the Allen/Pena deal isn't so bad if the Rockies made those moves. Yikes.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 08:35 PM) Random question on a different subject. Does anyone out there look at all the money Dallas has spent this offseason and think "There's a legit title contender"? Not at all. Thats a really poorly put together team.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 08:22 PM) The only consolation for this front office being so bad (at least IMO) is that because of the suckage, we got Derrick Rose. We lucked into it. I give them no credit for that whatsoever.

Adrian Wodzenkerekowoski from Yahoo's Twitter: Of course they haven't, it makes sense and makes the team better, so they won't consider it. I really hate this front office sometimes. Stop sitting on your damn hands.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 08:02 PM) Lottery protect it. But would Utah take that?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 07:56 PM) If the Blazers are asking for our 1st rounder I'd hold out and try to get Bayless as the part coming back...but I don't think that I'd hold out for too long on that issue. I'd be really hesitant to include our 2010 1st rounder. If Boozer goes down for a prolonged period, we'll be scoring 70 points a game and that will be quite the pick.

Wow, Tyrus Thomas' facebook status as of 28 minutes ago:

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 05:18 PM) Here's the print version. Yeah, I read that, I was wondering if they said anything on SportsCenter.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 05:06 PM) Espn just mentioned it. Did they mention anything relevant?

That would be such an incredible trade for the Bulls. Not only would Boozer make us better, but we'd be swapping out Hinrich's deal for Boozers, which also improves our cap situation for next season. I would imagine we'd probably be getting one of Blake/Outlaw/Fernandez as well to even out salaries. And we get rid of Tyrus! Rose/Blake/Hunter Salmons/Pargo Deng/Thomas Boozer/Johnson/Gibson Noah/Miller

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 04:47 PM) This team has got to figure out how to come back when they are down a few runs to win some games. Good teams can come back, we have only 2 times this year were we have won when down after the 6th. Thats a pretty telling mark that needs to be reversed in the 2nd half. We were down 7...I think we did a decent job of coming back, but you have to seal the deal.

I JUST WANNA USE YOUR LOVE TONIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 04:37 PM) Pena haters beware. He has nasty stuff. This outing was very encouraging. I now like the deal (I was on the fence before). After one inning?

Pena K's Shoppach with a nasty breaking ball.

Pena has control issues so far.

Pena has a bit of a funky leg-kick motion.

Can we please rape Kerry Wood. I hate this guy.

Alexei's bat looks slooooow today.

Tony Pena sighting.

Wow, I thought that was a deep gapper off the bat.

That was a helluva pitch by Sipp.

That looked like it got him right in the hip bone.
