QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 28, 2007 -> 06:58 PM) except not even close. Yeah. Owens is way open and stands tall. Richar is slightly open and stands very low.

Is it just me or does Richar have a very Luis Castillo-like swing? Hit for Richar and the kid gets the ball. 1st AB, 1st hit? Nice.

Good s*** Richar. Even better job by Pods. Ugh.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 28, 2007 -> 04:39 PM) That's not really saying much. I know that, but it's nice to see some good young players filtering through. Fields has been good, Danks as well. I'm very excited about Richar, and we have guys like DLS and Gio back there waiting in the wings. I'm not saying we have an awesome system now, but it'd definitely improving. I, for one, think Richar is going to be a very good player. He's been nothing short of great since joining the Sox. I'm glad to see he's getting a chance.

Richar, Danks, and Fields have given me the most excitement from Sox prospects in a while, probably since Crede.

I don't even get mad anymore. I just laugh. I hope Ozzie tanks it on purpose so KW will finally get rid of some of this garbage.

I thank Andy for 1 thing and 1 thing only, introducing me to the word clusterf***.

Great. 13 K's in his last 20 AB's. Awesome, lets get that guy instead of some young prospects or 2 high consolation picks.

I also knew that all the Kings/Lakers series were fixed. I never had any real evidence or vindication, but it was always in the back of my mind. Remember when Doug Christie's chin fouled Kobe's elbow? Yeah. All those years, the Kings were the best team in the NBA. I felt so bad for Webber. After the Bulls, that was my favorite team.

PETA is going to protest the NFL for being to lenient to Vick. I hate PETA.

Javy! Paulie! AJ! Bukvich! Bobby!

So the population of the world is growing at like 250%?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 19, 2007 -> 11:24 PM) Big outing coming up for Jenks. If he blows it, you're going to really start to see a lot of questions coming out about what happened to his fastball. Like what we've been hearing from you since March?

Was it just me or did the ump call it a strike like 12 seconds after the catch?

"There he goes.....Varitek....no. Yes!" I love you Hawk. 9 steals for Owens. Impressive.

When did the Tigers nickname become the Twinkies?

Not bad Bukvich. That earns you another week in the MLB. Now, can we get an insurance run, or 6?

Nice catch JD!

The Quentin fascination amazes me a bit. He's been absolutely terrible. Like, Brian Anderson bad. He's got tools, but there is a reason they want to deal him. He didn't have a hit all of July and they sent him back down. The only thing I like about him is that his birthday is a day after mine. But then again, I'd take him in an instant if all we had to give up was Contreras.

You do not trade Danks unless you get tons of top spects in return. Garland on the other hand, could go.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 14, 2007 -> 04:58 AM) At least he has upside though. Too bad he called Pau Gasol "soft" in the Serbian Press. Darko can say whatever he pleases.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 14, 2007 -> 01:05 AM) Could the Bulls have even afforded Darko though? The MLE is 4.35 IIRC and Darko got 3/21. If they could have had him though, your right he is the best option. And I'm not a huge Scola fan, but that's just my opinion. MLE is 5.35, plus the 2.5 million extra under the cap, added to the fact they could have sign and traded Noc for him. You do the math. Darko, at a cheaper cost, and as the starting PF for 2 year, starting C from then on, is much, MUCH better than 8 mil for Noc as a bench guy.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 14, 2007 -> 01:00 AM) Not a bad deal. Moore was probably the best option, but I'd think he will sign for more than the MLE, so that kinda eliminates him actually. Smith is a little bit better and more athletic than P.J., so i'd consider it a mild upgrade in that regard. Darko was by far the best option. I've already stated my case as to why Moore is a fluke. He is a solid player on both ends, but you know what you're getting with Smith. I still would have have much rather had Darko or Scola.

Smith OK's 2-year deal with Bulls Discuss
