QUOTE(iamshack @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 12:46 AM) I understand Ozzie still controls the lineup card, but I would hope that that is where Kenny would say enough is enough and let this kid play so maybe I can actually get something of value for him for this team next year. The troubling part for the Sox, especially for KW, is that KW will never really concede. Like someone said earlier, he'll just "re-tool", never rebuild. Thats where he really needs to make the decision. Clearly, him sitting on the fence isn't providing a winner. So, either go for it and add someone to put us over the top, or start dealing the expiring contracts and the veterans for top level prospects. Unfortunately, I see a similar fate for Brian Anderson as Joe Borchard's.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 12:42 AM) Tell me this....if you're trading Dye and basically conceding 07', why the heck do you play Erstad and not Brian Anderson? Because Ozzie Guillen would still be manager?

QUOTE(iamshack @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 12:35 AM) I agree with you there- it only makes sense to pave the way for guys that can step in on the cheap. I'm just of the opinion that Fields hasn't conquered AAA because of a great May, and that Joe does enough with his glove to keep him in the starting lineup. I also have to believe that you've got to give Joe every chance possible to heat up so you can actually get some value for him. I don't want to deal Dye for any sort of relievers. Unless you're talking Jonathan Broxton and Saito from LA or something. I'd rather deal him for a ss and a 2b or a young corner OF. And I certainly don't understand what Owens has shown which gives him the edge over BA or Terrerro right now. While he may not be getting the hits, his approach has been pretty refreshing. He doesn't try to pull the ball and the threat of a bunt is always there. I really think he could become a Kenny Lofton type guy if he develops. You put Erstad in LF, Owens in CF, Sweeney in RF, then go out and sign a guy like Ichiro, Hunter, or Andruw Jones this offseason with the extra money and move Owens to LF. Sounds like a good enough plan to me.

In a perfect world, or in an idealistic-realistic type world (lol), we'd realize the positions in which we have guys waiting in the wings. Those being 3B and RF, and to an extent, LF. We deal Crede for some middle infielders, Dye for some relievers, and hopefully we can get something for Podsednik. You plug in Fields, Sweeney, and Owens and use what you got from the deals and build around that. And if we don't think Buehrle can be re-signed, we should try to get something for him too. Because the way he has been throwing, we could rape a team desperate for pitching help at the deadline.

QUOTE(palehose23 @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 11:49 PM) Jose Paniagua- his third of an inning in 2003 made my year. 108.00 ERA was what I will always remember The middle finger just capped it off.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 10:28 PM) I dont know if its my comp......but damn videos to slow. Whos is that? That's Whitewashed in '05's avatar. I'm trying to figure who the chick is.

Whitewashed in '05 = teh best.

QUOTE(Whitewashed in @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 09:35 PM) ... I'll take any W... ugly or not. On the other hand, Garland was great. I thought we were in trouble with his laboring 1st inning. Really good work by him to settle down and work into the 9th. Can't say that enough, he really did earn that win. Nice job by the offense to put up some numbers. Go get em tomorrow Buehrle. Fantastic avatar. You're post...meh.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 09:21 PM) The Sox had one hit in the final 4.2 innings and 14 of the last 15 were retired. They also had 6 hits off of relievers and 10 hits total. Give it a rest and enjoy the win.

Thank god for Bobby. ESPN is a joke.

:Exhales: Why do we have to make every game an adventure?

Somebody tell Iguchi about the f***ing barehand play!

Where was that?

Oh god.

Crede's "dirty" slide will be all over the news by tomorrow.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 08:39 PM) Bats starting to heat up.. I like this new batting order. We probably won't see it again this season.

Paulie got that one!!!

Luckily for Prince Fielder, Mexico, not Argentina, is immediately south of the US.

My god, Crede got a looper right down the middle and fouled it back.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 08:00 PM) Where the hell was that 0-2 pitch? Better than Hawk. Hawk also isn't a national broadcaster.

He is seriously border-line rooting for the Yankees.

Holy hell I thought that was gone.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 07:56 PM) Gio just left the game after 2 and a third scoreless for Birmingham. Uh oh, that smells like an injury. Please be a cramp. Please be a cramp.

Who's chunky man over here?

This must be some sort of weird dream or something. The White Sox are doing things out of the ordinary.
