QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 08:17 AM) LEadoff hitter for sure. Most likely a second baseman, with Ramirez becoming a supersub. Man, if we can get a leadoff hitter, I would be very excited about this team! Who is out there that we can get? I know Roberts has been talked about here, is he really a legit option? What would it take to get him? Would it be worth it? I guess that last question would only be answered after the season, seeing how far we go. But who else is there?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 08:41 AM) I think either one of Richard and Broadway could be deadline deal trade bait... Kenny smells blood in the water and wants to win this. I really expect a deal to be done here by the 4th of July. You reminded me of something I wanted to ask a few weeks ago... if we make a trade what would it be for? You can never have enough pitching, so maybe that? A leadoff hitter?

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 15, 2008 -> 07:15 PM) Perhaps a stint on the DL is just what Paulie needed. It can help heal his back and thumb, and get him back to 100% come the early part of July, when we will really need a bat. If he goes on the DL, who gets called up? Fields? This might not be the popular choice, but I would bring up Owens. He is hitting .310 in his last 10 games, and he has something this team needs... Speed. I know he doesn't walk a lot, but at this point, can he be any worse then what we have? Bringing up Owens, can also give some rest for Q, BA, and Dye. Agree? Disagree?

Who is Gordon's agent?

Hey all... Quick question... I am going to be driving to Detroit soon, and I was wondering how far north could you pick up AM 670? I would like to listen to the game on the radio as I am driving up there. Also, are there different stations that you can get the game on as you travel up north? Any help would be appreciated!

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 28, 2008 -> 12:22 PM) probably not too bad, he was able to shake it off and run to home, but he could be day to day. Thank you! You guys are really great with all your updates and play by play for people that are at work!

How bad did it look for Alexei?

Dunn just hit a walk off to beat the Indians. We win, were back in first! Let's do it Mark!

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ May 14, 2008 -> 10:24 PM) How about a nice 3 spot here from the top of the order! Or not...

How about a nice 3 spot here from the top of the order!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2008 -> 05:25 PM) I love him, but it's time to release him. Pablo's OPS is below .400 now. I feel the same way about Pablo, but I think your right

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2008 -> 05:06 PM) Weak chopper on the FIRST pitch. He can at least pretend he's a leadoff hitter. I would love to know what he's hitting on the first pitch this year. Sure seems like he makes a lot of weak outs on the first pitch. 2-16, .125 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/splits?playerId=3739

QUOTE (frankie5angels @ May 5, 2008 -> 03:53 PM) From another site I saw this lineup posted. I would still like to see Thome moved down. Sox: Cabrera SS Quentin LF Thome DH Konerko 1B Dye RF Swisher CF Crede 3B Uribe 2B Hall C I, for one, don't mind this at all. Who knows, maybe moving Swish down in the order will help him out?

QUOTE (tommy @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 09:58 AM) When do we find out the starting lineup? Swish, RF; OC, SS; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; AJ, C; Quentin, LF; Ramirez, 2B; BA, CF; Ozuna, 3B. Contreras pitching.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Apr 26, 2008 -> 10:01 AM) So... I assume the game restarts right? It'll be top of the first again? I am pretty sure your right, but I'm not 100%. Didn't they change it where it gets suspended, and they pick it up the next day? Or am I thinking of something else?

From the Blog: Today's Game 1 Lineup Swish, RF; OC, SS; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; Quentin, LF; Crede, 3B; Ramirez, CF; Uribe, 2B; Hall, C. Danks pitching. This Morning's News As I walked into the clubhouse, a serious-faced Ozzie Guillen walked past me toward Mark Buehrle, who was talking to a group of Chicago media. "I'm going to tell him he's starting," Guillen said. Ever alert, I thought he was joking ... since Ozzie never appears that serious and Mark started last night's abbreviated game. Turns out I was wrong. Buehrle will start Game 2 tonight at 6:05 pm. Here's what happened ... This morning, Buehrle text-messaged Guillen saying he could pitch. When he arrived at the ballpark, they met and discussed the idea with everyone. Result: the left-handed ace pitches tonight ... "I wanted to make sure," Guillen said. "Mark's my ace and will be here a long time. We plan to compete all season long and he's a big part of that competition." Guillen did admit that Buehrle's soft-throwing nature factored into the decision. "He probably could start every day." So Nick Masset was quickly called and told to get to the ballpark ASAP. "We haven't had too much luck with doubleheaders here," Guillen noted, remembering that last year the Twins swept the Sox by what Guillen estimated was a score of 62-4. "Lots of runs, long games, ugly. "If you have to play a split doubleheader, at least you have Buehrle pitching in game two." To The Record Books So now the research begins for the last Sox pitcher to start consecutvie games on consecutive days ... Wood? Seaver? Answer later.

What new additions are on the club menu?

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 10:36 AM) I think the Swish goes downtown today. To leadoff the game, and never look back... that would be nice!

QUOTE(iamshack @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 10:32 AM) Thanks! No problem. Kind of wish Anderson was playing...

Swish, CF Cabrera, SS Thome, DH Konerko, 1B Dye, RF AJ, C Quentin, LF Crede, 3B Uribe, 2B

QUOTE(wilmot825 @ Mar 19, 2008 -> 12:01 PM) The reason I said cocky was the fact I met him the night before Soxfest began. I was inside the private party at ESPN Zone, and met all the players and coaches. Jerry Owens refused to sign autographs until he finished eating, but all the other players signed and took pictures while they ate. Then afterwards I asked for his autograph and photo and he was like "yah but lets hurry it up," then before I could get a picture he sidetracked to talk to Greg Walker. Maybe I just had a bad experience with him, but he comes off as cocky and a jerk...to me atleast. Normaly I wouldn't post this, but come on, you have got to be kidding me?!?! How would you like it if someone came up to you while you were trying to have dinner?!?!? Let me tell you this, I have had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Jerry Owens the person, even had a few drinks with him, and he is one of the most laid back nice guys on the club. Him, along with Swisher and Danks, spent atleast an hour with me and a buddy of mine during soxfest at the bar just talking sports, and not once did he come across as "cocky" or a "jerk" He was even nice enough to take a picture with me as well. Jerry Owens is a 100% class act.

I'm in.
