QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 08:01 PM) Do you suppose DJ is embarrassed reading the SEND YOUR FAVORITE WHITE SOX PLAYERS TO THE ALL STAR GAME copy? I'm sure he is.

They're going to devote ECW and Smackdown, too? Not saying that's too much. I haven't watched those shows in years so I didn't (don't) know if it's common practice to give Tribute Shows on all three.

That's the stupidest thing I've heard on these boards. What the hell is wrong with Stone?

No, I'm not trying to be overly critical, I'm just saying.

I doubt Cleveland would do Sizemore for Jenks. I think that's bulls***. In fact I'm sure it's bulls***.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 07:50 PM) Well, it was his last match and everything... I still don't think it fits, or that it properly displays him as a wrestler.

Come on WWE, air better Benoit matches. There's so much greatness to be shown. Last week's show just doesn't belong there.

I don't like John Cena's face.

(My eleven year old cousin says "this is karma for the McMahon angle. Goddamn Vince McMahon with his goddamn storyline.") (I don't agree, but it was interesting.) RIP Benoit.

Oh my God, this is f***ed up. God bless the Benoits.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 12:47 PM) How do you think Boras is feeling about A. Jones and Crede right about now? Jones will get his money.

I really should start picking up whatever pitcher faces the Sox on my fantasy team. Every so often they'll get the s*** bombed out of them but every so often isn't that often.

How THE f*** did Fields K against this guy?

Yeah, I think this is the announcement, too, as I hadn't seen it anywhere else. Good luck with it all.

I'd take my chances on Buehrle but EVERY pitcher is a huge injury risk. Some are less huge. But they're all big risks.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 04:41 PM) I understand that. It was merely meant as an ironic aside. Okay. I was going to say, "You're better than that." But we're on the same page.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 04:37 PM) And yet the biggest impact player acquired this past offseason is a Boras client. You know that's different, though. We dealt for Danks and don't have to deal with Boras for three years. It's not the same as giving a first round pick a big fat bonus.

Jordan Danks doesn't belong where we'll be drafting next year. If we signed him in the spot we'll be in KW would deserve to be fired immediately.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 04:32 PM) Hughes isn't the best pitching prospect in baseball though, imo. He's very good but there is no guarantee of success (even based on the one good start he had with the Yanks). And no I think the odds are slim, still you never know what could happen (but in all liklihood it would have to involve Cashman basically being told by Kenny that he's going to the Red Sox unless you step up your offer). I don't think that does it. Phillip Hughes is not available. This isn't an "untouchable" like Brandon McCarthy was for us. This is Phillip Hughes.

http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...tesox-headlines THIS, IMO, is one of the bigger problems with our organization going into the future. There are some people you don't give huge money too (Joe Borchard who was more football player than baseball player), but if Pedro Alvarez hires Boras, we pass? f*** that!

He NEEDS to come up by the beginning of August.

Good control. Striking out guys. Not allowing runs. Hot June. Velocity consistently at 92-94 (according to BHAM). Going deep into games. Getting big hammer over.

I threw up in my mouth a little. I guess I'm excited about Richar, Gonzalez and Egbert. I'm skeptical about the rest. The only one on that list that I feel NEEDS to be up THIS YEAR for a significant amount of time is Floyd. I'm not high on him but he needs to spend about half a season up here so we can know what we have.

Of course I was joking. I just don't think they'll give us what we NEED for Buehrle.

Meche's past involves injuries and flukey nonsense. From here on out, he'll be much better than Vazquez.
