What's BS is the waiting for the HOF festivities to be over to announce this. Palmeiro and his illegally enhanced body could have affected the outcome of a couple of games, and that's not right.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 10:32 AM) Christ, how can Timo be leading off. If Pods legs are bothering him and he's not stealing, Timo is actually a better option.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 10:31 AM) I wonder if purjury is on Palmeiro's plate now? I doubt it, but you knew when it happened he was coached to point and say what it was he said. I have come to one conclusion, Jose Canseco did not lie about 1 player in his book.

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 10:56 PM) I have heard another suspension due to Steroids will be handed out shortly. Speculation is that this will be the biggest "name" yet. MLB will wait until Monday, after the HOF Inductions are done, to spill the details. Nice job. You must have a good source.

Rumors everywhere that Palmiero is getting suspended for steriods

There are going to be guys available that will clear waivers. A lot of the teams that think they have a chance will realize they don't in the next few weeks. I still think KW will acquire an impact-type of player , and the asking price will be a lot less. He really doesn't need anyone for the regular season at this point, just for the playoffs. This is the year to go for it. NY and Boston may never be this beatable in the same season for a while.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 07:00 PM) Ok, just wanted to make sure. I'm trying to ease up a little bit on here. Don't ease up. Frustration just shows you care.

Konerko should grow a long shaggy beard

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 06:57 PM) Iguchi steals second easily. Man, what's the pitch count on this guy? 59

QUOTE(wsox08 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 06:52 PM) that's what I was thinking.. I go to most of the home games and I know there have been at least 4 times runs have scored because of his errors. That would constitute usually.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 06:51 PM) Anyone know if Blum is with the team today? He is supposed to be ready to go tomorrow.

Sosa is lost at the plate. He looks like a slower version of the guy who struggled to hit .200 with the White Sox.

QUOTE(wsox08 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 06:45 PM) :headshake Joe doesn't make many errors, but when he does, runs usually score.

Its 5-1 for now.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 06:38 PM) Whenever i hear that excuse it sounds dumber each time. It sounds dumb, but it happens a lot.

Shut them down in the 1st for a change Freddy.

As much as Uribe has been maligned this season, he has accounted for just as many runs as Podsednik if you take runs + rbi - hr

They could still get someone in August. Olney called KW the most aggressive GM in baseball.

Ozzie simply wanted another pitcher, and as JimH pointed out, a guy who could pitch mutiple innings. The off days are very few in the coming weeks. A reserve player had to be sent down. So they got Blum, because he can play where Willie and Gload play, and is a switch hitter. As far as I could tell the White Sox have done quite well without Ross Gload in the line-up this year. I can also remember they would probably have another victory if Ross Gload would have stayed in Charlotte this season. Could you imagine the outrage on this board if KW packaged Gload and Baj in a deal? People, they aren't that good.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:50 PM) So Adkins officially up? Yes.

Harris and Gload have both been optioned to Charlotte.

Both Harris and Gload were sent to Charlotte. Adkins up and Blum

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:41 PM) Yeah, I realize he's not lying on purpose but it's damn fun putting him thru the wringer wouldn't you say? I see your point.

I don't think Josh is lying. Its on the other board as well. It may not be true, but he's just being the messenger.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:18 PM) No, there isn't. If other teams aren't willing to make a deal you can't get pissed at Kenny. Afterall, this team has the best record in baseball and while they aren't playin as good as they have as of late, they are still a very very good ball club. If you can get into the post-season anything can happen. I got faith in my Sox You can't be mad at not overpaying. And I'm going to hold out criticism until I see where this team ends up, but they base their philosophy on picking up pieces at the deadline. If the prices for these players is unreasonable, this philosophy must change. If the White Sox don't win the WS, I don't want KW to tell us the annual,"you know I'm not afraid to be agressive" line for mid-season acquisitions. A 13.5 game lead does a lot to calm the nerves.
