QUOTE(Goldmember @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 08:16 PM) link So this is an old story. It said the Marlins had not agreed to it as of late Monday.

I will be shocked if KW doesn't bring in an impact player or 2 before the deadline. The White Sox know that this season is probably their best chance for a title.

This is weird. Jenks fastball has deserted him, but his hammer is better than ever.

Pods gets picked off way too much.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) Sweeney time - f*** For the Sox to win they would have had to face him again anyway, might as well get his at bat over with. If Jenks gets him, you have to like our chances.

DJ with a horrible call. Pretty routine play, DJ said nobody was going to get it.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 03:39 PM) i love white sox fans! so if you are the 3rd guest at a party and you are second guessed, then officially you become: a second guessed third guest...hmmmm Yes.

QUOTE(HSC's Biggest Fan @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 03:34 PM) What did Crede do? k

Joe usually does well in KC.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 03:26 PM) Awful execution by JD He gave it a couple of shots. At least there was a solid effort there and not half-assed.

Konerko hasn't exactly excelled in these situations this season.

Pablo can hit

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 02:00 PM) It depends on what happens afterwards. You can't assume the guy was going to be out, so if the guy after him hits a HR, the run is earned because he would have scored anyway. Exactly. There's no conspiracy to raise Buerhle's ERA.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 01:53 PM) Yeah, how can you charge 3 errors but no unearned runs? You have to take in to account if the runs would have scored anyway without the errors. The only questionable one was Uribe's on the throw home. That was scored a fielder's choice meaning the run would have scored without the bad throw and the guy still would have reach first. The other errors were overthrows IIRC and those runs would have eventually scored anyways.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 01:48 PM) If it wasn't for his back problems, he'd have some great numbers by now. Back when the Sox acquired Brook Fordyce they almost traded for Sweeney as a catcher instead. KC wanted more than the Sox wanted to give them. It turns out he was horrible defensively but became a great offensive player.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 01:46 PM) Ya, he just got up and never came back. Brooks came down and was talking to him for a while that night. The former Gov. Jim Thompson was sitting in the first row of that section as well.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) Against the dbacks in mid june he was at the cell and I sat right next to him. Of course I didn't have the guts to say anything to him. Now that's a guy I would love to talk baseball with. Really? I was across the aisle 2 rows back of in him, his black cowboy boots and his buddies. It was the El Duque gets lit up game. He only stayed about 4 innings.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 01:32 PM) Jermaine Dye has grounded into 12 DP's .. The MOST of any Sox hitter. I could have swore it was PK with the way some people point that out all the time. Jermaine!!!!! YES! He was known as Double Play Dye to the fans of Oakland.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 01:21 PM) Jon gets out of it, THAT A BOY JON!!!!!!!! Please don't use that a boy. During the Red Sox series I went Thurs. and Friday, there was a Red Sox fan 2 row behind me, that's all he said every pitch. At a boy Manny, at a boy big Papi, at a boy Billy.......I just got it out of my mind and now you have me reliving my torture.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) And that's as a whole! i cringe at what is as a LH alone Historically he's been a better hitter left-handed. This year has been the opposite.

They couldn't face the Indians or the Twins the first round.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 11:06 AM) Besides it was all Konerko's fault Konerko said Willie was the best at blowing games he ever played with.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 10:38 AM) Another potential darkhorse in the Burnett derby is Atlanta, they just put Mike Hampton on the DL. I really can't see Florida trading Burnett to Atlanta, but stranger things have happened, I suppose. There's no doubt Florida leaking out info is trying to drive up Burnett's price. Conversely, it wouldn't surprise me KW's interest in Baez and Huff for the some of the same package he supposedly is offering for Burnett may also be a little bit of gamesmanship. It will be interesting how it all plays out, because there are going to be some deals made.

Are any of the people who say trading Politte would be the dumbest thing to do the same people who were calling for his head last season?
