QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 03:37 PM) I wasn't trying to be down on Danks, it just seemed to be a lofty comparison. After reading the last couple of posts I decided to look at the Minor League numbers of a Grady Sizemore and compare it to Jordan Danks and to my surprise they are fairly similiar. Granted it is a small sample size for Danks thus far, but I would have to change my view of his ceiling. I also know that Minor League numbers aren't set in stone that is what you will do in the Big Leagues but I have say the Sizemore comparisons is more accurate than I thought. Did Omar Minaya trade Sizemore, Lee and Phillips for Colon. Talk about a bad trade. He did get Rocky Biddle andthat tall guy in return a year later....

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 03:29 PM) They will take a bus or maybe even a train. I wouldn't be surprised if most guys just drive themselves as Monday is an off day and they will be in Chicago next week. Maybe D'Wayne Wise and Josh Fields will get lost along the way.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 03:20 PM) Milwaukee is not that far. That's what makes it funny. Starting at 4:00 and taking the bus......oh forget it.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 02:59 PM) It might also be Lillibridge as he could bunt and do some little things. That said, Konerko ain't going to the DL right now. I posted in the game thread that if they think they are still in it, Thome has to play first in the national league parks if Konerko can not go. That lineup would be embarassing if Thome, Konerko and Quentin are all out in the NL parks.

Hawk's going to start b****ing about what time the flight will arrive if this thing drags on any longer.

Sox oughta call it. Isn't it their decision and 3 games in 5 days would be nice for their health

QUOTE (alexgtp @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 03:52 PM) I will be there friday night. Staying at the Ramada Inn City center. Hitting up Miller tour in the AM Friday. Than lunch at Sobelmans. Than Hitup some of the bars on riverwalk. Head to game, Repeat bar festivities after a White Sox Win. Staying there Friday as well and tailgating before the Friday game. I would offer you a ride to the game but the car is full and I find Soxtalk Folk creppy

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 01:21 PM) why does Berkman suck against the Cubs now? Dempster is horrible. Always has. He was batting .410 last year in late May and went 1-20. Puljols is similar in that he seems to strike out an inordinate amount of times against the cubs. Although he has hit him a time or two as well.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 01:19 PM) He didnt kill himself until 89, but yeah, thats the one. Don Baylor and Dave Henderson did the damage IIRC. Ya I didn't mean that he did it on the field but I thought that it was directly related to his suicide and not that he was chasing down Kung Fu gangs in Thailand.

Cubs and Houston were in a rain delay according to CBS Sportsline.....now that is odd.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 01:16 PM) We have no business bunting with anyone other then D-Wheezey. And that's only because he can hardly hit the ball. Pods and Alexei are fine if we're aiming for a base hit, but why even bother moving the runner over? We can't get him and we're just wasting an out. Cabrearr can not move and nobody has challanged him with a bunt all series. Ramirez baseball I.Q. could be negative.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 01:04 PM) rain delay entertainment: MLB network 1986 Angels vs Red Sox ALCS Isn't that they game that killed Donnie Moore?

Beckham looked good last night. Ramirez looked like he has never played before. Terrible game by he, Dye and AJ again. Getting an Ozzie team will suck as the bunting will be out of control. Funny how bunting is so popular but the hit and run is non-existant. Not sure what the future has in store but you knew yesterday and today were going to be scary bad as far as the hitting is concerned. The Sox should be able to hit the next nine pitchers they face sans Zambrano as I believe they miss Galardo, not sure about Cueto. Thome better play 1B in the NL parks if Konerko is hurt as there are no other options. If he plays well over that span he is then tradable to the NL. What do the Sox have to lose?

Getz would've scored. Jim Joyce and AJ having terrible nights

Dye needs to be moved to 5th as he and AJ have had plenty of opportunities to do something over the past week.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 09:57 PM) The question is: does anyone actually have a good feeling about this? I know I don't. blind squirrel maybe

All Dye needs to do is go to right with it. Do not overswing. Sadly Getz can not run for anyone. Wow is that moving blowing up.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 09:51 PM) plantar fasciities is a biotch....only real thing that helps is rest...it can linger for a long, long time Didn't Pulojs play with this or turf toe?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 09:49 PM) Donde esta Alex Cintron? en el bano

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 09:46 PM) I hope this is not true, so please someone say they're watching the Tigers broadcast. A friend of mine watching in Mississippi is getting the Tigers broadcast and said that their announcers are saying Quentin is out for another month. Pure speculation. Sadly I think injuries will hamper his entire career.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 09:43 PM) Guillen has no strengths as a manager anymore. At least KW has the aggressiveness tag. Think about this...Ozzie's been tossed one time all season, and that was sticking up for Jhonny Perralta. I don't agree with that at all. Since day one I have said he needed a good bench coach he has not gotten one and here we are.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 09:41 PM) You don't want a team with Pierre in CF, Abreu in RF, Figgins at 3B, and give away 5 outs a game via the bunt? Not sure I would hate it. When was the last time the Sox scored three runs in an inning without hitting a home run?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 09:37 PM) The next person to go very well may be Ozzie, I honestly believe that right now. I think the egos of Guillen and Williams may finally become an issue. Really though what are Guillen's options when looking at this team. Guillen is far more valuable to this organization than Williams...I can't believe I just typed that. Hahn cna easily replace Williams, who can replace Guillen? Cora? He is as clueless as they come.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 09:35 PM) I can't help but think even though it may be crazy but Ozzie seems to want to lose so it might force KW to do something with this roster... Sadly, this seems more true than I would like to consider.
