Is Hawk calling their catcher "George" Carllin?

Hawk is such a dork

I'd walk him

My Man!

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ May 27, 2012 -> 10:33 AM) I'd trade everybody, Komerko, AJ, Thornton, Crain, Peavy etc. I still don't think we're a good team. We're probably "dangerously" good though. The Sox are just good enough that trading the veterans will cause anther white flag situation. Too many people will cry if the Sox do the right thing. IMO, the white flag trades were the right move then and it would be the right move now. The problem with this, even if you are right, is that this is the team Kenny has been trying to put together since the day after we lost to the Rays in the 2008 ALDS. I think it would be tremendously difficult for him (and the fans) to deal with trading all those core players away right when it looks like it all could be coming together.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 27, 2012 -> 10:24 AM) You're right. The White Sox do not have money to make a move at the trade deadline. If they are in position to win the division, they will find some money. They always do. Even if it means trading off a surplus part (Thornton) for a more needed part (3b, SP).

So what is his trade value now?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 27, 2012 -> 06:06 AM) Marty is right about one thing. We are much better set up to compete this year than any year going forward, because of AJ and Peavy. Alexei isn't getting any younger. Konerko only has one more season under contract. It almost feels like 2007-2008 all over again, where we were just about to rebuild only to end up re-signing Buehrle/Konerko and keeping the 2005 nucleus around for one more run at it, which somehow got extended by four more years because of Danks/Quentin/Alexei/Ramirez/Viciedo/Beckham/Sale/Rios/Peavy all coming into the organization over a two-year period. Still feels like we're "stuck" with no clear direction...other than the fact we're not going to cripple this team's chances to compete (because it will be our best shot for 2-3 more years) and we're not going to cripple the future either with any blockbuster deals, like one for David Wright, which will completely decimate what's left of our minor league system. The Mets are 26-21 right now, so I don't know that they can really move Wright until they fall back a bit anyways...it's going to be tough enough for them to move the face of that franchise, it will be even tougher if they are actually in the race. But as it stands now, they have a better record than we do. I think it's pretty clear you look to stay where you're at for now unless someone really bowls you over with a move for Floyd or Thornton. Otherwise, keep watching that waiver wire for another small addition.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ May 26, 2012 -> 09:28 PM) The 2005 post season taught us a lot about Berman and Hawk. Berman is bad doing play by play and couldn't hold in that East Coast bias. It's sad that people did not get to hear Hawk for that post season. I hate it when he calls Stone, stone pony. Hawk did not create that one...Stone has been called that since his pitching days.

Happy BDay fellas! Enjoy your day!

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 26, 2012 -> 09:26 PM) Is that you, Joe?

Look, the overall goal is to produce the most possible talent with the resource pool that you have. I could care less if we draft them, if we steal them all from Cuba, if we abduct them from North Korea, if we trade for them, if we claim them on waivers...I could give a rat's ass. We have clearly not had any huge hits with out high draft choices within the last several years. Sale, Hudson, Gio probably being our best selections. However, we have had some major finds in other areas, such as the waiver wire, the Cuban signees, some trades, etc. So technically, by the strictest definition of things, yes, maybe our "farm" system sucks. However, we consistently find ways to produce quality players, and the evidence of that is out there, whether on our ballclub or elsewhere.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 26, 2012 -> 01:36 PM) I think we're good today. Fox is running Saturday Night games right now. DirecTV has both our channel and Cleveland's channel listed. Excellent...thanks!

Hey Balta, are we getting screwed again by Fox?

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ May 26, 2012 -> 05:53 AM) Great win. We are playing some impressive ball right now. Is Quintana very highly thought of? Havn't been following our farm teams of late... thanks in advance Nope. But he's now shut down the Indians pretty well on two occasions.

Ugh, here we go with the Jeckyl side of Stewart

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 25, 2012 -> 09:08 PM) And Tampa has taken their creative management, especially on defense, to another level this year. Doubt that has much to do with Dave Martinez...

Veteran play by ODawg...might have bought Gordo a hit

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 25, 2012 -> 08:45 PM) It's amazing how the Sox have some players with fantasy league value this year ... first time in a while cept for Paulie. Paulie ... AJ ... Tank ... Dunn ... Sale ... even DeAza all can produce for any fantasy league team. Reed maybe at some point. His 18 ERA in a meaningless non save situation is a stat killer. De Aza is putting up great all-around numbers...very Shane Victorino-ish

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 25, 2012 -> 09:40 PM) Yeah, I know. I was marveling that he actually made third. Thought maybe you were watching online

Tank! Hawk's got to quit with the Michael Kay A-bomb s***

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 25, 2012 -> 09:38 PM) A.J. with a triple? Woah! Bad play by the cf
