QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 04:30 PM) Wow, let's post this as mandatory reading for all new members (and some current members too). Do you mean to tell me we can't just, you know, make trades because it makes sense for US ?!?!? what no baj? where is the Baj? the greatest pitcher in minor league history. Nobody wants the Baj? poor Baj.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) I have always been a big believer in that saying, "It's better to give than receive", how about you? start practicing as we discussed today. Back at you.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) It was a joke. Either way, I don't think teams like the A's, Angels, Twins, Yankees, and Red Sox are going to allow a bullpen arm to get to us. Maybe a hitter, but only if it's an expensive one, such as Griffey. i know, I actually understand humor.

so the twins trade was s*** right?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) Imagine it's Christmas morning. For months, you've been hoping and praying to get all of these fun different toys. You tell all of your friends what you're getting. You put together a list of these toys for your parents so they can go out and get them for you. You even go so far as to plan on what you're going to do with each toy. You just can't wait for that one day to come, then they're all yours. It finally comes, you wake up early, and run down the stairs in your pajamas to see one big present sitting under the tree. You think to yourself, "There's only one, so this one has to be good." You tear the wrapping paper off and rip open the box. What did you get?! Geoff Blum. but you also gave away Harris and Gload. So basically you gave two pieces of s*** away as presents. Ta da. Now lets hope they find something in the waiver stocking.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 04:04 PM) Is this guy on crack? THis dude needs to go. He is a piece of s***.

just to keep this going, the update just happened and the guy said the Padres acquired Geoff Blumm for a minor leaguer. Seriously I am with Milkman this guy needs to be fired.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:53 PM) No it is not your fault. However, sometimes posting etiquette or dare I say common sense says to say something like the following: "The sportscenter guy just said Tracey to the White Sox ... from the Padres ... something is messed up here ... maybe I will just wait until they announce it again and report back to the thread." OR Maybe wait to post until you know the whole story. The last I checked, there is no SoxTalk Door Prize for being the first one to post stuff. Maybe it's better to accurate than speedy ... So what your saying is don't stick a sign on yourself that says look at me everyone, I have news?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:49 PM) Harris and Gload have both been optioned to Charlotte. tired arms in the bullpen. too bad.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) I suspect Josh is in the bathroom at the moment. Josh is it coming out of both ends? Do you realize how many people are waiting on your report?

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:37 PM) So Josh says they definitely said the White Sox. Hmmm ... Interesting. Well Where the hell is Josh? Josh, what exactly did you hear again? Are you sure you justt didn't peak at another board?

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:33 PM) The D'Backs forum say Tracy was traded to Seattle for Guardado. http://www.forums.mlb.com/n/mb/message.asp...g=25652.1&ctx=0 But they definately said the whitesox

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:29 PM) Quick I agree. But Its not like he's just started posting so I'll give a little leeway here. We'll see what happens. We shall see what happens. I understand, I will give the benefit. Not trying to start something.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:26 PM) I'll give Josh the benefit of the doubt here. But were you listening on the radio or what? Someone else would of heard it plus it wouldn't be for a PTBNL. Chad Tracy is someone that would cost some decent prospects and maybe even a major league reliever. Well, I don't know how you cna mix this up. He seems to be the only one in the nation who heard this. I think its poor taste if he is just spitting this out there.

who did the cubs give up for lawton

Wow phillips with big praise for kW

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:10 PM) You know Kenny and fact of the matter other teams weren't willing to make deals. Nothing you can do about it. Olney said Kenny was willing to deal McCarthy for anyone he felt made the Sox a World Series competitor. Fact of the matter is, none of the other playoff rivals have done anything as of yet. Cubs acquire Matt Lawton. Yes I hope they paid alot for him as well.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:48 PM) Fine, Jim, not Baj. What about Diaz or Munoz? Both doing much better than Adkins, and Diaz has been coming off an injury. Adkins isn't good. Not one bit. Well Ozzie liked adkins in spring training and probably promised him something. all I can think of.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:46 PM) How can we be tied to every single major trade rumor and come away with nothing but Geoff Blum. I'm not pissed at KW, but God damn it I am sorely disappointed. me too, but there is no doubt the asking price might have been too high.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:44 PM) NO ONE has made a deal, but I've heard Bo Sox and twins 5 times already. I think thats because those guys are centered on trading and are closer to the race. We are 13 games up, with the best record, we are running away with it. nothing to say. Separate note: I am very surprised Tampa has not traded there guys yet, lamar is indeed nuts.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:41 PM) wtf, Have the words White Sox come out of any of these f***ers mouths yet? nothing to say. There is nothing going on.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:35 PM) Adkins sucks. Jeff Bajenaru, along with killing innocent babies, kicks puppies too. And kittens. And then he spits on them. That's what I'm hearing. not the Baj crap again, please not the Baj threads. God I hope they trade Baj so I wouldn't have to hear all the teenagers rave about the Baj.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:31 PM) One of the Charlotte guys said Jon Adkins has been called up, so there needs to be roster moves before tomorrows game at the latest. really, I really liked Jenks, unless Hermy is hurt.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:30 PM) Yes, and they would tell the truth. :rolly qwerty, I realize this, just reporting what I heard.
