QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Aug 3, 2007 -> 12:23 PM) Alrighty there, Admiral Angry. I'm just saying that Thome is going to retire soon. Konerko has a degenerative hip and the White Sox LOVE him. Thome is signed through next year and has an option in 2009. If the Sox don't pick it up, which they probably won't cuz it's for $13 mil with a $3 mil buyout...I could see Paulie being moved to DH. And errors, like pitchers wins, is not a good stat for defensive ability. That's exactly why they wouldn't put him as the DH. If Paulie can still field, he will play 1B, plain and simple. The team's not gonna play Konerko at DH if he doesn't want to DH. After all, this is the same team that asked for Konerko's opinion on whether or not to trade someone.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Aug 3, 2007 -> 11:38 AM) I think people are forgetting the Sox already have their DH replacement when Thome retires/leaves after his contract is up. He's at 1B. what makes you so confident of that? 1, Paulie hates being the DH. 2, Paulie is and will very well likely still be a very capable defender at 1B.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 3, 2007 -> 11:01 AM) Hows Logan been doing down there lately? I really liked that kid. he started off real hot, but has been in a slump lately.

nice work!

any word on whats wrong with Sweeney? Also, I think it was said that Lucy and Collaro are getting promoted to AAA. Also, is Brian Anderson still active? If so, why? Isn't he done for like the rest of the season?

QUOTE(Purdue129 @ Aug 2, 2007 -> 07:13 PM) GTAIV appears to be pushed back til April 08. In better news BioShock, which comes out in less than 3 weeks, is getting near perfect scores EVERYWHERE. To be honest, I'm kinda happy. There are a lot of good games coming out between now and Christmas, and I wouldn't have the money. Also, for the ps3 owners out there, a demo for graw was released today and is now available for download. Downloading mine as I type.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 2, 2007 -> 06:29 PM) I have the HP w22 and absolutely love it. is it worth the 300 some dollars? The w20 is the same, except two inches smaller, correct?

oh yeah, Sweeney didn't play again today. Either he is injured, which is a strong possibility as he has only played 1 inning in the past 3 games, or he is about to get called up and one of Erstad or Thome are going onto the DL, if not both.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 2, 2007 -> 04:57 PM) Anderson IS not doing a thing, he WAS striking out. He's done, for this year, and quite possibly for good. well, speaking of striking out, In about 180 AB's this season, Fields has K'd about 60 times. Now, I am no math expert, but that adds up to Fields striking out once every three at bats. And he has been a K machine the past week or so. He is on pace to strike out 124 times in only 371 AB's. Now, hopefully he will continue to improve and get his K's under control.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 2, 2007 -> 07:48 PM) Unfortunately the most important part of this game is that Garland is starting to hurt his trade value in the offseason. well, the other side of that is that is makes Garland a little more signable, and I figure if KW had any plans of trading Garland, he would have done it at the deadline instead of waiting till the offseason. As, IMO, Garland's trade value would have been decreased in the offseason anyway.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Aug 2, 2007 -> 06:21 PM) The bullpen went 7.+ innings and gave up 1 run. That was real nice to see. MacDaddy looked real good... I'm glad to see that cause I'm a big fan of his and he is a key part to the bullpen.

I might have asked this before, but I forget... what is wrong with Jim Thome? EDIT: Oh wow, I asked that question in this thread.... so, what's wrong with Jimmy?

before that Twins start, Garland's ERA was about 3.15, wasn't it? He surely seems to be pulling a Buehrle now. Damn you Judy!

That much? Would there be any good ones in the 50-70 range? Also, I am thinking about upgrading my monitor to a 20" or 22" widescreen lcd monitor. I have a 17 inch regular one right now that came with my computer, but I have read great things about the hp w2007 and w2207 monitors.

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Aug 2, 2007 -> 05:00 PM) Is that for sure? no, I am just speculating...

what's wrong with Thome? Sweeney getting recalled today and Erstad back to the DL, perhaps?

JOEY CORA!?!?!!?

Seriously, when you can't even swing without getting injured, you know it's time to hang up your cleats.

Is Joey Cora coaching 3B again?

The umpiring in these past two games has been about as bad as the White Sox have played in these two games.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 2, 2007 -> 07:39 AM) Wow - I wonder how often that has happened - starting games for two teams in one day. he didn't start for Chartlotte, he came in during the 2nd inning.

could someone who is smart answer my question?... I have a pretty good, somewhat powerful computer right now. How will the pcdvd games on the computer look compared to the xbox360 games on a HDTV? Also, I am thinking about upgrading my graphics card. If I were, what type should I get?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 1, 2007 -> 10:35 PM) I'm pretty stupid and you are very smart, so that's easy to do, but how about some raw numbers. Since your BA rankings of Floyd stop at 2005, lets look at his major league numbers from 2005 until today. 94.2 innings, 125 hits 97 runs 27 homeruns allowed 53 walks 59 strikeouts. He blows. he couldn't be ranked after 05 because he lost his prospect status. And please tell me where I said you are stupid and I am very smart... (btw, thats ^ true )

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 1, 2007 -> 10:29 PM) Floyd and his enthusiasts have no room to blame anyone for his struggles other than him. How do explain Haeger s***ting his pants everytime he has been out except for about twice then? What should we blame Haeger's knuckle ball not knuckling all season, in AAA and the majors, on? The weather? Yeah! lets blame the weather for Haeger only having a few good starts in AAA and 1 or 2 good outings in the pros. All the other times Haeger sucked the weather was bad... Believe me, I am no enthusiast of either. In fact, I started that other Floyd thread about him sucking. The matter of fact is, this season is over. Who gives a s***. Lets just see what he can do, and if he sucks, lthen lets see what Haeger could maybe do. It is sad when the whole board in conflicted over this.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 1, 2007 -> 10:28 PM) Its 2007 what's he ranked now? In October 2005 the White Sox were ranked the best team in the world. I see my point flew right over your head...
