He may still be able to pitch, but I don't want him for 2 more years. Get rid of him for whatever you can. AND THIS BALLGAME IS OVA!!!!!!!

Hopefully some NL team will make us an offer for The Count. Maybe get a couple of lower level prospects, just so we get off the hook for his contract.

There is no excuse for only getting 4 hits and one run of this pitcher. This team is just a big pile of s***!!! Where do you even start at in terms of rebuilding this team? Sure am glad Pods is back in the lineup!!!! hahaha What a joke!!

Well I would have never thought in a million years we would be as bad as the Royals. It just defies logic. Well I don't get the love Ozzie has for this Gonzalez kid. Why not just bring up Sweeney, stick him in right everyday, and let him play. I don't understand this orginazation sometimes and the way they think.

After tonight we will be a game out of LASTPLACE!!!! That is f***ing sad!!!

3 hits in 6 inning against Brian f***ing Bannister. How f***ing pathetic!!

I wish they would say whether or not they are gonna sign Buerhle or not. Because this offense needs alot of help. Does anyone know what the hell is Dye's situation? I mean is the guy gonna be puut on the DL, so we can bring someone else up.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 29, 2007 -> 04:52 PM) They weren't Fielder was playing No Double Cheeseburgers depth. They were holding the runner on. Why, I am not sure. If they weren't Fielder would have had a play. Oh well, they are still 6.5 out of first. That's alot of ground yet to make up.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 28, 2007 -> 03:37 PM) While we're foolishly waiting around for any type of update, what's everyone's percentage in terms of Buehrle re-signing in the next 2 days? I'm at 30 pct now. 95% he signs a deal. Then I believe KW has something in place where Jose will be shipped out. Hopefully I am right.

Congratulations BIG MAN!! See you in Cooperstown!!!

On sportscenter, Tim Kurkjian was on and just said, Buehrle is off the trading block, because KW wasn't getting anywhere near the talent that he was looking for in trades. Says that they are gonna try to work out an extension, but it may take awhile.

Well I hope this is true and they do agree on 4/50. That would just go and show everyone that Mark really does like it here, and they he gave a discount to the Whitesox. I really don't see how the union will have any say in this issue at all. If Mark chooses to accept that contract, then I see no problem with it, nor should anyone else.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 06:28 PM) He's worthless against LHP....Santo = dorf, if you're reading this, what would you think about trading Thome? I know this question is for Santo=dorf fathom, but I would trade him if you could get some good prospects for him. I don't think there is any untouchables on this team as it stands right now.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 06:16 PM) I f***ing hate Andy Gonzalez. The fact that he's starting and batting second is a complete f***ing joke, he should be in AA. I agree 100%. What the hell did this kid ever do to be starting everyday?? He is terrible, and there is no way he should be playing. Especially batting 2nd. Not like it really matters though.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 05:25 PM) That said, look how many teams made the same decision. You should deal with Boras if the demands are worthy but if drafting the Boras client is going to cost you way more than the player is worth or prevent you from being able to go above slot money later on in the draft than it is a mistake. I just think the Sox should take it on a case by case basis. I also think they are pretty accurate in terms of not dealing with Boras in free agency, but they shouldn't just ignore the player. No reason you don't make contact if a player interests you, but if it is going to be a poor financial/baseball decision to give them the money the player is asking than you move on and find someone else (but you should at least take the time to inquire). I agree with what you have to say. It should be on a case by case basis. But everything I ever read was that JR and KW will not deal with Boras at all. I just don't agree with that. Especially if teams like Detroit who are in your division are gonna go ahead and deal with Boras.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 05:16 PM) It's funny because the exact opposite of what he said is true. If the White Sox as well as other teams ahead of them in the draft refuse to deal with Boras clients then the Boras players will drop from where they were supposed to go and players the Sox may have been interested in who are not Boras clients will end up being selected earlier in the draft than they probably should be often times before it is time for the Sox to pick. So in other words he's already perpetuating falsehoods as fact. After 3 years Danks will be eligible for ARBITRATION meaning Boras will still have to wait another 3 years to get Danks his big payday. So in other words, this shouldn't become a problem until 2013, assuming Danks is still with the team at that time and the planet isn't run by giant, cyborg ants or some s***. Thanks for the info Kalpse. I just don't agree with the whole not dealing with Boras idea. To me it comes across as cheap, this years draft was a perfect example. We drafted the Poreda kid instead of the Porcello kid just because he is represented by Boras. But then the Tigers go ahead and draft Porcello. We are in the 3rd largest market in the U.S. you would think if Detroit can afford to deal with Boras, we should be able to. Boras always seems to have the most talented players, but we refuse to deal with him. I just don't get it.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 05:04 PM) Nope, we'll deal with him. But thankfully we didn't have to deal with Boras when drafting Danks. I'm not so sure we will deal with him. Crede was gonna be gone after 2008 because he is a Boras client. So I take it if Danks pitches unbelievable for the next 3 years, then Boras is gonna want a big payday for him also. To me the whole, we won't deal with Boras is a bunch of crap.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 04:39 PM) You know that's different, though. We dealt for Danks and don't have to deal with Boras for three years. It's not the same as giving a first round pick a big fat bonus. So in 3 years the we let Danks leave, just so we don't have to deal with Boras?

If I am KW I am listening to offers for EVERYONE. I'm not saying I would deal everyone, but it doesn't hurt to listen. You may get blown away by an offer, so I would listen to offers for whoever teams come calling for.

5-22 last 27 games. That is just downright embarassing. How the f*** Greg Walker has a job is a f***ing mystery. The offense has been like s*** the 2nd half of last year, then like s*** in ST, and for the first 3 months of this year have been like s***. How he has a job is un f***ing real to me.

HOW THE f*** DOES GREG WALKER STILL HAVE A JOB!! THAT JUST BOGGLES MY MIND. THIS TEAM HASN'T HIT SINCE THE FIRST HALF OF LAST YEAR, AND THE f***ING GUY STILL HAS A JOB!!! UNf***INGREAL!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 04:04 PM) For on the field purposes the rest of the year, I just don't want to see the Cubs make the playoffs. I don't think they will They just look good right now cause they are playing us. They lost 2 of 3 to the Rangers ealier in the week. They aren't as good as the appear in this series. If we had any kind of offense we could have taken 2 of 3

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 04:00 PM) I don't see why the Cubs would want Gagne, unless Dempster's injuries are more severe than they say they are. I'll be so pissed if another NL Central team trades away their best player to the Cubs for chump change. I'm more worried about who we trade off, and the players we get in return. I could care less what the Cubs do or who they get.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 11:27 AM) Both will be on the DL by the middle of next week. It's too bad we didn't try to trade Dye two weeks ago. He has zero value now. He had zero value then. Put him on the DL for 15 days. There will be more than enough time for him to be traded when he comes off the DL. Maybe the time off wil help him mentally.

This team is so f***ed up, where do you even start trying to fix it?? I have no f***in clue what to do. And I have no confidence in KW trying to rebuild this club!!!
