Kenny should be punished accordingly for yet again trading for a crappy Royals player. Plus signing him to an extension....

Why is Q sitting again? Is he hurt/being shut down? Also, any word on KC lineup? I am curious if Teahan is back for them yet. He kills MB.

Man, we needed this one.

Nothing can ever be easy, can it.

QUOTE (GO CHI SOX! @ Jul 7, 2009 -> 08:32 PM) In my opinion, Kenny just picked up one of the best relievers available, so he can control the market for relievers by trading someone like Dotel by the deadline. Kenny holds all the cards now, it will be hard for contending teams to pick up a bullpen arm by the deadline, so now we can sit back and wait for all the offers to pour in. So, now we can trade Dotel for a lesser prospect than Allen? That makes no sense. KW isn't a guy who does precursor trades. I don't get this one. I love KW, but he has made a lot of bad trades in his tenure, in addition to the good ones. I don't particularly like the Swisher trade (either time) or the Vasquez trade (either time). Quentin, yes. I just don't get this one; we are a middle reliever away?

Just wait until TCQ fully heals and gets his power back. Thome.

Not a lot of movement on that pitch.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Mar 4, 2009 -> 09:50 PM) Van Benschoten seems like he might be a good bullpen arm. I think Coop can work wonders with him. His delivery seems very smooth. If Coop fixes this guy, then he is truly a genius. It would appear that he needs to get more efficient with his pitches. That was hit pretty hard there. What is this guy's top speed?

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Mar 4, 2009 -> 09:49 PM) I agree with you, man. I've been a fan of Betemit since the season he was traded from the Braves to the Dodgers. He was a sleeper that helped my fantasy baseball team in one of my 20-team leagues that season. I know it was spring training and super super early, but the dude looked brutal on Sunday trying to field the ball. Please tell me this guy is a better fielder than that....

Grab some beeeench! Seriously, how does one become a Cub fan and stay one? I would be around 120lbs right now, if I were one as I would be throwing up every game having to listen to this garbage! Go sit down with the old folks and knit a cubby sweater and shut the hell up. You can put it on the board.....

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Mar 4, 2009 -> 09:35 PM) JER-RY!!! JER-RY!!! JER-RY!!! Jerry just won a spot on the major league club with that hit. I hope Anderson has fun riding buses in triple-A, at least he can have more time to go around looking for hunnies. ....god, I'm so sick of hearing Lou's voice!!! I wish he'd shut the f*ck up! Wtfffffffffffff. I'm turning my tv's volume off if Lou's still flapping his gums when the commercial break is over, his voice is so irritating! You are so dead on about Lou. That was a painful 20 minutes, or was it 2 hours. Jerry on the team with that hit, not so much.

Are there any reports on the B game out there, other than what Poreda did?

Thanks for doing this. I am going out to springtraining in a couple of weeks. Does anyone know if the Sox have a practice schedule posted anywhere? Or, does anyone have a general idea of when they do practice?

This sucks beyond belief. You know damn well that he is going to come back and haunt us. I am going to be sick.

How does someone's blog page get a thread in here? Is it really that slow out there? This is obiously one of the most ridiculous trade scenarios ever invented.

First off, I suspect that this is just another garbage rumor that has no merit. Also, you would have to question if Abreu would even sign such a deal. If we read "Sox sign Abreu to a 1 Year Deal", then we can get carried away. With that said, this has been such a boring offseason, that I too welcome any opportunity to speculate on Sox moves. In regards to Figgins for Dye or whoever, remember that KW would not necessarily see that as a one for one trade. At Soxfest, he preached about how he always looks at the money saved in a deal and what it leads to next. For example, he claims that they were able to sign the Cuban 3rd baseman, with money saved from trading Swisher. I don' t know how all of the salaries would net out, but he may see trading Dye for a minor leaguer, and then signing Abreu, would net $3MM to $4MM on the plus side, which would then allow us to sign the next Cuban star, or whoever else. I think adding Figgins and Abreu, then subtracting Dye, would leave the Sox with more net salary, however. So, if they were to sign Abreu, I see Dye being moved for a minor leaguer, allowing them to net a plus on the salary side. I also have this vision/fear of them thinking Abreu could play CF as well. He couldn't be much worse than Swisher out there. This certainly would be counter-intuitive to everything KW has preached over the last three months, however.

I would love to have Roberts, but this would make little sense, unless they tink Floyd's year was a fluke. Remember, that Mr. Beckham is likely not far away. Why sign a big contract with Roberts, in that case, unless you think Beckhham will go to 3rd.

Hopefully, they can get Dye, Konerko and Ramirez going tomorrow. OC is due as well.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 05:52 PM) Game 5 will probably be at 7:30 am. If Boston wins, I assume we will play later.

He is way behind so far.

Not this guy again.

Starting off real patient once again.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:08 PM) The last time you'll see him in a White Sox uni. Thank God. I know I wouldn't miss him, but his trade value has certainly dropped and he carries a relatively high price for what he delivers as of late. We already have to fill one hole with Contreras out. I bet he is back.
