Around 7 1/2 I believe.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 05:24 PM) As crazy as this may sound considering their seasons up until now, I'd rather KW take Blanton off Beane's hands. QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 05:27 PM) Blanton is the guy I'd target. He's not an ace, but he's a solid pitcher whose value is down a bit. Yeah, considering what the price would be, I'd take Blanton as well.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 05:09 PM) A 30 year old who hasn't started a game in 5 years, hasn't pitched more than 100 innings in 5 years, with a history of serious durability concerns (had elbow tendinitis and triceps issues to start the '07 season and actually missed most of the year with a surgically repaired hip, started this year on the DL with a strained bicep . . . it goes on and on) through his first 16 starts is sporting a sub 2 ERA and sub 1 WHIP and is a free agent after the 2009 season. I think I know why Billy Beane might be willing to part with Duch. Talk about a high risk, high reward acquisition. I understand it to that end. Maybe Jose would go on the DL to "get right", and would be available if Duch flames out.

QUOTE (Maxwell @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 03:58 PM) Not sure which game(s) in detroit at the start of the year but CQ hit a bomb and pegged someone out who was lazy getting back to 1st after a pop out. The man crush had already begun but it was a major moment of reassurance. CQ guns down Renteria, not to mention the hearts of South Siders.

Oh, April 18: Jerry Owens optioned to AAA.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 04:49 PM) But, I think this would be a good move. Danks and Floyd will be going over their season best IP this year as well and I don't think that should affect them. Duchscherer might just win the Cy Young and he'd be a great addition. We'd be 5 deep with a solid guy like Vazquez at the back of the rotation. I'm not sure what I'd give up for him. Getz, Richard, Broadway, and Crede (maybe?)... Only one of those guys would be traded (Broadway). I'd find it hard to believe the first two would be of more value to them than they would be to us. We would not trade Crede in a pennant race.

A couple of things. One, Obama has done a wonderful job of turning red states purple and purple states red. The fact that he is polling ahead in states like North Carolina is pretty amazing, as he can really seem to mobilize a base. Two, as far as Bill Richardson, at least here in Iowa, he tends to get a lot of respect from both Democrats and Republicans. I have no idea why Survey USA didn't include him on the polling with vice presidential matchups, but I do think he'd make Iowa overwhelmingly blue. It's simply amazing how many people I've talked to from both parties that feel he's very qualified.

Just be ready to face the realization that once you've entered Chicago, you've entered the greatest city on the face of the Earth.

I'd guess something along the lines of Poreda and Shelby, as well as Broadway/Egbert/Soxtalk.com

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 03:56 PM) The team with the better record of the 2 gets home field advantage? Your ideas are intriguing and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

All of them involve Brian Anderson.

Egbert in July 14 IP, 5 H, 1 BB, 16 K, 0.00 ERA Both he and Haeger are on the 40 man, Richard is not.

Gage Budinger

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 10:12 PM) He's 26 and is hitting a solid .295 in Charlotte. Why is that so bad? It's not like we have tons of great OF prospects. Dye can't play forever. In 1-3 years, our OF should be Swisher-Anderson-Quentin. Bourgeois is a utility infielder. He's a poor man's Pablo Ozuna.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 09:02 PM) Why? If Jason Bourgeois is our right fielder, I'll just assume our team plane crashed.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 06:00 PM) Option Russell to AAA, bring up Broadway, and let him spot start. Have Jose pitch out of the bullpen for a week, and see if his velocity improves at all. If it doesn't, DL him with "fatigue" issues. Broadway has been BAAAAD lately.

How do we deal with the nasty issue of him forgetting how to pitch. Do we send him to the DL with a phantom injury? Do we try someone in AAA? Go out in a trade? It's tough to have faith in a 40 year old.

CQ giving someone the death stare.

Painful

Well shucks.

Hawk waxing philosophical

Holler.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 04:50 PM) Did Toby get hurt? I quickly went to shower, and saw that he was pinch run for. No, apparently AJ is available.

Hahaha this is fun Come on CQ!

Tying run to the plate. Just f***ing park one.
