QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 1, 2007 -> 08:53 PM) WTF? Ricks' numbers weren't even that good at W-S. Why skip over Lucy? Of course, Ricks is playing 3B tonight, not catcher, so maybe there is something else up. Or maybe they want Wiki to get starter time at Charlotte, and Ricks will be the backup C. Or maybe they want Ricks to go back to being a 3B? Who knows. Some of these moves just seem odd to me. ETA: MILB's site is screwed up. Where did you read this anyway? Just curious. He just showed up on their roster.

I don't know if Hawk realizes Egbert exists.

Per Hawk. Fathom just yelled a little.

Charlotte is now out of outfielders. They can have Darin back.

Sweeney pulled.

crazy Looks like I-35 W

Pods RBI triple, Sox up 1-0. Shut em down Danks. That's all you get.

So, I guess they're letting Lucy ride out the year in Birmingham.

Goddamn, Erstad sure loves America.

QUOTE(chiguy79 @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 09:49 PM) I am guessing in Ames, Iowa you don't share an office with a bunch of obnoxious cubs fans who give you s*** every day about the Cubs being in/near first and the Sox sharing the cellar with the Royals. Personally I agree that they don't have legs in the playoffs but I would have said the same thing about the Cards last year..if Lilly/Marquis turn into Weaver/Suppan for two weeks in October stranger things can happen...and no one else in the NL seems close to dominating. All I wish is if we could have a box score where all the pitchers in the games ERAs aren't over 5.40...it is amazing to think it has come to this. It's Iowa, everyone's a f***ing Cubs fan.

I could give less than two s***s about the Cubs.

I'd love to bring him back after the season.

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 08:58 PM) BONDS IS A GOD 755 blehhh

For the love of f***, call up Egbert. BTW, I plan on watching the Dodgers tonite. should be enjoyable watching Bonds getted booed unmercifully.

QUOTE(stretchstretch @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 05:34 PM) teams that have benefitted from trading with the Sox are more likely to do it again, Roward, Blum, El Duque paid off and those teams are coming back again Yup, Ryan Meaux is totally kickin ass for the Pads.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 03:03 PM) When Utly returns, Gooch will likely slide over and play some third for the phillies. That isn't even borderline retarded, it's completely retarded.

Even better, this allows for the promotion of Kenny Perez, a well deserving scrub, to AAA.

TRANSACTIONS: The Chicago White Sox today announced that IF Kenny Perez has been promoted to Class-AAACharlotte. In 25 games withBirmingham Perez batted .265 with seven extra-base hits and 17 RBI. In addition, IF Chris Getz has been activated from the Disabled List. Getz was placed on the DLon May 27th with a leg injury.

Mackowiak's salary was quite obviously crippling this organization.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 30, 2007 -> 10:26 PM) he sounds like a good future SU man... I won't be happy about that, but I can live with that. He's still going to be a starter.

Jack Egbert had a good month. 3-1, 1.50 ERA, 30 IP, 24 H, 5 R, 7 BB, 41 K

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2007 -> 10:31 PM) I'll update it on Wednesday when the smoke clears. Things could change quite bit in the next 16 and a half hours. Saying and doing that is begging for nothing to happen. Do it tonight.

Tony Abreu + Clayton Kershaw for Jose Contreras. You drive a hard bargain but I'll take it.

The Dodger affiliates radio said Kershaw isn't hurt, but the organization wanted him to not get too many innings.
