Most of the team dropped the ball this game - just like they have all season. It's not a matter of sparing Rios - more so than it is calling out people who actually played worse, this game. This team is a flipping mess - it wouldn't surprise me if they finished 13 out and behind the twins. Oddly enough, it also wouldn't surprise me to see them do exactly what they have and continue c*c* teasing us into September to a 5 game out 3rd place finish. I'd be shocked if they won this division. Even thou they went 8 - 4 after the all-star break - I still wasn't ready to say whether or not I was still in or out. Now it's easy, I'm all out. No wonder I wanted them to sell on every bleeping player they had who held value at the break. Carlos Konerko Danks Mark Floyd Thornton Ohman Crain They should have sold em all and just sucked hardcore until the Rios and Peavy contracts came off the books. At least for those years of suck-a-tude, they'd have players in the minors getting prepared for a turn around when the books where clean again. Then sign some players and go for it. It'll take these next 3 against the Yanks and 2 of 3 subsequent losses by CLE and DET for me to have the faintest of hopes.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 02:01 AM) Supposedly, Viciedo might finally play today. Yesterday was on off/travel day for the Knights. Thanks for the info - this is what I was interested in. I'll be updating this thread with his stats and any relevant news regarding The Tank.

This pretty much sums it up: The White Sox are 8-7 since the All-Star break White Sox starters have a 2.46 ERA with 12 quality starts during this time. Ozzie and Walker should be long gone by now.

Since the last thread regarding Dayan has been buried - I figured it was time to bring some new life to the topic. How is his thumb doing? Looks like he still hasn't been playing. Can't find any other info thou. What's the latest on him? We need his bat.

If Paulie was playing today and was healthy - I be we would have won. Where is Viciedo anyhow?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 05:05 PM) I say ditch tthem both. Let guillen and his genetic material grace south beach with their class and moxy. Turn the GM job over to Hahn and get a manager who has a plan. +1 After this year - I've moved into this camp. It's time for a LOT of changes. If the team turns it around - keep KW and let Ozzie go... because if the team does do well - it sure won't be for any genius managerial tactics by OG.

QUOTE (Real @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 02:30 AM) same, not defending Rios as a Sox player, but information is out there regarding this video what does that information say?

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 03:18 PM) One video sums up Rios: Now that's where you draw the line. What a disgusting human being - he's lucky that my kid wasn't there. It could have got real ugly.

Status looks good to me. Love ya Frank! BIG HURT IN THE HALL NEXT!

Ozzie should have been fired on the spot after saying this. Your boss tells you to follow a guideline ( bench rios ) - then over the next 4 games, he plays in half of them. Inexcusable.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 11:03 PM) maybe thats why the Sox are hesitant to deal Quentin cuz of Viciedo's injury, if the Rios deal is pretty much complete according to that guy, they wouldn't have any1 to replace RF besides Lillibridge. I think that this being complete BS is more likely. ;D

QUOTE (heirdog @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 10:32 PM) How could he be? He's already going in the Gamel trade according to the highly respected, Mr. fantasy expert

QUOTE (heirdog @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 10:29 PM) The attendance discussion in a trade winds thread is annoying. You come on after a LNG break and see 12+ pgs to the Q thread...but then the disappointment with some nonsense discussion on attendance figures. If the tread title trades - then you won't be disappointed.

Hysterical

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 09:37 PM) No there has not. Those rumors were for Pence, not Quentin and they are rumors so you don't really even know if they are true. A lot of the stuff you read even by respected reporters is BS.

Edit: Looks like Thornton isn't plan B...

QUOTE (gatnom @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 09:25 PM) The question then becomes, does trading Quentin for an absolutely amazing package constitute as pulling the plug? No.

QUOTE (MAX @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 08:09 PM) Yeah, and he spends most of his time posting at soxtalk. Dur dur dur.
