Can we unpin this god awful reminder of a god awful game and make way for the mastery that will be EJax's Debut?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 02:01 AM) Twins tied it up...looks to be battle of bullpens Doo doo poopie dipers. Hopefully the rays win that battle of the bullpens and we touch the tigers pen up for 5! We ca dooooooooo dooo it!!!

Minnisota leaves the bases loaded - 3 - 2 Tampa bay

f*** you Torres. And now so begins - Devil Ray watch version 2.0!! Bottom of the 2nd Tampa Bay up 3 - 1 with a runner on and two outs.

Torres... Can you give us 5 innings and allow 7 runs or less? It's still possible for us to get the offensive attack going and score a lot but f*** man - stop the f***ing bleeding

The uglyness that is Torres makes me miss Harrell

Hey gang... Lately I've been thinking a lot about working for the white sox in their front office. Do any of you have any suggestions as to how I could approch this? Any idea how one gets hired in such a capacity? My background is in marketing communications, Internet development, management, and customer service.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 03:55 AM) Edwin Jackson has potential to throw Sergio Santos-like stuff for 7 innings a night. I even think that is an understatement. =) I'm gitty.

http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=397871&src=162 Oh my, I just keep getting more and more excited about this guy.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:08 AM) How'd the Devil Rays win? They haven't been relevant in years I sure don't know but I do know the twins lost!! Hopefully they get swept and we sweep detorit!!

I know... It's pale hose talk - but with the off day - I'm bored! down to the twins!! Up with the sox!!!

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Aug 2, 2010 -> 09:53 PM) Agreed. I'd bet my buttox there's no way KW would make a waiver trade to get ride of Peavy.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Aug 2, 2010 -> 08:54 PM) I don't think the Sox overpaid for Jackson. I'm in the Hudosn is being overrated side of things. If you told me a year ago that the Sox could have Peavy and Jackson for, basically, Richard and Hudson, I would have said you're nuts. Peavy's injury notwithstanding I think they were both excellent trades for the Sox. It sure would be nice if Peavy comes back in 2011 with no ill effects from his injury. If Jackson can realize his potential as well - then, wow... We'd have four bonifided aces: peavy, danks, Floyd, and Jackson. Mark as a number 5 - rediculious!!

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Aug 2, 2010 -> 07:50 PM) I know that everyone hates the Edwin Jackson deal because of the money, but I'm fascinated by this dude. Not to cherry-pick numbers, but he had an ERA+ of more than 150 heading into September last year (through 26 starts). I can't wait until he makes his Sox debut. Can you give me a run down of the ERA+ statistic

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 2, 2010 -> 09:03 AM) In 217 minor league innings, Hudson had just 56 BB to 256 K. Yeah, he is a control pitcher, regardless of what he did in his first couple starts w/ us this year. He'll be a damn good pitcher for Arizona for many years at a bargin. Also - Rizzo is a bleeping moron for refusing to trade dunn for him. M-O-R-O-N

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 2, 2010 -> 08:25 AM) As much as I really disliked the Jackson trade, and am still not a fan of it, I can't help but salivate at the idea of Coop turning this kid around control wise. Hudson had the control, but he only had decent stuff. Jackson has bad control, but amazing stuff. If Coop can get this guy to throw strikes, he will have a really awesome pitcher on our hands. I guess I saw Hudson as the safe pick, and Jackson as the high risk (contract), but very high reward type guy. Hudson had control? In the three starts I saw with us this year I saw zero control. I did notice though that in his start today with Arizona thar he only had one walk. I really liked Hudsons stuff and his make up - he is a gamer. If Jackson becomes the ace he is capable of being - I will forget Hudsons name

Yea, no new information but that's fine by me. What I've really enjoied is just having a different more personal insight. It's been a great series for me to enjoy

It'll be very interesting to see what the front office says about jackson in the next episode of the club. I don't know if anyone here is as happy as me to have Edwin. I'll also be happy to eat crow if he doesn't pan out... But I've got a great great feeling about him fir this year and 2011

QUOTE (Mattchoo @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 04:30 PM) Ok, I'm as excited as anyone about Dayan. However, please people. Calm down on the over reaction. In my opinion, he is a better offensive Juan Uribe with less defense. If the Brewers called the Sox today and said we'll trade you Fielder for Dayan and two other of our top prospects, you do the deal in a heartbeat. This is all just your opinion... People who are "over reacting" are also just voicing their opinion. Your insinuating that your assesment is fact by telling people to calm down - by saying their over reacting. The point is... You don't know just as well as we don't. All we can see at this point is someone who shows a lot of raw talent and great promise. It's possible he could be no better than Juan uribe. It's also possible he becomes a 40 home run / 100 RBI hitter

I wonder if we see Sale called up after Torres goes down ( should he Torres even come up Tuesday ) Speculation based on speculation ha!

Man... Tank didn't even hit that square and it almost went out of here. Unbelieveable

I hate losing - let's go for another 12 straight at home starting tomorrow. =) And when Tehan comes back - I really hope Kotsay gets DFA - Viciedo needs to be on this team so long as he continues to spank the ball.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 09:14 PM) Jason Goff on the score says Dunn deal not officially off yet WTF? Meaning... *Keep listening to my radio station so I can get better ratings* ?
