QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 07:44 PM) Just in case Kenny doesn't get anything and people start to riot. That is fantastic. Any way you can digitally place a cucumber in his mouth?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 07:09 PM) There is hope! Have you ever pooped a pee?

Maybe it's us? =D I bet that we've inquired about just about everyone... seems like Kenny is in super insane mode like never before.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 07:05 PM) Where did you hear Scott to La? The tooth ferry whispered it in my ear after stealing my molar last night.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 07:03 PM) First step...acquire a deep understanding of what FIP is. I'm sure that's true and really is the best first step one could hope to take.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 06:59 PM) What if they offered Dunn + Livan Hernandez for Jackson, Viciedo, and Danks2. Would you do it? I like Jackson, Viciedo, & LaRoche better.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 06:56 PM) Oh, and it means "Fielding Independent Pitching". Any idea how one gets a job working for a MLB club - working for the white sox front office for my entire life makes me want to... uh... smile.

We could have a fun hour coming up. One club says volume of calls is "insane" right now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 06:54 PM) A calculated prediction of what his ERA would be based on how many walks he gives up, balls are put in play, balls are hit in the air, etc. If his FIP is above his ERA, that's generally a single you expect his ERA to go upwards if he repeats the same performance. Very cool.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 06:50 PM) His 5.8 FIP also says hi. What is the FIP statistic?

Looking like Rizzo might have been using KW as a pawn to drive up Dunn's price to other potential suitors. Wouldn't doubt it if he always has had the intention of taking Jackson + prospects... but has just been trying to shoot for the stars ( ala Garza ). Still think he is a ****sucker ( that is cock... not tit or boobie )

The dodgers really seem to be going for it...

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 06:40 PM) But then we're stuck with no pitcher? There would have to be another deal in place - ala Myers. Or they're content throwing fodder out there until they find a 5th on the waiver wire.

ohhhh snap - BLAZE beats me to the punch this time =P AND joecool beats BLAZE.. we're freaks here =)

me - tiiiired. sleeeep = good. white sox baseball = better

Maybe we could trade for Jim Thome. I hear the Twins don't have a chance.

Dodgers get Lilly and The Riot - now it's time to figure out how we can help them get to the playoffs if we want to get Manny. I like the idea of taking Manny but don't think it will happen.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 06:09 PM) you keep repeating this. we know His nick name is, Mr. Pessimism.... It's a pretty good preamble to a pessimistic statement. =)

Who do we have which we could give the Dodgers - that would allow them to get better in their chances for right now? They want to make the playoffs and are making a push to get better. They'd also have some explaining to do from a PR perspective if they traded manny.

QUOTE (Big Daddy Kool @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 06:02 PM) Luke Scott anyone? Sounds like Baltimore is asking for Flowers and Vicedo for Scott and we're saying vomit.

QUOTE (pktmotion @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 05:57 PM) Let's just go back to AZ and say" listen we threw you a huge bone with Hudson, What's it gonna take to get LaRoche""and don't you dare say Viciedo/Beckham/Flowers/Morel". A couple of mid level arms: Torres+Cassell. Wouldn't doubt it at all

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 05:57 PM) I think the chances are good that he could be traded in August. It just makes much more sense for them to wait, unless they are given a very good prospect to encourage them to trade him today. The that. =)

Gammons on MLB Network flat out,
