QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 08:52 PM) Could be that. Or sometimes little kids latch on to certain ballplayers regardless of how good/popular they are... no kidding, I'm sure the 5 year old is not crying because of sabremetrics,..

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 08:24 PM) - 98% of Soxtalk 4 weeks ago It still might be the case, so enjoy it while it lasts.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 06:24 PM) Whens our next game now? That's a clown question, bro.

QUOTE (MuckFinnesota @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:48 PM) Wait are we paying $5.5 of his salary? Chris Rongey just said so. RED SOX are.

Rogers; Ken Williams on trading for Kevin Youkilis: "We just felt at this time it was necessary, necessary to do it at this point, sooner rather than later.'' Williams says Youkilis was excited about the trade when he spoke to him. Said Williams: "I can't say exactly what he said. He wants to prove some people wrong ... He said he hasn't felt this good in a long time ... He has a little edge to him. I'm excited to have him on our ballclub.'' The Red Sox agreed to pay most of Youkilis' remaining salary in exchange for Zach Stewart and Brent Lillibridge, who they hope can contribute to their push to get to the playoffs.

Sox have to pay $2M in Youks salary, BoSox pick up rest.

Heyman confirms it's Lillibridge and Stewart.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:15 PM) If it is Lilli, how do you not tell your manager not to play him and risk getting him hurt? That is awful. Didn't Youkilis play today and everyone knew he was gonna be traded? Same logic

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:03 PM) Not looking forward to short-bus Youkilis nicknames. KY Jelley!

If doc says it's LIllibridge then it's Lillibridge.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 03:58 PM) Good guess So long Lilly!

For utility player and pitcher? Stewart and Escobar?

So Zach Stewart scratched..

Jake, sorry for the delayed response, great info on the ketogenic diet. I would be interested in the ebook you mentioned.

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 02:03 AM) I've read 2 rumors.... Youk traded to white sox with cash for thornton and PTBNL or Youk, Albers, and Lars Andersen for Gavin Floyd and Matt Thornton Wanna give up source? I think you're reading the bosoxinjection.com piece, guy is clueless..

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 01:44 AM) I have no nostalgia for the 1917 throwback uniforms which the Sox used to wear. Contrary to what some may believe I wasn't around back then, but i liked them a lot. I like the negro league throwback uniforms too. I just think it's pretty cool for baseball to pay homage to the past. Big Ed we need you to post more!

I'm hearing Red Sox really want to do this before tomorrow's game.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 11:46 PM) How did Axelrod look? Like a 5th starter, kept the team in the ball game.

Rosenthal -- Source: #RedSox talks with #WhiteSox over Youkilis more advanced than with other clubs, could be approaching final stages Deal between #RedSox and #WhiteSox not a certainty. Youkilis' past physical issues will make exchange of medical records critical.

How is Omogrosso doing in the minors?

QUOTE (IowanSoxFan @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 10:52 PM) Sooo what are the chances that this happens tonight? 50/50 Either it happens or it does not. Sorry, I had to.

Keep in mind his brother tweets are almost 4 hours long. A lot could have changed in between then and now.

QUOTE (wsgdf_2 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 10:43 PM) Youk's brother: https://twitter.com/#!/chefyouk "Love that #teamyouk may be changing sox real soon. #Chicago is better town anyways!" Good find!

Merkin just retweeted Pete Abe's tweet. I'm sure Sox are in on him.
