QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 01:04 PM) It seems like it'd be kind of hard to have every ref speaks the language of both teams in every game. Still seems like that'd be a good thing though. And if i'm reading this right, the only way you could have the three way tie where you need a lottery is if England beats Algeria 1-0, the U.S. beats Algeria 1-0, and England and Slovenia tie at 2. Because then you couldn't separate the teams in any sort of way. And let me tell you, it won't happen.

QUOTE (dmbjeff @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 10:42 AM) Believe you? Not calling you a liar or anything but how much have you seen him play? Do you get the Birmingham video feed? I saw he had 30 errors which is alot obviously last season but what kind of errors were they? Throwing errors? Fielding the ball errors? How is his range? How is his arm? Does he have the ability to improve? Alot of guys coming up through the minors playing on less than ideal playing conditions put up alot of errors as well. I'd love to see him play there first before we start dubbing him as being worst than Teahen. And Joe Crede had 30+ errors multiple times down in the minors and ended up improving over time. Not saying he will be the next Crede but give the guy some time. I see where you're coming form but the organization has moved him to 1B, for one because of Morel coming up but also because Viciedo was bad at 3rd. Let's face it, he's no defensive wiz, many on this board declared him 1B of the future, and I'm talking about guys who follow the minors on regular basis. Maybe they care to chime in?

Sox are 5-0 this season facing pitchers for the first time!

So Cowley can f*** off after all.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 09:24 AM) This little run certainly has made the Teahen trade and subsequent 3 year contract seem like a good deal now doesn't it. it has?

Ozzie also said Nix will have a chance with the White Sox if he goes to Charlotte, does that mean Viciedo will be sent down when Teahen comes back?

Seems like half of us think it's a 'season is over let's call up prospects' while the other half thinks 'hot hitting viciedo can make us help a run'. Either way everyone is happy.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 11:42 PM) Apart from four walks Marquez put up a good line. Nick Swisher Who? I think the money for Dayan Viciedo also came from Nick Swisher trade so maybe it isn't a lost cause after all.

Damn TBolt baby you beat me to the punch.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 10:21 PM) That makes it even more impressive.....the Pirates were due for a win and we prevented it from happening. Why can't people be happy that we are finally a playoff contending team? Because WE ARE NOT a playoff contending team just because we swept the Pirates.

Where is the guy who said Viciedo will hit more HRs in Sox uniform than Frank Thomas? It starts tomorrow big guy!

Don't get me wrong, I am as excited as the next guy. Just don't wanna go through another G. Beckham horror.

Oz - "I'm going to pick the spot to see who's pitching and the matchup. And I'll wait to see."

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 09:28 PM) They kicked the s*** out of the Pirates. Things have really changed over the last week. I tell ya what, Stone Pony. They got a chance to get some national pub against Stras tomorrow night. I hope they win it. We need Mark to step up big and hold down the surprisingly decent Nationals' offense. Kotsay getting a spot start?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 09:24 PM) Soooo.....no different than our other Cuban. True, more power, but even guys from FutureSox said this is a 'mistake' What happens after Teahen comes back? Who gets cut? Williams/Kotsay/Andruw ?

Aren't the Sox rushing him? He's had an awful ST/April, decent May and hot June.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 09:11 PM) What is the end game? Viciedo can't be coming to sit. Gotta be another move.. He will play 3rd/DH until Teahen is back? What happens after..

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 09:09 PM) Sorry blaze, but I gotta do it. I was just giving you props in the other thread. For me its totally unexpected, anyone else surprised?

Ozzie said he hopes someone picks up Nix as he is out of options.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 09:04 PM) Cowleotti reports what I'm sure most of us assumed hours ago. http://twitter.com/cst_sox Great call man

Gonzales confirms. Nix DFA!

This is the first time White Sox SWEPT a team without hitting a HR since 2005. First time Sox went 5 games without a HR since 2000.
