Ramirez with a single and SB.

Let's get some RUNS.

Heads; Don't try to jinx him or anything ;-)

For anyone that cares and doesn't visit the FutureSox forum (you should because its awesome) Beckham is playing 3B tonight in the first game of Birmingham's double header.

Pods LF Nix 2B JD RF PK 1B AJ C CQ DH Alexei SS BA CF Fields 3B Floyd P

I think they main difference between the beginning of last year and this year is that we were really good at home last year.

QUOTE (danman31 @ May 22, 2009 -> 01:52 AM) I want it noted that I read the topic and then voted Anderson thinking you wanted to know who my CF of choice was. That's Brian so I voted for him. Low and behold the topic title and the question are opposites and now Brian has a vote he shouldn't. Yup I realized what I did there. ME = FAIL at making threads.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ May 22, 2009 -> 12:55 AM) Did you just say take your mind off the Peavy trade with this garbage. Ill take the 4th choice, LILLIBRIDGE!!!! You out of everyone knew this trade isn't happening. AND I just voted for your dog, so there. Notice the question asks who do you want GONE.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 22, 2009 -> 12:55 AM) BA is the only answer if he's healthy. I agree I want the outfield of CQ / BA / JD Do we keep Pods as a back up, pinch runner (hes gotten picked off in 3 straight games) and say bye to Wise?

To take your mind off Peavy trade and the humiliation of a loss from yesterday... DeWise is bound to return and now we have one to many outfielders. There's an option of sending down Fields and plugging Nix/Betemit at third while keeping all three on the roster. (Not sure how we feel about Betemit's glove at this point) STATS: SPLITS G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS AVG OBP SLG OPS DeWayne Wise: Season 7 21 0 5 0 0 0 0 0 6 0 1 .238 .238 .238 .476 Scott Podsednik: Season 16 60 4 16 2 1 0 2 3 4 3 2 .267 .297 .333 .630 Brian Anderson: Season 21 64 7 18 2 0 0 4 8 16 2 3 .281 .361 .313 .674 I realize questions might come up, ie: if Pods is sent down who leads off with Getz struggling lately? Or who should be the starting CF or should we platoon? Feel free to give your opinion in the thread. It seems like it will come down to Wise or Pods, more on this here: Here is a Merkin article on what Ozzie said/did not say about this coming up issue.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2009 -> 11:46 PM) There is so much bulls*** coming out of Axelrod's mouth right now. Financial decisions were definitely discussed. Saying that tomorrow, he might change his mind, is pretty lame. http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune....agent-says.html Both Kenny and Axelrod are not trying to burn bridges I guess?

Is there a reason Mariano Riviera didn't get credited for the save on ESPN fantasy leagues?

I really hope this fiasco doesn't mess with Richard's and Poreda's mind.

I have a feeling he ends up with the Cubs before deadline. Thanks for the effort Kenny, always trying to compete and that's good, let's do something about the s*** team I had to watch today play the Twins.

He just rejected it, close thread, screw Peavy he has no balls.

ESPNChicago.com: Peavy told reporters he rejects the trade

I don't understand why is he waiting to confirm about the rejection, just do it already.

Do we know who the prospects were? Other than CR/AP

I so went to the game... I left off on page 50 something, what's the latest news?

This is all over ESPN, MLB.COM etc saying the deal is done, I'm sorry but I dont believe there is no deal.
