QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 12:28 PM) Didn't JR say nobody can wear #1 until Rose is done with the Bulls, or some dumb excuse like that? I doubt it. He didn't have a problem with Ventura wearing #23, eh?

Fister had a pretty crazy K:BB ratio this year in AAA.

Uighur is a funny word.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 11:57 AM) he better be in tonight. hes had plenty of time to catch a flight to seattle. He's supposed to be in this afternoon, but they may hold him out because of the long flight from NY. I personally hope they are just going to give him the option and he'll say that he's fine to play today.

Which "they" are switching? Chew on that one.

Oh, you were talking about Sizemore so I thought you were comparing him to the league at large. I think I prefer Pods or Beckham leading off, but you could make a case for Rios if you're just talking about Sox players.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 09:54 AM) I thought I read somewhere that he wouldn't play until tomorrow. Why that is I don't know. Apparently because of the long flight? http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/20...36143/index.xml I hope he plays tonight--flight be damned.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 09:59 AM) I looked at the stats of Grady Sizemore compared to Rios and while Sizemore is the better power hitter I think Rios is the better defender and makes better contact....this trade really is a good move considering what the options were going forward. Rios is as good a lead-off candidate as anyone his career OBP is .335. Does not compute.

It means he wants somewhere to live when he's home. 1.7 million is not a lot for a guy with a max contract.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 09:50 AM) So when is Rios joining the team and/or starting a game? He's supposed to be in Seattle today. I assume they will start him.

Q's OPS almost up to .800 on the year.

3-0 count to Beckham.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 10:38 PM) What's the situation? Game day froze up for me. Was 2 out with Franklin G. on 1st. 3-2 Mariners. Then Floyd threw a curve, not a great one but it was down the pipe, and induces a groundout/FC to third.

Any time Floyd wants to break out his curve is ok with me. Of course he throws one (outside) while I'm typing this.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 06:50 PM) I hope this wasn't a Randy Meyers type wavier claim... not that Rios wont ever be able to play for us, but rather that KW didn't really want him and got him (and his salary) because he didnt want to see him in Detroit. Rios has reportedly been one of Kenny's targets for a while. A big no on that one.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 06:43 PM) wtf Pretty sure that's suppose to be a joke...Daily Show type of thing.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 04:14 PM) The talk in Toronto is that the two teams have been in talks and that the Jays are trying to work out a deal. CJ Retheford name was brought up by the Jays beat-writer as a guy Toronto likes. We'll see what happens. It seems like Retherford would work well for both teams in that he's got a chance to contribute at the big league level, but his loss isn't likely to muck up the Sox' long term plans.

Jake Peavy is intrigued by those BABIP numbers.

If I didn't know better, I'd say that Ozzie looked at some split stats/read a scouting report before filling out the lineup card.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Aug 9, 2009 -> 10:40 AM) How many games had Longoria played before signing that contract? I am sure the Sox would be all for that, but I am not sure Beckham would do it. Longoria has to be regretting it now. 7 or so.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 9, 2009 -> 07:05 AM) Why would the Sox get rid of arguably their best hitter if they are in a pennant race? They wouldn't. They won't. $15.

My wife is really mad that they didn't plunk somebody. She wants blood.

Dye is not being traded. I will give the OP no less than $15 if Dye is traded for Rios. It's not happening.

Bobby hucked it up at 96 on the first pitch.
