Indians are close to getting Fukudome.

Cooper just said the Jackson/Hudson trade worked out for the Sox. He thinks their numbers are similar. Yeah, no they're not. And if you factor team control and a 20-year-old lefty named Holmberg also in the move, no, the trade did not work out for the Sox.

They've played 103 games. They're under .500 at home They're under .500 vs the division They haven't had a 5 game winning streak all year They have Boston and New York coming to town, followed by road series in Minnesota and Baltimore---which have historically been hard places to win for the Sox. So, if they keep Quentin, they better find a way to win the division. Effort doesn't count. Only results count. My fear is they stand pat, then go 5-9 the next 14 games and wish they would have done more at the deadline.

Frasor was on CTL tonight. Sounds like a genuine fellow. Grew up a Cubs fan, but is excited to be with the Sox, back home, and can't wait to be in his first pennant race. I hope he gets his wish on that last part.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 12:05 PM) Colby Rasmus, Trever Miller, Brian Tallet and P.J. Walters for Jackson, Marc Rzepczynski, Dotel and Corey Patterson. Zoinks. Ok.....

The Score will have the Kenny tape on the air in a few minutes.

I tip my cap to "k0na". Never again will I doubt what this guy has to say. So who is the prospect?

Just checked the whitesox.com board, and the original tweeter seems to have a good track record on getting trade info. http://www.forums.mlb.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx...&tid=115142 If it happens tomorrow, I'll tip my cap. But common sense says Edwin Jackson doesn't stay with Toronto past Sunday.

A win tonight would have gone a long way. Now there's a part of me that wants them to wake up Saturday morning 7 games out, just to see what would happen the rest of the weekend.

If this trade happened or was happening, they would have announced it after the game. It's bulls***.

I saw one tweet on this, and it's only one tweet, so... http://twitter.com/#!/k0na/status/96057735715635200 Is this somebody here, or is this the source? I don't understand why the Blue Jays would want Jackson unless they are flipping him to a different team. Makes no sense.

QUOTE (bulokis @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 10:20 PM) Why did KW sign Ohman for 2 years for 4 mil? He's been fine recently. This game is so much more on Big Mouth Peavy.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 06:13 PM) So if the Sox win 2 out of 3, KW is a buyer and if they lose 2 out of 3 he's a seller? If the Sox somehow manage to win the division would this have been the most unenjoyable division winning season in history? If the Sox end up winning the division, it will mean they had a good August and September. By the time they get down to the end of the season, meaningful games the last two weeks will make the pain of the first half go away. But they have to make the playoffs.

We're forced to be in. 61 games left. 3 back in the loss column. Win games.

I can't wait til Sunday at 3. I'm already sick of rumors and reading into things. Just win games between now and then. Or don't.

Hudson has now played a season's worth of games with the Diamondbacks. Let's review how he did! 32 starts--team record 21-11 25 quality starts--yes, 25 17-7, 2.99 ERA 220 innings 192 hits 47 bb 179 K 1.086 WHIP He'll be under team control for 5 more years. Have a nice day.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 02:51 AM) Didn't see Breaking Bad tonight, but my parents said it was awful. Barely watchable. It was what I call a "set up" episode. It's setting the tone for what this season will be... Jesse fighting his demons. Will Walt get to Gus? Will they be able to get the car wash, or what will they do to launder their money? What will happen with Hank and Marie? It wasn't a memorable episode, but it's setting up the story lines for the next 11 episodes.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 11:59 AM) My concern with that scenario is we annoit a minor league player our set up man after seeing him for 2 games. Mnay were convinced Josh Field was the new Joe Crede too Fair enough, but I like Santiago's arm, and i'm ready to see what he can do the rest of the season, win or lose.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 11:52 AM) Remember, we do have 6 starting pitchers this year. And Thornton really hasn't been Thornton this year anyways. Once they moved Thornton back to setup, he pretty much has been himself. Still, with the remaining years on his contract, I'd dump that in the right deal and look to fill the lefty setup role in-house with Santiago. It's too bad Leesman hasn't developed into that role by now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 11:20 AM) Because they think Rasmus is overhyped and they hate his attitude and other character concerns. Tony LaRussa can do that to some people, especially young players. Maybe a fresh start is what Rasmus needs.

Viciedo has a sore thumb. I don't think he's part of any deal. Thornton and Jackson for Rasmus? Yes, I'd do that.

Do it.
