QUOTE (Bhay99 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 11:24 PM) stolen base, broken bat single, game over. knowing this team, they would tie it up in the bottom of the inning just to f*** with us

f***

LETS GET SOME RUNS!!!

it's time for dunn to get his head out of his ass. if he does, he'll more than make up for aj's production. if he doesn't, we wouldn't have caught up to detroit anyways

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 12:23 AM) scottmerkin Scott Merkin In the next two weeks, it looks as if the White Sox will face Jimenez, Masterson, Ogando, Santana, Weaver and Hernandez at least its not bruce chen

...and rios is back

More hits or errors at the end of this game?

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 08:21 PM) I know Rios has been swinging a hot bat lately, but I really wish he was bunting there. As good as our bullpen has been, we only need one run. Do you really trust Dunn to get him in?

Phil!!

can i get the thing below my name to say what it would normally say instead of "formerly soxfandude"?

i like this new team

if danks has a good season next year he could probably get 16-18 mil/year on the open market so if he really is only looking for "mark buehrle money" we would be smart to take it

It's sad that Rios only changed his approach after Ozzie benched him for 2 games when he has sucked dick for 4 months

Hard to believe moving his hands a little made this big of a difference. Makes you think its mostly mental. Rios looks confident up there now

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 07:43 PM) Like I said, hold off until he finishes any higher than fourth in his division. Agreed. While all of these look great on paper, we're still dealing with unknowns here. The only move that we can safely say has helped their team at this point has been unloading Wells' contract. A GM should be judged on the performance of the team so can we please wait until the Jays make the playoffs and some of these prospects pan out before anointing this man "the best GM in baseball?" I know they're in a incredibly tough division but we saw with the Rays that it's entirely possible to compete in if not win the AL East with good young talent. Also, regarding the Wells trade, I would say that AA just got lucky with that one. Anybody in his situation would try to trade the guy given his contract and lack of production, and AA just found someone stupid enough to take on the entire contract and even send back a couple of mediocre prospects. KW is definitely dangling Rios out there and will trade him for almost anything if it means the other team taking on the entire contract. That doesn't make him a great GM, just not f***ing stupid.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 03:05 PM) The way the Sox are playing now....I can see us in first place by the end of August. lets get to .500 first

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 02:57 PM) The twins are bad. A month ago I thought they had a real shot at this division. the entire division is bad

QUOTE (Lillian @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 10:23 PM) Well, I suspect de Aza will be the lead off hitter next year, replacing Pierre. I sure hope so, at least vs. RHP. He can do a lot more things than Juan. i don't see why people keep ripping pierre as much as they do. he has at the very least been serviceable and is probably our fourth best hitter at this point (although thats not saying much). hell, he has the third highest obp on the team. and while his defense isn't great, it's definitely not horrendous either. this is not saying i would want him back next year though

how does stewart look so far?

no such thing as bad publicity right?

this is the third time that the sox have scored 7 or more runs since june 10th and we havent had a 10 run game since may f*** greg walker

QUOTE (Real @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:27 PM) I'd put money on a few guys being dumped on waivers too bad kenny is the only gm stupid enough to take rios

QUOTE (WHITESOXRANDY @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 10:00 PM) My sources tell me that several teams are interested in Alex Rios right now and are willing to send the Sox two lesser prospects with the Sox absorbing 110 % of Rios' contract. Get on it KW!

his OBP is .307 right now so even if he reaches .270 BA by the end of the year, his OBP will probably be closer to .340 than .370

thornton looks really good
