Strange lineup.. pods sucks in cf.. it seems like ozzie wants to lose. maybe he'll bring linebrink in a 1 run game tonight.

I'll be rooting for the Dodgers again in the playoffs.. and not for taking the cubs out.

CONTRERAS TO ROCKIES!!! THOME TO LA DODGERS?!?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 11:06 PM) Anyone who advocates releasing either one has zero clue about baseball or how business is done, or about showing any damn class/respect as an organization. 20+ LOSSES. Tigers, Jays, RedSox have all done it. They have no place on the team. Bad contract for bad aged talent. They can't keep DLing these guys to get them in the minors. Add Colon to that list to. Even if Sox won half those games, they would be over .500 now and in a pennant chase.

I hope KW mans up and cuts Contreras, Linebrink. Those 2 have lost over 20 games for this team.. (in the past 2 months)

Seems like we traded Rios for Thome.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 10:41 PM) What did the sox get back.. is the million dollar question? Someone should change the title soon too. I bet a low low prospect or 2. less than we gave for griffey for sure.

Thome was definetly one of my favorites since big Frank..

He Gone. # Take care big guy ... you were as first class as first class gets.half a minute ago from web # Guess is the Jim Thome Era has come to an end.less than a minute ago from web

i wonder if its the tigers.. they got a dh? i read they had scouts there tonight. the would be f'd up.

Last 30 days.. Beckham .222 Dye .186 CQ .244 (.144 last 7 games), Rios .192, Konerko .244, Thome .250, rest of starters .250+.. Linebrink 8.49, Williams 8.60, Conteras 7.66, Buerhle 5.44, Pena 3.97, Dotel 4.91, everyone else under 3.60era.

I thought the Cubs were playing bad... hell even the nationals were playing bad.. and I thaught the Pirates were the s***tiest team.. this team is poethetic in comparison to them.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 09:25 PM) If Scott Podsednik is the Sox DH next year than Kenny failed miserably. That would be absolutely pathetic. What if he got Abreau.. Quentin/Rios/Abreau Pods DH. Doesn't sound like a fail to me. If you move Konerko there's plenty of good hitting 1b out there.

I bet they would have to pay Linebrinks whole contract and then some to get rid of him at this point.. also read thome/dye have combined 4 rbi's in last 2 weeks.. talk about selling low if you trade them.

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 09:16 PM) Keep Pods? He could DH/lead off and play some OF.. he's done a good job this year at the plate.. the pickoffs/defense have been bad though. it's nice having a leadoff man who could steal a base and get on base.. too bad the guys in front of him cant hit.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 09:14 PM) It might be hard to put a Paulie deal together so fast, but I think he'll be gone, along with THome and Dye. Sox are going to change there veteran presence in the lineup and my guess is AJP will be the new captain. AJP would be a awesome captain.. atleast we'd have some more fire in this team. i can't stand konerko's post game interviews with his cheesy answers on why they lose.. dye looks miserable/tired out there and Thome's age is really starting to catch up to his bat/body it seems.

a 1-10 road trip wouldn't surprise me. i'm finally going to admit this team looks dead, tired, and pissed off.

Konerko is the only one with value they can really deal for a return.. and i wouldn't mind it if we got rid of his contract. bring back thome next year and let dye go. sign a stud 1b/or LF and have Kotsay/Pods fill in.

I like him and all but don't think alot of players care for him. It's one of the reasons we can't sign free agents, and have cut/gave up talent for nothing. I think a whole new coaching staff is needed or atleast hitting coach/manager because it seems like a lot of guys on the team have given up.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 02:45 PM) Cooper did a terrible job with MacDougal. The Washington pitching coach has told him to throw 90 pct fastballs compared to sliders, and his heater is up to 97 mph now. Same goes with Aardsma, who throws 3 mph faster now than he did with the Sox. I always thought Macdougal had electric stuff.. I remember he was lights out his first year here. The Sox just gave up on him though.. another terrible move.

Nick Masset: 2.81 ERA 57.2 IP Mike Macdougal: 1.98 ERA 36 IP David Aardsma: 2.26 ERA 31 Saves I would like them back.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 02:36 PM) KW really doesn't have a lot to show right now for his moves the last two years. He's very overrated.. his moves lately/lack of moves this offseason make little sense.

Only Williams/Linebrink can give up 5er in 2/3 inning... Linebrink makes me want to puke.. he is done... I can't believe how bad this teams gotten the past few weeks.

Randy Williams.. then Linebrink in a 3-2 game. They must be going for a good draft pick.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 01:14 PM) Looked like Gordo had a beat on that the whole way, wonder what happened... He doesn't want Alexai/Nix/Pods to look bad.
