QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 10:59 PM) This might well be the most ridiculous thread I've seen in a while. The Royals wouldn't trade Greinke without getting a monster package in return and almost certainly not within the division, Nick Masset isn't that good (straight fastball, mediocre curve, and not much else) and team's realize that; Texas would be interested in him because he throws hard, has major league experience, and he might be cheap, and he has virtually no value whatsoever, so anybody thinking the Sox would get anything great for him is fooling themself. Personally, I don't see the value in trading Nick Masset straight up for someone...if anything, he should be a throw-in to finish a deal. He does??

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 10:39 PM) The Cubs are making a statement @ Milwaukee The only thing- the Cubs play alot of away games in September and if Milwaukee can win tomorrow, they'd only be 3 up. However, if the Cubs win tomorrow, it's over, IMO.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 09:34 PM) Thanks, where you hear that one from, and how does the whole trading of picks work, I thought picks couldnt be traded. If they can, it just never happens. He means it as when Florida doesn't pony up the cash to Manny in the offseason to re-sign him, they'll get those picks. Just like how Milwaukee will in the end have 5 first round/sandwhich picks next year after losing Sabathia, and how the Sox will get 2 for losing OC. EDIT- Beat me to it.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 09:06 PM) Thats a retarded deal for the Marlins. IMO- if Manny acts like he wants to play in Florida unlike in Boston, that would make Florida the favorites to win the NLE, barring any trades made by Philadelphia or NY.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 10:00 PM) Buster Olney just said the Sox offered Orlando Cabrera to the A's for Street. I dont know who else has posted that but interesting. For the Manny trade, the Pirates got raped, unless that prospect they got from the Red Sox is SS Jed Lowrie, and I dont know who they would get from the Marlins. First off- I didn't hear him say it was offered. Secondly- The Manny trade isn't official yet, settle down.

Did anybody else lip read what AJ said when PK got his single?- "Get the ball."

Come on Bobby. End it here, buddy.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 04:30 PM) would like to have seen wise get the start tonight. Hernandez is 8-1 @ the dome with a 3.91 ERA Gavin is 3-4 on the road with a 5.29 ERA I hate you for downing my spirits an hour plus before the game.

Thank the lord above.

If we can't score 7+ runs off Livan alone, we don't deserve to win.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 01:21 AM) White Sox Opening Night Video On Espn via Noolmusic.com That just makes me feel good, so there. I posted that in the catch-all Sox thread like 3 days ago.

Thoughts??

I wonder if we could deal Gordon and Hinrich to NY for David Lee...

That is good news for us on Casilla. We needed a break like this.

mlbtraderumors.com Take it for what it's worth.

Huge deal for Houston. Makes them a top 5 seed in the West if Yao and McG are healthy. The Maloofs don't like the R word, but I have to use it- r...reb...rebuil...rebuild.

Ozzie will probably say he kept Richard in to hopefully get him a W, but that wasn't the time for it. Instead of possibly going 2.5 up, he left in Richard. We're in the middle of a division and a pennant race- not the time to be sticking with guys. BTW- What is Dye, 1-7 in the last 2 games? Has Q gotten a hit all series?

Too much money. Has a good year, they don't give him 5-50, has a down year, and they give him 6-72 or 6-70 or whatever it is. But, what are you going to do? Hopefully they can re-sign then trade Gordon now with Kirk hopefully.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 09:06 PM) I expected the Sox to split this series. They still are able to do that. Do it. True. If we can't bomb Hernandez, we don't deserve 1st place.

Hand 'em the NLC.

QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 09:58 PM) i think he likes it... We've now lost 2 in a row. I wasn't pessimistic at all after our 2 previous L's.

He got a hit today. He's baaaack.

QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 09:57 PM) Dont blame ozzie... blame the white sox That is true. Scoring 5 runs in 2 games in the Metrodome isn't going to get the job done, either.

Why Ozzie kept Richard in for Morneau instead of bringing in Thornton is beside me.
