QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 10:23 PM) I had both Matt Kemp and Alexei both batting on my fantasy team at the same time. I'm thinking, I know Kemp is going to be the one to go yard here, even though I need it to be Alexei... Sure enough, Kemp goes f***ing yard, 3 run bomb. Thinking, I knew it... Then Alexei goes yard too! Finally! OMGZZZ FANTASY YO!

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 10:22 PM) I'm not being sarcastic, I'm asking a serious question. What's with the hostility? The problem isn't Walker. These guys know what they can do and can't do by now. Figure it out, team.

Double-Ardsma?

HELL YES ALEXEI QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 10:19 PM) SERIOUSLY, doesn't Walker EVER relay info/good advice to the hitters??? I'm not blaming Walker, so I don't need your sarcasm.

When will these guys learn that when you try to hit it to the moon, you're wasting your time. That's a good 1,261,164,960 feet from here, which last time I checked, is impossible. So keep your f***ing heads in there, and hit the f***ing ball.

White Sox motto: "Stretch...stretch... catches it right in front of the fence...dadgummit!"

Danks with a ballsy effort only for a s*** offensive effort. Seriously?

I'll be at all 8 home games + the game in Seattle.

I have an idea. Be prepared to rip it to pieces. Let Thome, Dye, and Pods walk. Trade for Casey Kotchman and stick him at 1B, move PK to DH, and have an OF of Figgins/Rios/Quentin (in whatever order). Figgins LF/CF Rios LF/CF Beckham 3B Kotchman 1B Konerko 1B Pierzynski C Quentin RF Ramirez SS Getz 2B Or like fathom said, trade for Pierre, though I'm not too fond of his huge deal.

QUOTE (GordoTheGreat @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 11:49 PM) How about number 1? I know, it's corny. Didn't JR say nobody can wear #1 until Rose is done with the Bulls, or some dumb excuse like that?

Danks @ Fister. Win.

QUOTE (earthshiner @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 11:19 PM) 2 is retired and I think that only Ricky Seilheimer has worn 6 since Jorge Orta. so that seems like a long shot. I was kidding about 2, should've put that in green. I said 2 because of all the Jeter comparisons around here. Who cares? Give the man 6. It's not retired, and I can't think of a better man to wear it.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 12:23 AM) He didn't look bad tonight. Got a hit, drew a walk, and scored a run, didn't he? No, but 4 for his last 21 isn't too good. Luckily, like you said, he's been drawing walks (and a HBP I believe).

QUOTE (SockMe @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 11:00 PM) im still confident as we face pitchers we've seen b4, just please no more rookies We see a guy tomorrow who has pitched 1 inning this year.

If he changes it, I want to see him wear 2, 6, or 80.

QUOTE (wilmot825 @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 11:54 PM) Can I have 2 minutes back in my life for reading this story...I now feel dumber for being subjected to that. Wow. Really? Anyways, back on topic. When I go to Cubs/Sox games, which I try to stay away from, most Cubs fans just jack around. It's not a stereotype, it's the truth.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 11:53 PM) These guys need to start winning games soon, as that awful road trip is just around the corner and the pitching staff has fallen on hard times. Want to know the sad part? We play well against the better teams. Knowing us, we'll win 2 in NY, 2 in BOS, and 1 (okay, none) in MIN.

Beckham is 4 for his last 21, by the way. Seeing as if how he's been our MVP, he deserves a break here and there.

3-1 pitches right down the middle to Grady Sizemore tend to go far.

If the Sox trade Beckham, I'd find KW and hurt him. The next best thing we can do is trade Flowers. I'm pretty sure Toronto doesn't have any stud young C's down on the farm, so...

5-3, 4.24 ERA.

Tony Pena to Chicago.

Flowers + Poreda + Richard + Getz would do the trick, I'm guessing. I know Flowers is the next Johnny Bench by reading some of these posts around here, but we just drafted Peghley, and while he might not stick as a catcher, the same was said about Flowers a year ago. Halladay is a freak out there and he along with Buehrle-Floyd-Danks makes us an instant contender. From there, we trade a solid prospect for Cristian Guzman or Felipe Lopez to replace Getz. BTW- I can't stand David Kaplan. He's such a Cub-homer. "If I'm the Sox, I trade Beckham and Poreda for Halladay". Shut up, you dope. That's because you don't want to see Beckham slam line-drives off the wall to beat the Cubs anymore.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Jul 6, 2009 -> 04:43 PM) As a former Texas resident I have to say this...you don't know heat. As someone who spent 3 days in KC last year for a Sox series and sat in 110 heat index everyday, as someone who spent 3 days in Cincinnati this year for a Sox series with a 100 heat index everyday, and as someone who has been to Vegas in July three times for a week each time....I know heat.
