QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 09:19 AM) My buddy said rumor on realgm is 3 way with Utah and GS. GS gets Deng, Utah gets Beidrins and picks(presumably Bulls this year and future plus from GS), Bulls get Dorell Wright, 7th pick and Devin Harris Wright, Harris, and 7th pick...I'll definitely take that for Deng, who might even be able to play until December/January if he has surgery.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 09:05 AM) In Liriano's last 5 starts, he has faced the 24th, 25th, 27th, 11th, & 29th ranked offenses. Sox are currently 7th. Yeah, I just looked at his gamelog, he really didn't face any good offensive teams... But still, the fact that he is pitching well is a bad sign. We all know how good Liriano can be.

Liriano's been ridiculously good lately. He's got a 3.33 ERA in June to go along with a 2.93 FIP. He's striking out over 9 per 9 again and he's keeping his walks down. Jake needs to be on his game.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 12:48 AM) ^^that's why I got the update a few days after I b****ed about it though. Android 4 kicks ass. 4.0 will be outdated in about two weeks. 4.1 will be announced this week and it'll be released on the GSM Galaxy Nexus in a month or two. Google really needs to tell the OEM manufacturers to stop f***ing with their OS by putting TouchWiz, Sense, etc. on it. All it does is slow the system down and increase fragmentation. It'd be alright if those companies weren't slow as s*** at putting that extra UI on the OS, but that's not the case. If Google really wants to get rid of fragmentation once and for all, they need to release a vanilla OS for almost every major device. The people at Cyanogenmod and AOKP do this, there's no reason Google can't work with the manufacturers and make it happen.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 07:18 PM) Nah, f*** that guy. It's not like Ozzie Guillen ever had any class to begin with. He told the fans to go f*** themselves if they don't like his lineups.

The Marlins, according to expected W-L and Coolstandings.com...are projected to finish 70-92. Ouch. Honestly, if the Marlins really do that poorly, this might be one of the worst coached seasons in the past decade. That team has Stanton, Reyes, Hanley, Johnson (he's actually healthy), Sanchez, Nolasco, and Buehrle, yet they have the second worst run differential in all of baseball.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 06:38 PM) Speaking of that, I think Dunn, Konerko, Peavy, and Sale will all be going to KC. When is the last time the Sox had 4 All-Stars? Every year they get 1 in and they're scrapping to get a 2nd in, it seems. I think we really only have 3. Ortiz is going to be the DH. Unless Dunn has like 30 HR at the break, it's doubtful he goes.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 06:20 PM) I prefer to use Fangraphs WAR, and I think most people would agree. Yeah, I'd say the same. FanGraphs doesn't like our pitching as much since Peavy and Quintana's FIPs aren't nearly as good as their ERAs.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 03:39 PM) Well, Linkin Park did go back to what made them successful. The new album is fun as hell. Glad to see this forum isn't full of LP haters who think they still make music for depressed teenagers. The new album is their best since Meteora. It's a good combination their early 2000s stuff and their experimental stuff from the past 5 years.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 02:40 PM) I'm running Kaspersky and it's due for renewal tomorrow. Is that Microsoft prgram worth a damn? I've never used it, but many have said it's pretty good, especially since it's free. Personally, I use Avast for anti-virus and Malwarebytes to scan for spyware.

One thing to note today...Brian Bruney actually looked pretty good. Control's always been the issue with him, his stuff is pretty decent. If he limits his walks, he'll be a good long man out of the bullpen.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 05:29 PM) Well if U-man replaces Paulie at first then Odawg has to still play third. I do like that there are so many name possibilities for KY ....Hey most reputable drugstores carry KY. OMG dude...stop it, that's going a little too far.

My only complaint about this deal is that it wasn't done sooner. We go on the road for the entire week. Had this trade been made right after the Cubs series, we get Youk for at least 2 games at home. That would have been a nice attendance boost, even though we drew alright the past two games.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 05:23 PM) One weakness filled. What's next, Dempster? Dumpster's hurt.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 05:16 PM) KW has never made a mid-season trade where the player(s) helped send the team into the playoffs that season. Let's hope this is the first. Blum doesn't count haha FWIW, Griffey made a nice throw in the play-in game back in 08.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 05:04 PM) Does Kevin have a Gold Glove? is he decent defensively? We don't have to make any more 25 man roster changes. Kevin U in, BSBridge out. Doesn't Boston want some Fu-Ku? Youk's not good at 3B, but you can play him there without worrying too much.

So the big question now is...will Danks give up his #20 to Youk?

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 05:00 PM) Our return from the Javy trade just went up. So did our return for Edwin Jackson.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:57 PM) Just heard Ventura say Lillibridge has never been traded before...um third time, Robin. Yup...from Pittsburgh to Atlanta, then from Atlanta to the Sox.

QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:42 PM) Gordon is doing well in the #2 spot, I'd hit him 6th, with DV moving to 7th. Alexei should hit 9th from here out unless he turns it around. A.J.'s hitting 6th. 7th or 8th will be fine with me. Dayan's not exactly lighting the world on fire, so I wouldn't oppose moving him down to 8. I think the important thing is that Hudson's finally out of the lineup.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:41 PM) Kenny sure does love his past-their-prime players. Vizquel, Griffey, Hudson, Youkilis Youk was still pretty damn good last year.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:39 PM) SO EXCITED to see Youk in this lineup. Where do you guy put him? After Aj? With the way he's hitting, you'd have to hit him either 7th or 8th. An interesting thought would be to hit him second. He's got the on base skills to thrive in that role.

lol I remember when people (like myself) were okay with trading Q for Youk like a month ago.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:38 PM) SOB gave up 6 hits in 8 innings today. Pretty darn difficult to have any of them be consecutive when you give up 6 hits over 24 outs. You could if you're Javy Vazquez.
