QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:31 PM) We got 5.5 million in this deal. Totally acceptable by me. Stewart's a sinker baller whose sinkers don't sink. I don't care if he's only been in AAA for like 21 innings. Lilli's expendable. He showed flashes of awesome power last year, but he'll never be a consistent hitter. $5.5 million for those two is an accomplishment.

Jose Quintana is the most interesting man in the world. When he gives up hits, they're not consecutive.

I'm glad we traded Lilli and not Escobar. I can't see Lilli getting the game winning hit there...

We finally won a series!

If Youk is healthy this is a good trade.

Trouble abrewing...

QUOTE (Sockin @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 03:29 PM) Someone on Twitter saying he was traded to the Tigers for Raburn and Young. lol where would they play him?

Looks like Q is starting to get hit a lot harder the second time around.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 01:58 PM) Why does everybody act like the AL is so superior? Who has been winning the WS lately? Who is kicking the Sox ass this season?? The NL. I'd sign him. Why not? Have you been paying attention to Interleague play outside of the Sox at all Greg? When you take everything into account the NL is bad. They have good teams, but they have very few. Just because one team from the NL won the WS doesn't mean the entire league is good or better than the AL. Jamie Moyer barely throws 80 MPH and gets crushed almost every start. Giancarlo Stanton hit a home run that had the highest velocity off the bat ever recorded off Moyer. There is no reason for the Sox to sign him when you have options like Axelrod, who will actually give you a chance to win the game the majority of the time. Jamie Moyer throws batting practice.

'Bout f***ing time.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:26 PM) Blake Griffin, Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant to be on the cover of NBA 2k13. It's nice that DRose will be on the cover...too bad he won't be healthy for the majority of the year.

Cricket is offering the iPhone 4 and 4S at $400 and $500 respectively with their $55 unlimited plan. Not a bad deal, considering unlocked 4S phones cost like 600.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:35 PM) He's been doing this all too much lately...I don't know where his f***ing head is...he's trying to volley everything like he's Ivan Lendl or some s***. I'll take the 40 points less of batting average if he'll go back to hitting home runs. Even when he's put some good swings on pitches, they don't go very far. Something's up with that wrist. He should take some cortisone shots more often.

This should be a good one.

Looks like Android 4.1 will be out at Google I/O next week, along with their Kindle Fire killer Nexus tablet. http://www.androidcentral.com/android-41-j...on-galaxy-nexus I'd like to take this opportunity to laugh at the people who spent $700 on an unlocked Galaxy S III or $280 for a subsidized one. Two weeks into their phone's release and their OS will be outdated. LOL I'm glad I bought my Galaxy Nexus.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 10:40 AM) Sooooo....OKC bringing it back home tonight or is it all over? If they do bring it back, there's still some hope.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 10:22 AM) There are rumors Bynum is available for the right deal... What about Deng+ for Bynum and that Noah for Evans and #5 rumor.. As I stated before I like the fact Evans worked with a "shot doc" then improved his shooting significantly after. He's also versatile, he played PG and SF last year and can obviously play SG, with that if Barnes is off the board when we're up at 5 we can grab a Bradley Beal and play Evans at the 3. I'm fine with keeping things the same, but I enjoy speculating as well. As much as Joakim gets hurt, Bynum makes Joakim look like he's always healthy.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 09:36 AM) If I'm Byrnes, I want someone like Mitchell as a centerpiece, Quintana because he will kill in Petco, Nate Jones, and a lower end pitcher. If I'm KW, I try to avoid giving up Jones, but if worse comes to worse, I make this deal, possibly asking for a Stewart-like pitcher back for the sake of ML depth. Headley has less than 4 years of service time and is criminally underrated because of his team and park. No on Quintana, maybe on Jones. I'm all for giving away somebody like Mitchell. Headley's a good player and he'll most likely be affordable once he hits free agency. He doesn't have the power to warrant big money on the market and he's a good but not great hitter. He can possibly be your 3B of the future.

QUOTE (balfanman @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 09:17 AM) I don't believe that the Sox "overspent" by any means. The players way underperformed. When you sign Will Ohman for two years, you most likely overspent.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 08:12 AM) Ozzie is getting paid to hang around a baseball team and party down in Miami. Honestly, good for him. We'd all love that gig. He's so good at that, he should win Manager of the Year.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 09:06 AM) Ratings are up both on televison and radio and attendance is down. Prices are the problem. If this was 2006, Dynamic Pricing would probably make the White Sox a lot more money. Its not 2006. Its costing them. I remember it used to cost $47 a ticket for a really good lower deck seat near the dugouts against good teams back in those days. Now you'd be lucky to find ones for $50 without promo codes.

I still don't want Youk. I'd rather get Chase Headley. Get that guy out of Petco and he'll hit 20 HR with very good on base skills. Headley's career stats away from home: .300/.366/.444, good for a wOBA of .356 and a wRC+ of 128. Oh and he's a good defender at 3B. Headley's going to take a lot more to get, but this is someone you can have for a year and a half and he'll give you 3-4 win production at a very valuable position.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 08:47 AM) And if he was legitimately that good, 29 other GMs wouldn't be leaving him languish in Albuquerque NM. How do you know he's not slinging with Jesse Pinkman and Walter White down there?
