What a job by Sale.

Carlos is just having a bad bad day.

Come on Carlos, do something positive.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:29 PM) That bunt was a wasted out. It always is when Adam Dunn is hitting behind Konerko. They'll pitch to Dunn instead of Konerko every time. Especially since Coke is left handed.

Nice job Ozzie.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:09 PM) And Detroit is starting him at third. Only because Brandon Inge is hitting worse than Alex Rios and Adam Dunn.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:06 PM) He also couldn't catch a ball to save his life. Which is what I meant when I said he's not a utility infielder. He's basically a DH you can trot out to field maybe once per week at 1B.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:02 PM) f***ing Betamit. Why didn't he play like that in a Sox uniform?? We never really gave him the chance. He could always hit a little bit, but we treated him like a utility infielder, which he is not...

Very nice start for Danks. 10 Ks in just 6 frames.

8 Ks for Danks today through 4.2.

Danks isn't long for this game if he's going to walk guys.

Johnny Danks not messin' around.

Come on Danks...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 01:45 PM) Yes that's right folks, we traded for a pitcher that Keith Law really likes. It's as controlled of an experiment as we can get. If Keith Law suddenly stops liking him...well, we'll know. Keith Law's usually been wrong when it comes to White Sox prospects.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 01:29 PM) Not every buy-low turns out, I think we've seen that first hand. And I liked Holmberg the best out of that trade, I hate Huddy's arm action and think he's a shoulder injury risk. Well, Kenny already made half the trade for Rasmus already, except he got an RP and a prospect back in return instead of a CFer who has 4-5 WAR talent (as he showed last season). I'm not mad that we traded Jackson or Teahen (I think everybody's happy his contract is gone), but if we could have gotten Rasmus by adding Matt Thornton to the offer, I just don't know what to say anymore.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 01:24 PM) Stewart is a decent, not great, prspect. But this perspective you are taking is ridiculous. Yes, the Hudson/Jackson trade was bad. That has absolutely nothing to do with what decisions KW makes after the fact. Zero. I'm not saying that trade affected this decision at all. I'm just stating what might actually be the end result of the Jackson trade. What I mean when I said Kenny is cleaning up his mess had more to do with him ditching Teahen's contract.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 01:22 PM) Dan Hudson AND David Holmberg. I don't know why people keep forgetting about him. I didn't. I just didn't feel like including his name in there as he's made no major impact as of right now. If there really was an offer for the Sox to get Rasmus, I will be PISSED. Because AA basically played Kenny. AA is a hell of a GM. He's buying low on great talent (Escobar, Morrow, etc.) and he's getting good returns from them thus far. I'm willing to bet that Rasmus will turn it around.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 10:34 AM) Ken_Rosenthal Ken Rosenthal Rival evaluator who recently tracked #Twins convinced they will keep Cuddyer even if they sell. Want to re-sign him. #tradedeadline #MLB Cuddyer's having a good year right now and he was good two years ago. But did the Twins not realize how awful he was last season?

Zach Stewart better be something, or else we basically gave up Dan Hudson for Jason Frasor... This deal is KW cleaning up his own mess.

I like how we ditched Teahen's contract in this deal, but if adding Matt Thornton to what we already gave up would have netted us Colby Rasmus, I don't know WTF Kenny is/was thinking.

Valverde's perfect in save situations this year. He's been absolutely awful in none-save situations though.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 09:15 PM) I figured it out: we're calling up De Aza to manage and releasing Ozzie I didn't realize he faced Boesch to lead the inning off. But still, you don't let Ohman face Cabrera...

Why is Ohman facing two righties and a switch hitter?

TIED!
