QUOTE (Benchwarmerjim @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 04:05 PM) Twins outscored Cleveland 28-6 Does this mean they won't score as many in the next 3?

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 04:13 PM) This time of year is like CHRISTMAS to me.....When the Sox are in the hunt of course. I still remember the 09 deadline. The deadline had passed and I was pissed. We didn't get anyone. Then Bob Nightengale tweeted that we got Peavy (again) and Soxtalk crashed. Haha.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 04:11 PM) looking at leagues numbers over the years, it's shocking how few bats the guy misses considering his stuff. I was surprised when I saw that he only K'd 6.6/9 last season.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 03:58 PM) On a sidenote, although I throughly applaud KW for being active. You have to wonder if too many more moves affects this great chemistry established. Granted you check the egos at the door, this team is really close and took Escy's departure hard. I just dint want this team being affected from the swagger they have shown all year Yeah, this is true. It's the price you pay for not having a strong farm system. You have to trade guys on the team.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 03:11 PM) Phelps gives the US .76 lead in relay and Lochte cant hold onto it. U.S. Men's swimming has been disappointing thus far.

Kenny's getting Felix. This is just a smokescreen.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 03:39 PM) Twins sweep the Indians. Indians gotta think long & hard these next couple days. They should trade Choo to the NL.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 03:35 PM) Indians about to be swept in Minnesota just in time to realize they should sell. I'd rather go out that way than to do something stupid that would hurt the team in the long run. Like that Ubaldo Jimenez trade last year.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 03:23 PM) Keppinger would be great as well Keppinger's way better than Gordon. That would be a hell of a way for Kenny to end the trade deadline.

League's not bad. His K numbers are way down from last year and his walks are up, but he's kept the ball in the park. I still don't see the need for yet another right handed reliever though. I don't see the Sox sending down Santiago and Septimo. Maybe one, but not both.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 01:12 PM) Wonder if the Sox are interested in Betancourt in Colorado? Our bullpen is set, unless we trade one of them.

Hawk loves to exaggerate. IT'S ALL GOOD!

Let's win this one. Tigers up 3-1 right now.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 11:12 AM) I didn't notice last night, but it looks like Myers got 39 from Axelrod. Will Joe McEwing give Liriano 47? Pressing issues. I doubt coaches give up numbers to players. Liriano will probably go with 57.

QUOTE (Bighurt52235 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 01:03 PM) http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8211434/...ltimore-orioles That f***er was so annoying.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 10:23 AM) SUNDAY, 12:51am: The Brewers will receive right-handed reliever Fautino De Los Santos in the trade according to Susan Slusser of The San Francisco Chronicle. The 26-year-old pitched to a 7.25 ERA in 36 Triple-A innings this year and owns a 4.21 ERA with 11.4 K/9 and 5.0 BB/9 in 36 1/3 big league innings with Oakland over the last two seasons. MLBTRADERUMORS Brewers sent C George Kottaras to Oakland on Saturday. In return, Milwaukee gets one of our old friends. I actually thought De Los Santos had the chance to be pretty special. Kottaras has an OBP 200 points higher than his batting average. He walks in 1/4 of his PAs. I wonder how much of that had to do with the fact that he hit in front of the pitcher.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:54 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN Kenny Williams has worked hard to make a deal. Via email: move for Liriano "imperative." Also said phone is out minutes, he's turning it off His phone is out of minutes? What? A GM doesn't have unlimited voice?

QUOTE (northside sawx @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:39 PM) Honestly. KW giving a big "F-ck you" to Keith Law He's given everyone a big "f*** You" this year.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:22 PM) And how deep do we need to go in the playoffs to resign Peavy, Youk, Myers, and Liriano? And what does this mean for Danks if we resign Liriano? Ain't gonna have 4 lefties. There's no way in hell we're re-signing Liriano if it's not super cheap. He's so high maintenance. I can stand him for 10 starts, but not for a whole year.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:19 PM) Lefties are not too scared of Thornton nowadays, so that's potentially an issue. We still have Santiago.

I have to imagine that the Sox will go with the 6 man staff and a 6 man bullpen. Septimo will most likely get sent down.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:06 PM) So does humber go to pen? Back to a 6 man rotation with rest for sale/q? That's my guess I think that's the most likely thing. Wow, I'm feeling very good about this team right now. Liriano had a good streak of 10 starts before we beat him up this week.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:07 PM) Great move. We lose nothing. Escobar might have a 10-plus-year career, but it's gonna be as a light-hitting starter, but most likely utility player. Hernandez is garbage. Let's hope Liriano finds his filthiness once again. I have a feeling Eduardo is going to hurt us in the future. Liriano can possibly pitch against his old team this weekend.

The only team that beat the s*** out of him recently was us. So I guess this is good, really good!

2.5 up on Detroit, 5.5 up on Cleveland. I think the Indians may consider selling at the deadline now.
