I'd give up Noah for Melo.

QUOTE (Cali @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 10:45 AM) Are they really trying to call Chapman, the Cuban Missle? That 'Nick is spoken for..... Don't tell me, some bad analyst on ESPN said it...

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 10:40 AM) A rotation of Danks/Peavy/Floyd/Buehrle/Jackson for a full season could be simply incredible. And if Jackson pitches anything close to the way he has with us, he'd be the #1 starter.

lol, more likely than not, they're going to pitch around Manny since Teahen is hitting right behind him.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 10:27 PM) Lighten up, man! We won the game and Jenks was a big part of it. Can't you be happy for Bobby and the White Sox? I haven't posted in the winner thread yet where I'll also praise Jackson and AJP, et. all. What's wrong with posting some of the wilder posts in the thread? You act like you are damaged mentally and/or physically by reading the post. Great win. I was never unhappy about it. But the fact that you had to try and get some sweet revenge back at every chance is getting old.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 10:25 PM) Great post. This signing proves the Sox do have money and Paulie should get a nice 2 year contract IMO. s***, this may sound dumb, but Paulie's defense is so good even if he suddenly started to suck as a hitter he wouldn't be a complete washout. The man can field. Watching him scoop the ball is a thing of beauty. He's also pretty damn good on grounders and liners. Pay Paulie!! It is dumb. Konerko's range has been pretty bad this year and even though he is pretty good at scooping bad throws, a lot of 1B are. Without his bat, Konerko wouldn't be a very valuable 1B.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 10:16 PM) Another game that the Twins had absolutely no business winning. All of their runs came with 2 outs. They have some of the best luck around I tell ya. All I know is that if we lose the division by one game, one of the things I'll look at is that pop up Jason Kubel hit that hit one of the rings at Tropicana Field. You can't find any more fortune than that right there. That's up there with Castillo dropping A-Rod's game-winning pop-up.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 10:20 PM) Just thought I'd list the highlights of the game thread. I just got in and read it now. My favorite: fat f*** after Bobby gave up a hit. That last one wasn't a rip. Fathom was being nice. He was just concerned at Jenks' heavy work load of late. Where the hell was all of this yesterday? Seriously, this is getting old. Are you going to come out from your Bobby Jenks defending slumber every time he gets a save and then when he blows one, you'll crawl back into your cave and say nothing? BTW, it's good to see you've found out how to use the quote feature well now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 10:14 PM) Twins win, Capps somehow blowing 94 mph straight fastballs past Tigers hitters. He made a hell of a pitch against Cabrera though.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 09:41 PM) Looking more and more like our ineptitude against the Twins is going to cost us. We have Manny now. At least we know we have one guy who isn't scared of the Twins.

Come on Detroit, don't suck.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 09:10 PM) Just remember guys.....Edwin Jackson isn't dominant. Afterall, Carlos Silva had a good month or two for the Cubs.... I think Jackson has been the definition of dominant with us. His FIP is at 2.29 since joining the Sox. That's 1.4 WAR. 1.4 WAR over 5 starts, stretch that out over 30. You're talking 09 Zack Greinke.

Edwin Jackson is so god damn beast. He's going 05 Contreras on us.

OVA!

Bobby doesn't have the velocity. We better hope and pray.

Hanging curve, first pitch. UGH.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 08:46 PM) Cant blame Jackson, asking a guy to go 120+ pitches and he gets you to 1 strike away from a 1 run shut out He threw 130. Amazing effort.

That high curveball was very close to a strike.

God damn it. Do you bring Bobby in?

Jackson doesn't have great control of his fastball right now.

Ah crap.

One more out!

Hang one to Marte and this game might be tied.

Two seeing-eye singles. Ugh.
