QUOTE (spiderman @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 11:04 AM) Hilarious. Heyman on MLB Network saying that the Sox now won't trade Jackson to Washington, and the Nationals are asking for Beckham or Alexi Ramirez instead. Screw Mike Rizzo. Watch this catch up with him, Strasburg's going to have arm issues and Harper's going to suck. It's karma.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 11:01 AM) don't stop? Get it get it. Let's take the series now.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 11:04 AM) We traded for Manny Ramirez from the Nationals?? I was talking about us coming up empty. Mike Rizzo basically f***ed this deadline over for us.

Kenny got played by Mike Rizzo.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 10:51 AM) wow Ken_Rosenthal Source: #WhiteSox wanted #Dodgers to pay all but 1M of approximately 6.7M left on Manny's 2010 contract with no player coming back. Well that would be a slap in the face to the Dodgers. It's not like they're out of the race.

Manny Ramirez isn't worth it. He's hurt right now.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 10:36 AM) Cowley confirms the shocker was indeed Manny. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/chicago...-ramirez-073110 Ah crap. Looks like we're not getting anything then.

QUOTE (spiderman @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 10:28 AM) jonmorosi #WhiteSox asked the #Dodgers about Manny -- and were rejected, sources tell FOXSports.com lawl, you knew Kenny would have gone there.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 10:14 AM) would you give up mitchell and flowers for scott? No and maybe.

I tend to think Berkman hates Chicago period (he really dislikes the Cubs), so that's probably why he vetoed a deal here.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 09:29 AM) Would he also be a 2 month rental? Nope, arb eligible for two years.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 09:28 AM) If it's Luke Scott, that's fine. I think I'd rather have him than LaRoche. Same here. I'd almost rather have Scott than Dunn since he can actually play a little bit of the outfield.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 08:12 AM) Rays get Qualls for PTBNL and $$$. Qualls has been a victim in that AZ bullpen. I think he can work out well in Tampa.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 09:10 AM) Yeah but not many GMs are like KW where they don't ask for King's Ransom if they don't get it hold out til the last minute. I am sure that's what is happening here. They want Jackson + top prospect (my guess Viciedo) and we want to give Jackson + mid-level prospect. I think a deal will happen, but it will likely just take til the last minute. Jackson alone is a lot for Dunn.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 12:06 AM) Somebody should teach him that there is another possible way to get on base besides the hit. The fact that he took a close pitch called strike yesterday and was on his way to first was even encouraging to me. He wanted to walk, now he just has to do it.

I've just added a GM to my most hated list and that's Mike Rizzo.

We got all we could have asked for out of Harrell. Good stuff.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:05 PM) I don't think that Kenny would've traded for Jackson if he wasn't prepared to be stuck with him. This is Mr. big gamble we're talking about here.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 08:17 PM) Rizzo really is a douche. Nobody's going to want to deal with him from here on out. He basically drove Jackson's price up and then said, oh wait. f***er...

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 08:58 PM) Why do I enjoy listening to Farmer? I used to hate him, but he's grown on me. Not sure why. It's because you're getting sick of Hawk.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 08:59 PM) Great job Lucas . Viciedo .322 now. His OBP is also .322, unfortunately.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 08:38 PM) Rosenthal tweets that the Blue Jays may make multiple trades, maybe Fathom is right and we'll see Lind. I kind of don't want Lind.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 08:34 PM) Top of the 8th inning in a 7-1 game for a defensive replacement. Not much to it.

Lucas Harrell's FIP is bad, but I'll take his nice low ERA right now. Only need him for this one start.

A.J. with anybody on first is a GIDP waiting to happen.
