And then we do something called "riding the hot streak." I do appreciate the condescension though, Greg.

Did Cowley just say that Ozzie once wrote up a lineup with Pierre hitting 4th? I wouldn't be suprised at all.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 03:40 PM) Somebody needs to pull up some old Javy threads. I can't believe people are supporting this abomination of a trade. I think there are some similarites to Daniel Cabrera here too. All stuff, little control and people will be screaming upside till he's out of baseball.

Edwin Jackson has and has always had insane stuff, but he's never had a lick of control.

I do think there's more at play here, but yeah, on face value the deal is awful.

Looks like i can start to focus on my AAP for Addison Reed now. I really liked Holmberg's potential too.

God, i hope this is a move to get Adam Dunn because if it isn't we just got hosed.

Castro should be starting until his play suggests differently.

This is a massive overpay by the Twins. You don't give up this kind of package for relief pitching.

White Sox just signed Jon Adkins. Can we have Ray Durham too while we're at it?

HE GAWN

It's a great feeling to have utter faith in Beckham again. Beckham with his head on straight is a huge addition to this team.

I love how they still play Your Love whenever Beckham gets a hit.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 09:09 PM) But you're trading for a guy who will play here 2 months and then leave. As I've talked about before, if the Sox aren't willing to break the bank for draft picks, then supplemental picks are likely to be easy college signs. I'd still take the two picks and see what Laumann can do with them, but yeah, i'm not at all inclined to trade both Flowers and Viciedo.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 09:06 PM) I wonder if Torres has been traded. Torres seems like one of the only guys who has enough value to fetch something decent and that the Sox can afford to lose. I would not be suprised.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 09:06 PM) Does Kenny even follow the games? Doesn't he make roster decisions? Why is Kotsay still on this team when Lillibridge and Viciedo are exponentially better? I think Kotsay is just one of the concessions that Kenny makes to Ozzie to keep him happy.

Kotsay grounds out to 2nd? WILL WONDERS NEVER CEASE???

Wilson turned that really well.

QUOTE (TomPickle @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 08:57 PM) Welp, I'm stupid. It's alright i failed to read the sarcasm, and just thought you were oddly confident in Juan Pierre.

OMAR!!!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 08:55 PM) Who's faster, Konerko or Castro? Doesn't matter. They're both base cloggers and need to be replaced by versatile guys like Kotsay.

JUANDOG PLACES IT PERFECTLY!!!! YES!!

Words cannot describe how pleased i am that Mark Kotsay is not due up for a while.

Pretty at-bat from Beckham!
