QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 2, 2009 -> 02:00 PM) I'm having the dumbest argument with a Yankee fan on another board who insists Buehrle is not a soft tosser. http://tbebaseball.com/index.php?s=&sh...st&p=100618 Just inform him that Buehrle's average fastball is 85.6 mph.

Tie game, JD!

Good job, Gordo.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 2, 2009 -> 01:47 PM) Blonde, 2nd row behind Sox dugout. Hot? Slain.

Making some good contact early, you gotta believe that we'll get to him eventually.

Good way to start it.

Nice.

Bad pitch to swing at, c'mon Jermaine.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Aug 2, 2009 -> 10:04 AM) Finally watched the replay of yesterday's game. Sox hitters need to be patient at the plate as they were yesterday and hit with RISP which has been the difference b/w the 2 teams in the series so far. Getting a 4 game sweep against the Yanks would be quite the accomplishment. That would be a s***load of momentum, and that is definitely what this team needs.

Nix is having a day.

That CQ seems to be looking a LOT better up there?

What'd Axelrod have to say?

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:45 PM) The Chicago White Sox are paying Peavy"s entire contract according to 2 WS officials by bob nightengale twitter Still a solid deal. We've got a ton of money coming off.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:38 PM) I would love to be a fly on the wall in Tigers and Twins message boards: 2:00 pm: TIGERS GOT WASHBURN!!! 2:02 pm: TWINS GOT CABRERA!!! 3:02 pm: s***. Anyone have links to either of their boards? That'd be something I'd love to read.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:23 PM) One who is guaranteed to not be offered arbitration. And the other is type B.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:23 PM) So, no one knows anything about the opt-out then? That seems like something that would've been mentioned. The deal was made in 37 minutes according to his agent, I really doubt that they discussed that.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:21 PM) i think this shows that this move is really for the next couple years and just roll the dice in this bad division this year. I have no problem with the deal. Exactly. We'd go just as crazy if this deal was made at the winter meetings. Peavy being signed for so long is what makes this a spectacular deal for KW.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:20 PM) Again... healthy players Free Agents.

QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:18 PM) Via MLBTR... "Frankly I am flabbergasted that the White Sox would want to make this deal with him in his physical condition," Axelrod said. Is that a bad thing? That's an odd way of putting it. In the same article he says that the thing he stressed to KW was that Peavy hadn't thrown off a mound in 2 months.

FIP & BABIP both suggest that Peavy isn't flukey. He's legit.

Anyone hear if the Padres are eating salary?

QUOTE (chunk23 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:45 PM) This is an overpay simply because it appears this package is better for the Pads than the original package. The first one was Richard, Poreda and Broadway. Carter and Russell easily have more value than Broadway. Peavy is out for at least 5 weeks. KW overpaid. The first package included Daniel Hudson and another pitcher as well. KW underpaid for an Ace through 2013. Poreda is looking more and more like a closer and Hudson >>> Carter.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:44 PM) I think we easily have the best rotation in the AL. For a long time. Peavy though 2013, Burls through 2011, Danks & Floyd through 2013.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:41 PM) how long is he signed? 56m through 2012, 74m through 2013.
