QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 07:24 PM) So basically that's a guaranteed suspension for both of them? Porcello 100% guaranteed yes. Youk, probably, but who cares?

QUOTE (heimel @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 07:08 PM) Youk got owned pretty badly. Porcello do a nice throw when he got charged and basically body slammed Youk. That's the complete opposite of what happened. Porcello was practically running away and Youk's momentum brought them both down.

So instead of playing all three guys at their natural positions, we should play of 3 guys out of position because Quentin played LF last season?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 01:44 PM) Royce Clayton was fantastic defensively for the Sox. And yes, I agree with daa that Swisher was average in CF and Alexei was bad at 2nd base. Alexei was great defensively prior to the ASB last year, but he absolutely sucked defensively in the 2nd half of 2008. Swisher was a better defender than Ramirez? What games were you watching?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 01:20 PM) royce clayton was bad defensively? news to me News to you? You think that Swisher was an average CF and Ramirez was below average at 2b. There is no rationalizing with you. Lord knows what you think about Pods in center.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 12:29 PM) its a nice K:BB ratio....but his K:IP is far from special...106.1 IP 79 K 11 BB....so hes for sure going to be around the plate, but im guessing he's not gonna overpower anyone either Your signature is a joke. Ramirez below average D? Rios is my pick to click. That is all.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 03:29 PM) Now we'll just have to figure out who to bat leadoff all over again now... Great. Now there will be 5000 posts responding to you about how Chone Figgins is God's gift to Earth.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 12:35 PM) Today is Monday.

QUOTE (Tex @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 11:22 AM) Based on the assumption the owners want Rios off the books ASAP. Unless I missed some objective evidence, that is just an assumption. For all we know, they had a trade worked out with Detroit, or another team with a better record, and were hoping no one else claimed him. For all we know, we didn't even claim him.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 09:12 AM) If he starts over Pods I'll kill someone. Pods will still play, but not in CF thank god.

Linebrink needs to be benched the first half of every season. His arm is dog tired by the all-star break EVERY YEAR!

Back to back absolute bombs on back to back pitches off Washburn. Hopefully our pitching acquisition looks better when he takes the bump.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 9, 2009 -> 12:07 PM) Surprised Castro isn't getting the start against a lefty. I'm not, Castro is awful right now

Pods Beckham Dye Konerko DH Aj Quentin Kotsay 1b Ramirez Getz

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 07:29 PM) I missed the first few innings and the discussion on here....why is Wise playing instead of Kotsay? Because Ozzie is being incompetent tonight. The guy (Wise) is a joke. At some point, this crap has to end. What are you telling your team when this s*** is tolerated? Wise is not a baseball player yet he continues to see the field.

QUOTE (kane0730 @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 03:18 PM) Glad JD is sitting out a game. Would rather see Kotsay over Wise. Yeah, what is the deal with this move?

I would gone if it wasn't so hot. I hate WSI. What an awful site with the worst mods known to man.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 12:00 PM) No definitely not. I just have concerns that with Rios' offensive downslopes over the past couple of seasons, whether or not he can get back to the offensive player he was. Some people believe that he just needs to get out of Toronto more than anything however. I find it also interesting that we didn't sign Aaron Rowand to that 5 year deal, and now we're going after someone in what could be a very similar scenario. Albeit Rowand is 4 year older though, which certainly makes a difference in their value from that perspective. Rios is a much better defender. Rios has much more power as well as speed. Rios is probably a better all around player.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 11:39 AM) I don't see it. Either we don't get him or Rios doesn't waive his NTC. Think about it. You think Ozzie is going to bench Pods for him? How about Quentin or Dye. I say fat chance. It only took 60 seconds for someone else to say it.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 11:26 AM) Quentin, a 1 year extension on Pods which would probably be cheap, and Danks/Mitchell/Kostay. Sure would give us more money to work with to sign a good 5th starter next year. That might be the worst outfield in history. But seriously, Kenny has his pitching set up and now he has to patch up the defense to make a run at the title. This move is a no-brainer in my opinion. Anyone who is cool with Pods in center needs immediate medical attention. And I might jump through my computer and choke the next person who "will be pissed if Pods is benched." Listen, no one is getting benched. This is a perfect way to rotate days off for the outfielders and Thome. And boy could they use those days off. Dye looks awful out there of late.

Man I am so sick of watching Nix in the field. All I ever hear about is his superb D. Yeah right...he is awful!! And why do you PR Getz, and PH Wise? Way to get that completely backwards Ozzie.

If the White Sox want him, the White Sox will get him. Now we sit and wait (and in my case, pray that we got him)

It seems to be a forgone conclusion that the Sox sign Figgins, where did this come from? Anyways, I would love Rios. He is having a little bit of a down year while playing for a garbage team. Pods-Rios-Quentin would be nice in '10

Ramirez gets back in the swing of things tonight, Getz with the day off.

Nevermind, at 9 AM the infomercial ended and then everything went back to normal...that was quite weird though
