Griset is looking for around a $300K bonus http://www.mercedsunstar.com/2010/06/23/14...r-pressure.html

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 04:07 PM) This is why you should visit Talkbulls, you'd be 24 hours ahead. It's just that Talk Bulls requires a new website...

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 03:58 PM) Let's not get out of hand. I liked De Aza coming into the system and feel he could be valuable, but he doesn't belong on the Sox roster, not at this point. The main motivation I have is that he keeps Lillibridges speed if you move Lilli back down to keep Kotsay on the roster or trade for Adam Dunn, is a back up OF, and lets Dayan keep playing by removing the competition in Kotsay.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 04:03 PM) Buehrle wasn't a 1st round pick. Buehrle wasn't a first 37 rounds pick.

Here is what I would support for the team: Main Move/Subsequent Move Trade for Dunn/DFA Kotsay Promote De Aza/DFA Jones (trade if you can magically get anything for him, maybe even a throw in a Dunn deal) Teahen off DL/Send Frodo down to AAA Start Dayan at 3B/Teahen to bench. Suddenly, the bench becomes: S - Omar Vizquel - 2B/SS/3B L - Mark Teahen - 3B/1B/RF/LF/DH L - Alejandro De Aza - OF/Pinch Runner R - Ramon Castro - C L - Adam Dunn - 1B/DH (starter most of time)

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 07:25 AM) De Aza in 4 games since returning from the DL: 9-for-16, 2 HR, 2 2B, 3 BB We could kill two birds (Kotsay & Jones) with him. Call him up, suddenly you have a speedy back up OF that is left handed and Dayan is allowed to stay on the team. And yes, I know Kotsay is a valuable bench player, but as long as he is in Chicago he will be a starter. Edit: Also, not kidding. If he makes it to AA I will probably by a #26 Blackwood shirt. If he makes the MLB, I certainly will (I don't buy jerseys, and if I did, it'd only be Paulie or Buehrle right now)

I'm dyin' for some Dayan. Stupid Ozzie...

The epic feeling will be gone unless tomorrow lasts at least 7 hours. Isner looks mad as hell.

Come on Isner! Also, if Don LaFontaine were still alive, he would have to announce this match.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 02:37 PM) I think they think Sale will be ready by next year, they are THAT high on him. After watching Peavy on 5 days rest, I wouldn't hate a 6-man rotation...

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 02:31 PM) It wont end though they are too tired to win it returning. Gatorade solves everything.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 02:25 PM) You cannot end a match like that... Especially because they are so locked in. At some point, that becomes impossible to replace and once they start tomorrow it could be over in 5 minutes and lose the epic feeling.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 02:18 PM) They have an hour of sunlight left. F*** it, play in the dark.

Wait, they might postpone it?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 02:09 PM) wtf channel is it on? all i have is soccer on both espns ESPNU

51-51! If Harold Baines weren't injured, he'd need to come end this.

You can audibly hear them being exhausted.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 01:46 PM) He'd start and the other 3 would make it as reserves since there's no DH's worthy of a reserve role (since Vlad is starting). The only question would be: will they carry 3 extra 1B/DH, they carried 2 in '08, 3 in '05 and 3 in '03. Just for what its worth, if Girardi picked Tex for the roster, he'd lose all integrity as a manager.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 01:34 PM) And what about Morneau? Fortunately, DH's this year suck and Vlad should be the only one with a case.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 01:24 PM) Days in Big leagues for Viciedo: 6. Games started for Viciedo: 1. Developing Mark Kotsay is much more important Balta.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 01:18 PM) He won't though. Then Ozzie should no longer make lineups.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 11:46 PM) Yeah, sports message boards are giant sausage fests generally. Thems the breaks! However, this is a good board for that, where people can start threads about their penises and not get ridiculed.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 12:30 AM) Balta posted the site a few posts up. Wow. And I think many knew Gadzuric was going to be traded. Skiles was not a fan of his. I'm still comprehending this In recent years, if the Blazers had made different choices, they could enter this season with Paul/Roy/Durant/Aldridge/Cousins

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 07:59 PM) It means that Chase was called "Oscar" by his college coach (Greg Guilliams) because he often swings at garbage!! I honestly don't know what his problem is!! LOL If you tell him to stop doing that and he makes it to at least AA for a period of time, I will probably have to buy a custom Sox Blackwood #26 Jersey T-Shirt.
