QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 05:57 PM) I like that he doesn't take your crap. Why should he put up with it? Bravo! It's nice that any athlete would take the time to have a facebook account and respond.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 03:10 PM) Do you guys/gals sense that because of our injuries and dead arm of Sale we are destined to play in the one game Wild Card playoff? I think that is the Sox destiny this season. I don't think the Central will have any wildcard coming out of it. Detroit has been inconsistent. If they could pitch Verlander every other day they would win the division. I find it irritating the Sox squandered another opportunity yesterday.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 02:15 PM) I missed that Gavin rumor today. Would be nice if what KW was trying to get done would leak. Always is fun to see if KW was trying to pull off a MAJOR move. I'm guessing he was exploring the market value. I'm guessing a top starter close to the end of a contract and a major prospect. I'm glad nothing happened. a 6 man rotation makes sense.

My hope is for Kenny to get Juan Uribe if he is on waivers.

QUOTE (balfanman @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 03:08 PM) I agree with this, but who. The only infielder who comes to mind would be Visquel. Reliever....would the Cubs waive Marmol and could Cooper fix him? He's not God.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 01:07 PM) Kaplan says Tigers and Cubs discussing Soriano. So much for upgrading their defense.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 02:54 PM) You are talking about Peavy? Well he knew that he was injured. His intentions were to help the White Sox. Lol. Well he eventually came and is glad that he came. I think he got his Chicago teams confused when he "refused" the first time. This was a true Kenny under the radar trade. There was so much talk of him being a Cub. Surprise!

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 02:21 PM) I'd like the Sox to beat him in Game 7 of the ALCS. That would be nice. They way the Sox hit Texas pitching, there won't be a game 7.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 02:21 PM) Couldn't we have matched this offer? Hope Hempster does bad with the Ringers. two things could happen 1. he'll get shelled having to pitch in a hitter's league 2. he'll be lights out since the AL hasn't seen him

There's a rumor of Span going to the Reds. That would have been great if it were done last weekend.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 07:10 AM) Are you suggesting that Beckham was juiced in 08? I wouldn't rule that out 100%. Soto seemed to have great potential.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 04:55 PM) I know straight people who work at a gay bar. I know gay people who were fired for being gay. My brother is a bartender and I told him he should try to get a job at a gay bar because most gays have money and tip well. We saw an ad for a bartender for a gay bar. One of the requirements-must be gay.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 04:58 PM) They butt right up against the lines of discrimination and have been sued about a dozen times for it. Interesting. It looks like a place you have to be "all in" to work there. I see how they dodge that discrimination bullet.

Soto=the Gordan Beckham of catchers.

The Sox played so bad, they deserved to lose this one. So the ending was fitting.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 07:36 PM) Sitting him will ensure he will never make an errot again? I'm gonna go with Alexi is the type of player were time off hurts more than helps.

Rangers getting the crap beat out of them again. They'll get Lee.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 07:15 PM) This one is over. Books out on Quintana or was due for a bad outing.

Boston up 4-2

Let's see how the kid bounces back. Let's not get too paranoid.

Quotes from Rosenbloom's latest. Interestingly, White Sox general manager Ken Williams has no money and allegedly no prospects, but he seems to come up with young players that other teams identify as prospects. He comes up with deals. Williams traded for Kevin Youkilis to create the kind of big-boy lineup required in the American League, then Brett Myers to add a veteran set-up man/closer, and just last weekend Francisco Liriano to help a rotation get better and more rest. Whatever anybody thought of the Sox farm system, it has been good enough -- and Williams has been smart and creative enough -- to produce young talent that can help the big league team now, either in trade or in Sox fatigues. Kind of like a parallel front. Good phrase, that. Yeah, a parallel front -- winning in the race to develop young talent It always seem that during the season winning teams seem to get better trades.

Imagine how bad this team could have been if JR went totally cheap. Beckham, Morel, Flowers. Imagine them at the end of the order. That's when the bathrooms and concessions get crowded.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 10:38 AM) The White Sox lead the AL in Francisco Liriano additions in July. #0runsTuesday POTW. Classic!

QUOTE (balfanman @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 03:47 PM) I know what you're saying, but who knows what type of a rotation we could have in September? Danks - ? Peavy - Not pitched a full season in a while, dead arm ? Sale - dead arm ? Quintana - dead arm? Humber - ? Floyd - ? Liriano - ? When you think about it, the safest bet of the bunch might be Lariano. If I can pick up one more starter at a reasonable price it could mean an extra victory or 2. It might even mean that we would have a starter who could actually, you know.....pitch come playoff time. They should shelve Danks. They've got money invested in him. How much could he help this season? Too much risk unless the Sox were 10 games up.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 03:42 PM) I don't know. 6 or 7. Get Dempster for a couple sucky low level prospects with low ceilings, trade Floyd and Beckham for an upgrade at 2nd base. I think that could be a plan. I would trust Floyd over Dempster. I don't think I want a NL guy who has to learn the AL this late in the game.
