QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 09:34 PM) I wonder what kinda market there is for CQ? He's just not that good. I'm wondering the same thing. It's just feast or famine with him. It's understandable how organizations tired of that.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 09:03 PM) Carlos Torres has no business on a major league roster. How bad is the International League? Carlos Torres needs to learn how to trade options. He'll make way more money.

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 09:35 PM) for all the carlos quentin lovers...he sucks in the last 2 years. for all the tony pena lovers, he's sucked since Williams signed him. once again, the runs that scored against him are the difference

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 07:43 PM) trying to get danks the win was a bad ozzie move His abrasiveness aside, his horrific handling of pitchers will be his downfall.

Pena gives up 2 of Danks runners and 2 of his own putting the game out of reach. It is absolutely remarkable how many times he's done that during the season.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 07:42 PM) That start a week ago has overshadowed how awful he's been lately. Lately? He's consistently terrible. You guys need to watch some really good baseball teams. You're clueless as to what constitutes a good middle relief. The Sox haven't had one since Dennis Lamb in 1983. Pena wouldn't be on most rosters. He wouldn't be on any of the contenders except the Sox.

QUOTE (bobryansson @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 07:24 PM) *See "Floyd, Gavin." I see 9-10.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 07:06 PM) Is there a smarter hitter in baseball than Paul Konerko right now? He's not as talented as Hamilton, Cabrera, he's up there in years, but you're flat out not going to fool him. Throw him some low sliders out of the strike zone, he's lost in space. When Frank and Mags were here, he batted 6th - where he belongs.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 06:59 PM) Adrian Gonzalez is a pretty good player too. (And I know SD would have never made that trade anyway). Danks is a good pitcher - a solid number three. I think he's been over-rated by some around here however. With the exception of perhaps Peavy when healthy, the Sox have no pitcher higher than a #3. None of them are dominant.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 08:28 PM) manny ramirez out of the lineup tonight btw Dodgers must really want him gone. They are taking no chances. If Kenny doesn't screw this up, we should get him for practically nothing.

You just can't keep losing to last place teams and expect to win a division. It's been 5 years since I've seen a Sox team with the killer instinct.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 09:23 PM) 4 RUNS - is that so much to ask for in our last at bats Sorry to say...yes it's too much. And I know everyone loves Mr. Buehrle but he is not an ace. Having seen great pitchers in my lifetime, Mark does not measure up to even a Gary Peters, Joel Horlen, Tommy John or Wilbur Wood , let alone a Marichal or Koufax.

Bring me Manny!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 04:41 PM) Jeez. Ozzie is really going off the deep end. I long for the day when an adult takes over as manager of the Chicago American League Ballclub

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 01:16 PM) Pierre LF Ramirez SS Rios CF (Last 28 days: .216/.255/.299/.554 with 8 GIDP) Konerko 1B Quentin DH Pierzynski C Jones RF Vizquel 3B Beckham 2B Buehrle P Time to move Gordon up. Rios is killing us in the 3 hole. Maybe one of the last times you'll see Rios batting 3rd if that guy from LA shows up

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 09:26 PM) I don't think very many would spend that kind of money on a Ramirez jersey unless he was guaranteed of coming back next season. They didn't sell that many Griffey, Jr., or Alomar jerseys when those guys were here well past their primes. I don't think Andruw Jones jerseys or Vizquel's have been hot sellers, either. Who is the #4 jersey after Buehrle/Konerko/Beckham these days? Danks? Quentin? Rios? Manny is still a viable offensive force. Griffey wasn't.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 08:04 PM) Simple question: Am I the only one that thinks spending 4 million on Manny would be an absolute waste of money? What do you call Kotsay and Teahan?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 07:21 PM) Looking at the crowd tonight, I don't blame KW for trying to make a move to help the PR of this team. The excitement for the Sox in Chicago has vanished. This team has no compelling ballplayers. Manny puts them on the map

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 11:16 AM) If Manny hits well, the lineup would look pretty beastly...provided Ozzie doesn't keep playing Kotsay. Surely not even Guillen would be that stupid not to insert Manny into the lineup as the de facto DH.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 21, 2010 -> 11:18 PM) Hopefully Pena can fool them the 2nd time they see him. Now that's funny. He's ERA is 5 - that does means something folks B

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 10:22 PM) Wow, a big F U to Ozzie there. Ballgame. Nancy Wilson to Guillen: You better face it girl, it's ova!!!

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 09:35 PM) I'm so ridiculously sick of hearing about Hudson. Jeez. You're going to be hearing about it for a long time, so get use to it pal. It was a terrible trade on many levels.

QUOTE (Bhay99 @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 09:27 PM) but I guess it's ok for you to throw out random gems like "this is the worst offense we've had in decades" I've watched this team since 1960 and this is one of the worst offenses I've seen them have. So that is no random thought. That 50 years of watching this team. This team fails in many aspects offensively. They may be more physically gifted but they don't execute well. They don't have a game plan as to how to approach different pitchers. Their approach is the same every day. Random my Aunt Agnes. You're as blind as their management.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 09:07 PM) Aren't we 3rd or 4th in the league hitting w/ RISP? You people always have something smart to say everytime time I post. Doesn't matter, I'll continue to post since the last I checked this was still a free country. Are you the watching the game? Being 3rd, 4th or FIRST in that category is no comfort to me or anyone else right now. You can throw your damn stats out of the freaking window. This is not the Cubs or any other national league team.

White Sox are breaking my heart with all of the RISP left on base. One of the worst offenses they've had in decades.
