Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm

Didn't KW spit out the same crap when the Sox claimed Rios? Reporter: Sources are reporting that you've been awarded the claim for Alex Rios. KennyGM: Rios? Do you know something I don't know? I wonder if JR has moved KW out and install Rick Hahn as GM, and not informed him yet? Hahn's first order of business was acquiring a lefthanded bat for Greg Walker to ruin.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 12:34 PM) After Swisher, Rios and Done, I no longer believe in the automatic power spike that's supposed to occur when playing at the Cell. Considering those 3 players are equally worthless on the road, you might consider the players themselves (or blame it on the hitting coach) and not disregard the park's obvious advantage played towards the hitters. If you question USCF just reference Konerko's home/road splits over his career: HOME: .295 .375 .553 ROAD: .270 .343 .453

Maybe we can send Ozzie to Minnesota, since he apparently appreciates their fanbase http://twitter.com/#!/OzzieGuillen/sta...306193484787712 #perpetualhattip

Didn't the Cubs just fire their GM? Who is going to handle such a swap on their end, their "interim" GM?

I remember in the offseason most "educated" Sox fans said that any offense from Morel would be gravy, considering his plus glove. Ah, the good ol' days.... back when Adam Dunn and Alex Rios weren't destroying the city and urinating in everyone's cornflakes, back when we were still "All In".... If Adam Dunn and Alex Rios had played within 80% of expectations, I don't think we'd be talking about Brent Morel's offensive output (or lackthereof). This thread is seemingly just a reminder of how bad bad bad bad bad Dunn/Rios is.

I hate this team so much. Its almost like the animal that stands lifeless next to its mate after its been crushed by a truck on the highway. I dont know why I bother standing here next to my dead old friend, the Chicago White Sox.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 12:45 PM) ESPN had the game and it was a hot headed comment on a close play and the ump tossed him right away. They didn't know what it was he said, but it had to be offensive to get that quick of a toss. Bruney was mad. Bruney has had a bad game or two, but all in all he hasn't done that bad. The Sox made their mistake earlier when they brought up Jeff Gray and then tried to send him back down only to see Seattle claim him. Gray was a good long relief option. Now getting back to Bruney I have to say I liked to see a Sox player with some passion and get angry over having the call go aganst us. He tried hs best to get that runner. It was better seeing that then watching Rios trot around sluffing it, which he did twice out there last night. Bruney admitted he let the team down. Done and over with Got it, thanks.

I (fortunately) missed the game lastnight. Can someone kindly recap what Bruney's unspeakable act was that got him ejected?

Its hilarious that the Guillens would actually publicly make such comments, considering they regularly make childish and baseless comments about people on twitter (which, ya know, is on the internet much like Soxtalk).... That being said, I think OzJr and Oney are probably still upset that Katy Perry said he has a tiny weewee.

Maybe the sox can hire Tony LaRussa's daughter instead?? We all know KennyGM loves the Raiders.... http://www.sportsgrindent.com/blog/mlb-man...fl-cheerleader/

They should let Rios pitch tomorrow to see if his ERA could potentially be higher than is BA

I think that Soxtalk.com needs more "Alex Rios sucks" threads.

I wonder if Oney realizes that Katy Perry, the second hottest woman on earth (second only to Jillian Michaels) is a Proactiv spokesperson? "Oney Guillen has a tiny Venezuelan penis."

My biggest "fan issue" with Rios isn't that he sucks. Fine... you Suck Alex Rios. What pisses me off, as a fan, is that he has so much talent. But, he wastes it. What a waste of talent.

Hi Soxtalk.com Admin team. Could I please change my display screen name from Anderson Cooper's Quivering Lip ... to ... Jillian Michaels' Abs Also, thanks for allowing us to request these and for procuring them. EDIT: I changed my mind on the new name and shortened it up a bit. Thanks again!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:21 AM) I think most Sox fans would make this deal. Don't tell KennyGM. He'll trade Viciedo+Reed for him even though he's a free agent sitting at home (on a probably really small couch).

I wonder if maybe they'll produce some different ads now with maybe a somewhat altered message.... "ALL IN is not folding when you watched idle as your division opponents all added to their rosters" "ALL IN is not being able to trade for a difference maker because your farm system sucks" "ALL IN is not knowing when to close up shop for the year"

a friend of mine is from Houston and goes to Astros spring training every year. Just posted on his facebook.... *thumbsup*

We should trade him for David Eckstein. He has short arms, chokes up, and has a really short swing.

Not sure how you could "hate" Adam Dunn. Its not like he's a bad guy. He just isn't performing well. He has come out and said so himself. Alex Rios doesn't really give you a whole lot as a fan to root for.... Adam Dunn, at least, I am rooting for him to pull through his slump. Whereas with Rios, I want to see him taken out back and put out of his misery.

This isn't even a rumor. Rumors are based on some semblence of logical conclusion (such as a team need, etc) and an "insider source" like Rosenthal, Heyman, Morosi, etc This is utter nonsense stirred up by some jamoke on the twitters. PS - I was also told Mat Gamel kinda sucks. ...... Did you see what I did there?

The whitesox are a bunch of racists. Ignore the latin manager, black GM and jewish owner.

Didn't one of the Sox beat writers tweet yesterday that the Sox have said Danks will NOT be traded? I'll have to go check my twitter feed.... could swore I saw that somewhere.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 12:28 AM) And then Jackson did as Jackson does. Not so fast. Saying that Jackson did as Jackson does would imply that he returned to some lessor form... which isn't the case at all. In his time with the Whitesox which equates to roughly one full season, he posted these numbers: 30 S 196.2 IP 11-9 3.66 ERA 174 K 57 BB 1.342 WHIP 114 ERA+ 3.05 K/BB Those are really impressive numbers pitching for a team that demonstrated trouble scoring enough runs to support quality starts. Comparing those numbers to his career averages, he is either entering his prime years and has it figured out (Thanks Dr Cooper) or Don Cooper is just some kind of magician.... 31 S 194 IP 11-11 4.53 ERA 145 K 81 BB 1.644 WHIP 88 ERA+ 1.38 K/BB Bottom line is Edwin Jackson pitched exceedingly well for the Sox relative to his career numbers and Kenny sold high on him.
