You'd probably feel differently if you regularly attended games in Dallas in June-August.

I would add that in addition to the really slow guys, there are a couple really fast guys like De Aza and Rios, and they have turned a few of those doubles into triples.

AL Central: SOX Detroit -2½ Cleveland -5½ AL Wild Card: Oakland +½ LA Angels Detroit -2 Tampa Bay -3 Baltimore -3 Toronto -3½ Boston -5 Cleveland -5 7/29 Games: DET @ TOR 1:07 OAK @ BAL 1:35 CLE @ MIN 2:10 TB @ LAA 3:35 SOX @ TEX 7:05 BOS @ NYY 8:00

It was 1986.

This was his last year of arb. He is FA after this season.

Liriano is a FA after this season.

I don't know. There are no position players currently on the 40 that can be brought up, but this was a 2-for-1 deal so there is now a spot open on the 40.

Yeah, I'd be skeptical about this one. It was tweeted by the Chicago White Sox. What do they know??

The most popular events (swimming, gymnastics, track&field) are generally only shown in primetime.

Crazy cycling race today. Alexander Vinokourov spoiled the British party, and American Taylor Phinney missed a medal by a few inches.

AL Central: SOX Detroit -1½ Cleveland -4½ AL Wildcard: LA Angels +½ Oakland Detroit -1½ Baltimore -2½ Tampa Bay -3½ Toronto -4 Cleveland -4½ Boston -5½ 7/28 Games: DET @ TOR 1:07 BOS @ NYY 4:05 OAK @ BAL 7:05 CLE @ MIN 7:10 SOX @ TEX 8:05 TB @ LAA 9:05

Perhaps a mod should change the thread title to reflect that Grienke has been traded to the Angels?

I'd take Dempster if he'd agree to uproot his family and move.

Oh, I doubt it would be both. I don't think they get Floyd if they get Reed. If the Sox have to give up Reed, then Floyd probably goes somewhere else for a bullpen arm.

With Jones/Myers/Crain on the right side and the possibility of bringing back Omogrosso or moving Humber to the pen, the right side of the bullpen can sustain the loss of Reed. Brewers better eat some cash or include a prospect with ZG if they're getting Reed, though.

A pre-emptive f*** you to anybody voting for Oakland.

MLBN schedule out for first half of August. Yankees are on seven times, which is seven more times than the Sox are on. Only division/WC leader without an appearance.

Down here in Southern Indiana, I have a lot of conversations with people where I think they're talking about Darvish but it turns out they're just using poor grammar.

Players on the ML roster I can see being traded: Floyd Humber Reed Thornton Jones Santiago Beckham Escobar Hudson JorDanks Anybody else really can't be traded if the Sox are trying to win this year. The guys I listed the Sox can either live without or replace somewhat easily via another trade.

AL Central: SOX Detroit -½ Cleveland -3½ AL Wild Card: LA Angels +½ Oakland Detroit -½ Baltimore -1½ Tampa Bay -2½ Cleveland -3½ Toronto -4 Boston -4½ 7/27 Games: OAK @ BAL 7:05 BOS @ NYY 7:05 DET @ TOR 7:07 SOX @ TEX 8:05 CLE @ MIN 8:10 TB @ LAA 10:05

Oakland lost. Sox now tied for 2nd WC in addition to tied for division.

Last Sox-Twins trade was 9/3/86. Next longest trade droughts are Detroit 1989 and Baltimore 2002.

Good if you're trying to beat the Yankees, bad if you're trying to beat the Angels.
