QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:49 PM) And I just showed how the math all but declares the Tigers the winner. All but...so yeah like I said

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:40 PM) What I'm saying is that, yes, it would make their team better. But it doesn't matter because it's already over. For the Orioles, it is in stone that it is already over. For the Sox, it's over in all but the mathematical sense. The Tigers need to play one game over .500 just to get to 87 wins. The Sox need to win 2/3 of their games to get to that same number. It's just not going to happen. Good thing the math is all that counts at the end of the day

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:31 PM) Why would we spend more money when our attendance is pathetic and we have a .500 team with virtually no chance to win it all this year? Yes spending 600K is really putting it all out there...

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:28 PM) That has been my point this entire time. It does not benefit the Sox to claim him, so why do it? It only serves to screw him out of a chance to win a title. I worded that wrong.I believe he helps us. He clearly is an upgrade at DH. There is no loss for the White Sox if he decides to play or retire

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:21 PM) As opposed to playing for the Yankees/Red Sox/Phillies/Brewers/Braves who are locks for the playoffs and actually have a chance to make it to the World Series. Yes, it is a drag in comparison. You know what if he doesnt like that we claimed him if we do then he can retire. Hell we may not even claim him and there really is no loss for the White Sox if we do.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:12 PM) I bet he also wouldn't like to have his leg caught in a bear trap. I'll never get to know for sure, though, as I'm not him or his spouse. Yeah playing for the Chicago White Sox who are playing for a playoff spot. Geez what a drag.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:10 PM) YES! I GET TO GO BACK TO A .500 TEAM! It's OK, I never really wanted to win a title in my 21-year career. Yeah you arent Jim Thome or Jim Thome's wife. So really you know as much as anyone on here about his thoughts if we were to claim him.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:05 PM) Ugh, the only people with that attitude are the very few fans of the Sox who still think we're in it. I guarantee even Thome would breathe a sigh of disappointment if he heard that the Sox claimed him, and probably his teammates on both the Twins and Sox. I love when people guarantee how a player will feel when something happens. Do you sleep next to him at night? Hell for all you know he could be absolutely thrilled.

QUOTE (Papa Tru @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:03 PM) And were trying to do that, and if he can help us in trying to do that there is nothing s***ty about that.. Exactly...its not like were out of contention.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 11:53 AM) Look, the fact of the matter is that claiming Thome is like chaining him to the deck of the Titanic. This ship is going down, and it's just plain unfair to him to bring him down with us. Let him try to find a lifeboat that will bring him to the promised land. Since when is this game fair? If we claim him then to bad.

Why not?

Lets just get past the Indians already

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 21, 2011 -> 03:48 PM) CMon Chris let's get nasty The good ole number 1

Damn I thought that thing was gone

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Aug 21, 2011 -> 03:00 PM) Lilli about to pass Dunn in homers, Pierre about to pass him in RBI. What a season! Thats why we pay him the big bucks

Frodo up !

Juan Pierre makes them pay !

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 21, 2011 -> 02:35 PM) Great to hear Why wait? Lets get him up here

The only way Dayan was going to get on this team before September was if Carlos got hurt.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 09:16 PM) Andruw Jones would have been a perfect platoon match for Thome last year. Andruw was good in the OF to. But hey....I guess they would have all been better hitting options than Dunn at this point lol.

Man i wish we could of had him on that team last year.Hell even this year. To bad our manager thought Mark Kotsay and Andruw Jones were better options. Congrats Big Jim!Keep it up!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 09:01 PM) His punishment is sure to be a bullpen trip. and Rios will start in CF

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 09:10 PM) Good thing for KW that Stewart was good in his one start up here. If Frasor continues to suck here, we're not picking up that option of his next season. You gave up a rental plus a bad 3rd baseman for a decent to bad reliever and potentially good starter. Ill take that trade.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 09:09 PM) Jackson would look pretty good in our rotation right now You mean for 2 months before he jumps ship.Not to mention wasnt it just the other day he got shelled?
