QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:07 PM) Shouldn't we have Ozuna hit for Mackowiak? D'oh.

We need some Fathom.

Whew.

Not good.

Common Mac...

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 09:50 PM) I think ol' Boone might have forgotten about the 'ol runner on second. Still, you gotta like the way he handled Sizemore. Conclusion: Boone's better without the 'stache. Didn't he look back at the runner?

Mr. Cotts, the bus is leaving shortly.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 09:46 PM) I think Logan is coming in to face Sizemore. I'm not sure what we're saving Thornton for. Given the recent string, I'd say back problem.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 09:36 PM) Iguchi would have been distracted by that. Think he could be traded?

Who are these guys?

QUOTE(2nd_city_saint787 @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 09:29 PM) why is that??? what about Crawford for Fields, logan, and Haegar or tracey In this case, neither guy is coming off a great season. Other than that they just don't want salary there. Like Fathom said, for them to trade a guy like Crawford, you have to get high level pitching back. Outside of B-Mac, we don't have a guy to give.

QUOTE(2nd_city_saint787 @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 09:25 PM) i think the D-rays would go for it but i dont the sox will. i think Fields goin there makes a lot of since if this guy knows what hes talking about in saying that upton is better suited for the OF.... Im thinkin Fields, Logan, and Haegar or Tracey or for that matter Javy or freddy Tampa wants no part of expensive players.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 09:23 PM) Boston with an insane comeback vs the Royals. I think we're the only team who can't come back to win against them. I see Perez had 10K's through 6.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 09:22 PM) A 1-6-3 Well, I was thinking more along the lines of him not being pulled. Either way good inning.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 09:20 PM) This is off to a great start. PULL HIM NOW!!!!! Oh boy. We all know what's going to happen.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 08:46 PM) Great 2 strike swings this inning so far. This team really needs that big gapper/slam to break it open. ^^^

SINGLES~!~!

4-2 Tigers Top 5

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 08:23 PM) BTW...55 homers for Howard Monster.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 08:15 PM) PK, Thome, Dye, Jenks and AJP are the 5 guys that I guarantee won't get traded this offseason. I'm not one to play GM and throw out my idea for what I would do, since I'm a fool. Sounds right though.

QUOTE(beautox @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 08:11 PM) Paul Konerko 1b 5 years/$60M (2006-10) * re-signed as a free agent 11/05 * 06-10: $12M annually * limited no-trade clause barring deals to 6 clubs without his permission * 3 years/$23M (2003-05) o 03:$6.25M, 04:$8M, 05:$8.75M o $75,000 bonus for winning ALCS MVP award o 2003-04 salaries increase $0.5M/year if traded * 2 years/$6.1M (2001-02), re-signed 11/02 o 01:$2.3M, 02:$3.8M * agent: Craig Landis * ML service: 7.141 Hes the Face of the white sox. Shows how much I pay attention.

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 08:12 PM) For a good starting pitcher? I think he'd do it in a second. He almost traded Konerko for Washburn 2 or 3 years ago. I haven't even thought about for what. Sorta just came to me, and I wanted to see what the opinion's were.

2-0 Tigers Bottom 3. QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 08:11 PM) Nope...not a chance. Ok then.

Fathom, let me ask you a wacky question.. Do you think Kenny would think of trading Konerko? Not saying he should, just want to toss it out there...

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 07:57 PM) He's lost about two steps. He's not even close to being a "burner" anymore. He also has a terrible baseball IQ, which doesn't really help him out. He has the physical abilities of a Frontier League player now. That about sums it up.
