Here's what it'll look like Pierre Vizquel Rios Konerko Manny for 1 AB, Kotsay for 3, and if there's time Jones for 1 Quentin AJ Ramirez Beckham

If Kotsay or Jones are starting at DH today I think soxtalk will disappear and just never return.... Like it was swallowed into a black hole....

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 12:09 PM) Maybe something different. Well, let's see 23 - 25 are taken...he could go 22...maybe 26 (unless some people on the 40 man have those and I dont know)

#99?

Don't underestimate the greediness and stupidity of Frank McCourt though.... He will really want that $4.3 mil in his pocket....

I'm hoping any minor leaguers will be A ball no ones, especially if they're taking on salary....

Put him on waivers already Doyers...what's with the waiting?

Kyle Bellamy! haha

Nice to see Thompson hitting well right off the DL. Picking up right where he left off.... AFL a possibility for him?

I gotta hope having this leak early before LA actually puts him on waivers that some other teams will attempt to block the Sox

Acquire Manny for nothing...DF-Kotsay.... What a glorious day that would be....

Its crazy how he could pitch like that all throughout HS, College, and a little bit of minor's, but a few months in the big leagues and we'd on the DL twice already? Either it's all catching up to him at the worst time, or it's just such a super mental and stressful thing he's doing now pitching in the bigs and he blows it out... Maybe it's both Sad either way. Maybe kids will be less and less likely to rock the inverted W (which I still think should just be called the M) as they play ball through their youth...

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 04:01 PM) This is off topic, but I get a chubby thinking of a rotation next year of Danks, Floyd, Edwin, Buehrle, and hopefully a healthy Peavy. Chris Sale as back up. I try and get excited about it, but I was excited about this years rotation last off-season too. Buehrle has been so inconsistent since 2006 really, you don't know which Floyd is going to show up, the one from June-Mid-Aug or the one from April-May? Peavy's health and Apr-May performance is a concern, Jackson is still a ?, and Danks, as great as he's been at points this season seems to suffer from lack of run support and has for all his years here and still can't seem to be economical with this pitch count, He can't keep being at 75-80 pitches in the 5th... If they are all on their game next year and the stars align it will be something to marvel...

Part of me wishes the streak never happened, so that it could all blow up in Ozzie's face and the team get a nice restructuring in the off-season, plus bonus, we'd get a nice high draft pick. Now we'll get the 18th-19th pick or so, Ozzie will keep this job, and we'll get more of the same because, it almost worked.... But damn those 10 games were quite nice... And the pitching was phenomenal.

We can totally afford to lose a game today...might as well make it two, right Oz? What a joke this organization is.... I hope we lose the division by one game, since, you know we can afford it....

This whole thing is f***ed.... There is no way they can win tonight, I'm sorry....f***ing A

This has all the makings of a disaster... I love Coop but his 2nd half schedule is f***ing us over. The 1st double header with Torres, just so Freddy could start against the Twins and get shellacked.... And now this DH with more than likely Pena starting? Yeeesh. I said it in the previous game thread, but this babying of pitchers is ridiculous. can't believe Jackson doesnt have the mental capacity to go "Screw it, it was only 7 pitches, lemme start Game 2" Yes Joe West did f*** us, but Edwin was probably going to throw all those warm up pitches before the game anyway since the rain hadn't started falling. We're in a playoff hunt, and we're gonna start Tony Pena?

What the f***? Is it really worse to start Jackson in game 2 than Tony Pena? They'd rather baby these pitchers and basically give up a win by starting a reliever? 7 pitches, 7 f'n pitches might f*** our season over haha.... Wow

Man the Twins aren't really that good (except against the Sox it seems) but no one can seem to figure them out....

What a White Sox way to score a run. Runners at the corners no-out, GIDP and a run scored hha

Thanks for nothing Anaheim....

Does their Minor League section still have a picture of Kris Honel? Haha I've always thought WSI represented the past (lots of stuffy old dudes running that place), and SoxTalk concentrated on the future...(and was started by younger folks)

Well the Twins have also been proven to be a better team than the White Sox most of this decade (minus 2005, of course)

Gotta Sweep um to get me interested again after those first two Minny disasters....

I've used Pandora and found more than a few new bands/artists I've dug. It depends on your station though, the more obscure the artist/song, the better, because an office mate of mine put on a U2 station and it basically churned out U2, Coldplay, and RHCP non-stop... I've never really had that problem...
