May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 21, 2009 -> 10:42 AM) I think peavy & oswalt go hunting every year somewhere near Champaign, cause they seem to be spotted once a year at Kam's...maybe that will help convince him to come to Chicago? I bet we could get Oswalt too .... Kidding?
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 21, 2009 -> 09:40 AM) You got your perpetual message out... Yes Kenny is cheap, now quit spoiling the thread and move along. Acquiring Peavy will just prove my point. The one you told me was wrong. I just don't want to see the BS if he says no and KW goes back to his $.50 routine wondering if they will be able to pay the electric bill.

May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 21, 2009 -> 09:41 AM) I'm hearing four players. Poreda, Richard and Two Prospects. Gordon Beckham is not involved. I don't think his name could be involved because of when he was drafted, although I think last year KW slipped up at a press conference and named a PTBNL before he should have.

May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 21, 2009 -> 09:47 AM) Dude, stop. Well it's a good point, but I think it holds to form that the White Sox will spend big but only when theyve very carefully picked their spot. Thats better than some situations around the league.

Well then, you come out of a casino yelling, "I JUST WON 10 MILLION DOLLARS!" Or, "Hey, car salesmen...I have $50000!!!" I mean, c'mon. No GM can tip their hand.
May 21, 200916 yr So, how long would this phone call last? Come on Jake, you'll love it here, we have fans that know about the game, fireworks and lots of tailgating!!! Whoooooo!
May 21, 200916 yr I think this could show KW's strategy for the Sox in a year or so. Build around high-priced pitching and go with young offensive players.
May 21, 200916 yr The Sox should have Obama call Peavy and tell him its his duty as an American to play for the White Sox.

Come on Jake, you'll love it here, we have fans that know about the game, fireworks and lots of tailgating!!! Whoooooo! Why isn't Ozzie on the phone talking about any concerns Peavy might have? Although this call, and Ozzie's inability to be understood could hurt the deal, too.

May 21, 200916 yr I think we get an answer before the game starts today... and hopefully we get to see him deal against the Pirates this weekend.
May 21, 200916 yr I hope this is true... but even more, I hope the other two players aren't Carter or Hudson. I am okay with giving up Poreda and Richard... but not the other two.
May 21, 200916 yr Come on Jake. Wake up and let us know one way or not. We are gonna be so disappointed if this doesn't go through. Edited May 21, 200916 yr by maggsmaggs

Is waterboarding a form of torture? If not, then maybe it can be useful. Damn you Peavy, don't be a f***ing pussy! American League hitters aren't hiding under your bed or in your closet, so you can stop checking with the flashlights every night! Just talk to Hawk and he'll you the biggest thing you have to worry about in the ALC is Carlos Gomez (the next Rickey Henderson BTW).
May 21, 200916 yr Chat crew, is there anything new to this since what we were talking about last night? Any legs to this thing?
