May 22, 200916 yr QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 21, 2009 -> 11:32 PM) An opt-out clause every year? f*** THAT. Tell me about it. Peavy can go fist himself. As if the guy's got 4 World Series rings or something. No one player is worth that ridiculous crap.
May 22, 200916 yr There is so much bulls*** coming out of Axelrod's mouth right now. Financial decisions were definitely discussed. Saying that tomorrow, he might change his mind, is pretty lame. I'm sure KW has already moved on. http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune....agent-says.html Edited May 22, 200916 yr by fathom
May 22, 200916 yr QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ May 21, 2009 -> 11:19 PM) Maybe KW should look into a Brandon Webb when he is off the DL....then again he is having some shoulder issues. Coo- Herm can fix him.

My favorite part is he's not afraid of the AL, but he won't pitch in it.

May 22, 200916 yr My favorite part of that article. "That never changed," Axelrod added. "Jake is not afraid of the American League. He feels better aligned with the National League and San Diego. What the hell is better aligned with the NL supposed to mean?

Everybody's walking the tightrope, at the end of the day these guys still want to be civil with each other and that's very encouraging to hear. What's also interesting is that Ozzie hasn't said a word about this. No rant, no reaction, nothing. Maybe he's been gagged, because i'm sure he's been approached for comment.

I don't believe for one second Peavy wants to pitch in the AL. He'll make an AL team give him a king's ransom to go there. I wish him nothing but the worst after tomorrow.

Add Gookie Dawkins to your sig, traded for future considerations to make room for Lillibridge.

May 22, 200916 yr With the way Mitch Atkins is pitching, right now, Their is no shot that the Cubs land Peavy. Apart from Vitters every piece of that already unrealistic trade is playing themselves out of value. Edited May 22, 200916 yr by Thunderbolt
May 22, 200916 yr I'm so pissed at Peavy that I hope the Cubs put up 10 runs on him in the first 5 innings...then I hope the Cubs go on a 14 game losing streak.F Peavy
May 22, 200916 yr I would love to see Ozzie just go off on Peavy and call him every name in the book. Maybe that will give this team a chip on its shoulder and play better.

May 22, 200916 yr f it. Hope for Gavin to turn it around, stay within 4-6 until July, try and work something out, and maybe he changes his tune. Or maybe the Sox sign/trade someone else.

I'm sure KW has already moved on. http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune....agent-says.html I think that Axelrod quote about him "changing his mind" is in regards to him being traded away from San Diego. He will be traded, but it will be to a different team, he just doesn't want to pitch for the White Sox.

Opt out clause, eh? That's code for, we aren't going to the AL for more than half a season. No one with a brain will give the first 2, and unless there's blackmail, no one will give the 3rd.
May 22, 200916 yr Maybe he knew what he was doing? Runs scored/runs allowed differential 27. San Diego Padres -44 28. Chicago White Sox -47 29. Baltimore Orioles -51 Washington Nationals -51 One thing is for certain, Ozzie Guillen will win the Pythagorean Manager of the Year award this season...

Baltimore Orioles -51 Washington Nationals -51 One thing is for certain, Ozzie Guillen will win the Pythagorean Manager of the Year award this season... Petco and Adrian Gonzalez are the only reason San Diego is so "high" on that list. Gavin Floyd and an underachieving or even disappointing offense so far are why the Sox are so low. That's a misleading statistic because it's f***ing May.

Baltimore Orioles -51 Washington Nationals -51 One thing is for certain, Ozzie Guillen will win the Pythagorean Manager of the Year award this season... Is this updated after yesterday's game? If so, isn't that a bit skewed considering 19 of those runs occurred in one loss?
May 22, 200916 yr I think I can say that Peavy will never be a member of the White Sox now...whether he "changes his mind" or even closer to the trade deadline. The one thing about a close knit organization is that if you piss off one, you piss off them all. And really, we aren't any worse than we were yesterday at 9:30 am. Well, maybe 19 runs worse.
May 22, 200916 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 22, 2009 -> 09:54 AM) Mainly because of the Peavy roller coaster, Soxtalk had 2340 posts yesterday. Just curious, but what's the record? I'd imagine it would be from the WS winner or maybe even the Freddy Garcia trade day
