Vizquel is almost under .100, hahahahahahaha.

Instead of one bat, I'd rather spend money on 3-4 additions in the next few offseasons.

Well, considering we seem to need a new RF, 2b, and SS, because ours have forgotten what a "bat" is...

You really think, right now, if we added Gonzalez tomorrow to this lineup and only had to give up minor leaguers, that we'd be in position to compete for the division?

Yes, because i think if we brought him in, it would be under the pretense that we could secure him for a few years. IF that's the case, we'll be competing for the divison for years to come.

If this team traded the farm for Gonzalez and signed him...They'd be throwing in the white flag financially for the next 2-3 years.

There's no way they can make that extension right now based on the way attendance is going.

Just f***ing play Nix or Beckman jesus

RIOS!!!

I love me some Alex Rios.

Fathom, you were saying something about Rios's swing?

BOOM!

 

OZZIEBALL!

Alex Rios, he is just SO HOT right now!

Well, he popped that one up! It's been so much fun watching him hit.

Rios has to feel good right about now...

You don't think that just getting him would have any impact on the amount of people coming to Sox games? We're a large mark team with an owner with deep pockets. You give Jerry a reason to believe that the team will improve, he'll spend the cash.

Yes, cause I thought he was trying to do too much with Konerko out.

AJ is worthless too. Another automatic out.

Frankly, no. I think you're 100% wrong.

No, unless we start winning, people won't start going to the games. Gonzalez is a great player, but he's not someone who will just make people go to the park to see him play. That's very rare in baseball...it's not the NBA.

Frankly, no. I think you're 100% wrong.

Well, that's a shame. It's perfectly logical to think that you get Adrian Gonzalez in a White Sox uniform that people are going to start showing up to games.

Mark Buehrle is pitching on a Friday night. He's one of the most popular players in team history. There's no one at the ballpark.

The team is terrible, is starting Kotsay and Vizquel, and doesn't have Adrian Gonzalez. This isn't a good example.

Buehrle really does have no-hit stuff tonight. Might be the best fastball he's thrown in years.

But people going to the game tonight didn't know this.

But even if that does happen...unless everyone else starts hitting, it's not going to be enough to offset the additional $25 mil a season it will take to sign him. You need to increase revenues by $25 million beyond where we've been the last 3-4 years.
