I'm sure Berkman would love to be on the Sox right now. He's been the subject of a ton of boos in New York. BTW, did the show say anything about who we were going to give up for him?
August 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 01:38 AM) I like the trade deadline access and debate. Well, I hate D. Zien, the Assistant Director of Baseball Ops. His talk about facing LHP in the postseason was idiotic considering we have to make the playoffs first.

August 9, 201015 yr Coop after Ozzie spoke: "I didn't get any of that, is that going to be on your twitter later?"

August 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 08:55 PM) Really feel like KW would kick the crap out of Rizzo if he got the chance. He felt used and i don't blame him.
August 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (That funky motion @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 10:10 PM) All I heard was cash going to the Astros. It was Berkman and Cash to the White Sox.
August 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 09:12 PM) It was Berkman and Cash to the White Sox. Wow... I would have sure love to have Berkman for nothing. That + EJax would have been a hell of a deadline.

Yea. . i loved their approach of 'not taking away from the current product' meaning he'll trade only from the minors. KW will still get a bat. It may not be a significant bat- but he'll definitley get something.
August 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 10:01 PM) Wow... I would have sure love to have Berkman for nothing. That + EJax would have been a hell of a deadline. No doubt. I loved the way Kenny and Rick..etc handled their business at the deadline. Good of Peavy to try and sell Berkman on the Sox. Not getting a bat truly pissed everybody off, especially Kenny. But, he did say "We aren't getting anybody...right now..." See my avatar for details. Edited August 9, 201015 yr by bucket-of-suck
August 9, 201015 yr I keep f***ing missing this show. Last two I've missed cause I always forget it is on every Sundays. God dammit!
August 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 11:57 PM) Ugh, so heart-breaking to see that Berkman deal denied. This.

August 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 01:51 AM) Again...will it ever air on Comcast SportsNet? I want to see it >. hit 999 on your comcast remote (I'm assuming you have a cable box) then click on White Sox and go from there. My friend didn't have MLB Network at he was able to watch it with ondemand.

August 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 08:55 PM) Really feel like KW would kick the crap out of Rizzo if he got the chance. Didnt get that at all. All I saw was EJax was never discussed and KW wanted to keep him instead of trying to get Dunn. Rizzo has said multiple times that the Sox were in a distant 3rd place and were never close. And since I now see how close the deal actually was, I am more confident in my sources. I mentioned Berkman months ago as a player of interest and its clear they were talking about it legitimately back then. Edited August 9, 201015 yr by RockRaines

Kenny was also quite angry at an unnamed GM that he felt was just asking for the moon from Kenny to try to drive up the asking price on that player for other teams. And referred to this trading deadine as particularly frustrating because of it.

Driving up the price saying there was a 3-way deal possible or that the Sox were shopping Gordo. I dont think we were close at all for Dunn.

I don't think we were either, and I think part of the reason KW is pissed at Rizzo is that he felt like Rizzo was being totally unreasonable.
