QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 11:59 AM) I don't think there's a chance the Orioles would trade Scott for Flowers. Read what I posted in response to Caulfield more carefully. After I posted in teal that the Orioles might be interested in the "great" (sarcasm) Tyler Flowers, he suggested that KW wouldn't trade Flowers for Scott because KW wouldn't want to "cut bait" on Flowers after being the centerpiece of the Vazquez deal. My response was that although I don't think the Orioles would be interested, if they did make that trade, hypothetically speaking, KW would not be seen as "cutting bait" on Flowers but as using him to get a great return in value. Clear now? You're right, didn't follow the discussion close enough.

Every once in a while you do get lucky with these trades. I hear the Indians got a nice little catching prospect for a 34 year old, soon to be free agent third baseman around the deadline in 2008.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 12:06 AM) That is a horrendous, horrible, disgustingly terrible movie. I fell asleep about 20 minutes into it and was actually upset I didn't fall asleep earlier. I made it to the part where there was 2 or 3 of the fat, lisped dude from 24 annoying the living s*** out of me, at this time I realized that we have a finite amount of time on this planet and turned it off.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 11:53 AM) And if scouts from other teams think he's as good as you say, maybe it would be better to re-sign AJ and trade Flowers while his value is so high. Or pencil him in as the 2011 starting catcher and save a little money because as of right now we're going to have next to nothing to spend in the offseason.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 02:11 AM) Pods is down to a .332 OBP and .671 OPS. Where did all his supporters go? .242/.285/.320/.605 over 168 PA since the beginning of May.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 11:31 AM) Not that the Orioles would be interested in Flowers, but hypothetically speaking, if KW can trade Flowers for a Luke Scott I don't think he would be viewed as simply cutting bait on Flowers but using him to bring in a quality player. That's usually how KW operates. So if we're looking at Flowers and don't think his future production will be good enough for him to stick as an everday catcher the Orioles are suppose to deal one of their most valuable pieces for him hoping that he's able to stick at 1B or DH?

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 11:05 AM) What part of his contract goes against my point that the Sox could use him? Send them Linebrink, Teahen, and a couple low level prospects. That only adds 6 mil to payroll. So the Cubs are going to sell low on one of the best players in baseball in exchange for our garbage? How does that make any sense? And Teahen and Linebrink over the next 2 years = $15.75M, Ramirez for next year and a buyout for 2012: $16.6M. Even a flimsy "salary dump" argument doesn't work.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 06:36 PM) Carlos Pena just hit his 7th HR in his last 6 games (he's homered in all 6 games). Speaking of Carlos's guess who's 2 for 4 today with a double, HR and 3 RBI in his second big league game!?!?!

AJ called a hell of a game today.

Wind

Alright. Tracy looked awful right there.

Ok, one more god dammit. Why is this always so f***ing hard?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 06:02 PM) Ugh, he's going to steal 2nd also. We should try a pitch out. I'm not sure you want to spot Bobby a ball, his control is s*** as is.

Jenks is just maddening.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 05:59 PM) I do believe in jinx, but even if I didn't, I wouldn't talk about "throwing strikes" in a close game. If you don't believe in jinxes then you're not afraid to say anything during a close. It's like Buehrle bragging about his perfect game in the 5th inning.

Ok, he's lookied a hell of a lot better over the last 2 batters. Nail it down.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 05:57 PM) Seriously, stop! You have some of the oddest beliefs for someone who's not baseball retarded.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 05:56 PM) I said "not really" to your "greatly improve". Paulies chances go from 0% to 10% That's not a great improvement? I'd going from 0% to 0.0001% is a great improvement, personally.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 05:51 PM) Not really. Considering Girardi is picking teams, he will take Teixeria. Sure they do. Chances that Tex makes the team if he's voted in: 100%. Chances Tex makes the team because his manager is a f***tard: less than 100%.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 05:47 PM) Yikes. As far as jinxes, this might classify as something to jinx the ninth as well as my Putz line. I don't see how fans that have watched Mark Buehrle over the past few years could still believe in jinxes.

With Morneau moving into the lead at 1B in AS voting Konerko's chances of making the team greatly improve but still aren't great.

JJ! Outstanding. It's on Jenks' shoulders now.

Wow, hell of a pitch by Putz.

Pierre took a horrible route to that ball.
