QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:00 PM) The GIF boom is the best thing to happen to sports dissemination since the invention of the television.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:57 PM) FWIW, Indians have now won 6 in a row to keep the heat on DET (Veras move, Verlander still struggling). A lot of it is about "attitude," I'll agree there with the Indians' announcers and Harrelson's TWTW. Miggy re-aggravated his injury today.

Breaking: Jake Peavy has contracted the ebola virus, trade unlikely.

ah, s*** Well, I've had about enough White Sox baseball for the week.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:37 PM) Pretty gutsy on his part to wait until the 8th inning of the last game before the trade deadline to fake an injury to avoid a trade. It's pretty damn impressive that he's able to intentionally foul the ball off his ankle, shows incredible bat control, could this actually backfire on him and increase his trade value?

I like how since Hawk criticizes umpires so frequently and fervently that when a play on the field involves an umpire and he was in no way at fault Hawk has to go out of his way to let us know.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:24 PM) Renaudo was pulled after going 6.2 innings. Dude threw 98 pitches, sure seems like a coincidence.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:16 PM) And certainly not for Peavy. Agreed, they'd have pulled Bogaerts if a Peavy deal were close.

Jeff Passan @JeffPassan Source: Jackie Bradley Jr. and Anthony Ranaudo not involved in any trade at the moment.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 07:56 PM) You should sit in the bleachers some time... Luckily the one game I saw at Jacob's Field I was about as far away from the drum as possible.

Dear Lord I hate that f***ing drum.

Except that scorched single to right, Hawk.

heh white sox

John Perrotto @jperrotto Am told only way #Pirates part with Taillon is in deal for Peavy, Ramirez and #WhiteSox also putting in plenty of cash. 6:29pm · 30 Jul 13 · web That dude from earlier.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 05:57 PM) He's got a lot more power than Conor though. Drawing some walks would also help his cause. That's my issue with him, the top position player coming back having a nice BB% would be preferable.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 05:55 PM) Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 1m White Sox are said to be sticking to high asking price for Peavy. Teams are wondering if they'll get more flexible as deadline nears. Rick sticking to his guns! Hey, look, conflicting reports! This s*** isn't getting annoying as hell or anything.

Any trade with Arizona needs to include Keon Broxton and preferably Socrates Brito as well.

Oh man, this place is gonna be a clusterf*** when we trade Peavy for a package centered around Will Middlebrooks or David Holmberg. It'd be super if they could, for once, exceed our expectations.

CONFIRMED: Konerko to the Rangers for Goldschmidt and the corpse of Peter Angelos.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 05:11 PM) Why would Texas want Konerko? Paulie is awful. I'd make the deal just to see Andy Wilkins the rest of the year. Cue Wite and his throbbing Konerko boner in 3 . 2 . 1 . . .

discuss

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 04:57 PM) I find your avatar offensive. Nobody puts Jay in a corner! Get back to me when Jay learns to dance the f***ing Pachanga! Til' then he's stuck with Briscoe.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 04:54 PM) Some Twitter sources said a package had been discussed, though, not that the Pirates offered it. And Jake Peavy was involved, not Alex freaking Rios.
