Soxfest

This news is a week old!

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 2, 2007 -> 10:29 PM) You're not going to attract quality free agents unless you give them some sort of NTC. I really am puzzled as to how the Sox are expecting to add talent to the organization besides for trying to develop young guys. They are not going attract alot living in the Bill Wirtz way of contracts of yesteryear.

QUOTE(Phil McKrevice @ Jul 2, 2007 -> 10:12 PM) No way Sox recover from this loss. What a great way to send off Buehrle. It was over way before tonight.

I would not give him away but would listen to offers.

Pods can stay on DL make it 60 days he will get hurt again anyway!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 2, 2007 -> 12:44 PM) Michael (Dallas): Regarding the Dodgers, do you think Kemp is enough to pry Buehrle away? Is it worth if for LA? Thanks. SportsNation Buster Olney: (1:22 PM ET ) Michael: If the White Sox get Matt Kemp for Buehrle, that's a pretty good deal for a rent-a-player (for Chicago). Talked to about 10 people in the game over the last 24 hours and not one of them -- not one -- thinks the White Sox are making the right call by refusing to give Buehrle the no-trade clause. Given what the market is for pitching, four years and $56 million is an incredible bargain, and they should just give him the no-trade clause, or come up with some way around this sticking point (like guaranteeing a $5 million bonus if he's traded, or something like that). JR and KW thinking on the NTC clause is this case makes them look cheap and stupid. The NTC is the tradeoff for the lower than market value deal MB is willing to take.

The White Sox informed the Chicago Sun-Times today that Jose Contreras's no-trade clause actually ran out in November of 2006. So much for Contreras waiving anything. Joe Cowley says the Mets, Braves, and Dodgers are all interested. I wouldn't be shocked to see Kenny Williams deal Buehrle and anothe starter. He could deal Buehrle for a top position player prospect, and then swap Contreras or Javier Vazquez for a younger starter. It will be tough for KW to sit back and close up shop on starters after making a Buehrle trade. A Buehrle trade may only increase the desperation of the remaining clubs. Williams might still have the best available starter in his stable, if the competition is Matt Morris and Jason Jennings.

Pods "My ribs hurt I am leaving the game today after 1 inning, I love the DL!"

The go to drink beer and look at girls in tube tops, it is certainly not the winning tradition!

Now Bonds wants to talk, I have no reason to watch the Bonds lovefest night so I won't!

f*** BOR-ASS

Strange ways....................twisted days

Good play

Put fragile ass PODS on 60 day DL takes you to September called up players and sit his ass on bench rest of year he is worthless then .

Anyone besides me tired of smugass KW mouth every time he speaks.......I loathe KW always have.

If deal is dead lets move on for MB and Sox sake!

Come on guys the whole MB saga is pure ham & egg on the fans.

KW would be wise If someone wants JC trade him ASAP.

Geraldo needs to open more vaults! ............From PW Torch below. Gerlado Rivera was a guest analyst on The O'Reilly Factor tonight and made a huge mistake in trying to create a conspiracy because he mistakenly believed that Sherri Martel and Nancy Benoit died on the same day, then loosely tied Sherri with Nancy's ex-husband, Kevin Sullivan (whom he didn't mention by name) and said she was his "booker," whatever that means. He then managed to get wrong the dates of the text messages, saying they took place on Sunday night during the PPV. Mid-discussion, Geraldo moved to the Wikipedia posting at midnight on Sunday. He said it could have been by chance, a hoax by someone making it up. He said another coincidence is that Chris kills his wife on Friday, June 15 or Saturday, June 16 and that Sherri Martel also died of unnatural causes related to drug use. He said she is another woman connected to these pro wrestlers. He said Sherri knew Nancy's ex-husband. He asked if the posting was made by a WWE official, "they were obviously in communication with Chris Benoit." He said it was alleged that Benoit was text messaging his friends as he was watching a wrestling event he was supposed to be at in Texas. "The Feds have to subpoena every single electronic communication," he said. "I think this is going to be gigantic." He wondered if it was bigger than a murder-murder-suicide. O'Reilly said (completely off-topic), "If they can prove steroid abuse was ordered by the top guys in the wrestling federation, they'll arrest them." Geraldo asked, "What if you can prove everybody in town knows whatever everybody is doing and do nothing. Now it's a little less clear as to their criminal liability, but I think you've definitely got a story here that will affect professional wrestling in a profound way." Earlier in the discussion, Geraldo said: "I think there is going to be increased scrutiny of WWE... in the steroid abuse of the people who are their actors in this entertainment venture. There is obviously great athleticism. They know about their heavy steroid use." He brought up the raids on Chris Benoit's doctor and internet pharmacy. He said WWE tried to downplay the steroid involvment and place the blame on Chris or Nancy arguing over the care of their child. "What a bunch of bunk that was," he said. "They were trying intentionally to deflect the public's attention from this steroid use." WK ANALYSIS: Okay, how does a news entity with Fox News resources get a story so so so so so wrong? It is just embarrassing that Geraldo said Sherri and Nancy died on the same day. It's embarrassing on a lesser scale that after Geraldo presented this flawed potential conspiracy theory and then O'Reilly said something completely unrelated as if he either wasn't listening or didn't understand the basics of what he said.

I f***ing hate the pick of Noah, he is dumber than a box of rocks, Paxson really screwed up!

Hopefully Floyd can compete for a spot in rotation in 2008.

Fox 5 News out of Fayetteville, Georgia is reporting that the office of Chris Benoit’s personal physician, Dr. Phil Astin was raided by Drug Enforcement Agents last night confiscating computers. According to an article on their web site Dr. Astin had prescribed testosterone to Chris in past and he had seen him on Friday. Drug Agents told the news station that the investigation of Dr. Astin stems from the prescription drugs found in the Benoit home with Dr. Astin’s name printed on them.

Sox will not resign him and will say at least they tried speech!

Congrats to FT on #500
