QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 04:27 PM) *Sigh* Jr would have helped this team so much(duh), I just really wish this deal would have went through. KGJ can impact the game. He is someone that would again strike fear in the opposition. He would make everyone around him better. People in front of KGJ and behind him in the order would get much better pitches to hit. Its a waterfall effect. "Sigh"

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) either way, unplug the muthaf***a and get back into the real world. Pointing out random lefties on other teams and wondering if they are going to be placed on waivers for no particular reason isnt really helping.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 01:03 PM) Also Jamie Walker from the Tigers is a possible name. He can get lefties out. The only problem is that the Tigers might not want to trade in the division. Where are you getting these trade ideas?

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 12:58 PM) he isn't that young. He is in his 30's i believe. Lots of teams get rid of cheap effective lefties.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 12:29 PM) There's a spot called DH. You could put a hitter there who you don't want to play the field. Honestly if the White Sox were to get him in that deal, then I could see Griffey going to LF and Pods becoming a DH since Pods isn't so great at fielding. Griffey would rotate with a bunch of players. He would be in this lineup. His bat is better than anything in our lineup right now.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 12:23 PM) I make mean texas style steak chili. I loooooove that kind. Now I am hungry. Dammit Now you have to post the recipe. Its only fair. Being raised by Irish parents and marrying an irish wife really kills my dining experiences. My mother in law thinks Ragu is too spicy to eat. Dammit Griffey and Burroughs would be great.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 12:21 PM) You all should be ashamed. There is nothing that compares to Texas chili [/story] I agree, Texas chili is the best. But I cant drive there for my chili fix.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 12:16 PM) Its the one thing that I really remember about Cincy when I went there a few years back. Good chili. My dad and I had never heard of it, but we kept seeing the places all over and finally decided to give er a try. Good stuff, and its the only time I've ever had Spaghetti Chili. Not as spicy as I'd prefer, but still good. I like Lindy's Chli Mac myself. Go to the one over by McKinley Park on the Southside.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 12:16 PM) Sean Burroughs Sucks! He isn't even worth Borchard. Josh look beyond this year. He has had a good BA and good OBP. He has good speed. He isnt a power bat at all. But fits in our new speed and ozzieball philosophy. Remember Borchard has been bad for years, is going to be gone after this year, and was released by the Mazatlan Deer in the Mexican Winter league. If you can get anything for Borchard now, use it.

Is this a deferred contract. OMG this is like a JR dream.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 12:08 PM) I agree it should not be called chili, because mine blows that s*** out of the water. But eaten properly, it is the s***. Skyline chili is amazing. And it has cinnamon in it, not chocolate, you must have gone to the wrong place. I went to Skyline in Covington and in Cincy. I knew it was something sweet in it. You should of saw my face when I took a bite into it. I throught I was getting chili and then this sweet stuff was there instead. Not my cup of tea. But to each their own. I nicknamed it River s***ty Chili after my experience.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) Whoa, hold the Fock up there. Do not, and I repeat do not ever say anything bad about the chili in the Nati. I crave Skyline every time I go out, and that stuff is undiscovered gold in my mind. I will always be a Reds fan, but this was a case of them holding on too tighly to a local hero. Young could of been a star in the making for them, and really solidified their future. Rogo could of taken the place of Washed up Casey, and they would've come out looking decent in that deal. Griff prob would of Dh'ed for us alot, and we would be more deadly, but I suspect that he will still be dealt through waivers. As a person that had to go to Cincy a lot for work I was subjected to that filth they call chili a bunch of times. It has nutmeg and chocolate in it and crap. Its not chili but runny crap. Chili is best southwest style, nice and hot. If you want something sweet I suggest an ice cream cone.

George Offerman is on the Score talking about how his "sources" are telling him that KW was close to a major deal. His "sources" told him it may have been Griffey or Dunn. George's "sources" are a browser and google. What a sham he is.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:57 AM) The Yankees are desperately looking for a CF and have boatloads of money, correct? Sadly I think this is correct. The Yanks who have gobs of money and want a CF would grab Griffey.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:50 AM) Cincinnati ownership is in a serious mess, they had all those players supposedly available and couldn't get anything done besides the Randa deal. Aurelia has been chomping at the bit to get traded and they probably could've extracted more for him at the deadline. The Sean Burroughs thing is very interesting, he's a bat control type of guy, I would love to get him for Borchard. If you look before this year. He had a good average, decent OBP and a good doubles rate. He hits righties a lot better than lefties. He is fast and hit leadoff for the the Padres a bit last year. Imagine if he could play SS.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:42 AM) He will definitely clear waivers. Any team claiming him would have to assume his entire contract. Maybe this trade can be revisited in a couple of weeks if Junior can stay healthy. It would make a lot of sense for both teams. The White Sox could really use his bat and his presence in the line-up. Well I think this attempted move pretty much sums up Thomas's future with this team, career ending or not.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:41 AM) And we kind of went blind over a couple tidbits in that first post.... End of the Timo era? Sean is in the minor leagues. More insurance I guess.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:40 AM) Welcome to trading deadline, part deuce. NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:39 AM) Weird thing is that the article says the Sox plan to get Sean Burroughs this week, too. Very interesting.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:36 AM) I would have white, cutoff, and gray! He would of been an impat bat in our lineup. This would of changed our lineup big time. FOCKING REDS AND THEIR RIVER s***TY CHILI.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 09:31 AM) i think this thread screams, make your lineup: Podsednik Iguchi Dye Konerko Everett AJ Rowand Crede Uribe These guys get on Pods Gooch These two are good fastball hitters that should get fastball counts because of Gooch and Pods on base Arow Dye These guys wouldnt hurt us as much. If they are on they get runners to drive in, if they are not Arow and Dye have good ops to drive in the run ahead of them. Kong Everett Here is a solid last part of the lineup AJ Crede Uribe

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 06:50 AM) Two great plays at 3B. Heck I am convinced we never need to see Ozuna at 3B again after just that one game. The minute he layed out for that first play at 3rd pretty much we saw the end of the Pablo Ozuna at third movement by Ozzie. It was refreshing to see someone who can position correctly at third, make the plays, and not crap themselves when a ball is hit to them.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 09:10 PM) Ew...:puke -OZ-ZIE awesome chant -Toronto has Garland's number this year -Blum is silk at 3rd -I love Jenks -Glad to see Adkins retaliate Blum looks a hell of a lot better than Ozuna at 3rd. That was like night and day. Good move KW> Jenks is a stud. Nice 2 innings. Good to see Ozzie stick up with his team and nice to see Atkins keep them honest after they plunk two players.

Heres to Blum having a good game tonight. That intro gives me chills everytime when it goes from Elk Trot and that Hes a pirate thing into Thunderstruck. ON YOUR FEET WHITESOX FANS....... MAKE THEM EAT s*** BLUM

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) LMAO! I said that to my sister once when we used to work together. Had this old dude laughing his ass off after he asked if I knew what it meant and said yup - my dad taught me that one. The fact that the local shops market it now for St. Patricks Day is pretty funny. Pog Mo Thoin shirts now. LOL I get a kick out of it because my family still uses Gaelic at home, my wife speaks a bit and I am going to teach it to my son when he starts to speak. Got to keep the old language from dying.
