QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 12:39 PM) Which is the whole reason he is still in Charlotte. There was a decision made that they were going to play DV in RF this season so he could come up to Chicago and play the same position. Trade Quentin away and get a cheap replacement for Pierre for next season and another SP candidate in case MB walks at the end of the year. Quentin's value will never be higher than it is now and with payroll concerns he will likely be moved eventually anyway. I really hate how Dunn and Rios sucking has kept Dayan down and with thoughts of trading Q. Those 2 have ruined everything.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 06:36 PM) It's time to bench Dunn. It's beyond obvious, as he's not coming close to breaking out of it. Still plenty of games left on his contract for him to hopefully at least become mediocre, but for right now...it has got to be Viciedo time. That's right . Dunn has been disgustingly brutal. Right now Viciedo with a broken arm is better than Dunn.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 01:35 PM) White Sox signed LHP Doug Davis to a minor league contract. Davis was released by the Cubs at the end of June after posting a 6.50 ERA over nine starts. The veteran left-hander will provide depth at the Triple-A level link ?

Need a bat. That hasn't changed . If the mods have a problem with me continuing to bump this let me know.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 17, 2011 -> 11:36 AM) It's essential we get Humber out of this game in time today, instead of waiting a batter or two too late as has happened several times thus far this year. Otherwise, we're going to lose this one 4-3... good one

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 12:43 AM) Gartrell is no longer in the organization. He is with the Braves. Thanx I was about 50/50 on knowing that but didn't bother to look it up.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 12:30 PM) Shane Lindsay and Dayan will represent Charlotte for the IL. Stephan Gartrell also and he won the AAA HR derby. It's on right now on MLB network.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 04:01 PM) I think if you are gonna move Quentin for a pitcher that you need to have a secondary move that sends pitching to either the Yankees or Astros for Gardner or Bourn. Quentin for Beachy would be pretty one-sided for the Braves though, the Sox give up an All-Star caliber OF for a guy who projects as career back of the rotation guy, so there would need to be more pieces than that from a Sox perspective. Braves fans seem to think Q for Beachy is lopsided in our favor. After all Heyward is in right for them. Beachy is looking pretty damn good and is cheap. Q is only signed through 2012. Braves also need a right handed utility guy (Lillibridge) and a relief pitcher (Santiago) so maybe they can work something out involving any or all the players I mentioned. Throw Pierre and McLouth into the mix as well or any of the other studly Braves minor league pitchers.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 11:44 AM) Maybe my eyes deceive me, but it looks to me like the wire is on the far side of the table, not on the people-side, that the wires run below the table as part of the short railing. Looks to me like that table is there not only to serve as a table but also to prevent people from getting all of their upper body weight over the usual type of railing. So what happens? Some dolt stands on it going for the cycle. Greedy and stupid is no way to go through life son to paraphrase Animal House.

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 06:26 PM) Fixed your comp. I like mine better. Just as a hitter.

Let's just leave our new Frank Thomas in the minors forever. That should help so much.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 08:11 PM) 24? That's not even possible. It's possible if you leave the bases loaded every inning for 9 innings then its 27. But I think the stat he's referring to is like if men are on 2 nd and 3rd with no outs and no one scores that's 2 men apiece left on for 3 batters so 6 in that type of inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 07:46 PM) Been a strike all night. 6 inches off the plate is just terrible . I don't care . How's a guy supposed to have a decent AB if he has to swing at pitches off the plate. I can't blame Teahen at all.

Teahen was put in an 0-2 hole by 2 awful calls.

this HP umpire sucks !

QUOTE (asmithxc @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 06:10 PM) Konerko, going 1st to 3rd like an All Star. 2nd to 3rd actually . 1st to 3rd in 2 AB's

Let's go Lillibeast !

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 06:08 PM) Getz saved a run there. But that's what we need out of Quentin. K. Walker bringing good luck to the Sox. He'll be heading to Great Falls on Friday morning out of Salt Lake City. Escobar did.

Nice to finally see some hits strung together. One more by Aj would be nice.

All right Carlos !

PK you da man !

Double steal time ?

Nice bunt Morel .

The KC station is showing a lot of picturesque shots of Chicago . One shot was of the beach where a young man threw a football to a young woman. As she catches it against her chest she yells out OWW my boob !! ". Cracked me up .

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 05:34 PM) Hosmer seeming to take exception to Peavy's politicking for the 3rd strike with the home plate umpire. Vizquel should have taken the out at 3rd and it would be 2 outs, 1st and 2nd. Oh, well. You need to score at least one run anyway. Doubt it will end up 1-0 with the wind blowing out and 85 degrees. I thought so too about going to 3rd since he was headed in that direction. Yay PK HR !
