Sale dealin'

QUOTE (Jake @ May 28, 2012 -> 12:31 PM) Moore has really been pounding the strike zone. It'll be a long day if he keeps that up. Control has been his bugaboo.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 28, 2012 -> 10:03 AM) You have me crying icicles instead of tears. On a quick note, I started singing that song walking down the streets of Beijing.

Weird thought process of the day looking at the pinned threads "Soxtalk WANTS YOU and "FutureSox needs you" . But there ain't no way Palehose talk is ever gonna love you , now don't be sad , cuz 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Only a few will understand .

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ May 28, 2012 -> 07:44 AM) Baseball is a game of streaks. Some are very odd and seem unreal. There will be a time when this time can't buy a hit. You wonder when age is going to catch up to PK and AJ when they are at bat. Maybe the pitching is getting worse in baseball. I doubt the pitching is getting worse. I don't bother looking up stats but it seems as though some teams have been shut out an awful lot this year so far . I think the Angels and A's the most.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 27, 2012 -> 05:25 PM) So basically you have nothing to add, besides perhaps mocking me indirectly (or directly if you want to credit most with a modicum of intelligence)? Where did I suggest doing anything? I pointed out the reasons they PROBABLY won't do anything, and you're not going to get as much for Floyd now anyways until when he goes on one of his patented hot streaks. What players did I suggest trading besides POSSIBLY Thornton, Floyd and Crain? Last time, I checked, I was wholeheartedly against the idea of trading Viciedo. You can search/check the entire history of this board from November of 2008 and you'll never see me saying such a thing. And improving the worst bench in the major leagues is a bad thing? Not worth discussion or thinking about? There's nothing interesting at all about the team being in the position they are now when 2 weeks ago NEARLY EVERY SINGLE THREAD talked about this team in terms of the future and rebuilding? Isn't trading those three players and clearing their contracts for younger prospects to come exactly the kind of move a rebuilding team SHOULD make? At a certain point, you don't think KW's starting to believe this team, as CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTED with a few additions, could actually WIN NOW? Wasn't the whole theme of the entire offseason constructing a team for 2013, 2014 and beyond? Doesn't the attendance certain reflect that belief in the fanbase? You truly believe what the Cubs are doing (positively and negatively) has absolutely no effect on the White Sox? What about KW's quotes once upon a time about making this a "White Sox town?" Just bold talk? The Cubs are going to finish with the worst or second worst record in the major leagues, and nobody's viewing this now (2012) as a golden opportunity? You really believe the White Sox are so cash poor they have no money to make an acquisition? If the cost/benefit of trading Gavin Floyd for a prospect and opening up that spot in the rotation for one of our young starters is such a clear decision, I bet you'd have nearly universal approval for it. But I would imagine if it was put to a poll, no more than 50% of the board would be for this move (despite three pretty much disastrous starts in a row), because they know what pieces in our minor league system we'd use to replace him, let's say Dylan Axelrod. That's not an issue worthy of debate and consideration? Caulfield. I might be one of the few who doesn't mind your "longwindedness" . I don't mind at all reading well thought out posts like yours that cover many angles. Just because it's a message board doesn't mean every post has to be a witty sound byte type post. I applaud your intellect however... you are not above mocking people. I have seen you do it to greg many times with your lie detector comments.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 28, 2012 -> 07:20 AM) Come Sale away with me! We will, we will rock you. I know it's not Styx but I was late to your Queen moment.

1st time since 1938 the Sox have scored at least 9 runs in 4 straight games.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 27, 2012 -> 05:32 PM) Why couldn't they do this the last couple years? Beats me. Maybe a near.400 average grabs your attention a bit more. Besides I didn't say it was solely from Konerko . You don't become a good hitter over night. Look how long it took Paulie to get where he is at. You pick up helpful things along the way. If you're able to apply what you learn and utilize it you get better, if not you don't.

I know Manto is getting a lot of praise now but I really feel like these hitters on the Sox are learning from Konerko.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 26, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) Because I'm easy come, easy go Thank you Bobby Sherman

If I'm Kenny I show no desire to make any deals. I take calls I listen I say no until I get the right offer.

Cant rob that b****es !!!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 26, 2012 -> 03:37 PM) Make it 4 for 4 PK Thank you very much

Rios robbed again

Cyborg Paulie !

Lowe self destruct

I love Tank !

I love Tank !

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 26, 2012 -> 12:39 AM) De Aza was not a product of our system. He was a Marlins guy. If he played in our minor leagues that counts to me.

QUOTE (earthshiner @ May 24, 2012 -> 11:52 PM) Better nickname for De Aza would be Diesel I've been looking at the name "De Aza" and knew there had to be a more obvious nickname with a Z sound that describes his style. It finally hit me . Pizzazz !

If the Sox really do end up competing the Cubs series , the beaning of Konerko will have been the turning point and Never Forget will be the new rally Crede.
