QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 11:32 AM) He better get in, and if he's not a starter which is likely the case, Francona better pick him. If the selection process ended today, I don't know how Francona could justify keeping him out of the game. Obviously there is a lot of baseball to play from now to then, but as it stands right now I think Manny Ramirez, Ichiro and Hamilton are leading the votes. I also heard Manny, Ichiro and Vlad (not sure which one it is). Assuming its Vlad, then Hamilton is obviously going to go. Last year, Francona brought eight OFs to the all-star game. That leaves four more spots. I think Quentin is the leading candidate of the remaining players. The guy is second in RBIs and home runs right now. Other player I would bring would be Milton Bradley, Maggs, Upton and maybe Matsui (good avg. bad power numbers). Other guys in consideration would be David Murphy of Texas, Carl Crawford and then the big names like Grady Sizemore. So far, it is a pretty weak class of AL OFs. Hell, even Dye should be given some consideration with this group.

Two weeks ago i would say Beckham without out a doubt. However, Alexei is showing me he may be the shortstop of the future for this team.

Me likey the sox odds in this one. having said that makes me nervous.

Eh...by Guillen's standards, it's almost encouragement. The Daily Vidette? Hell yeah! I think i put that story in the paper! Weird move though. Guess it can't hurt. Will see where this goes.

Just heard this line-up on ESPN 1000: Cabrera SS AJP C CQ LF Konerko 1B Thome DH Dye RF Swisher CF Crede 3B Ramirez 2B Doesn't look like many changes, except somehow Konerko and Thome moved up in the line-up!

looks like the storms will blow through well before game time.

should be fine if the storms don't get into the way. I used to work at 670 and people from minnesota used to call in listening to the radio.

doesn't look good for this game. Looks like big storms heading this way....

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 29, 2008 -> 06:39 PM) Dye homer or something? base hit followed by a second base hit from thome. 1st and 2nd 1 out.

Please get a big hit PK!!!!

dye is good...

very nice inning Danks!

another opportunity wasted. hopefully it wont come back to get us.

AJP get on base any way you can for CQ!

lucky break there. make him pay.

swisher is awful....

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 29, 2008 -> 07:21 PM) not recently you dont mean, right? you mean this offseason? correct. i remember the speculation.

speaking of this series. Hour and a half before game time with no game thread! where is brian!

I was bored at work, so I figured I would gauge what people were expecting out of this semi-big series with the Rays. The Rays are currently tied for the best record in the Major Leagues. While they are very talented, they are very young as well. Remember we took 2 of 3 from them on the road earlier this year. We will be facing both their aces keep in mind in Shields and Kazmir. Having said all that I would love a split with a very hot team. What do you guys think?

the only guy i was really upset to give up in this deal was Gio.

If Swisher/Thome/Konerko continue to struggle or get hurt I would like to get any OF stick like Bradley or Ibanez.

scary but I will take the series win!
