Take that, all you whiners and know-it-alls who were calling for KW's head over a bunch of unsubstantiated reports from unnamed sources. Maybe you'll learn your lesson and give KW the benefit of the doubt next time until anything official is announced.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 5, 2007 -> 05:14 PM) It absolutely will be Jose Contreras (he's the first to go, imo, and than as the deadline approaches either Buehrle goes or one of Jon/Javier goes if he gets an amazing offer, otherwise Kenny holds off till the off-season to move the 2nd pitcher). Kenny is going to have a harder time trading Jose after his 86-88mph fastballs last night. The Sox may do well if they can straighten his mechanics out over the next couple of weeks and he can have a couple of strong outings before the deadline.

If Paulie were a horse he'd be in the glue factory by now--along with Thome and Dye.

Sox win 8-4.

Sox win 8-4.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 2, 2007 -> 10:25 PM) You play the season to make the playoffs and to win the world series. The only difference between the 90 win that misses out of the playoffs and the 56 win team is a draft position. I want them to win because I am a fan. Rebuilding teams worry about momentum going into the next season. Championship teams, will look at this year as a blip in the radar, and will try to come out proving that the critics are wrong. It's much easier for a 90 win team to attract quality free agents than it is for a 56 win team to do so.

Per Reifert:

Tonight's Lineup Gonzo, LF; Iguchi, 2B; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; AJ, C; Dye, RF; Fields, 3B; Terrero, CF; Uribe, SS. Buehrle pitching. Expect Scott P to head to the DL tomorrow with Jerry Owens taking his place. That song and dance is getting old.

Zambrano is young and he's been a horse. Any team would love to have him in their rotation. Some team will pay big bucks to have him.

Boone is OK in my book.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jul 1, 2007 -> 05:14 PM) 6-1 on the road trip 10-18 for the month - fourth-lowest winning percentage in 50 years for June We're playing 1.000 so far in July!

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jul 1, 2007 -> 04:30 PM) Holy crap. Two series wins in a row! Too bad it came at the end of our stretch of sub .500 teams Better now than never!

Nice win.

Now for a nice, boring bottom of the ninth. Please!

I'll never buy another Heinekin until they do away with this commercial.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 1, 2007 -> 04:10 PM) I f***ing love Boone Logan. Lefties everywhere are his b****. Yep.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 1, 2007 -> 04:07 PM) wow, Terrero isnt the sharpest tool in the shed. WTF is he stealing with Thome up? That wasn't Terrero. But your point is well taken. I wonder if that was supposed to be a hit and run the way Thome swung at that pitch. Either way, it made no sense.

Whew!!! Another good job by Gonzalez. Thome needs to come through here. We need an insurance run. Crap.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 1, 2007 -> 03:37 PM) I'm just grateful that we didn't extend his deal. Jermaine Dye had two of the most memorable seasons in Sox history his first two years here, and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and just forget about this year once he's traded. KW certainly deserves credit for not signing Dye, Iguchi and Crede to big contract extensions before this season as many would have liked. Smart moves by Kenny. He knows what he's doing.

Nice play, Paulie.

Sweeney will have to be called up now. The only question is who goes on the DL, Pods or Dye? Way to go, Paulie!
