I agree, there would be no better player to turn around this lineup. Unfortunately, for what the Braves are asking, he won't be dealt to the White Sox.

There's nothing wrong with Rowand, he had a season last year that was out of nowhere, and now he is reverting back to his form. Not that he is a horrible player, but his pace last year was ridiculously inconsistent from what he is...

Question is, why do the Braves deal him? They are in a tight race out east. Either Furcal's shoulder is a big problem, or Betermit is that good. I don't know. Either way, Furcal would make this team even more explosive, and give us better option off of the bench. Uribe then becomes a backup at 2B, SS, and 3B, and we aquire what would become the best 9-hitter in baseball. I don't know what we would have to give up, but I'm sure Raffy wouldn't be cheap.

I agree. The biggest mistake a GM can make is to overpay for a closer. Look at how Benitez worked out for San Francisco, or Kolb for Atlanta. Or, how Koch looked for us. The thing about closers is anyone can play the role as long as they are hot, and once a team finds a guy who can get the job done, they should ride the hot hand. This year it seems like Batista has his s*** together, and he would look really good on this team. Don't overpay for Wagner or not so Everyday Eddie.

white sox offense = s***ty

URIBE!!

that really sucks

now we're talking boys!

it would really suck if this game got called. its official.

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:05 PM) Konerko sounds like a type of dinasoar...so he cannot exist, Everett told me so. Konerkosaurus

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 09:18 AM) Jul 20 - Though the Marlins' proposed trade with the Orioles has cooled slightly, it is expected to get done, the Miami Herald reports. The deal now on the table would send A.J. Burnett and Mike Lowell to Baltimore in exchange for reliever Jorge Julio, outfielder Larry Bigbie, minor-league pitcher Hayden Penn and possibly reliever Steve Kline. wow, if that deal does go through, the orioles sure don't give up much. Julio is out of their plans, Kline is having one of his worst years, Bigbie is nothing special... the only guy I'm unsure about is Hayden Penn. I'm sure he's a good prospect, but considering what the rumors were about Contreras, Crede, and Marte having to go, plus possibly McCarthy, I don't think that can be accurate.

QUOTE(AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 02:39 PM) I just bought this a few days ago since it dropped to $50 for the rest of the season and it is awesome. I live in NJ and have gotten every Sox game so far (the Indians game and the first 2 in the Tigers series). It's great that I can switch from a Sox victory to a Twins loss. Hope this helps you. well, its awesome, ive had it before. my quandry was being able to watch the white sox game. just purchasing it does not help rectify the situation. but yeah, mlb.tv is awesome.

anyone know when this sox game should begin again? has the rain let up yet?

im watching gamecast through ESPN, does anyone recommend a better program?

QUOTE(Spiff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 12:19 PM) The address of the person who buys it doesn't matter, because the site takes your IP and determines if your in-market. So even if someone gave you their info, since you're near Chicago it wouldn't work anyway. yeah i just figured that out. i have no problem buying the thing, i just wanted to catch the sox today. ho hum, i guess its gamecast time. thanks for the input though, bros.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 10:20 AM) Where would the Reds put Koney? well, that's just it, it wouldnt happen. they have sean casey there, and why would they make that deal? they lose konerko at the end of the year. i guess it would just be a salary dump, but i dont see it happening.

hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone on this site has mlb.tv, and if they do, if they are an out-of-market subscriber so that they get white sox games? I am stuck at work today, with nothing to do, but cannot use headphones or have the speakers on. I would be deeply in debt to, and happy reward, whomever would be willing to allow me to "share" their mlb.tv name for the day. I would just order it, but doing so in-market would result in not being able to see any games anyway. PM me or respond in here.

Hey boys, I love Aaron Rowand. I'll tell you that right now. However, the way Griffey is playing right now, I think it is worth the inherent risk to make the move to get him. But it won't happen, so fuggedaboudit.

you cant win them all, but we sure have been trying. its just annoying to always see maggs on base. if hed focus like this all the time, he'd be unstoppable.

wow, all with 2 outs.

well, this one is probably f***ed.
