Here is the ESPN Insider about Giles. Notice who he can be traded to..

The other problem would be that Giles has already said once that he would exercize his no trade clause if the Sox were involved.

Wow. Is it just me, or did it seem MUCH worse than that? He had the 2nd worst run support in the AL at one point, that is why he was struggling at first. Plus in May he had that awful start against the Twins (9 or 10ER) that totally skewed his era for the month.

Borchard isn't that expensive right now. His big expense was his $5.3 mil signing bonus, and that has long since been paid.

The Pirates won't take anyone with a salary, unless it is paid. They want prospects. We would have to give them guys like Jeremy Reed, Joe Borchard, Kris Honel, Neal Cotts, Jon Rauch, etc

So the question is who would you rather see, Roy Halliday or some AAA soft tossing RHP that the Jays call up at the last minute to face the Sox? (And death is not an option)

My question is WTF is Atlanta thinking? Big Dog for Terrell Brandon? Is KW moonlighting in the NBA?

Spreewell can't handle being the best player on a team, that is obvious to me.

STAY OFF OF THE SIDEWALKS IN NYC!!!

You are just begging for a 5 game losing streak with a topic like this pinned! Way to tempt the baseball gods.

Frank isn't going to hit .300. He pretty much said he has no interest in doing it, because he is going to go for 500 homers instead.

We will learn a lot about the guts of this team when we start the tough stretch of play.

He said the day we won the first game of the streak. He also said they could dye it any color they wanted.

Thank god for the tiebreaker

Blake with a sac fly to make it 5-2 Sox, and Colon is done. Marte enters the game. 2 outs in the 8th.

107 pitches now for Colon as he faces Blake.

5-1 Sox now as Crisp hits his 3rd double of the day.

One out walk for Roberto gets erased on a Jose GIDP, on to the 8th we go, 5-0 Sox.

Meh, with 5 runs I give him an inning. If it gets tight we still have Damaso fresh.

Send Colon out for the 8th and see how many pitches he throws. If he gets over 110 pitches let Koch take the 9th.

Daubach walks, Jason Boyd comes on to pitch and gets Graffy to GIDP. End of 6 innings of play, 5-0 White Sox.

8-0 now, top of the 7th
