QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 03:15 PM) That's the thing, you probably aren't getting anything useful back for soriano with that contract. It is basically just "get him out of here" at this point, and everyone knows it I've heard that the Cubs were willing to pay almost $28 mil of the $36 mil due to him for 2013 & 2014, if they can get a good prospect. That leads to the question for inquiring teams, is a good prospect worth Soriano at $4m a year for his age 37 & 38 seasons?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 02:52 PM) Maybe my memory is fuzzy, but weren't Viciedo and Ramirez flipped in the "regular" lineup before all the recent DL stints? Yup. It was always Tank 7th, Alexei 8th. I had to double check the lineup when I was posting it, I'm so used to how it always used to be.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 01:30 PM) I really wish I could get someone to make the drive with me for this game. Baseball games alone are never fun. Make the drive solo and meet up with greg at the game?

For all the talk about how Dunn is not "clutch" and how he has never played for a winning team, he sure as hell has hit some BIG late game homers this season for the Sox.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 11:48 AM) The thing to do was always to stay in Windsor. Too bad that you need a passport to do that now. No doubt, I have been to Windsor multiple times. But I'd be going to the games with my pregnant wife, so that eliminates bascially all of the fun activities that Windsor has to offer.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 10:38 AM) September 2 at Detroit changed to 7:05...ESPN2 Same night as the season finale (mid-finale) Breaking Bad episode. f***. We were talking about driving up to DET for the Saturday night & Sunday day games, then driving home Sunday afternoon. This means I might have to spend TWO nights in Detroit? Ugh.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 10:53 AM) I would guess that either Quintana, Sale, Thornton or Septimo are being DL'd. I don't think it's Sale, because he is pitching tonight and that would put Santiago on 3 days rest & Humber pitched the last two nights.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 10:44 AM) This thing goes REALLY deep, its going to be worse than many of us thought I'm almost positive. If the entire truth comes out. Some of it may go so high up, that they will manage to keep parts of it secret.

Wow, Sox are actually 2-1 against Mendoza this season despite his 3.10 ERA.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 08:36 AM) I wonder if its Thornton. When he left the game the other night, while he was coming out anyway, Hawk said AJ wanted Robin to come out before he actually came out to remove him. I wonder if he had something wrong with him. I do remember Hawk saying that, but he never really mentioned anything else. If it is Thornton, I wonder who Soxtalk's new bullpen whipping boy will be? I rate Septimo as a 8-5 favorite.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 08:20 AM) He threw 6.1 innings on the 13th, so Saturday (the 18th) would be normal rest. I guess that means he isn't taking Sale's start today, so that's very good news.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 08:02 AM) Red Sox still? C'mon. Yeah, I'd say at this point you can call it a 6-team race for 3 spots. (One of those spots has to be DET/CWS)

When did Santiago last start? Would he be available to go 5-6 innings this weekend?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 07:21 AM) Well, you have at least four starting pitchers that you won't use that game anyway, unless you have more than 4 call-ups, it doesn't really matter. That's true, and that's why still just prefer no expanded roster at all, but you have to be willing to compromise in life, right?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 07:39 AM) Yeah, this means the Sox are going to need to make two roster moves today, assuming PK is ready to go. I would assume Hudson to the DL is one of the moves. Kind of a bad move to DFA him right after a small injury.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 11:10 PM) ESPN SportsCenter - Male fan dies at hospital after suffering cardiac arrest at Thursday's White Sox-Blue Jays game Ugh, that's brutal. RIP

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 04:44 AM) Couldn't disagree more, I like it if nothing else get to see some futuresox early and long season gives some guys a break before post-season play. Not too mention, if you have a starter go out early for whatever reason it wont cripple you for 2 or so games at the most important time of the season. That's the whole issue from a competitive aspect. For 130+ games, you have a 25-man roster and have to manage accordingly to what happens in games, like extra innings, a really bad start, injuries, etc. But suddenly for the last 30 games during crunch time, you suddenly change the rules and the way you need to manage? Playoff spots are on the line, but now it's cool if you have 30 players on your roster to play in a game, not 25 anymore. As flavum said earlier, they at least need to institute a rule that a 25-man roster needs to be submitted before every game.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 05:33 AM) who drunkenly checkjs and posts on soxtalk at 6:30 in the morning. this guyl. hectory santiago is coming back up to strike ****** out and lead us straight to that world seriies. white sox what up. I'm jealous. I wish I was drunkenly checking at 6:30 AM, instead of checking from work.

Sounds like Sale, Peavy, or Q needs a day off and will have a start skipped. Hopefully nothing serious.

The expanded roster rule is one of the dumbest rules in all of sports. Let's play by one set of roster rules for 80% of the season, but then when it gets to crunch time, let's just change it all up and let teams add extra players. /rant

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 08:22 PM) Let's see if we can get thru another game without having to use Myers. Maybe not
