QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 03:35 PM) I think the more realistic answer is that Humber may be tiring and the Sox want to give him a 1 week break. Unlike other teams the Sox have the luxury of giving a guy a week break. This. I think people are making too big of a deal out of this. He struggled his last two starts, maybe they think he needs a break. They are gonna go through one turn of the rotation and re-assess. I'm sure Peavy will get hurt by then anyway, and Humber will be starting again, lol.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 03:11 PM) 5-3 road trip to start the 2nd half. Could've been better, but it's a start. And 4-1 against the two teams the Sox are chasing. Not gonna comment on the series loss to KC, I choose to forget about that.

Seattle is who we thought they were. That's 15 in a row with a trip to Yankee Stadium looming. Pineda seems to have hit a wall, he had struggled for a few starts before as well. But other than maybe Walden, I think the ROY award is still his.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 01:57 AM) Saturday, July 23, 2011 Posted: 10:01 p.m. CSNChicago.com CLEVELAND – After Saturday’s game against the Indians was rained out, White Sox manager Guillen was jokingly asked if Viciedo would be up by the time game was likely made up when the White Sox play at Progressive Field again Sept. 20-22. “Well if Viciedo is going to be the White Sox’s savior we will be in deep [expletive] … and you can quote me on that,” Guillen said. “If we wait for [expletive] Viciedo to be the savior, we’re in deep [expletive] if we wait for a Triple-A kid to come here and be the savior." Viciedo is hitting .307 with 16 home runs and 64 RBIs entering Saturday. “Can he help? Yes,” Guillen said. “Is he going to be the savior? I like the talent we have here.” The cat and mouse Ozzie/Kenny game keeps going on...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 23, 2011 -> 11:35 PM) Nothing to do with their scouting and player development. which is much easier when you can spend more money than anyone else

f*** the tribe

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 23, 2011 -> 02:16 PM) Lots of people I know said she was soooo talented. I was like, "Wasn't she a one hit wonder?" Yeah, 92 innocent people were just killed in Norway, but people are upset about a drug addict finishing hersef off...come on now

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 23, 2011 -> 04:20 PM) Adrian Beltre to the 15 day Dl with a hamstring strain, Chris Davis recalled. Probably means there's little/no chance of Michael Young being moved at this deadline. Chris Davis = Brandon Wood = AAAA

Today is already the wettest calendar day in Chicago history (6.91"). My basement agrees.

QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jul 23, 2011 -> 01:10 AM) They probably have the best offense in the Central. .300 hitter after .300 hitter. Pitching, however, is another story. They had three .300 hitters in their lineup Friday. (I'm not including Guillen since he has 21 ABs) Their top 3 hitters had averages of .243, .218, .240

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 23, 2011 -> 08:31 AM) No, Rios and Teahen cannot be sent down unless you're willing to DFA them, which means eating their entire contract. Which is something you have to think about doing with Teahen. Rios obviously makes too much, but buying out Teahen would cost you roughly $7 mil considering whats left this year and the $5.5 next year. He brings nothing defensively & his .600 OPS only hurts. Morel can give you the same offense with some great defense as well. If you really are serious about this season, then Teahen could be the one to go, if JR approves of course.

Desmond Jennings was called up........

Seeing the bomb pics, I was surprised only 7 died. But the numbers they are reporting from the camp are awful. He obiously seems to be a homegrown terrorist, we will see if he had any outside influence. God Bless Norge

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 11:15 PM) They could throw Verlander out there twice in the ALDS. That alone gives them a chance against anybody. Yeah, but they still have to win the divison with Penny, D. Below, and whoever else to make the playoffs. Luckily for them, the Sox offense isnt putting up much of a fight anyway.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 11:13 PM) I honestly wonder why. That is just crazy. All I could find is that the waiting period was changed from 1 year to 5 years in the 50s, right when he was eligible. Maybe they didn't think he was on the level with the Babe? I don't know. Either way, its more proof why HOF votes are absolute douchebags.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 11:12 PM) Detroit sucks ass just as much as anyone else in this division. They have Verlander and Cabrera and 23 levels of suck. Yeah, but they have a lead over the other two good teams in the division. The Twins & the Sox need to make up those deficits to win it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 10:54 PM) The one thing I am sure of is that Detroit will not win the division. Really? Then who will? I'd say the Sox but they are 4-5 games back of DET and they will have trouble making that up and DET is better than the tribe.

Seems crazy that ONLY 7 people died in the bomb blast in Oslo, yet as many as 80 died in the shootings.

JPosnanskiJoe Posnanski Something you probably didn't know unless you're a Cubs fan: Starlin Castro leads the National League in outs made AND errors.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 05:11 PM) Those first two weren't?! I had to look it up and I guess DiMaggio didn't make it til his 4th attempt. Why? I don't know, but that seems like more than your standard political statement.

Situation seems to keep getting worse. It started with a bomb in downtown Oslo and 7 dead. Then the shooting report had 10 more dead. All of a sudden, there are 80 people dead on the island where the shooting was, mostly younger people. Of course, the suspect is a tall blond Norwegian fella, very stereotypical. Seems to be a domestic political act but we will see. Still crazy cause its the biggest act of violence in Norway since World War II.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 09:42 PM) There's one..need 4 of our next 5 3 of those 4 need to be over Detroit cause I think that's who is left standing come September. Cleveland is who we thought they were, they are just hanging around cause DET/MIN/CWS all suck so bad

QUOTE (supernuke @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 06:35 PM) New Jets logo released. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/story/2011...-jets-logo.html 3 thumbs up. Awesomeness.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 10:28 PM) Time to lose Vizquel for f*ck's sake. I prefer him over Morel right now. He hits better. His defense at 3b is not as good, but he has the flexibility to play 2b/SS. Also, Morel has options and could use the ABs in the minors. A platoon of Teahen/Vizquel is ugly, but I'd prefer it if it gets Dayan a roster spot too.

Trade TCQ!
