QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 03:49 PM) Wow...good thing we didn't trade him for AGon. Can't hit in the majors if you can't hit fastballs Gordon. You just unearthed a painful memory for me. Imagine Gonzalez in a White Sox uniform right now instead of Dunn. I bet Beckham plus another prospect or 2 would have gotten it done too. But nooooo... Nobody wanted to trade the "Bacon Slayer". My God.

Sometimes I really want Adam Dunn to retire. Like right now.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:17 PM) The rays are trying tio trade Upton. Reports are they are convinced he will never be a major league hitter. Lots of talent but low production No way I want BJ Upton. It's like the Rios experiment all over again. No thanks.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:32 PM) Rios has, what, about $33M remaining on his deal? I would think the Sox would be eating around $20-25M of that, right? 25 Million? You might as well keep him. [flameproof suit on]

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:19 PM) If a graphic designer can scoop the Jackson trade, hell, this might be legit. If the Brewers take Rios, holy hell would that be great. Yeah if the Sox don't have to eat that contract.

I'm feeling good. Things are looking up.

Does Teahen get a standing ovation next time he plays at U.S. Cellular?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:21 PM) I also like The Office back in 2005. It's lame now. But if someone asked you how you overall how you liked the show, you would probably say you liked it in the past even though it is dated now. I do like Ozzie, but I think his time here may have passed. I'll always have fond memories of him winning here after he's gone.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:17 PM) Why? You loved him in 2005 too. Don't act like you didn't.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:15 PM) Sox lead the WORLD in losses after leading after 6 innings and I said losses not blown saves! Have you seen those Nippon Ham Fighters?

Ah s***. Man I love Oz, but I keep catching myself thinking about Sandy Alomar Jr. or Dave Martinez in a Sox uniform again and it gives me happy feelings.

He's a good guy that just didn't pan out here in Chicago. I wish him nothing but the best - unless he somehow ends up in a Twins uniform.

f***ing Betamit. Why didn't he play like that in a Sox uniform??

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 02:52 PM) Carlos doesnt want to go to the Phillies it seems He wouldn't be able to stop it either, would he?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 02:39 PM) f*** this divison is bad. That's what is so frustrating about this season. The 2006 team would be close to clinching a playoff berth.

I have a feeling De Aza is here to stay. I say he bats leadoff next year.

It sounds like Danks is on a roll today.

Alex Rios just swallowed his gum.

I remember someone posting "Ladies and Gentlemen... Edwin f***ing Jackson after being lights out in one of his starts when he first got here. I was excited. Good luck Edwin... I wish you much success.

I barely noticed he was missing. Well I hope he comes back well next year.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 10:17 AM) How do you mean? Obligatory means required, and most of these types of posts are pretty normal/necessary in a thread like this. I wasn't talking about the word "obligatory", I was talking about all of the other words used incorrectly - some even by me

Obligatory incorrect use of a word in a post, post.

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 07:46 AM) It's kind of the reason why I have been a member sonce 2004 and still don't have 1000 posts yet. I still look at the board on a daily basis and want to keep up with things.............and I do appreciate everyone that searches for and posts bits of information on the team and it's players..........but I catch myself reading less and less. Sure................I know I'll get ragged on by numerous members for posting this...................but geeze.............it kind of reminds me in the past of dating a certain girl. If you go out on a date, and the girl does nothing but B%&ch and moan and whine throughout the entire date............you WILL AVOID HER in the future and say to yourself "Man....what the heck is up with her? What's her friggin' problem???" Granted......Maybe it's a stupid analogy, but you get the point. We all have our share of job/school/personal struggles and frustrations that we have to put up with everyday........so why would I continuously want to read on a daily basis everyone elses RAG sessions and add to it? I DO READ the informative threads and I do thank everyone for that. In a nutshell I hate winter and every season........I can't wait for March! I like baseball. I like the Sox. So..............I'll try and enjoy whatever I can out of it. Don't get me wrong...........I am very displeased at the way we are playing with the team potential that we have......................and at times.......I do post my disappointments in some areas. But to make it a hobby, and let it consume and saturate my life on a daily basis..............no thanks! One last thing. I agree with a post that is few above mine that is on this thread. Months of ragging on why Vicirdo is not coming up ...............and the first time he goes 0 for 10.....................there will be "Get rid of this bum" threads posted incessantly on the board for days on end. As ridicuolus as it may seem now...................I'm still holding out hope in taking the division and then everyone finally getting hot when it counts....................in the playoffs! (Now that I've said my peace 1...2....3....."Fire away boys!!! ENJOY!!!!!) This post needs a few more periods...

I never thought I'd find myself saying this, but maybe it IS time to try Viciedo and De Aza. DL Dunn and Rios, bring the kids up and see what happens. Who knows... maybe they'll be the much needed spark for this offense.

Omar Vizquel is 44 years old. If he can play that long then I think Ichiro could too.
