Hector Santiago is one short man.

I'd like to point out, we never credit Kenny's good moves in retrospect like not resigning Rowand due to the 5th year.

QUOTE (kevo880 @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 01:13 AM) Why do Garica and Escober switch between playing 2B and SS so often? Everything I've heard says Escobar is great defensively at short so I don't understand not having him play there exclusively. Make him ready for being a utility?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 09:10 PM) Q, you're a cool dude, but WTF? Hamilton did absolutely nothing wrong. He doesn't owe that kid a damn thing. It was the fluke of all flukes. I think that was a combination of reading Passan's article and it being pointed out how Hamilton talking about he he been effected, which is fine, he should. Obviously, Hamilton owes him nothing. But then he talks about how he'll hear the kids screams all his life. But the kids dad is gone, fluke or not, and most people would in Hamilton's spot would feel responsible. And he shouldn't feel guilty, like you said it was the fluke of all flukes. But Hamilton should at the very least work with the Rangers to set up a college fund for the kid. It's like when Adenhart died, Hunter went to Adenhart's parents and told them that Adenhart's little brother could come to the clubhouse and stay with any of the players. It was like they were trying to be surrogate brothers. While Hamilton shouldn't be a surrogate father, he should at least help make sure the kid can get through college/

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 09:40 PM) If he trades Viciedo this year, there will be a f***ing riot. I will walk around the stadium tomorrow in my Viciedo shirt yelling "fock this club. I should manayer."

I laughed. They're friends and Getz probably laughed too. There was no malice in it, just friendly ribbing. It would have been funny had Getz put "Beckham is a b****" when he saw it.

After last year, I just conceded Ozzie will be here for life until he wants to leave. I love Ozzie, so I can tolerate his boneheadedness, but I wouldn't be sad to see him gone.

Bad inning for Morel...

Can we hire Joakim as a clubhouse-engergy guy during the lockout and Rose to lead off?

QUOTE (Pale Sox @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 01:51 AM) Maybe I'm being cynical, but the video I saw of Hamilton, all he talked about was himself and his support system in his time of need. It seemed like he thought this was all about him. I think you're being a bit cynical, but it gave me a thought. If Hamilton doesn't take a hand in helping look after that kid, I will hate him more than any player in any sport. I think he will and I hope I'm right.

This may be the worst story I've read in a long time. I wouldn't be able to play baseball ever again if I was Hamilton. Jesus. Hamilton will probably look after this kid for the rest of his life. Jeff Passan's article made me tear up.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 04:10 PM) If you had Smoak, you don't waste the dollars on Dunn. I like Beckham, I just wouldn't take him over Smoak. If we have Smoak, we also probably don't have Paulie and have Chris Getz or Chone Figgins at 2nd.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 02:14 PM) The center position is brutal right now. Out of the 5 guys you listed you have one superstar, a PF being forced to play C, 2 guys who are never healthy and a guy with no offensive game at all. Yeah, but for right now, Horford is a C. Bynum and Bogut are always injured, but are good when healthy. Noah was a monster until his thumb injury. When he came back, his timing was off and he was afraid to shoot his Tornado, which he was actually making before the injury.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 01:39 PM) A high upside high schooler in the first round?! That's not how the White Sox roll. Trout and Smoak or Mitchell and Beckham, that's an easy call. Really JPN? So, the Gold Glove caliber defense and slightly under 2B average offense of Gordon Beckham is worse than the .002 BA points higher Smoak who plays at an offensive position. Yes, Gordon is an easy call.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 01:57 PM) I imagine Greg Oden will be announcing his retirement this time next year. The C position will never be dominant again. Man, Yao was awesome. Sad his body couldn't handle it. Right now though, the Center position IS Dwight, followed by Horford, who would be joined by Bynum/Bogut/Noah if that trio could stay healty. Meanwhile, Rome Wasn't Built in One Day was genius by Steve Porter.

Gray, Marquez, Harrell. Gray would be nice, Harrell was awesome at the OAK game I went to last year, and Marquez? Nah, don't need him.

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 11:51 PM) Translate it any way you like. I'm not here to judge, but it is my belief that we will all stand before God one day. If you want to go before Him having never believed in Him, then I sincerely wish you the best of luck. I'm not big into the whole "force the infidels to convert" idea; it's kind of stupid, violent and intolerant if you ask me. So, you're free to believe whatever you want to believe. Doesn't change my personal belief that we will all be judged eventually. Good enough for me, it was that "that's pleasant" that sounded as if it dripped with sarcasm to me. Now that there is a lengthy, thought out descriptor, then I'll retract that statement.

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 11:37 PM) And you're an atheist. That's pleasant. You're free to face God with any reputation you like; it's not my place to change you or convert you or anything like that. So good luck. Wow. That was thinly veiled spite.

Damn.

QUOTE (soxfan72 @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 11:01 PM) The FAIL is strong with this post. Been a Sox fan for 38 years pal. As far as the Tea Party is concerned, not interested in your libtard comments either. Have a nice day.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 10:51 PM) You fail to see any sadness in the fact that the US has an agreement with Mexico and the US failed to honor that agreement? At the end of the day, I take my word seriously. If I tell you that we have an agreement, that means something. As an United States citizen I am ashamed that we told 170 countries that we would abide by a treaty and we failed to do it. Not only that, but after we were told we were in the wrong, we didnt even change our actions, we just went on our way acting like it doesnt matter, that somehow vengeance is more important then our word. That makes me sad, it makes me sad because we are supposed to be a country where there is liberty and justice for all. And that means we treat the worst of society with the same respect and decency we treat the best of society. I wonder what the people of the great state of Texas would say if an American civilian was denied rights in Mexico and executed. Would we merely say "Well Mexico has that right" or would we expect more? Would we expect that our citizen be given the rights and treatment that Mexico agreed to give them when they signed the treaty? So today I am sad, not because of the death, but because we were so hellbent on killing this man that we had to break our word to do it. And unlike you, I dont believe Mr. Leal will be going to hell, I dont believe hes going anywhere. Dead is dead. This post is masterful.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) I can't believe people took him seriously. Seriously. I just want the Federal Government to be like "Well, fine. Go for it."

Anyone got a link to the "Who in the f*** is Hector Santiago" pic?
