QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 12:26 PM) I think that would take Florida opening up the talent pool. Then again, how willing is Kenny/JR willing to part with Ozzie?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 11:41 PM) Seriously, this team is drawing me back in again and that scares the s*** out of me because I know it's just going to end in heart break. The W did not hide the typical mental midget breakdown they are known for. Lillibridge proves again he is a dumb base runner. Beckham needs to stop the Adam Dunn impersonations. De Aza is awesome. Will Walker ruin him? Plus he's made Rios play better. Hawk mentioned how the pen had 19Ks, but once again too many metal midgets. We should be more impressed with the Indians than the Sox after this game. You don't see any quit in them and the strength of their team is not on pitching.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 02:58 PM) If they bring back Ozzie and add Zambrano to the mix, I can't even imagine my reaction. I may kill a person. A change of scenery to the Sox = major regression. Even Z would get worse. If such a thing were to happen, I may be all out until a new GM is in place. Odd how the organizations that are consistently good at baseball aren't jumping at this opportunity.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 09:35 PM) strike zone is getting weirder and weirder Good thing since the pen can't seem to find it.

QUOTE (Bighurt52235 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 04:36 PM) I'm not so certain that the AL Central winner will "get molested" in the playoffs. Baseball is so different than other sports. If you put the 2010-2011 Cavaliers in the NBA Playoffs, I think they go 0-1,000,000. In a million trials. If you put the Orioles in the playoffs this year, I think they can win more than 1% of the time. Any decent team, (Tigers, Sox, Indians) should be able to win 10%, even without taking into account if they're hot heading into October. The Twins have kinda blown that theory.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 01:20 PM) So which team, the recently .500ish Tigers or the recently .450ish Indians is going to go on a .550ish tear to win those 89 or 90 games? I just don't see it. 87 wins at most wins this division. 83 wins is realistic for this division. When I was watching the Tigers play the Indians, the Detroit announcers were talking about how the team isn't even playing .500 in the division. If the Sox don't win this divsion, I'd rather see the Indians do it.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 07:32 PM) I would take the Big Z for the minimum with no leash. He screws up once, he's gone. I do think he will be playing for Ozzie eventually. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2011/08/unlo..._medium=twitter Lot of former Sox there.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 01:13 AM) Zambrano and AJ on the same team....hahhaaaa...yeah...that'll work. What's really sad is Zambrano is still a better hitter than Rios and Dunn right now...and Beckham. Cooper has openly opposed Z coming to the Sox. The last thing you want to add to an under achieving team is an under achieving cancer.

QUOTE (since56 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 04:40 PM) Another batter hit and again no retaliation. Pitch inside all you want to the White Sox. Your guys are safe. The Sox never retaliate. QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 04:53 PM) You know we get a free baserunner for those, right? Bad ptichers hit batters and there are batters who like to be close to the plate. I doubt any pitcher intentionally hits anyone on the Sox. It's not like this team has creamed any pitcher.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 03:38 AM) I would overpay Mark Buehrle. Me too. He fields his position and holds runners on base. Just because he's a Cards fan has no meaning on the business side of baseball.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 04:13 PM) Take this for what it is worth. Spoke with my guy on 35th today. This is the only scenario he knows that has been discussed. 1.) Guillen/Cooper out (presumably will go to Florida) 2.) Williams moved up or moved out. 3.) Hahn new GM. 4.) La Russa/Duncan hired. La Russa/Duncan hire would mean no rebuild. Guillen and Duncan have to get out of their contracts.

Wow that one at bat really was a gift.

here comes another tease

Are the Sox the only team in baseball that can't beat the Royals?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 09:14 PM) runs,runs,runs,runs,runs runs !! get some ! I don;t know about the team but for yourself a few doses of Exlax would help.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 08:43 PM) So it seems that teams outside of the sox do score on Bruce Chen. I'd place my money on Birmingham and Charlotte before the Sox.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 08:42 PM) we're 8 games under .500 at home this year don't know why i believed this might be different. GZZZZZZZZZ. PUH LEAAAAAZ WIINN FUUUUUUUUUUUU Always keep this as a reminder.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 08:39 PM) And the most infuriating thing will be when our hitters fall over themselves to complement Chen. Now according to Stone, Chen is Mark Buerhle. Okay that's not water they give to the announcers, it's bourbon. Chen will be the Sox new Mark Teahen. Kenny will be gettin this guy in the offseason. History shows even Coop can't fix a Royal.

The thing I hate about Sox vs. Royals is I get confused on which team is really the Royals.

QUOTE (hawksox13 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 08:17 PM) I'd like to hear one logical/reasonable/sane reason why anyone thinks this Sox team is going to win this division. Not. Going. To. Happen. Detroit is not playing .500 in the Central. Chances are good it won't be the Twins. Cleveland could win this.

Wow, I see they came close to pissing that game away. I still don't see Danks getting that big pay day. What's gotten in to Alex Rios? Maybe he's finally making up for all of that bad play.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 02:09 PM) Still a long way to go...... This is only one series Still have trouble beating Baltimore, KC.

Wow that at bat made even Dunn look not so bad.

QUOTE (Unknown @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 07:20 PM) Should have gotten a kings ransom for Danks at the deadline. That's only if a GM offers one.

Watch this change blow up on Ozzie. I wanted Sale to stay in.
