QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:29 PM) Not saying I am upset at the notion that De Aza is gonna get most of the PT in CF for a while... but why did this team wait so long to make a change? I mean seriously, I don't know if he would have done s***, but couldn't we have made this change like almost 2 months ago? Maybe because baseball is a long season and many players are more streaky than consistent. None of it would matter if they didn't dig such a big hole in the beginning of the season.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 05:59 PM) The thing that depresses me the most...no matter what we do with these deals.... we're stuck with friggin Rios for WAAAAAY too damn long. If there's some decent production from De Aza, it won't bother me at all.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:24 AM) Good luck to Jackson, he always seemed like a good guy in the clubhouse and it seemed he knew how to have a good time. If Boras wasnt his agent I think he may have resigned here. Or he may not have been traded so often.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:19 PM) I understand the salary differential but at least Soriano can occasionally hit...even hits a few out of the park here and there. Rios is literally as good as an NL pitcher right now. He would make an interesting leadoff hitter. That's where he hit most of his homeruns. All players can occasionally hit until they come to this organization. It would be the sequal to Adam Dunn. Plus Sorianno's D is terrible.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:11 PM) Balance out the dollars and see if the change of scenery does anything for either player. A player needing a change of scenery doesn't seem to benefit this organization.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:11 PM) If the Mariners hadn't of cut Milton Bradley earlier in the year, that could have been your deal for Rios. It's a player in a situation like Soriano or where Bradley was earlier in the year that I expect a deal to happen for at some point. It's two teams just moving dead weight. Balance out the dollars and see if the change of scenery does anything for either player. Sorianno's contract might be the worst out there.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:01 PM) Are you an alcoholic? We just need one that's a GM.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 02:55 PM) Pitching change for the third out. I am always worried we are messing with success in these situations. But, I guess it has been succesful too Herman Franks use to do it all the time when he had Bruce Sutter.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 02:48 PM) God our offense sucks. The offense today was provided by a minor leaguer.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 02:43 PM) Taking the bat out of your most dangerous hitter's hands is a no-no. That's not even to close to have your least dangerous hitter batting cleanup.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 02:36 PM) Juan Pierre is so fast. e's on the bases His speed has really regressed once he's on the bases. Looked like Dunn was out there.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 02:13 PM) By what standard? Minnesota's pen has more losses and a worse ERA, and given up an OPS 0.027 higher. I wonder what their ERA is for the past two days? Is it possible for an ERA to go that high.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 02:02 PM) f***ing Betamit. Why didn't he play like that in a Sox uniform?? Funny how he was a Sox killer wearing the uniform and Kenny trades him for another Sox killer wearing the uniform.

So if they won this series, when was the last time they had a winning homestand?

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 01:39 PM) I have a feeling De Aza is here to stay. I say he bats leadoff next year. I have this fear Kenny will trade him for someone like Tori Hunter.

QUOTE (prospectguy @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 12:40 PM) Probably going to move another starter. If they moved Danks, they could get a decent haul I would think. I guess it would depend on who they get. Moving another starter puts them in the direction of a white flag. One of the starters can't get past the 70 pitch mark.

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 09:29 AM) Maybe they are returning Rios to Toronto. Hope they still have the receipt. :pray :pray :pray :pray Awesome post!

QUOTE (WHITESOXRANDY @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 06:24 PM) Definitely out. This team is built to dissapoint. I would much rather see young kids with some life in a complete rebuild. You picked the wrong organization. With Kenny as GM he's already got the system were a rebuild would take a loooooooooong time.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 06:52 PM) If they do good for him and I hope they tell that D Bag Rios to sit down the rest of the season. That could be it. There might be an attitude situation and the organization is quiet about just in case some other naive GM wants to take a chance. I wonder what % the Sox are will to pay on his salary? Even if they could get someone to take 35% that frees up some money.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 10:35 PM) This team is so unlikeable. At least this week they haven't appeared lifeless.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 10:33 PM) I think 99.5% of the games are on the players. It would be hard pressed to get anyone to bite on that theory around here.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 10:28 PM) it actually is scary how many former players come back to beat he Sox The Sox are still gettin raped from that Swisher deal.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 10:20 PM) This loss is on Ozzie's mis-managing the pitching. I tend to go with the pitchers not getting the job done. It was one of the most consistent guys in the pen that allowed the leading run to score.

if it was to go into extra innings, they might have left him in for the 10th

It 's nice to see two starter that go after hitters instead that nibble, nibble, nibble...crap.
