Guillen/KW at least "PR spinning" they want Buehrle back nex
kitekrazy replied to caulfield12's topic in Pale Hose Talk
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 19, 2011 -> 11:51 AM) The 2008 season disagrees about D1 at least. Hence the word season and least. I'm not sold on giving Danks a major payday. Let someone else do it. -

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 19, 2011 -> 11:30 AM) M-56 gets asked usually at least a couple times a year if he'd like to pitch for the Cardinals and he always says yes since he was a fan of theirs, but there's never been any "The Cardinals are negotiating with Mark Buehrle" or "The Sox and Cards are talking about Buehrle" rumors. That's why I wish fans would drop that notion. Behind every player is an agent. I can't see an agent saying, "hey, since you are a fan, why not give them a big discount". -

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 19, 2011 -> 12:23 AM) Do you gamble and try to get Jackson back instead (of Buehrle)? Can we keep Buehrle AND Danks in the same rotation in 2012? Both are mental midgets compared to MB. -

BTW, are we over speculating the possibility of MB pitching for the Cards because he is a fan? The only time I ever here this is only around Sox fans. I haven't seen any other publications supporting this. -
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 09:54 PM) You could see Matt had that look like "you've got to be kidding me, right?" when he was pulled. I think there's more value there for Thornton to get out the side 1-2-3 and keep rebuilding his confidence. Then again Thornton's a veteran the other guy not so much.

QUOTE (Anderson Cooper's Quivering @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 11:04 AM) The Sox picked up his option for 2012. The option would have vested if the Sox won the division this season which is highly unlikely. If they hadn't picked up the option, he could have walked away. If the Sox don't want Ozzie to stay, they sure as hell aren't acting like it. Then again if they fire him they only have to pay for one year providing he doesn't manage for another team.
-
QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 10:03 AM) From here, it looks as if it is very important to Ozzie that he get paid for 2012 from Sox even if he manages Marlins. I'm can't see an pro sports organization setting up a contract where you are still paying a manager who is working for another team.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 09:48 PM) Pirates have been rumored to be after Francoeur and Betemit. Unless we give them Quentin, I don't see there being a match. What would they have for the Sox to pull the trigger on this?
-
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 09:31 PM) Steve Stone just said that the Pirates have a couple of scouts at the game tonight, that they are going to be buyers at the deadline, and that they are looking for a hitter. Let the speculation, begin! When he said looking for a hitter that immediately rules out the Sox.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 09:47 PM) Must win game here. Got a huge gift, and capitalized. Pierre's really been a catalyst of late. Definitely. I have no idea or trust what we are going to get from Peavy other than talk or excuses.
-
QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 09:31 PM) Can't see a big pay day for Danks especially after a bad season thus far. Maybe down the road yeah but no way is he getting a 15 million dollar deal after this year's performance, which is why he would probably wait out after next and just a sign a one yr arbritration contract. I can't really think of any other players that have similar cases to Danks to really say wat type of contract can be expected. I still think he's a mental midget. He'll get over paid just like any other above average pitcher on the market.

Were some of you deep inside wishful thinking that pitch would hit Pierre and go on the DL so we could what Vic. could do?
-
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 09:06 PM) 7 in a row retired.....13 consecutive starts where Buehrle hasn't given up more than 3 runs (at most). Amazingly consistent at this stage in his career. I'd almost rather go 2 seasons at $14-15 million (with Mark) than Danks for five years at the same money. Those huge, long-term pitching contracts are just so risky. There's a lot of intangibles that makes Mark valuable.

At times it's hard to believe the weakest teams today like the Royals were once power houses in baseball.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 08:49 PM) How do you get thrown out SO BADLY on a hanging curveball??? Yikes. Even PK could have made that look closer. I wonder if JP is unknowingly tipping off other teams when he's going to run.
-
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 08:44 PM) Very fortunate there...hard to score AJ on any ball hit on the infield. Pull and don't lift swing there. That looked like one of those RBIs the Twin use to score against the Sox in the Twinkie Dome days. I think they should have left that Davies guy in.
-
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 08:19 PM) I'm really to the point where I just want to move Pierre to CF and stick Viciedo in the line-up. That's a scary bad defense, but having 2 huge holes in our line-up, well 3 if you include the 3B position, it's just not going to work. I'm not sure the offense would be good enough to compensate for that.
-
QUOTE (The Baconator @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 07:50 PM) I actually get this game on the Royals broadcast! Too bad their announcers are a freaking bore; it sounds like their calling a round of golf. There's not much you can do with Royal's baseball. It's gotta be similar to having one of those jobs licking stamps for bulk mail.

Sox versus Tigers Game thread July 17
kitekrazy replied to southsider2k5's topic in 2011 Season in Review
QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 17, 2011 -> 02:11 PM) I understand. But with Pierre hitting .270 and going nowhere, I'd just stick Viciedo at third right now. Of course if he commits 2 errors a game that would offset anything he'd do with the bat. We're f***ed unless they trade Juan. Right...let's put a guy who is basically a DH at 3rd. -
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) That doll looks either like Brian Anderson or William Katt, The Greatest American Hero. Definitely not Dunn. More like David Letterman.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 06:33 PM) Cmon Rios, how about doing something Retire would be good.

Went the MLB Game Dat and it is stuck loading.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 05:30 PM) BTW, Indians already beating up on the Orioles, 3-0. Who'd have thought Asdrubal Cabrera would be on a pace for 25-28 homers? I'm also guessing the Twins roll right through the Royals. It will be interesting to see what moves they can make. They can still win it.

The official "end of Ozzie soon?" thread
kitekrazy replied to whitesoxbrian's topic in Pale Hose Talk
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 04:57 PM) I'm not sure if KW has the patience for a legitimate rebuilding. Hard to really say how he'd do, because he's never done more than a retooling. Regardless, if we are going to go through a 4 - 6 year rebuilding process, then we definitely need new blood throughout the organization. That includes a new GM and manager. He's been pretty bad at that as well.
