QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 13, 2011 -> 10:16 AM) You also have the "readjusting to AL pitchers" dilemma with Beltran. He's been out of the AL Central so long, he would be behind the 8 ball catching up...and you know with how good our scouting is, well, it would seem a better fit to add players who are already familiar with the opposition, since the advantge almost always goes to the pitchers. Right but hey we've had so much bad luck so far something has to go right for us. But if we absolutely bomb these next few series against the Royals and Indians whats the point? Who would the Mets want from us anyway for Carlos?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 13, 2011 -> 09:58 AM) Looks like with Beltran available that will cool down the CQ market a bit. The White Sox are one of the teams being listed as potentially interested in paying Mr. Beltran $6 million to play out the remainder of the season. Guess he'd have to play CF again in that scenario...which would continue to the trend of the White Sox acquiring veteran CFers who aren't really fit for everyday play at that position anymore (Mackowiak, Erstad, Griffey Jr., etc.) I like Beltran but we have to decide if we are going to be able to contend or not and go from there. These next few series will tell which one were going to do. I have absolutely no problem trying to upgrade if where right back in the division race. But if we continue to lose to AL Central teams then forget it.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writ...ml?eref=writers This was from yesterday but I didnt see it posted yet. Not surprising,but what does everyone want for him?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 12:31 PM) I'm not saying anything will happen mind you... Just that it isn't strange that nothing has happened yet. Yeah I gotcha. I didnt even think about that possibility that there would be some sort of stoppage for moves. Makes sense though.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 12:25 PM) Actually the sentiment is not true. Usually there is a blackout on that stuff until after the ASG, so that nothing takes away from it. Aha well that would make sense.

Yeah if they were going to do anything it would have been done on Monday

Dont get the hate for Jordan Danks. His defense is obviously major league ready and he is improving offensively.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 07:57 PM) I agree wholeheartedly, unfortunately. Yeah its gonna be stay the course straight into the ground

She deserves that grade

QUOTE (Cali @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 05:56 PM) 0-2 now with a ground out now. 4 LOB He sucks... Im sure Ozzie has that in his list of excuses for him not being on the team.

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 05:47 PM) lmao, i should bump the 'we can still turn it around in the second half' posts from the last 4-5 years we know what we have, a team that plays poorly in the 2nd half Not to mention its more than the half way point. So its not like its still early.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 04:35 PM) So you mean you weren't joking the first several times you posted this??? Ozzie wears number 13. So they named the thirteen game package the "Ozzie Plan". People paid for thirteen games. They get thirteen games. No bait and switch involved. That said, you really are kidding around, right??? I thought he was kidding to

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 04:21 PM) Not a chance...financial implications wouldn't allow this to happen even if Jerry wanted to do so. explain

Rios ground out...

So this Adam Dunn guy isnt to good

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 03:34 PM) Yes. Ok just making sure I dont need to get my eyes checked

So....on MLB.com I just looked at this at bat by Pierre.Did that ump just call a ball that was a fastball right down the middle?

Gordon has been showing signs of life at the plate lately.Which is good change of pace from Dunn who looks like a zombie at the plate.

Horrible at bat by Teahen

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 03:27 PM) Don't know if anyone saw this, but Viciedo starting tonight. World Team 1. CF, Sterling Marte, PIT 2. 2B, Jose Altuve, HOU 3. 1B, Yonder Alonso, CIN 4. DH, Dayan Viciedo, CWS 5. 3B, Alex Liddi, SEA 6. RF, Alfredo Silverio, LAD 7. LF, Chih-Hsien Chiang, BOS 8. C, Wilin Rosario, COL 9. SS, Hak-Ju Lee, TB Lol the World Team manager found a place to play him

AJ has been having a good year batting wise

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 03:22 PM) That's not sad at all. Most of us don't get to see him. And then you get to see some of the elite young prospects in the game as well? I can't wait. Yep

Cant complain about Crain this year. He has been great.

Sad part is I was looking forward to seeing Viciedo play over the Sox today
