QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 06:47 PM) its my birthday birches! Happy birthday SCS. Drinking one for ya right now.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 06:34 PM) thanks I missed that. Happy to help. Can't wait to check out his pro debuts.

Danish looking good with five scoreless but only the one k.

QUOTE (chisoxfan310 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 05:39 PM) Rienzo sent to Charlotte. Guess Heath is coming up as a fresh bullpen arm? Seems unnecessary with 4 off days after tomorrow's game. With the way Rienzi has pitched, I'd guess the Sox are just trying someone new... again.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 05:26 PM) Haters gotta hate. He probably thinks kicking Barrett in the balls like Bobby Hill in his avatar would have been the "manly" thing to do. Lmmfao! That's some funny s*** right there my man. " that's my purse! I don't know you!"

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 05:17 PM) nice selective memory. barely flinched? he got punched and stumbled or ran away. big man that AJP is, letting Scott Podsednik fight his battle with Barrett. Seriously, did you feel this way when back then when the brawl happened? Did you hate AJ then too?

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 05:06 PM) you mean there WASNT a bench clearing brawl? lol Indeed it was and you clearly missed the point. It was a brawl that started when that idiot Barret sucker punced AJ. Might want to go back and re-watch the chain of events that day. That brawl was caused by Barrett and NOT by the actions of AJ.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 02:58 PM) wow, I must have missed something, is Rodon starting anytime soon? Last I read he would be working with coaches at Winston this week and after that possibly working out of the pen to manage this years work load. Read that on the Sox site earlier today.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 03:11 PM) And also resulting in major suspensions during a pennant race. You have to think a little bit before you react. I loved the way he took Barrett's best shot right in the jaw, barely fliinched and looked at him like " WTF is your problem?" AJ already won the battle. Retaliating resulting in major suspensions and or injuries would have been losing the war. Absolutely! Fights will happen but we arent talking about kids playing ball in the sandlot either. Sometimes you just have to do the right thing and not act as a child. That said, I'm not going to lie, when the brawl happened, I enjoyed watching it. Watching BA take down Mayberry like a rag doll and start whooping him was funny to watch.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 09:53 AM) I don't even know how to feel about it. It seems like Heath has been called up 10 times and pitched 0 times. I hear ya. Probably best not to think too long and hard on it, don't want it to interfere with me puckering my liver on a warm humid afternoon. That would be a buzz kill for sure.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 01:05 PM) getting suckered punched and not doing anything about it besides walking off the field while your teammates fight your battle is looking great? That was a puss move but not surprising coming from a guy who has been that way his entire life. No, a puss move would be AJ fighting back causing a bench clearing brawl that could get his teammates injured.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 12:18 PM) Tommy Ramone. Unbelievable to me that all of the original Ramones are dead. Wow, thanks for the flashback. R.I.P. Tommy.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 12:24 PM) That reminds me of the time AJ knocked Barrett on his ass with a clean hit as Barrett was trying to block the plate, then Barrett sucker punched AJ with his best shot to the jaw and it didn't even phase AJ. The funny thing was AJ didn't even retaliate but was suspended by MLB! AJ came out looking great on that one while Barrett and MLB looked like clowns. Haha, just another fond memory of AJ. I did enjoy enjoy AJ getting the Sox fans pumped.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 11:46 AM) Where does Greedon rank on the nickname scale? Has to be worse than Blowasavio.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 12:24 AM) Argument/s for why Tanaka should just go ahead and have surgery right now... http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/yankees/p...ble-with-tanaka Thanks for posting the article. I agree with the points made. If it were me, I'd have the surgery while I'm young and able to recoup faster.

Noesi and Carroll have been a roller coaster ride so Heath might be yet another pitcher thrown into the fire. May god have mercy.

QUOTE (Tmar @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 08:47 AM) The two guys drafted before him, and everybody after him too, took less money than greedon and signed right away (aiken was gonna sign right away remember, before he failed that physical). So they were more interested in signing and playing baseball, meanwhile rodon was more interested in getting the most money he could. Almost the exact definition of greed. Add in the fact that he hasn't pitched 1 professional inning yet he still was asking for more money. Go earn it first kid I understand where you're coming from and I don't intent to come off as sarcastic but, welcome to modern baseball.

CC is the same way. I remember seeing a photo over the winter signing his contract with his right hand.

No insult here. The foul weather fan thing is just a reference to the Chicago weather in April. Essentially, it sucks!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 08:59 AM) Pitch all the lefties. Hell yeah! Sign Lester this winter and complete the all left handed rotation. The world will be owned by the white Sox then.buwahahahaha Edit: not serious about signing Lester.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 09:14 PM) Don't tell me what I can and can't do. All these years people have told me I was nuts when I would tell them society is all kinds of backwards. You my friend just confirmed they are the ones that are nuts. So does the horse push the cart or the cart pull the horse? QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 12:14 AM) No. He's a LHP. He's also a potential ace and will most likely be in the rotation at some point next season. Checkout some you tubes if you get a chance. Two of the best sliders in baseball pitching on the same staff is just sooo sexy! QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 12:31 AM) Great nugget I heard tonight. They were asking upwards of 7. Thats what took so long. That explains it. Thanks for the nugget.

The official statement won't come from the Sox til they get the results from Rodon's physical. Can't put the cart before the horse.

Ouch. That's a big bite in the ass. Wonder if Hahn has heard from Cashman yet.
