The only thing that matters now is that the AL wins the All-Star game so we get home field in the World Series. |

I just threw the Boston one on because it directly preceeds Detroit and Minnesota and it makes the dates in August and September the same. Each Tiger/Twin game is twice as important as each Yankee or Red Sox game. |

few reports saying Cliff Lee was there for the taking if the sox would have given up Beckham, i have to asume this shows that the Sox are going to acquire pitching before hitting, can oswalt possbily be an option |

I would be more interested in the Sox fleecing the Cubs for their mental case (and I really don't want that to happen either). I am still more interested in a left handed power bat. 2005 proved that you only need 4 competent starters to win, and most teams have proven that you can do it with 3. If they can survive the second half with quality starts from Sweaty Freddy and get something out of Hudson, they can do some damage in the playoffs as long as the lineup is balanced. I know they didn't have a true left handed power bat in 05, but Crazy Carl the dinosaur hater was a better left handed bat than Mark Kotsay. |

We need that big bat. Supposedly Dunn is perceiving a lack of interest from the Nationals and starting to waiver on signing an extension with them. I know a team in which he would fit in great with. |

Well, I still think this team is good enough to win at least one game on the road in the World Series. It would have been easier with home field advantage but this team can overcome it. It would be nice if they ended up winning it as a home game too so the entire city could enjoy it. |

It's not like the 10-game road trip that killed the White Sox season a year ago when they went to Minnesota, Boston & New York at the end of August into early September, but this is a tough road trip to start the second half of the 2010 regular season, especially at the end. The SCORE's Laurence Holmes actually brought up a valid point last night about the three game series at what Ed Farmer refers to now as "Mount Davis" in Oakland. LoHo can't stand the sightlines at the Oakland Coliseum, the constant horn that blows, along with arguably the most generous foul ground in Bud Selig's Major League Baseball. Bad things always happen to the Sox out there in Oakland in particular, and that ends the road trip July 23-25. |

As a Cubs fan, I am rooting for the White Sox. What they have done the last Month is remarkable. I just hope the Sox success doesn't mean more air time for Ozzie Jr & Onie. |
