HIP HIP HOOORAY!!!!
Kenny is such a fucking genius.....
The White Sox should be a GENUINE contender in this pathetic Division every year.
Great to see the team get over .500 by August 1 with the fifth highest MLB payroll.
Kenny is a one trick pony....WIN NOW and this idea of this blowhard dismantling the roster is laughable......EVERY season he runs his mouth.

All in all I don't like it. The Teahen part is great because it opens a roster spot (which should go to Viciedo) but I don't understand trading Jackson for 2 pitchers. The pitching staff is not better after this trade. They need another middle reliever but there are options in the minors in Gregory Infante and Addison Reed.

Keyser, they've now got to find an emergency starter for the finale of the Red Sox series this weekend in the wake of this deal, let alone when the Yankees visit "The Cell" next week. After tomorrow's off day, the White Sox play 17 games in a row before their next scheduled off day.

It's not better. Yuu just got something for a guy you weren't going to re-sign. You saved money. Win.

Don't they also have 2 doubleheaders in September? They'll be scrambling around for starters then too unless this Stewart kid can step in. Trading pitching depth = a bad idea.

The could land a motherlode for Danks and Floyd and still come back with Buehrle, Sale, Peavy, and Humber going into next season.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

To answer a previous question, because of Saturday's rainout in Cleveland, the White Sox do have 2 day-night doubleheaders on tap in September. It'll be definitely be a long day's journey into night on Labor Day at Target Field vs. the Twins, and I think 2 weeks later when the Sox make their last visit to Cleveland's (Not So) Progressive Field vs. the Indians. Will the Indians still be in the race when that twinbill is played?

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Rosters expand by then. Probably not a big deal guys.

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Did anyone else find the "announcement" on Rios a little strange and dumb?
Why say anything? why not just put De Aza out there and give the standard "we'll give time to whomever is playing hot" thing until at least after the trade deadline so as not to KILL all value, or hell you're gonna put him on waivers, don't you want some nitwit to pick him up off that wire?

The Blue Jays have acquired starter Edwin Jackson and utility man Mark Teahan from the Whtie Sox in return for reliever Jason Frasor and minor-league reliever Zach Stewart. However, sources tell CBSSports.com senior writer Danny Knobler that the Blue Jays are working on sending Jackson to St. Louis in exchange for center fielder Colby Rasmus. According to Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch the Cardinals will not only get Jackson, but also relievers Octavio Dotel and Marc Rzepczynski. According to sources, there is a tie-up with the money involved in the Cardinals-Blue Jays end of the deal, which is holding the deal up.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

What was the Rios announcement?

Doesn't seem like the Sox are getting much in return for Jackson

Im pretty hammered right now.

So if they won yesterday? None of this would be happening?

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

They actually announced that he was being benched.

More than they'd get from him walking away after the season.

One of the keys to good management is consistency. The Sox like talk a good game about respect for the player and all that bullshit and then they announce a benching?
