The Sox should not bring back the following players under any circumstances:
Jake Peavy
Matt Thornton
Gavin Floyd

Thornton and Peavy won't be back.

Who do you think they can get to be as good as Floyd for $9 million or less?

Hawk needs to stop with the Jake is battling stuff. He may battle, but that's because of his own shittyness. You reworked your staff for another bad start.

How about anyone from the Royals or Orioles pitching staffs?

Battling his way to another loss. Yet another game where he couldnt outpitch his opponent.

Who is available?

They should just physically take them from either team. Remember, we're in Chicago so anything is possible.

Seriously, I don't know who is available, but there must be upgrades out there besides these shitbuckets. I want to punch Thornton in the face whenever he lopes out to the mound.

There's no reason to go to Thornton in key spots now that it's September and you can carry as many pitchers as you want.

Floyd is a bargain at $9 million for next season. You probably aren't going to replace his production and you certainly aren't going to replace his potential for that money.

I think Liriano is the guy you want to work on bringing back. He's probably significantly cheaper than Peavy and if he can cut down the walks a little, he's a real premium guy. If you could get him for three years at $30-33 million, I'd do it quick.

Liriano makes sense, but can they leave Thornton of the the playoff roster? I don't give a fuck about what Rongey says, Thornton is pure shit.

The definition of insanity: pitching to Cabrera every time and expecting a different result.

Am now ripping out some UNCHAINED. Let's get this thing going SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The White Sox are more like the Gary Cheron era.

100 pitches in 4 innings is pretty awesome.

This team is running out of gas and luck.

I don't like white rappers.

What sucks is that Detroit finishes the last 10 games of the season against the Royals and Twins.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

Yeah but the Royals are rolling.

I don't like white rappers.

Are they really that good though?

Quite possibly the best description of the 2012 Sox I have heard yet.

Good question. They seem to be "finding themselves" as a team and could be spoilers.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.
