We don't need Peavy we got Floyd

The White Sox offer to San Diego for Jake Peavy remains on the table in hopes that the former Cy Young Award winner will change his mind and waive his no-trade clause.

“When it happens in the third week of May and you’re forced to make a decision so quickly that affects your entire family, I think it’s probably a wise thing for him to take a step back, review the situation, and go from there,” White Sox general manager Ken Williams said Friday. "But we won’t, as I explained to him, we won’t sit around.

“We’ve got business to take care of. We’ve got to right our ship. So we’re not going to sit around waiting for this, but who knows what will happen in the future?”

Peavy apparently wanted to mull the decision for several days, but Williams had only a 72-hour window to talk with him because it would involve contract issues. …

but i’m not responsible for front paging it

It was great to meet you all! Much gratitude to Diablo for providing the party space! Lets do it again soon.

good writeup

i like how the headline is also part of the article.
that rules.
im pretty sure larry front paged this.
at the meet up:

someone: do you think wtgtd will really write a recap?

larry: i dont know, but if he does, im front paging it.

then he fired up his 1963 Harley Davidson pan head and rode a bad ass wheelie out of the parking lot.

so fun to meet you all. nobody looked like they were supposed to, except wu, larry (only from site accounts), and if you force me, colin (but shoulda been long brown hippie hair, not blonrownd).

also, I better get a fucking recap from TAEG. DO NOT make me ask again.

also, cheat is sneaky with the fireworks guy. a real damn journalist!

also, mr chiburb shoulda met more people.

also, word on the street is furby is young. I may have broken laws.

also, carl! he’s like almost as cool a book seller as the other imaginary book seller we all know about.

also, I think LT drank enough to get scolded by HSA but HSA was drunk enough not to scold. all is well.

also, U-god does indeed smell like he had his arms up a horse recently.

this was by far the best one could hope from a meetup with strangers.

LT… = man that guy us a grinder… He just oozed enthusiasm. If we had a softball team… He’s my CF (rowand)

I’m very happy to have made it home safely albeit at 103 am. Just a fantastic time. Great to put faces with all the names… and it was probably the best game of the year that no one watched…I suggest next year, an earlier pregame… or an outing that has nothing to do with a game. Either way deal me in….

Thanks HSA for making this possible…

I am thinking golf tourny or wiffle ball or something… i am sure someone will give a proper recap of the evening but, i think that am/pm sums it up best……

Too much good stuff.

YAY SOX YOU FUCKIN BEAT THE PIRATES

Kinda hungover today, not gonna lie. I ended up drinking more at my sisters place

the NL actually won a few games last night

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen will leave the team following Friday’s contest with Pittsburgh in order to return to Venezuela to be with his ailing father-in-law. Guillen plans to come back to Chicago on Sunday, although it’s not certain whether he will be present for the series finale.

Early Tailgate photo

I found a white sox 2009 media guide and magazine… Please contact me if this is yours… I will be more than happy to mail it to you.

since you were all drunk ill tell you

his stance has gotten so wide it looks like he’s trying to take a dump on the plate
I don’t know if that’s him trying to deal with his foot or what, but it looks awful

You came through, even though you didn’t stay sober, and gave us what we needed (much like Flyod last night, I suppose).
