On your mark, get set, go.

Clayton Richard, you smiling son of a bitch.  One inning?  That was the best you can do?  One fucking inning?  Come on man.  You're better than that.  Oh you're not?  Well shit man, thanks for telling us.  Perhaps we can put the illegal Michael Jackson fan in your place after All Star break.  I loved your work in the post season last year, and that game at Yankee Stadium, you shut them down young man.  But 1-2 with a 10.50 ERA in your last 5 starts.  Dude, come on, you are better than this.  Perhaps you need to go back to long relief. 

Oh the other side of the coin, I love how the rotation has been working lately.  I think there is hope for greatness.  Yes, I know everyone is going to flame me for that, but I believe in this team and I have even when they were sucking.  But now a huge test awaits, the terrordome.

The Twins, my most hated team, and maybe yours too.  From the Jack Morris rebirth to Kirby Puckett.  How many times in this decade have the Twins gotten the best of the Sox?  Remember when Jamie Burke was run over by Torii Hunter?  Justin Morneau made the comment " I want anybody but the White Sox to win the division."  Ofcourse there's Punto who gets ripped on alot on this site.  By the way, where did that all begin here I was wondering?  Fill me in please.  You ever want to grab yourself a blowtorch and shoot it at those posters in the Metrodome in the outfield with all their "tribute players."  Perhaps you just want to blow the bitch up.  Thank God its closing this year. 

So here we are talking about pitcher, and let the debate begin.  Halladay needs to come to the Sox.  We will win the World Series if he does.  I say do what we need to do EXCEPT Beckham.  Beckham is a deal breaker.  I am really starting to think this kid is the real deal.  His BA spiked through the roof and he is much different than that kid I saw play Oakland.  I guess the big question is what do we have for Halladay.  You guys are the experts.  I personally am for trading whoever to get him.  We are releasing lots of payroll next year and we can use some of that on him.  He is IMO one the best pitchers in baseball and if we get him, you are looking at Doc, Buehrle, Danks, Floyd, Contreras.  Scary, scary, scary.  Add the bullpen to that mix, you are looking at the 2009 World Series Champs, the Chicago White Sox,

Just my opinion guys.  Hope you have a great weekend and here's to the Sox taking 2 of 3 from the Twins in that wretched terrordome.
