What a coincidence - Giff - 08-28-2009
Jake Peavy is scheduled to make a rehab start on Saturday, and then he's expected to join the big league club. Assuming he gets a normal four days rest, he would be scheduled to make his first start in a White Sox uniform in....yep, you guessed it. Wrigley Field. I'm so shocked.

KW's sole purpose for trading for Peavy right there.

I asked this at soitow, but someone please explain why starting a guy who the Cubs DECLINED to trade for, will be a slap in the Cubs face?

Because there was so much want in Peavy by many fans considering it was the second straight year of a player not reeled in by the Cubs with Roberts being the other. The White Sox company line seems more concerned about the Cubs than other teams in their division. Whether it's talking shit about Wrigley or whatever. Honestly, I don't understand how Reinsdorf let's Kenny and Ozzie practically run the club the way they do. They are some of the biggest assholes in the world.

I just saw on mlb network that Peavy had to leave his minor league start tonight with elbow stiffness in his pitching arm.
That's a shame.

That's what he gets for jerking off in an alley with Ozzie, Kenny, and Crackhead Ramirez.

5 back with only 32 to go...wouldn't surprise me if they just put Peavy on ice until next year. I don't see any reason to dicker with him anymore this year. He took a ball off his elbow in his last start in Charlotte and probably shouldn't throw the rest of the year.
I'm pretty much in Bears mode now.

Do you go on Packers forums and pretend to be a Packers fan?

I'd agree that's the way to go, but KW made a pretty big gamble by trading away their fifth starter during a pennant race on the hopes that a hurt guy could come back at the end of the year and upgrade that spot considerably. It might be tough for him to admit defeat.

I wouldn't use the phrase "admit defeat" although I undestand why you do. One characteristic of Williams that endears him to the fans is the fact that he is gung ho - 100% - until it is over. While logic says it is over, and probability also says it is over, mathematics doesn't. Anything is possible. This is much less a longshot than the Rockies getting back in it a few years ago.
I don't see them getting back in it - but I would hope that they don't quit yet. As I said, it wouldn't surprise me if they do that... Fans have the luxury of quitting at this point. GMs don't. For those guys, it shouldn't be over until it is fully over. Right now it is almost over.
