Around SBN: Knicks 90, Raptors 87: "Shump and Lin wouldn't let us lose."

Ken Griffy Jr. to White Sox pending his approval

Ken will be heading to the White Sox if he approves of the trade.  No players from the White Sox have been mentioned in the trade as of yet.

I can't see why he wouldn't approve of the trade.  He doesn't have a ring yet, and the White Sox might be his best bet of getting one. 

Let the great Deadline Bonanza Begin!

Interesting to see who leaves CHISOX....

They have the corner OF’s set, 1B looks good and so does DH. Does he go to CF at the age of 38?? I think there is something more to this trade, just my gut feeling.

they said that

griffey will play CF and swisher will play 1B

If it's prospects...

then I can’t see Street heading to Chicago as they won’t have anyone left.

What I think might be going down is.....

Street to the White Sox, Cabrera to the Dodgers, LaRoche and Swisher back to Oakland. That’s why we haven’t already called up Barton for 1st base.

The equation

for the Chisox is like Swish+Cabrera=Street? Not good for them.

We need ATTITUDE!!!

Bring back Swish…the current roster is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz boring.

The swinging (and missing) A's of 2008!!

Amen

Yes, this current team is lacking in personality. It’s one thing to lose a ton of games, but when you run a bland team out there everyday, playing for a bland manager…things aren’t just interesting or remotely entertaining.

YYYYYYES!!!1!1!1!!!

Bring back Bradley, sign Bonds, coax Albert Belle out of retirement, hire Mike Tyson as bench coach, see if there’s a way to get Hulk Hogan’s kid furloughed to work in the front office …

Seriously, now with Griffey in the mix, where are they gonna put Swish?

A’s can pick up LaRoche from the Dodgers, filling that 3rd base hole, and Swish can man 1st for the rest of the season an play the occasional outfield for Cust. Dodgers get their “name” shortstop, and WhiteSox get their closer/setup man. Win/Win/Win scenario!
