QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 02:45 AM) Yes they seem to have that attitude that we should be honored that the Red Sox want any of our players, and we should be happy with whatever Rule 5 eligible they choose to throw our way. Yup, many of the replies to the mlb.com article are laughable. He's having a horrible year, but I can see him turning it around. The Red Sox pushed youkilis out of town for him, so the organization clearly had high expectations.

According to twitter, Red Sox fans seem to hate the idea of giving up middlebrooks for peavy. Still seem to have hope for the guy.

Who's going to make the g-d damn line ups tomorrow??

I'll always have a spot in my heart for Ozzie, but the way he went about leaving the team is beyond obnoxious. He basically forced the hand and ran his mouth about money. This is definitely not the end, and Ozzie will open up with his opinions on the Sox org. It will only stay classy for a short period.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 04:40 AM) How many other GM's wouldn't have fired Ozzie on the spot/blasted him in the media right now? Jim Hendry would give him 5 more opportunities and then put him on the Disqualified List for 30 days. Oh, I'm sorry, you probably meant "Active GMs."

Too bad Detroit came back. 4 down would have been great. Any update on if Verlander is pitching Thursday or Friday?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 03:15 AM) If Kenny goes, whoever the new GM is won't be able to establish a precedent over Ozzie. Ozzie getting a new GM would spell doom for the franchise. That's a good point. If anyone (especially Hahn) is brought in, they obviously know what type of situation they're coming into. Who would want that? Kenny is clearly a unique personality when it comes to GMs, but I think he's handled the relationship well, as public as it has been.

Anybody have Dish Network? I can't find what channel the game is on. Hopefully it's televised.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ May 19, 2006 -> 11:09 PM) no offense but I hate your friends for what they did with world series tickets I'd have given a lung and a kidney to go to a game, and they just bought tickets and sold them (I tried the season ticket promotion but got in too late) I wouldn't give in to their demand, make them stuck with what they have Told them repeatedly how shady they were being. Had tickets from them to Game 6 though, but obviously that wasn't necessary.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ May 19, 2006 -> 10:55 PM) And your gonna wear a cub shirt because they told you, I wouldnt regardless of what friends say. BTW nice avy A deal's a deal. I picked out about 20 games at no charge. Go boilers.

QUOTE(Beltin @ May 19, 2006 -> 07:50 PM) So what you are saying is you have two Cubs fan sugar daddies? You couldn't have just bought your own season tickets, could you? I am not sure many Sox fans are going to be sympathetic to your cause. I didn't want to shell out several thousand dollars for a pair of season tickets. They offered me to pick all of the games I wanted to go to with that stipulation. Are you saying you wouldn't do that?

Fellow Sox Fans I'm going to to the Sox / Cubs game on sunday with a couple friends of mine who are cub fans. They were two people who bought season tickets just to scalp the World Series tickets. Obviously with them being Cub fans, they were not planning on using the season tickets. They told me I could pick out the games I wanted at no cost with one stipulation: I have to wear a cubs shirt and hat they provide me throughout this sunday's game. I can't doctor the outfit in any way either. Thought about it and decided to go with it, figuring I'd find a way to have fun with it. I picked out several games and now the day I'm dreading is approaching. I wanted to get some ideas/opinions from you guys on how I can turn the table on them. Let me know your ideas. Thanks!!

Speaking of Borchard, does anybody else see him as a a possible Adam Dunn type? I don't think he could put up as many HRs, but I see a similarity.
