People are probably going to kill me for thinking this way, but I think if the Sox can get through this stretch and maintain/stretch their lead, they are going to be much stronger for it. Right now everything is out of sorts due to injury, when the team was healthy they were performing much better. And the Sox have been a team of streaks, all year long, good and bad.

I think we are gonna hear lots of crazy rumors until a script is written and casting is official. Nobody saw Heath Ledger as the Joker, that was totally out of the blue

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 1, 2008 -> 08:56 AM) I don't care what you or your crazy-face cookie believe either. LOL, then it is decided. We agree to disagree.

Im pissed the Sox lost, but the last time the Twins came into the Cell and the Sox spanked them too. Although i dont think the Sox were coming back from 4-0 deficits twice, they just hit the ball all over the place and pitched extremely well. The Sox just need to take care of their own business now

I cant even fathom this. Being on that bus must have been one of the most horrifying things one could imagine, and the whole thing seems like a completely random crime

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 05:07 PM) I understand what you believe. However, I dont care.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 02:17 PM) Because we didn't give up 'anything' makes it a good deal? Getting something for nothing isnt necassarily bad. And Griffey offers a little more than just something IMO

end of argument

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 01:06 PM) Cubs might have guaranteed a WS appearance with the trade for Harden. He has been lights out. He is always lights out for 5 innings, then they take him out and rely on the bullpen. Thats when it gets scary having him on the team

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 11:45 AM) Have been listening ot the Score and have not heard anything. Although Murph thinks Theriot could hit .400 I was just in the car for 10 minutes getting lunch and Murph talked about Lannan 3 times with Rogers

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 10:04 AM) Richar and Massett, seems like a hefty price to pay. a rarely used long man and a buried-on-the-depthchart 2nd basemen are a hefty price to pay?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 06:54 AM) Griff just had a run in with the coaching staff and the radio guys, maybe its a box of balls to Cincy and we pay the salary. He would basically replace D Wise on the bench. Everyone has a run in with Jeff Brantley, he is a tool. I dont mind this move, I think his production would be equal to or better than what we are getting from Konerko right now

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 01:35 PM) I didn't say elite, I said above average. He's said it a couple of times in post game interviews when he's guarding PG's. He's also been quoted in the Sun-times before talking about how Ben really had terrible technique defending his rookie year but has really improved to the point where he's not a liability and actually is above average guarding the 1 spot. His size will always put him at a disadvantage IMO, and thats why I dont believe he will ever be more than average at best

I dont remember Skiles ever talking about Gordon being an elite defender ever. I remember him talking about Kirk that way, but never Ben

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 09:14 AM) Ben and Kirk for Sam Cassell! The best of all would be Ben and Kirk for a future 2nd rounder. And we pay half of Kirks contract. That would be just marginally better than David Lee, but I could accept that

This is what Jerry Manuel had to do to him too. Its a shame, but he just isnt "right" mentally right now

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 08:50 AM) Worst trade idea ever. Personally I think they should trade Ben and Kirk for Nate Robinson................

over/under when Ron Artest is kicked off the team for chewing on Yao Mings leg?

We have all done our fair share of ripping Paul for subpar performance this year, but this thread is very obviously not the place for it. If you want to trash him, go to the thread created for that very reason. I want him to succeed, if he succeeds the team is better. I know this thread wont make a difference in his at-bats, but good mojo/karma doesnt hurt anyone.
