  1. A win tonight would have gone a long way. Now there's a part of me that wants them to wake up Saturday morning 7 games out, just to see what would happen the rest of the weekend.

    So if the Sox win 2 out of 3, KW is a buyer and if they lose 2 out of 3 he's a seller?

     

    If the Sox somehow manage to win the division would this have been the most unenjoyable division winning season in history?

     

    If the Sox end up winning the division, it will mean they had a good August and September. By the time they get down to the end of the season, meaningful games the last two weeks will make the pain of the first half go away. But they have to make the playoffs.

  3. Hudson has now played a season's worth of games with the Diamondbacks. Let's review how he did!

     

    32 starts--team record 21-11

    25 quality starts--yes, 25

    17-7, 2.99 ERA

    220 innings

    192 hits

    47 bb

    179 K

    1.086 WHIP

     

    He'll be under team control for 5 more years. Have a nice day.

    Didn't see Breaking Bad tonight, but my parents said it was awful. Barely watchable.

     

    It was what I call a "set up" episode. It's setting the tone for what this season will be...

     

    Jesse fighting his demons.

    Will Walt get to Gus?

    Will they be able to get the car wash, or what will they do to launder their money?

    What will happen with Hank and Marie?

     

    It wasn't a memorable episode, but it's setting up the story lines for the next 11 episodes.

    My concern with that scenario is we annoit a minor league player our set up man after seeing him for 2 games. Mnay were convinced Josh Field was the new Joe Crede too

     

    Fair enough, but I like Santiago's arm, and i'm ready to see what he can do the rest of the season, win or lose.

    Remember, we do have 6 starting pitchers this year. And Thornton really hasn't been Thornton this year anyways.

     

    Once they moved Thornton back to setup, he pretty much has been himself. Still, with the remaining years on his contract, I'd dump that in the right deal and look to fill the lefty setup role in-house with Santiago. It's too bad Leesman hasn't developed into that role by now.

    Because they think Rasmus is overhyped and they hate his attitude and other character concerns.

     

    Tony LaRussa can do that to some people, especially young players.

     

    Maybe a fresh start is what Rasmus needs.

  8. At this point, moving Quentin wouldn't be as much about who we get back, but more about getting Viciedo's major league career going. And not having to deal with Quentin in arbitration after this season. If they can get a couple low-level prospects with upside, I think that would be fair for Quentin.

     

    Now if John Danks gets in play, I would want major league ready talent back. Or close to the majors.

    Someone from this division is going to make a move at the deadline to push to 88. They're so bunched together at the top that a moderate sized move could be the difference easily.

     

    I'm thinking more about one game better than 2nd place, not the ultimate win total of the 1st place team.
