Oh wait, it's 5-1 not 4-1, no bobby.

Good question. Matt is dealing. Might be wise to give Bob a night off. If I had to bet, it's Bobby.

Tough luck. that was a bullet.

Hopefully Crede won't be uppercutting some home runs that series. It's tough enough to win with M and M bashing us. We also need to hit their starters like some other teams have been doing.

Thornton is like the rest of our team -- hot. Man he is dealing tonight.

There's nothing worse than playing Minnie in the dome.

Our series' against Minnesota really get built up a lot when we travel to the dome. I caught a few innings on mlb.com the other day and the announcers were b****ing big time about having to play that playoff game in Chicago last year. They are still miserable over the coin flip. They were pissed.

It's a pleasure to watch a healthy Pods run.

Just say no to that trade.

I think it's worth the risk of possibly losing. The whole country would be so bored. It'd be an all Chicago thing. And we'd probably win it. It'd be great for the city.

I have a feeling it comes down to whether Oz prefers Brian's defense or Wise's speed as a backup outfielder and Wise's speed will win out. That's dumb, though. BA's defense is more valuable than Wise's speed.

This flap with KW is funny considering just last week Oz said our fans were smarter than Cubs fans because our fans don't show up cause "they know we are horses***" or something like that. Oz already pointed out why our fans won't go to the games.

It's funny to hear Hawk go through his home run call w/out DJ also screaming the 'Yes' part. No way the ultra professional Stone would ever chime in. He really needs to save the hell yes for things like grand slams and game winners. He's already got 'this game is OVA' and the 'put it on the board yes' thing goin on. The hell yes should be rare, but what the f*** do I know about broadcasting? Maybe it's a gem.

His defense is so good it's hard to believe. I hope we keep him as a backup outfielder, defensive replacement. I wonder why he's such a wreck at the plate? Is his approach awful? His stance? When he's up there, he looks like a pitcher hitting. If I had to pick between him and Wise, I'd pick BA as our super sub.

Somebody mentioned trading Alexeii. I don't think I'd do that in a trade for a pitcher. Lexi is a pretty special hitter. Now if he could do a tad better the first six weeks of the season, he'd REALLY be something but he's pretty damn electric.

Paulie and Mark .. what a concept. Loved the postgame interview. Paulie said nothing was different. Just did what middle of the order guys should do, while noting "you won't always get 7 RBIs." He's a stud.

He's been great. I thought last year he had earned his stripes so well that he should NEVER have been booed. I wonder how the clowns who booed him feel now. He had an off year. He was not finished.

I don't think Kenny's comments were that mean or condescending. But once again nobody mentions the Dodger series being premium priced. I think being 4,000 down per game is about right considering the horses*** start this team had at home. I mean the Sox totally sucked at home for a long time, just now sort of getting it together in the Cell. All those shutouts and horrific offensive performances at home. I've been amazed that baseball has survived with parking costs so high and ticket prices so high, but it has. A drop of 4,000 is reasonable to me. This team was painful to watch when Lilly and those other automatic outs were in the lineup. And when Jose sucked early when he was rushed back, and the elderly Colon were being trotted out there I'd find it tough to buy a ticket/parking.

And thank goodness Gobble is gone. I watched Poreda tonight. He looked like he has pretty good stuff IMO though he did give up a run. Poor Gobble needs to get on with his life.

Maybe Kenny wants all flamethrowing relievers. I know nothing of Allen except what I've read on here and I was hopeful he was a big bopper type for the future.

Why slam Cowley? He is a good writer and makes his stuff available immediately on twitter. If you read this site, Mr. Cowley, I think you do a fine job.

You've got to wonder if he can stay healthy the rest of the season and hopefully into the postseason. We're going to have to play great to make the postseason I fear.

Yes, but how many of them are you willing to give up is what sparked the debate on here. Four, five prospects, all of them top prospects in our organization? Or one or two of them?

Yeah, Kenny clearly has won some trades, so I shouldn't say "for once." But in a blockbuster I was hoping the 3-4 guys we ship for a Halladay wouldn't be all guys that have been mentioned as big parts of our future. Maybe Richard is not a top prospect; after his first couple starts this year I thought he looked like a very good prospect. Poreda and Allen I'm going by what I've heard and everybody seems to think they are good big leaguers. I don't know what I'd offer for Halladay. I guess it's why KW gets the big bucks.

Oh you are done? Sorry to waste your precious time on this Internet message board. I just saw that quote based on minorleaguebaseball.com. So he's not compared to big hurt; he's compared to Howard and McGriff. My bad. I don't know why everybody has to agree with everybody else, lest you are deemed a mental midget on message boards. I had heard somewhere Allen was supposed to be a f***ing stud and I know Poreda is good. I see you edited your post where you don't say you are done. Thanks for the edit.
