Anything's fine with me. Do what ya need to do. You guys are awesome with this tremendous website.

No offense, but we always play a ton of games against the Central in the second half. True the Sox control their own destiny, but it's not reasonable to think the Sox will win 80 percent of their games against the Twinks, Indians, Tigers and Royals.

Great. They did the right thing.

Great lines about his age. it's disgraceful major league teams can't find out how old a guy is considering they give all this money. I mean cmon. Don't the teams have the right to know guys like Jose are really 55?

Give him the no trade clause. Usually if a pitcher is doing badly and/or a team wants to dump him, the player will OK a deal if it's somewhere liveable. I mean he deserves a no trade to protect him against being shipped to Pittsburgh or somewhere like that. Great article. I liked those rumors.

Exactly. I'm grateful for his effort during the championship season, but he is a wreck on the mound. His style of pitching is maddeningly bad when he's not on. He may be washed up.

He was so bad, you wonder how these guys even advance this far. There are a lot of bad pitchers out there, and Aardsma is one of the worst.

Thank God Aardsma is gone. My gosh was he a hack.

I love Ozzie but this quote is for the Master of the Obvious Hall of Fame.

I know, but I didn't want to rip Bobby in any way. I thought he deserved a pass.

It's pretty obvious Vaz is a good guy to have on a staff. The Sox starters have been so good. It's a shame we're not in first place because of injuries and horrid bullpen and the dumb acquisition of Erstad instead of somebody good.

Thank God Ozzie let Vazzy pitch the whole game. Buckwitz and the rest of those bullpen stiffs (except for Jenks) would have blown the game like they did for Mark.

I dunno. Is it proper to use the entire line? To type all the way to the end? It seemed to me it was better to shorten the sentence and stack the sentences.

Cause I've been through this argument before. I do not care about the draft. I don't. I want to win every game played. I simply could care less about the draft in a sport where most of the draftees do not even make the big leagues.

Fair question. I hate to say this, but I'll take anybody that's not a former Royals player right now. And I did have some hope that the team could overachieve and perhaps finish .500 this season, fathom. The 5-1 road trip, despite the opposition and bad hitting against KC, gave me hope. Add to that the opponent tonight and the six runs ... I think it is a really bad loss.

This game may be remembered as the most disappointing of the season. Nice road trip, signs of life. Some offense tonight. Then this pathetic showing. I know the season's already over, but this may be the game remembered as the worst considering the opponent.

Brave words. If not we can always use MacDougal, Buckwich or Boone Logan. Gasp!!!

Probably. This loss just is devastating.

If Buckvich isn't sent down tonight, KW should be fired. He cannot pitch at this level. If the Sox keep any Royals rejects on the roster, again KW should be fired. My gawd. Let tonight's game be the one that drains the Cell of fans the rest of the season. WOW! What a disgrace.

I hate to say it but somebody should be fired after this game. Man. You don't blow a 6-2 lead late at home. Wow.

are we blowing the lead? i don't have it on tv here

I don't think it's unreasonable for fans to be furious at getting rid of one of the best, most likeable players in Sox history.

Nice, we got 3 hrs. wow. If we trade Mark, I wish I could say I would boycott the Sox forever. I hope a lot of fans do, but I probably can't stay away.

What is the score? How is mark pitching?

Some people act like it's good business for the Sox to suck the next 2-3 or more years. You think the owners of the team are going to want to be horses*** while rebuilding? You try to put the best team out there every year. Trading Jenks would be moronic. There would be no closer and just another reason to lose more games.
