Hopefully we have a Kangaroo court and they at least fine him in there. I didn't see the replay yet. Hopefully King Carlos knew for sure it was gone this time. I also hope he has a big series at Wrigley. They are gonna want to kick our ass.

I gotta say Kudos to Garland since I have no problem blasting him when he isn't as sharp. --Glad to see those who call him Judy give him props. Man ... what a performance! Nice, on a day we needed it with our bats only good enough to give us a win.

Brando is right. We have jinx woes regarding Jose. Somebody blast him so he will stay hot. At this pace, he's having a dare I say, MVP season.

I think he would have in any other series but this one, because he didn't want anything stupid to happen and the twins come back to win. EXACTLY! Dat's the reason. Oz doesn't want to f*** around at this point in time, til we make sure we are going to fly high the rest of the way. Oz is going by his gut, too, which is nice and what he promised after Mr. Disaster (Koch) was finally traded.

Great last line by Brando. I was about to jinx Jose by starting a thread on him saying how hot he is and how great he is. He is what he is ... but he's definitely one of our gamers.

Ozzie Guillen sounds like a helluva guy. Adopting his niece and helping out that guy's family!

Thank God Baggs is back. This guy always has a sane head on his shoulders. I love Jose V. When he has that home run stroke going it's a thing of beauty.

To the few Mark Buehrle doubters that still exist on this board and elsewhere. Foo on you. He was AWESOME! Put him in the all-star game.

I have to side with Brando this time. But once Sox build a big lead, then I want Miguel to smack a couple of homers to oppostie field and pick some slack-jawed yockel off a base for good measure........... Sox HAVE to be shown that it's NOT alright to give up the future for a player who could have been had earlier for less if only they were willing to spend a Mill more. --I think he's read this one correctly. I hope the same for Miguel. To suck when the game is on the line, then do what Brando suggested.

It's not whining to say we overpaid. It's up to Freddie to shut up those concerned about the trade. If he pulls a Clemens everybody's gonna love him and KW. Catcher is an important position. It's OK for fans to be concerned about giving away a guy who has a gun for an arm and has done a pretty good job at the plate in his ABs this year. I'm sure Seattle is pretty happy they have a catcher for the next 10 years. If we can get a good year out of FG and re-sign him, then it'll look good. Nobody's whining, they are pointing out a problem. We didn't just give away minor leaguers, we gave away a catcher with a gun.

Oz had a good quote about this putting the pressure on he and Coop. Let's say for some reason we don't play well after acquiring Freddie. Does Oz get the ax? Does Coop? Does KW?

I agree ... the Duke must come back. He was hilarious. That is a neat story about Donn Pall. It amazes me all the players like Pall and Parque who have a taste, but for whatever reason, don't last long in the bigs. The average baseball player would be smart to copy DJ, etc., be kind to the media and colorful quote as a player, and try to land a color man job when they are finished. I think being a color man is a lot better life than being a minor league coach/instructor.

"It's Ozzie's wife's niece" -- Aha, that makes more sense. Somebody pls. find a pic though. She must be incredible looking for a guy used to the rock star lifestyle to settle down.

Great stories. How stupid can that Cub fan be to write Frank Swallows outside of the Cell? Incredibly stupid moron. I wonder if he wanted the insurance to pay for the car. Was it an old wreck? He was just asking for a car bombing. We gots some tough fans on the South side.

Some of these posts are hilarious. Dowry ... saying "I do" to the Sox. good stuff. I wonder why all the posts say Ozzie and Freddie are good friends. Oz is gonna be his father in law and they are good friends? This is weird, wild stuff. Somebody find and post a pix of Oz's daughter. She must be incredibly good looking for a big leaguer to give up the lifestyle and marry.

You said: "I would do that deal in a heartbeat. Maggs won't resign, why not get some one who will be with us for 3 years?" I don't understand the logic. We acquire Freddie G yesterday — a guy we don't know if we can sign. Yet we give away young guys who are signed up for a while for Freddie. This trade pleases many Sox fans. Now a day later, we are saying, if we can't sign Maggs, then trade him away for Jones who will be here three years. Why are we accepting the fact we CAN sign Freddie and can't sign Maggs? I profess to you we are not going to sign Freddie if the Yanks or Bosox decide they want him. And if he does squat for us, the Yanks will want him. And to tell you the truth I would rather sign Maggs than Freddie! Why the double standard in the thinking of many???

Just don't understand how everyone begs for a trade, and not it occurs and they b****. Easy. Good GMs win all trades. We didn't win this one if FG leaves. We don't sign free agents. We need young guys. If we trade away all our decent young guys ... see ya in last place after the Yankees sweep us in the playoffs.

Ben Davis is not a suitable replacement. He blows.

How many million is FG willing to give up to play with his buddy? No million. He will go to the highest bidder. Baseball has no heart in it anymore. He will go to the Yanks if the Yanks want him.

You said: KW IS THE MAN, a true GM, and a businessman that knows when the ONE SHOT comes U Must seize it. --I'm all for winning a World Series, but if you are willling to gamble our entire future, all our prospects, for the chance we can put together a team capable of beating NY in the playoffs, that is a bad bet. I want to win now, but I also don't want to be the Orioles and finish last the next 15 years after this season.

Yes I have a lot of questions. One man (Garcia) is not an end all save all. He could be a big lift, but we are still a team with many holes.

Good, then he must play and let Sandy catch a couple times a week when he comes back.

Hi gwerty, I figured you'd ask! It's Mark B of course.

Brando said: hat's because some things go without saying. Everybody who is a true Sox fan loves Olivo, Willie, Valentin, Shingo, Buerhle and Uribe. --Nope. I beg to differ. MY list also includes Konerko and CLee and I'll take off Juan U. Look at the numbers Paulie has put up in terms of hrs and ribbies this season and compare them to some guys some of our fans would LOVE to have compared to Paulie. Paulie is a stud.

This begs the question: What do we get out of Davis. I know for a fact the guy can't hit and will never hit. But can he catch and throw. Anybody out there know? I respect all of your comments. Somebody must know if Ben can at least throw and catch. Cause he cannot hit.
