I'm talking about Maggs failing in the clutch. I'd think fans would be shocked he would not be able to hit a medium deep fly ball to win the game. I don't care if he leads the league in dps all the time. He's a clutch player. That's where the shock comes in.

The fans had to be stunned when Maggs did that. Maggis is da man normally.

Another tough loss barring a miracle. We can't seem to sweep anybody. It's impossible to believe Maggs hit into the dp.

Who'd have thunk Maggs couldn't win it right there? We had the game. I don't like our chances now with Botch comin in, do you?

I think KW is an idiot. Let's hope this trade works out. Kenny Lofton didn't do squat as a veteran presence. Ritchie, Royce C. Let's hope this one works out and these guys hit. But you gotta wait and see. Alomar's batting average sucks this season!!! And Everett is not a guaranteed stud. Let's wait and see again.

Dont call it one of the greatest days in Sox history yet. While Everett and Alomar could excel, they also could suck. I do hope they excel and we win the pennant.

It's strange to give them a list to pick from. Why didn't we just offer a trade? This isn't done often, is it?

Sure it's a concern. If he fights with Greg Walker it could hurt the progress we've made recently with guys like Rowand, but I'm stretching worrying about that. Another worrywart would say we've been winning of late and this could kill the momentum. But we still haven't been hitting even though we've been winning.

Looks like D'Angelo's attitude may really HAVE been bad. Seems like since he started making those one handed catches on double plays, Manuel got pissed. I saw him do it once on TV and it worked. The second time I saw he dropped it and Manuel was peeved. Has he been doing that a lot, or just those 2 times?

Folks I'm glad we are trying to win the pennant, but you know the Rangers are going to get some prime minor leaguers. KW is not giving up stiffs. Do you think we've become a team like the Yankees that is going to be acquiring most of our starters from other teams in the future? Cause I can guarantee you the Rangers are getting Rauch or Cotts and we will have given up some prime talent today.

Great point Jim. You gotta wonder if Aaron woulda been fine now that he's hitting and we could have kept all these prospects. Sounds like we've given up royce and cotts. Do you think we will regret these trades??

We've added carl everett and rob. alomar in one day; pretty nice. I just hope the Rangers don't get 3 Sammy Sosa type prospects from us.

I didn't get to see the game or hear much about it. To those of you who went ... did our fans give Mark B an incredible ovation at any time tonight? He is kicking some serious butt. Roman not to rub it in but do you like Mark B now? Mark B deserves some major kudos! p.s. did the fans boo or cheer my boy, Kirk Hinrich as he threw out the first pitch?

I say forget the Everett deal unless we give up nobody. He's too old.

How old is Everett? I don't want to become the Baltimore Orioles of a few years ago and have aging stiffs on the team.

Glad you guys like the trade. Hopefully it'll work out. It's really all up to Roberto because we gave up a No. 1 draft pick for him. Royce is a future star, right?

Please don't make it Lofton. You said: "Man some of you guys are really crazy. WE b**** because we dont have enough to win, and then when the GM goes out and makes a good trade, and is trying to make another, you b****. To those selected few, are you EVER happy? KW is TRYING." I don't think they were b****ing, just saying KW better not give away all our good prospects by this evening. That ain't b****ing with KW's track record. I mean Alomar's stats suck, pure and simple. Look at them. And he's 36 if he's not lying about his age. I hope it's a great trade for us. But it's OK to question KW in my opinion because KW is an idiot.

If we trade Maggs I'm done with baseball. I won't follow it any more. Anybody a little worried Alomar is over the hill? Not to be a pessimist, but I thought Ring was a god.

Roman you are not the devil, but why not just enjoy the players who are producing? And how do you feel about Mark B now? I haven't seen all your posts. You been giving him some kudos? Roman smell the roses. We're winning. Keep Esteban and enjoy his magical season.

We do draw well on special promotion nights. It does show baseball has outpriced itself. There is no f***ing reason baseball needed to overspend for players like it did when all the owners ruined the game by outbidding each other. Ticket prices are way too high and our fans prove it. Our fans come out on these Monday night deals. Tomorrow night if there's no promotion, it'll be 19,500 at max. right? Shame on you, baseball. You charge too much loot.

Two hits tonight for Willie ain't half bad. Rios and Olivo were the only 0-fers in the lineup. And I like Olivo. Rios blows however. I like our lineup better when only one of the Harris-D'Angelo combo plays, though Aaron only got 1 hit in the No. 2 slot.

Good point Mathew. You don't deserved to be called names. Your opinion is as good as anybody's. Go Sox!

I'm sick of talking about trading guys who are producing. Trade prospects who will never pan out for Roberto alomar or better yet, Beltran when the Royals are ready to ship him.

Great crowd; great win. Garland does well; even Willie triples and gets 2 hits. Home runs galore. Wow. Very nice win to kick their ass after the game 3 loss to the Scrubs.

Good point Molto. Loaiza has been awesome. He gets an A plus right now on the first half.
