I counted 4 pitches called for strikes there that were clearly low. Like not even particularly close. He better call that pitch both ways.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Jul 14, 2005 -> 04:20 PM) Yeah I don't buy the aforementioned deal because the Marlins aren't going to want prospects for the most part. I do feel that Lowell for Crede makes some sense on both sides but he does pull in some coin. The Marlins would take prospects if those prospects were Anderson, BMAC, or maybe Rogo or Jenks. They have several young "prospects" of their own that are close so it would require prospects who are close from us because they arent rebuilding, they are just retooling.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 14, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) Turns out they only have the "mug" shots. I was looking for active shots. Oh, sorry, i thought it was mug/face shots you were looking for

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Jul 14, 2005 -> 01:31 PM) Steve, I disagree. I loved the ties and I think shootouts destroy hockey. Like it's been said before, baseball games arent decided with HR derbies and basketball games dont end with dunk contests. If they cant decide a winner after regulation and an OT, then it's a tie. I agree, shootouts suck. Theres nothing wrong with having a tie in hockey, IMO.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Jul 14, 2005 -> 02:19 PM) Who replaces him? These Dye theories are looking really far-fetched. Jermaine is an OF, not a 1B. Dye might be moved there. Maybe a Gload/Fullmer (if healthy) platoon. Gload/Rogo (doubtful but maybe) platoon? There are a couple options. Plus, there's bound to be some FA's that could be signed and do a serviceable job.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 14, 2005 -> 01:18 PM) You don't remember the exchange they had in the papers this spring? It wouldn't surprise me at all if Maggs sees an eye high fastball or two. Oh I remember, I just dont see that as cause to have one of your pitchers plunk him (or for a fan to wish a plunking on him). But thats just my opinion on it.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 14, 2005 -> 01:13 PM) Something in the water these past couple weeks.. Heh, i dunno

Terrible trade for LA...and this on the heels of drafting Andrew Bynum as high as they did too...Awesome trade for Washington though. Butler is a good player who can help them get over the loss of Hughes. Plus, if I remember correctly Butler grew up around Maryland so playing near home could further add to his game

Boo him all you want, you can argue he has it coming. But why on earth would Ozzie have him beaned? That'd be assanine

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 14, 2005 -> 01:02 PM) He is arbitration eligible... we still have to give him more money. Huge difference between that and becoming a FA as your thread title states...

I thought Garland was only arbitration eligible...?

you can get Broadway and Valido off W-S's site

I really hope we don't trade for AJ UNLESS we immediately get him locked up because he is going to cost us a lot.

http://www.charlotteknights.com/pressbox/t...tions/0712.html Look at the transactions for July 8th It says we signed Brad Fullmer and placed him on the DL Not a bad signing as insurance if that is true. Of course if we signed him and put him on the DL and he hadnt been signed at this point in the season I have no clue what kind of condition he's in. ???

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 02:52 PM) how does one become a white sox, marlins, chiefs, carolina and florida panthers, senators, sonics, and redskins fan? oh and it is incredible news haha, here goes: Became a white sox fan when i lived in germany because that was the only MLB shirt my mom could find there (hard to believe huh, haha). Montana got traded and i switched allegiances (i was young). Payton and Kemp were my favorite players when i was younger, hence the Sonics. I went through a phase where i tried following a number of expansion teams (Marlins, Panthers X2 stuck). Ottawa's minor league team plays in my hometown (Binghamton). Florida State was good when i started watching college football. There it is, lol.

Awesome news!!

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 07:19 AM) I agree with him. I think the WC is stupid. Especially 2 weeks before the season starts. If it must be done it should be done in November. What's so stupid about it? Baseball is huge not just here but all over the world. The WC of Soccer occurs every 4 years and around teh whole world (besides here) it is looked forward to and loved. It is a global event that brings the worlds best teams in to play another. Baseball is growing and is huge in Latin America and Asia. Other places such as the Netherlands (thanks to their Caribbean possessions for the most part) and Australia also field decent teams. Especially now with baseball being removed from the Olympics, I think this is a wonderful idea. Have a WC of baseball every 3 or 4 years. I agree the timing is bad, but I fail to understand how the idea is stupid at all.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 02:24 PM) Saw. That one was pretty good, Sixth Sense. I agree, those two had amazing twists/endings, IMO

2.32 but until the other day it was in the low 2.20's

Leo Daigle can play third right? But seriously, if Crede goes to the DL we could just shift Uribe to 3B, call up Guerrero and have him and Pablo platoon at SS for the time being if its only gonna be one stint on the DL. If it would require more however, i think we'd have to go get someone.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 09:13 PM) What a loser. Couldnt agree more. Ridiculous.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 10:12 PM) Holy s*** -- 2-for-4, a 2B, and 2 BBs. he also had 2 SB

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 08:10 PM) and? The point is in Texas he is stuck behind Tex who isnt going anywhere and I think they have another good 1B some Botts guy but not sure on that. I think their cost for Adrian Gonzalez would be significantly less than the cost for Howard. and...I don't think it'd be worth it to give players up for Gonzalez with Gload under contract and Rogo playing well in Birmingham. Gonzalez will be good but not good enough to be worth it, IMO

Gonzalez was traded by the Marlins in 2003 for Urbina b/c the Marlins wanted to keep Stokes instead
