i don't care about the salary, if we can get kendall, giles without giving up too much and keeping olvia i am for it. leave room for another trade. btw off subject, but clee has been doing nicely with this bat as of late. his defense sucks tho

they both said that olivio is killing us with his bat................ hsc and your comment will be?

earlier in the season, tonite win would have been a lost, i am having this warm fuzzy feeling that i should plan a couple road trip to chi in oct.................. yesssss.

i was mentioning this in the off season, but i would like him more if he was in a sox uni.

oh yeah i forgot, what are we paying for botch?

so halladay got the call, then escobar gets the call tomorrow unless he is traded.

youre nuts, young at heart, when you were 17, fly me to the moon are better.

who started today for tor?

canadiens, what do they know of baseball, hochey maybe, but baseball?

who got the win, what is the attendence tonite, did marte get the sv?

i can't believe they win.

i know jm is loyal to his players, but wtf. cmon botch should be shelved for the season.

cbs rumor>>>>>>>>>> Kelvim Escobar. The rumored deal would be Escobar to Oakland for lefty Ted Lilly and minor-league pitcher Joe Blanton i think we need him more, we can use him as a rp and a spot starter. look at who we got, white and botch. base on what oak is offering can we come close to them with some second level prospect.

mnf, nice recap and thanks

Doesn't Frank Sinatra sing that song? But seriously, Neyer says the Royals should get a big bat, which might be true, but if i were them I think I'd rather pick up a Starter. Of course, if the Royals want to pick up a bat over an arm then that would be fine with me b/c we all know that good pitching beats good hitting(i.e. 2000- White Sox swept by Mariners). If they pick up another bat and end up making the playoffs, they still wont make it past the 1st round. nah marlin brando sang the song in the movie, however ole blue eyes want that song and the powers to be said no. ole blue eyes sang the song on his collection of songs.

what get me is if the sox were barely making a profit, think about the extra money spent on the likes of clayton, the slug we got for well and fogg. how much did that cost the team?

Reed’s Rolling CHICAGO—Lots of players have better tools. But Wally Backman has seldom seen a more developed hitter who knows how to play baseball than outfielder Jeremy Reed, who has absolutely torn up the Southern League since joining Double-A Birmingham. “He has skills and he is off the chart in terms of his instincts,” said Backman, the Barons’ second-year manager. “This is going to sound sort of old school but he’s just a baseball player. He knows how to play the game and he wants to play the game. That’s a terrific combination.” In his first 18 games in Double-A, the 22-year-old Reed hit .479-3-8 with 16 runs scored. He began the season at high Class A Winston-Salem and had hit .369 over a combined 295 at-bats. He had walked 46 times while striking out only 22 times in 295 at-bats. Reed has looked like a steal since being selected in the second round of the 2002 draft from Long Beach State, hitting .348 as a pro. “The guy is very advanced for this level,” Backman said. “You notice the little comments he makes. One day a lefthander throws him a breaking ball, strikes him out and makes him look just sick. The next time up, he gets a good breaking ball and absolutely smokes him into the gap. “He said, ‘You make me look bad on a pitch, then I’m looking for it the next time.’ He has an idea how guys are trying to get him out.” Reed shows enough power that Backman projects him as hitting 15 homers a year in the big leagues as a No. 2 hitter. Reed played mostly first base in his first two years in college but was drafted as an outfielder. The White Sox have played him on the corners, but Backman considers him to be a Darin Erstad type of center fielder. He could fill that vacancy in Chicago as soon as next season. “This guy is going to play in the big leagues,” Backman said. “He’s got a chance to be an impact-type player for the White Sox.” CHI-LITES • First-round pick Brian Anderson, a center fielder from Arizona, hit for the cycle in his sixth professional game at Rookie-level Great Falls. He was hitting .391-3-13 through 46 at-bats. • Righthander Jon Rauch, who was expected to make the jump to the big leagues this season, was sidelined with a shoulder injury. He was 4-1, 4.26 in 74 innings for Triple-A Charlotte. The Sox were worried because Rauch missed most of 2001 after shoulder surgery

last yr profit by forbes was $700,000
