There were a lot of Red Sox fans in attendance, but crowds are still going to be very solid the remainder of the year. We had Detroit in town before Boston was here; the crowds for those games were 37,556, 31,008, and 39,146.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 06:10 PM) He specifically said on Baseball Tonight that I heard that Omar Vizquel may be coming over to swing that bat and play some defense at short. Also said Billy Wagner on the block and than Ravech mentioned Burnett. Anyway this is the first Vizquel refernce I've heard in a long time. Let me just say, offensively this is the one move that makes TOTAL sense. I'll give up Valido and than some, I don't care. Vizquel makes this team so much better. We all saw Tadahito today in sitautions where he was allowed to swing away and he did well. Move him down in the lineup and he'll produce more runs and Omar is a better 2 hole hitter anyway. This move flat out makes sense. I don't care what it costs as long as Chris Young and Bmac aren't a part of the deal. Get Vizquel, Get Wagner and I couldn't be happier. I'd have no problem seeing Vizquel come over to the Sox. That's a move I see making a lot of sense. I'm not too excited about the Burnett deal. SS would be a great place for the Sox to upgrade. The pen wouldn't be a bad place either.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 06:10 PM) Way to change the color and keep everything else the same. I might actually use this. ^Best thing about it.^

While I may not have the greatest respect for their fans, their players certainly gained some this weekend. Good stuff.

I like the new skin silverish gray. Real clean looking!

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 10:39 AM) Lowell would be decent insurance, however. Wow, its amazing how quickly I can go from hating Crede to loving him, but he's been hitting lately... one of the few. Crede's a very streaky guy, and he's in one of his hot streaks at the moment. He seems to usually have better 2nd halfs too. So maybe this is the start of a really solid stretch for Crede.

As much as I'm ready to see Konerko leave the Sox, the first trade, I'm iffy on. I like where we stand as an offense, I know all the numbers don't really impress, but they're getting the hits when they need to. I like the idea of the 2nd trade though. You can never have enough pitching, and Wagner would be a solid addition to the bullpen.

QUOTE(traydragen @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:36 AM) Grosss :puke :puke I didn't read the post prior to this one (so this may have been said earlier) but, anyword on Dye's return? What DB just posted is from today. I'd assume, though he's probably able to play today, Ozzie's not going to let him. Dye will most likely be back again on Sunday.

I'm very psyched about tonight's game. I'm leaving for Chicago in just a few hours. As many SoxTalkers, including myself, will be in attendance for tonight's game. I've got a nice win streak going at games right now; let's hope that continues tonight!

QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 06:39 AM) Frank stating that he isnt helping the team at all right now.... is just a really f***ing mature thing to do. I mean he could sit there and say "hey i have 12HR's" look at me... but he seemingly has bought into Ozzie's team mantra, and is going on the DL to get right and let someone else pick up his slack.... I gotta say... i loved reading every minute of it... you dont see much of this is in Professional Sports. I like it a lot too. I'm selfish, and I want to see the guy play. However, I know he's not all there just yet. This is the right thing to do; give him some time off, and hopefully he'll be back in a better position to help this club again.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 11:12 PM) I was thinking about taking a little break from Soxtalk after the loss last night. Things just get too depressing on here when the Sox lose. If they go out and get shelled tomorrow I think I might just take that vacation but otherwise I'll sticking around. People just need to think how ridiculous they were acting last night. We were 30 games over and 10 up last night, and that equates to people jumping out windows. We just add 1 game to each of those totals above, and suddenly people are sane again. There needs to be a medium found.

I don't know how or why, but behind Frank, Crede's become my 2nd favorite player on the Sox. I have a real hard time hating the guy.

Welcome!

Also, JG deserves a big can of dap right now. He's had to be the stopper and prove himself many times this season, and he continues to get it done. JG!

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 10:01 PM) me three! We should meet up or something.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 09:57 PM) A lot harder when the defense does its job right Boston??? BYEBYE Good job Sox go get em tomorrow because im gonna be there. Me too!

Do we all feel better now? 11 games up, 31 over. Shaddap.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 09:13 PM) High socks + sleeveless = hotness + sideburns = good baseball

A well-deserved standing O for JG, even fathom's clapping.

Frank's still saying all the right things. Get better big man! http://whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/ar...t=.jsp&c_id=cws

We need to do that pick a loser contest too.

People are going to rip you on the France thing, but enjoy yourself Dep! I'm going to my first Sox game of '05 tomorrow; I'm too psyched for that!
