Or not..... 3 LOB for Oakland in the 1st; Durazo gets groundsout to end the inning...

Hope it ends up being a good one!

It doesn't matter what you would rather see. It's what Ozzie, and the pitchers that are throwing to the catcher want to see.

We weren't going to be able to resign Mags anyways; we might as well have been getting ready for life without him.

How did we give up too much? Please explain that people that don't like the deal....

I can't say I'm included in the disliking of this trade; we needed another bat. However, why don't you guys let the trade happen and see what goes down from there. It seemed like a lot of you didn't like the Freddy trade initially, how's that working out for you now?

Very nice SS2K

The Braves announcers just confirmed it. They said Everett was scratched because he's being dealt to the Chisox for a couple of prospects. Welcome back Carl!

I have the Braves-Expos game on TBS; I want to see if they say anything.

Well at least we won't have to hear about it anymore.....

I liked the whole thing about Mr. Baseball.... "Well there's your answer."

I guess you don't read your stuff......

Same here. We needed a bat; Everett might fit that bill. However, I don't know if he was worth any of the pitchers in our system that people have heard of. Who knows what will come of this? I forgot who said it, but this may help spark Everett's bat the rest of the season. It's got to make him feel pretty good that this organization really shows him some appreciation and loyalty, now that they want him back again since they have the shot to go after him.

I have a feeling that the Loaiza of 2003 is going to rejoin the team tomorrow afternoon, and pitch one hell of a 2nd half for the Sox.

Ah I love coming home to these. Nice job Sox! It looked like a solid line by Freddy today too. Let's go out and get another tomorrow Sox!

45 to 18....Wow.

Niiice! That leaves a good taste in my mouth on my way to work. Bring me home a winner Sox!

Shaq will retire with more championship rings than Kobe in the end.

If that's the reasoning, it doesn't exactly work. How'd the Sox fare against Minnesota last year? Not well, IIRC. This Sox team is doing a pretty good job against Minnesota in 2004. Things change. Hell, I know some of you don't want to accept it, but maybe Frank has changed for the better too. Nah, that's not possible; Frank will forever be the crabby player he was a couple of years ago. Just because you don't want to believe it, doesn't mean it's not true.

It's pretty crazy to think we're 7-3 against Minnesota at the moment, but that only puts us 1/2 a game up. The Sox need to step it up in the absence of Frank.

:fyou Fox....I won't get to see today's game; they're broadcasting the Cardinals-Reds game at noon over the Sox game here.

I saw this on Chisox.com, and the poll is extremely split 4 ways right now. With the talks about Frank on the site right now, I figured this would spur some interesting conversation.....

Different year, different team.

Isn't it kind of crazy how the last two times a player has bashed Frank for something like this when it comes to not playing during an injury it becomes something this serious where he misses such an extended amount of time? 2001 with David Wells 2004 with Jose Valentin
