QUOTE(Jordan4life_2007 @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 03:26 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> After last night's horrendous performance, Freddy is now 1-5 with a 5.90 era. I can't remember a pitcher his age falling off as quickly as Freddy has, atleast one that didn't have a serious injury. Anybody who still thinks we could've gotten more for this guy needs a reality check. I thank god every day we were able to get Gio back. His value was still higher than what we receieved. If your Enron stock is worth $200 and you sell it for $125 in a seller's market, what is a good move? Freddy's hurtin'.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 09:52 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Flash....I can't believe you were expecting a lot of runs tonight. sox never faced Sampson before, therefore no tape, therefore Greg Walker has nothing to work with.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 08:39 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This team has to stop making losing look so easy. It's a historic day....it's the first time that Hawk used this line: "this is the most talented offensive team I've ever seen struggle for this long". Stop swinging at the first pitch Thome. He was saying that throughout the end of April and early May. I just wonder if he's given up that the Sox offense isn't such a lock to turn it around.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 07:20 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cardinals signed RHP Troy Percival to a minor league contract. The 37-year-old Percival will begin his comeback at Triple-A Memphis. If all goes well, he could assume a spot in the St. Louis bullpen in two or three weeks. Low risk, high reward. sigh This cliche is beyond stale. He's been throwing 87-90 and hasn't faced major league pitching in over two years.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 10:29 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thome has to play first over Konerko, should he do well he can be trade bait to the NL. Think the Dodgers or Giants could use him. Thome and/or Konerko aren't going anywhere. Get with the program.

The Reds have been brutal. Kearns is OK, Bailey is making his debut this weekend but their impact player goes back to 1985 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/alltime/draft?team=cin The Royals only have Mike MacDougal to show considering Alex Gordon hasn't shown anything at the MLB level and Grienke's head isn't on straight. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/alltime/draft?team=kan Yankees only have Jeter, Milton and Carl Everett to show since 1990 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/alltime/draft?team=nyy Red Sox haven't had anybody since 1994 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/alltime/draft?team=bos As bad as the Pirates have been (losers since 1993) they have only had Jason Kendall as Benson and Malholm aren't much http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/alltime/draft?team=pit

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 11:11 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree, I think the Sox' 1st round draft history over the past 16 years really speaks for itself. How can people bash these professional scouts when they continue to churn out impact major league talent year after year in the opening round? Lance Broadway, Brian Anderson, Royce Ring, Kris Honel, Joe Borchard, Jason Stumm, Matt Ginter, Kip Wells, Jason Dellaero, Bobby Seay, Jeff Liefer, Mark Johnson, Scott Christman, Eddie Pearson and Scott Ruffcorn, would be ashamed as would the ghost of Kyle McCulloch if he wasn't busy being mediocre at Winston Salem. ...and yet somehow the Sox, over the past 10 years, are #10 in having their draft picks from the first 5 rounds make the big league team. It should also be noted that the Sox over that time span have generally been competitive (harder for picks to come up,) not cheap (no KC or Devil Rays approach,) and have not given out fishy contract that demand call ups, like the Tigers. But according to all the Mel Kipers here who exclusively look at radar guns readings, K/9, and groundball ratios, the Sox are the worst in the league. Go figure.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 02:26 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm actually surprised there are so many people who haven't heard of Akon. yeah really. He's had top ten hits with Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, Eminem, he has an annoying sounding voice, he always says "convict" and his song "lonely" is played at USCF when the opposing manager goes to the mound to talk to his pitcher.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 10:45 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The first caller to the PFB show has me laughing my ass off right now. If the Sox decide to do something with Walker, you should call in and try to defend him. I bet Rongey does a complete 180.

How has no message been sent yet? Nothing from Kenny, Ozzie is laid back, nothing from Reinsy, and Walker hasn't been fired or reassigned yet. Please surprise me with a move tonight Sox.

Sox fans will remember the cub-killer in him and cheer him. His problems were with Ozzie and Marte, so he's cool in my book.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 10:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Prinz sucks. Its a shame the Sox have him on the roster. Its outrageous if KW and Ozzie still think this is a championship calibur team. Its loaded with minor leaguers, even with mediocre major leaguers on the DL. Jon Garland said back in April this team had the most talent and could win the World Series

the Cubune.com will be all over this. They were wondering were the picture was of the fans running after Ramirez, but posted this picture a week before:

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 10:19 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That was tough to predict. If Walker must go, he should take Cooper with him. At least our starters are near the top of the league in ERA. What does Walker have to show for his efforts so far?

LIGUEMANIA!!!!!

Well it's refreshing to see the relievers allowing the other relievers' runners to score instead of our starters.

A-Rod is so unclutch

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 10:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 25 pitching moves later, we get to Buckavich versus Arod. Jenks must be hanging out with Anderson. He never gets in. This post is hilarious. I can just see Ozzie and Cora flipping through the split books and then eventually just throwing them up in the air after the booner walks Abreu

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 10:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, at least you agree it was the dumbest thing. Hey santo....did you get my wedding invitation?No, are you serious? It's really tough making trips out of Iowa back to the city.

QUOTE(TheOcho @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 10:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My vote for the dumbest thing said in this thread tonight. I'm pretty sure I never said anything that stupid about the Sox when I was 15.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 09:56 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well...those people are just stupid. I'm still waiting for Thome to do anything clutch this season. OPS: 7th inning: .962 8th inning: .833 9th inning: 1.317 within 1 run: 1.128 tie game: 1.144 RISP: 1.074 RISP w/2 outs: 1.167 Kalapse, am I missing anything?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 09:41 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That would require the Sox trading someone at peak value. That's a foreign idea to KW. He's done it with minor leaguers. Guerrier and Reed. Olivo was having his best season in 2004.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 09:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So this bullpen isn't the worst in baseball? Intersting. The guy on the mound is causing the problems right now. If it was one of the guys that KW brought in that he thought would be the solution, your point would apply to tonight's game. I agree the bullpen has been a problem, but Thornton wasn't the best choice to be out there. That's the OG's call.

QUOTE(whitesox94 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 09:35 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Everyone in that bullpen fuc@#n sucks but jenks and logan. send the rest fuc@#n down http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?ac...p;f=2&id=62 Just type the word. We get your point.
