Oh give me a break. When you were released from St. Louis you said it was because of Duncan's kid.

As you can imagine, I reacted like the N64 Kid when I heard Widger was DFA. I also reacted like him when he got the remote control car after I heard we got Alomar Jr. Sandy has two doubles in 8 at bats against Johan in his career, so if he gets a hit Tuesday night, it's already a clear cut winner. Thank you Sox management for making this move (dumping Widger.)

Where's Minnesota's World Series trophy? You think they would trade Neshek and Liriano for a World Series title?

QUOTE(samclemens @ Jul 21, 2006 -> 02:41 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i dont see how making feeding the homeless in parks helps the city, its residents, or the homeless. Maybe people don't want to see barebone dead bodies in the streets. I'm sure there will be more homeless people trying to shoplift food from grocery stores as well. It is still legal to give the homeless some money? What if they plan on using it to buy food?

This year his win totals are inflated from beating the crap out of NL teams, and shutting down AL teams the first time they see him. Take a look at what happens the second time an AL sees him. It's like he's one of this foreign pitchers.

Jason Michaels in 293 at bats: .266/.324/.396 Is the sample size still too small? :rolly: That is why you don't play career bench players everyday.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 10:11 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If we're replacing Pods, I'd much rather have Chone Figgins than Soriano who would probably make this team even more "home-run hitty, 3-run blast or nothing" reliant. At least Figgins would give us an everyday player that does what Podsednik is supposed to do. One problem, Figgins is not on the block. Soriano is.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 22, 2006 -> 12:17 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd love to see Soriano on this team. My only fear is that we wouldn't re-sign him, and then he'd only be a 3 month rental. Where did you see this news? Yeah, but he is a lock to net you two first round picks.

Now Roesnthal is saying the Sox are willing to give up top prospects to get Soriano. I've also hated how Soriano's numbers were covered by his huge SLG%, but with the year he is having, how could you not want him over Pods?

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 09:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They would for a middle of the road prospect or cash considerations. ...and how do you know that? They are trying to contend and Miller was a big signing for them because he a hometown guy. He crushes LHP as well.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 10:02 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There's some talk that the Padres and Red Sox are discussing a deal involving Mike Lowell. Knowing Theo he'll probably ask for Dave Roberts, Josh Bard and Alan Embree.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 08:25 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> stuck? Any White Sox fan in there right mind would take him in a heartbeat at those dollar amounts. Almost all his wins this year are against NL teams and teams that were seeing him for the first time. Care to explain why team hit him so hard after they faced him once?

QUOTE(dasox24 @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 07:51 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know everyone is really down on Widge, but I'd just rather let him finish out the season with us. He at least does have playoff experience and knows how to play down the stretch of a season. I'd love to see Stewart up here next year, though, as the backup. What good is his experience if it was just sitting on his ass for almost ALL of the postseason. I remember him with a bases loaded walk, but that is it. I'll ask again, if we have a player who is directly related to the struggles of our vaunted pitching staff, and we can upgrade him with a better game calling, better defensive, better throwing out base stealers, and better hitting player at a reduced cost, why in the world wouldn't you make that move? By reduced cost I mean the Cubs being out of it, having their own young catcher in the minors, and having the backup guy cost more than your average backup catcher.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 08:01 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I believe I heard somewhere that we don't have the best home record anymore. I thought the Twins took that over some time ago. Who's going up against Koronka? I don't like facing an inexperience left hander.

QUOTE(VenomSox @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 08:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> News: The Nationals granted catcher Matthew LeCroy his unconditional release, three days after he was designated for assignment. Let him go back to the Twins to replace RonDL White. We're looking for good game calling, defensive minded, limiting the stolen base threat, catcher who can hit LHP. Lecroy hits LHP, but that's about it.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 07:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Any thought on Scott Williamson?? He has said he wants the Cubs to move him. High walk totals, injured all season. If we're going to go with Cubs, or ex-cubs, I'd rather take a chance on Latroy Hawkins. He shouldn't cost that much, and I'm sure AJ has good things to say about him as a setup man. QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 07:19 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Okay, so that leaves him out, as well as Howry and Eyre, who said their time on the southside was hell. Eyre said he won't waive his NTC. I can't recall if Howry has one this year, but fish him. He can continue staring into the packed stands full of garbage tossers. LOL @ "fish"

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 04:39 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree with the vast majority here who believe that Chris Widger blows, but the idea that a backup catcher has a profound affect on a penant race is absurd. Let's add to our regular lineup or improve the starting pitching first. Widger is an automatic loss when he catches. If you can make a upgrade without giving up much, why wouldn't you make that move? Every game counts.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 10:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You can cancel the buy protection with one phone call if you still like that card. That's another thing. I called the 888 number a dozen times, it has been busy EVERY single time.

Here's my situation; I have great credit No bills (credit wise) No tution payments I mostly use my debit card linked to my checking account when ordering stuff online or making larger purchase I only use my credit card when I know I have the money at the time to make the purchase. I don't care about APR because I always pay on time I don't want an annual fee. I don't want buyer's protection I don't care about the limit because I plan on using it only for gas unless the benefits are much better. I signed up for one that offer 1% back, but when I was authorizing it, the b**** over the phone signed me up for the buy protection, which is 89 cents for every $100 you spend. That completely makes my 1% bonus worthless. I haven't used the card once, and I am ready to cancel it once I get a new one. I picked up a form a my local BP and they are offering:(for the first 60 days) 10% at all BP 4% on eligible travel and dining, 2% on all other eliglbe purchases. After the two months, all those %'s are cut in half. I also get a $40 BP gift card for making a purchas within 3 omnths, and up to another $35 in gift certificates if I spend $1,000 in 3 months. No annual fees too. Does anyone know of any better offers for me?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 02:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> One of the real things that would suffer as a result of eliminating the penny is actually charitable donations. You know those boxes say at the counter at a grocery store, or at a fast food place, where you drop in some of your extra change? Getting rid of the penny would actually significantly hurt those numbers, IIRC. Oh come on. First off, are there really people so cheap they would give less than a nickel to a charitable company? One could argue they'll start getting coins of larger value because the guy who normally gives 3 cents will now be inclined to give 5. Working in a liquor store for quite sometime, I can not tell you the abuse I have witnessed of our take-a-penny-leave-a-penny jar. Get rid of the damn things already.
