QUOTE(C_LEE45 @ Dec 26, 2005 -> 04:38 PM) i thought the a's were trading zito so i think beane would have a better shot signing Garland seeing that garland likes it there, <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...and the best Beane can get for Zito is a shot to sign Garland to an extension even though his agent said he wanted to test the market after the 2006 season??? :banghead

Why would Beane do that trade? To help the Sox out? What makes you think Zito would sign an extension here? (He's a west coast guy right?)

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Dec 26, 2005 -> 07:07 AM) Since when did OPS become an important stat for a leadoff hitter? By that reasoning, Scott Podsednik wasn't very good at all in 2005 (and Pods fans, please don't get me started on a Pods is great argument, even though I'm not his biggest backer). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not only that, how many other leadoff men had an OPS > .806 last season?

World Series DVD Sox bucket with 4 pint glasses with the Sox logo. That'll be handy for the summertime.

Now how about getting rid of that ATH reference in the Diamond Club description?

QUOTE(POPPY_HIDALGO @ Dec 23, 2005 -> 04:48 PM) Yeah, just like this Sox board. Thats the sort of thing I'm looking for. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So you're looking for a Bears board to troll at where you can say "Rex Grossman will break his ankle in the first quarter, and Orton will then go 2-17. Bears lose 37-6?"

QUOTE(TLAK @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 12:33 PM) The New York Yankees. While we're at it, name me the last team that changed over 1/3 of the team and DID repeat. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We should've never bothered winning the World Series last year. This back-to-back stuff is so complicated. :rolly

QUOTE(bschmaranz @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 08:59 PM) Does anyone else find it hilarious that they have a Jacques and a Pierre in the outfield? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Weren't they the Quebecers managed by Johnny Polo?

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 04:41 PM) Where the hell was Williams during negotiations? It's not as if we're stocked with relief pitching. New York must be offering Dotel the largest possible amount if he meets certain stipulations. So much for "flying under the radar" and offering him a minor league deal. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Um, if the Yankees are offering a major league deal to him, why would he accept your offer? Just because we don't sign or trade for a guy doesn't mean weren't interested or made an offer to him.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 03:05 PM) You must see a lot of flyballs in their future. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The sad thing is that Freddy has been anything but a flyball pitcher since coming ot the Sox (last season he had the highest GO/AO on the staff) yet some people ride him when he has a rough outing (usually at home.) Vazquez usually has a high K/9 and last season had a GO/AO of 1.2

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 11:35 AM) And Soxtalk has officially run out of whipping boys. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have a feeling this year it will be Vazquez and Garcia.

Thank God. No offense to some of you, but I can't stand seeing so much political s*** on a baseball forum. At least this "hides" it from me when I go to SLaP.

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 06:20 PM) If it smells like Villone,leave in alone!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LMFAO!!!! I used to use that joke when we had Bartolo.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 05:38 PM) He has played a few seasons in Japan on nothing but turf, Im sure he doesnt mind. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Same stuff as the Twins?

Can't wait to see how he handles the new turf.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Dec 13, 2005 -> 05:59 AM) have to argue the point here guys.... as a fellow alcholic..... you must not understand ITS A GENETIC f***ING DISPOSITION its not like they, nor i... WANT to go out and drink the way we do.... its not like they, nor i are saying... HEY KIDS.... DRINK THE f*** UP!!!!! whats really happening is...... more like..... hey everyone, i have a problem that controls EVERY ASPECT OF MY LIFE.... and i try to keep it under wraps.... but you know what..... i cant do it all the time just yet.... so i understand i messed up, punish me.... im sorry... and ill keep trying to do better. just because someone has a serious personal and chemical dependancy problem dosent mean they should be bared from professional sports..... put away in jail for life..... shot in the f***ing head..... or exiled on an island..... people like me and ponson are people too..... and people deserive equal oppertunity..... and just for the record..... im not offended at all, just trying to illustrate a point. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> From my understanding, there is no genetic link to alcoholism. How many alcoholics had parents who either drank or were alcoholics? Do you honestly believe if someone who supposley has alcoholism in his or her genes would become an alcoholic if they were never around the s***? As for Ponson, he said he'd be willing to close for teams. I wonder if he would accept a middle relief role.

I think it's quite obvious that KW doesn;t know what the f*** he is doing. :rolly

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 07:55 PM) Yes, let's just unnecessarily reward players for what they have done in the past. That will get us far. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd rather pay Crede more for what he did in September and October than pay upto $6 million for a guy who can't hit on the road, in the second half, or against LHP.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 05:26 PM) Heres a thought. Who determined that a 5 man rotation was best? Who decided that 5 men was the be all end all set up for starting rotations in baseball? Why not 6? Maybe 6 man rotation will turn into the "new" thing in baseball. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Well why not go with an 8 man rotation?" Hawk Harrelson's reaction to Mike Murphy talking about a 6 man rotation back in 2004. Of course if the Sox actually go with a 6 man rotation Hawk will probably say "Ozzie and Kenny are great for coming up with the idea of a 6 man rotation DJ!"

I'm really looking foward to seeing Javier pitch. He had 20 quality starts last season, and his WHIP wasn't too bad. Isn't his wife from Chicago?

Done with school. B)

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 09:50 AM) This I would go for.. OF course Ervin Santana better be apart of that deal as well. WE would not be downgrading our D as much as we would be grabbing Tejada. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There's no way the Angels give up Santana to the team that stomped them in the ALCS even if the team did the ridiculous favor of taking Cabrera's terrible contract off their hands. OC sucks. Both the player, and the show.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 09:23 AM) NO NO NO NO NO NO NO BTW NO <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We should get OC for our shortstop instead! Seriously, I don't want to give up Brandon.

This is crazy. I kinda like acting like the Yankees or Red Sox and trading for every big name. Let's get to work on Tejada and Griffey after this B)

QUOTE(SnB @ Dec 13, 2005 -> 10:23 PM) what econ? i'm currently in the 200 level ones, have to take econ 302 next semester, which i heard is a b****. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Econ 302. For some reason it's a technical elective in the college of engineering. I had Silve Parathman (sp?) and it was less economic principles, and solving more calc problems (easy for engineers.) I know other engineers in different sections with different professors, and their test formats were 20 multiple choice questions, and a few short answers. My class was 4 or 5 computational problems with multiple parts. I thought it was insanely boring, but pretty easy.
