I think we have more pressing needs right now.

As I'm sure you're well aware I have no trouble doing that.

You want to have a "good sox fan conversation" but we're poor Sox fans cause we dare to criticize those who we feel deserve it. Whatever.

Yeah, but the way things are it;s kinda like we're conceeding the 5th starter day & that's just not cool.

This post wasn't meant to bash either player, jackass. Oh, by the way who are you to question what kind of sox fan I am? Maybe the poor fans are the ones like you who feel that up and down the lineup and throughout the pitching staff that all the players are above criticism. They're not & when they deserve it then they should be criticized.

It wasn't just that last game either. Every time that it's roulette wheel day the team has that "we're gonna lose anyway" attitude.

That sounds like something that might work. Anything that'd get someone somewhat reliable in here to plug that hole in our 5th starter slot.

WOAH!!! I take shots at players that deserve it but by no means am I the only one & I dont recall ever saying anything bad about Crede. And for every shot I take at Botch or K-alentin there's several heaping praise on MB or Loaiza or Paulie or even THOMAS & you know how much fun I used to have with him. I give credit where it's due and taks shots when someone has it coming. Mariotti hates all of em & said as much with the last line of his column "On the Wrong side of town" Implying that for the Sox to win is somehow wrong and the Flubbs should be the winners in this town. Much as you say otherwise I'm pretty fair in doling out criticism & praise.

If Botch can hold it together the rest of the season I wouldn't mind seeing him stay around. He still has a long way to go in my eye though.

I say Valentin is a lock to be gawn cause there's no way Reinsy is gonna cough up 5 mil a year again for a 30 something SS who K's too damn much. Especially with our infield as stacked with talent as it is. Valentin goes & frees up money to sign Maggs and that deal gets done.

Must be all that sun out there.

I would vote for Benson but if he's as shaky as people say he is then forget it. We get Garcia and we might have to overpay. I'd rather overpay for quality though so I'll go with Garcia. BTW MB is out no 1 guy. PERIOD!

His OBP has got to be soaring these days. Seems like every game he draws like 2-3 walks nowadays. Maybe he could teach Jose Valentin a thing or 2 about patience.

We rock!!!

You might want to be careful showing your bare ass in that neighborhood.

What are you talking about??!?! He's has 10 times the cool points around here as Beastly!!! Oh wait. 10 times nothing is still nothing.

Yeah. It's pretty hard to be so biased toward such a s***ty team without making yourself sound stupid all the time.

I really hate to see this guy get screwed by sending him up and down like he's some rookie or something. He's done a lot of good for this team & has been effective. I think he deserves better. Thoughts?

I would be all about giving him another shot but we are stacked with infielders right now. Unless he can play 3rd to bench Crede's non-hitting ass then whats the point?

I dont really find him funny unless he's ranting about the latest Flubbs f***up. Aside from that he's a total f***twit.

I want him back big time but I'm curious about whether the crowd here thinks we can handle not having Maggs around here. I say no.

Dude. You cant have a deal like that without Paulie. I saw him get thrown out on what shoulda been a single to right once a few years ago. Wheels..........LMFAO!!!!!!!!!

Agreed. The price of action is always less than the price of inaction.

What do you mean a joke??!??! They got SCOTT SULLIVAN!!! and TONY GRAFFANINO from us. They are the powerhouses for all of the American Leauge to respect and fear!!!! At least that's what Harold Reynolds would say.

Look who owns the media though. Of course they'd say that.
