Trying to obtain the pieces to go for a 3rd straight World Series title

Seriously, people need to learn how to post with proper spelling and grammar. I already bring down the site with about 34000 + posts of pure unadultrated grammatic filth. We really can't afford to have anyone else doing so

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 12:18 PM) sounds like a good guy. Nice job! by the way, what's his heater clocked at? He's a big dude. He typically pitches in the low 90's from what I know (haven't seen him in person) and can ocassionally get it into the 94 MPH range. But its hard to say for sure cause the gun in Bham is a bit off from what I've always been told. And the few times I was in Winston Salem it seemed like there gun wasn't very accurate either.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:28 PM) Dammit power is out. I hope it is back in a few hours at most. Your post keeps making me think, how the hell are you posting with the power out.

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 11:24 AM) Its huge b/c santana lost his last start.. at least the team did i think, now this game. thats gonna cost them bigtime. Well punto made a throw that was low i guess.. but it was still mourneu's falt. All 3 plays that were f'ed up were b/c of the canadian. 2 on balls that he didn't pick and one on a groundball to his right The TWins came back Santana's last start. It was the game that Bonderman was rolling in until the 8th inning when the Twins came from behind to win.

I assume Arnie Munoz is still on the 40 so while I know Ozzie doesn't like him, he's the type of guy that you could at least use in a real pinch. I think Stewart will be promoted once the Knights are done, but in general I don't expect to see too many guys, especially since the Knights would be furious if we pulled a bunch of guys from there roster the one year they actually make the playoffs (they've been futile for a few years).

QUOTE(danman31 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:17 PM) From the looks of it, our list is going to surprise a few. Basically, it doesn't matter after the top 3. Most of the guys from 11-30 are pretty interchangable. Ya, some former pretty highly rated prospects will not be getting much love. Were pretty much sick of certain guys getting love even though they can't produce for crap. At the same time, I hate giving guys that produce but lack the abilities to be very good major leaguers. Either way...our system has to be one of the worse in all of baseball.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 10:12 AM) What kind of strip clubs have you been hanging out in... Not that there is anything wrong with that I meant lady friends that you bring as opposed to the ones you pay for.

Hope you guys have a good one

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 09:44 PM) Highlight of your life Jas..? Ya, I'm not a big strip club guy. Although it is fun if you have some girls tag along.

Angels were dumb enough to pitch to Frank and he had a single that tied the game for about an inning late in last night's game. Also drew a walk off ROdriguez in the 9th (leadoff variety) but than Krod struck out the side. I actually gave Frank a big ass ovation when they announced him and I'll be doing the same today. Its funny too, cause I've booed him on ocassions as well.

Mirabeli is not an adequate replacement as an everyday player. I wonder if there are any catchers out there that are decent enough who would slide through waivers.

Why in the heck with him coming back from a shoulder injury would you have him throw a 122 pitch simulated game (or do they count the warmup tosses as pitches??). QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:04 AM) Yeah, Mulder's definitely been real bad this year. Plus, the Sox can't afford to take a chance on a 'reclamation' project. I don't know why you posted the whole reliever list. I'd say our bullpen is set next year with Jenks, MacDougal, Thorton, and Cotts already there, along with a small shot of Riske being resigned. And then there's Boone Logan and Sean Tracey who will probably be given shots to win the last spot in the 'pen. None of those OFers look too appealing, either. We'll have a spot open in LF, and that really might be it. I could see the Sox standing pat and going with Sweeney in left. I think Kenny might go nuts to get a real dominant starting pitcher (Oswalt?). Ya, I think it will be trade market or bust with maybe a bench signing or a potential swing man. Whether its Oswalt, moving one or two of our starters, going after a guy like Crawford and/or Oswalt or whomever it seems like the best way to potentially fill our needs would be via trade.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 11:58 PM) Fields, Broadway, Sweeney in that order I assume. Cheater

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 11:51 PM) Just use Brandon McCarthy and Brian Anderson. Can we use Jenks too and Lumsden and Cortes and hell just pick Garza and Carillo since we could have had those guys (not saying we should have took them, just saying it would be nice to have some good names on the list). After about 3 our list is toast.

We are having a hell of a time right now. We've came to the conclusion that are system is absolutely HORRID.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 04:25 PM) Having Fields lead off would be pretty freakin ugly imo. If he plays next season, I'd expect him to have an obp of about .330 with at least 180 k's. Josh will hit for some power right away if he gets up here, but I expect himt to have a rougher start than BA did, I really do. Ya, Fields in the leadoff spot would equal a disaster.

I think with the way Ozzie manages and if he is our manager we got to get a new speed guy to replace Pods. Carl Crawford is the perfect fit, the only question is whether we'll be able to make a deal that the Drays would have interest in. I think we could use one of our starters to get prospects, than move some of those prospects and some of our own (not named Bmac) to land Crawford. Following that move Pods and maybe someone else for a prospect that could maybe help out our pen or be a 6th starter option. With the freed up salary, maybe make one other move and who knows maybe Kenny goes out and moves two starters with one bringing back prospects and the other bringing back another starter.

QUOTE(BamaDoc @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 03:46 PM) Last time my son and I saw you in Aneheim was a great night. We begin again!

QUOTE(JERMAINEDYE4MVP @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 03:49 PM) When did I say he's an ACE? I'm saying insert B-McC until both Buehrle and Garcia are rested enough. Dude, can you please stick to the topic and not talk in abreviation? Thanks I was just answering that posters question. I think its not a bad idea to shake things up, but I don't know whether the pitchers would realistically just accept going on the DL unless they really were worn down. Plus I do think that its hard to get Brandon out there considering it would take some time for him to build his stamina. It may not be a bad idea though and I think that if we knew he could go out and do what he did last year in our rotation, it would be a no brainer to get him in the rotation. The problem is, with the Sox not picking up another reliever, they may not be able to do exactly that.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 03:45 PM) Have you played strawberry farms down there? great course...I think some old Angel like Bobby Grich or Gary DiSarcina co-owns it. Once, nice course. My dads friend was the attorney on that project. I think its Bobby Grich and a few other business men. ONly time I played it was with my dad though cause otherwise its too pricey. Tijeras creek is nice and when I was younger they had a pretty sweet junior rate where it was a flat fee for all the golf you wanted to do over the summer.

QUOTE(JERMAINEDYE4MVP @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 03:45 PM) What? What is that supposed to mean? Brandon McCarthy Is Not an Ace

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 12:43 AM) I can see why football rookies get paid more than baseball/basketball because shorter careers in general and contracts arent guaranteed.... But the amount that these guys are being paid is still ridiculous. I dont think they should be making half of what they do in there signing bonues. For example, Vernon Davis beind the highest paid at his position before ever taking a snap. Its why I think the smarter teams move down, take multiple guys and spread there cap room out much more even and end up having the cap space to actually resign there younger players that do succeed to extensions.

Mark...I'm going to wear your jersey tonight at the Angel game..make me proud.
