QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ May 25, 2005 -> 09:29 PM) I guess you missed the game Tuesday. Ya, he was dominate than. Of course I was thinking Ozzie you fool, just go with Hermy Marte is throwing the crap out of the ball right now and I love it. When Marte is on he's my favorite reliever in baseball to watch (next to Gagne).

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ May 25, 2005 -> 09:28 PM) Gameday made it seem like those two fly balls to Rowand that ended the game were caught just in front of the wall. How far were they? They were hit hard. Angel fans all around were going nuts, than the season ticket holder behind us was looking at me standing up and clapping and I'd see him laugh (cause he knew I was right and it was staying in the park). They connected on them and Hermy was getting ahead of the count, but it was to centerfield which is going to be hard. Prides was the harder hit of the two. I saw him come up and was nervous, just figuring cause they showed his career stats against the Sox and it must be the only team he's ever done anything against. Like .322 in 22 games.

Now lets go get em tomorrow

Woot 2 in a row. Man was Freddy dominate. IF it weren't for Dallas McPherson having two very good ab's against Freddy, I think he would of ended up going the distance. Also I thought Paulie had a good shot on the ball that Erstad ripped past him in the 8th inning for a double. It looked like a very similar play to earlier in the game where one was ripped at him and he turned the double play (still the ball was absolutely crushed and he had little time to react). Frederico...Paulie...Marte...Hermy...YES :cheers Now no matter what or how bad they lose tomorrow (unless someone gets hurt or something) I'm gonna be pleased with this series. A split in Anaheim is a victory in my book. And if they can pull another one tomorrow...even better. Can't wait, I'll be done with school and will actually get to watch some BP.

Oh ya, been there done that. Usually I just look for an open window.

QUOTE(danman31 @ May 25, 2005 -> 05:07 PM) Well you didn't get it up for a while so I'm not going to sit around and wait till the draft to get it up. If you want your edited piece up and Jason doesn't get it up send it to heads or myself. Nah its my fault. He got it to me pretty much immediately. I just haven't been back at the office since than so I haven't had that version. Schools been about the only thing on my mind. So I must say thank you to the two of ya...for trying to make my grammar stink, just a little bit less Last final tomorrow

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 25, 2005 -> 12:29 PM) On average, how much sleep do you guys get per night or per 24 hour period depending on your schedules? 7 hr's probably. During finals week its more like 6 (simply because my tests are ass early). So tomorrow night I plan on sleeping like 10 hours. I love sleep.

QUOTE(BuehrleTheAce @ May 25, 2005 -> 02:41 PM) Aaack, all my hard work down the drain! I'm so depressed... Its my fault. I've been swamped with finals and haven't been back to the computer I have that version on. Once I go back I'm going to swap them.

QUOTE(jamalmanburg @ May 25, 2005 -> 12:04 AM) I was at the game tonight too. Upper deck, behind home, first row. Surrounded by jackasses in red shirts. They heckled the crap out of Crazy Carl during his first at bat. As soon as he hit that ball I was on my feet screaming. He shut em up quick. 1.) some orange county meathead sitting behind me was talking about how US Cellular was such a crappy ballpark. Anyone at the game might have noticed that aside from the setup behind home and the fountain in center that shoots off after every batter, the cell and angels stadium are configured almost exactly the same. Nice work angels fans. 2.) los angeles angels my ass. I live in LA. It took me an hour and a half to get out to the park tonight. And that was in light traffic. Great victory tonight. Wish it could have been at our own crappy ballpark. We must of been pretty close. I was in section 420 about 6 rows up which is pretty much right behind home plate in the UD. There was a guy sitting in front of me with a Dick Allen jersey on. I figured he'd be a big time fan wearing that kind of jersey but he wasn't. Then there were 2 guys sitting a few seats down from me that were big time Sox fans and were pretty cool. I was surprised at how few Sox fans were there, although when Everett hit that homer you could hear a decent amount. Usually there are more of them at these games. I'll tell you one thing, you should be happy thats all it took to get there from LA, LOL.

QUOTE(credescrew24 @ May 24, 2005 -> 10:58 PM) hey where were u sitting at tonights game? a few sox fans were around me and i was just curious if u might be one of them....i was in right field in row N wearing a black thomas jersey....well get back to me! awsome game huh!!!!! I was in the upper deck behind home plate about 6-7 rows up. I'll be at tonights game sporiting my Buehrle jersey. And hell ya, that game was just a blast. I was nervous as hell in the bottom of the 9th but I was glad Ozzie stuck with Buehrle, he pitched freaking amazing.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ May 24, 2005 -> 10:03 PM) Idonno that Adam Miller dude in the tribes system could give him a run for his money.. But yeah Felix Hernandez is what you call a future cy young winner. Miller is really good too, but doesn't come even close to Hernandez, imo. I do recall talking to a couple of the media guys last year and both were left stunned after seeing Miller come in and kick the crap out of their respected affiliates. Miller can throw the heat thats for sure. Still I rate Hernandez in a class of his own.

Garcia (4-3, 3.56 ERA) VS Washburn ( 3-2, 3.54 ERA) Go get em Freddy....let the Sox become 2-0 with myself in attendance On a sidenote, this is my first game thread of the year.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 24, 2005 -> 06:27 PM) How about that at bat in the first inning ... talk about giving 100%, great approach and fouls off some tough pitches and then drills a HR. Everett is a professional, he just showed why. That whole at bat I was up swearing about how Everett would joke. One thing for sure, when I bash a player, they make sure they make me look wrong Crede with 2 outs the day after I give up on him (and they were missiles) and Everett had some nice at bats. I was shocked when he actually turned on Bartolo's fastball and it was a no doubter.

QUOTE(Wedge @ May 24, 2005 -> 09:58 PM) We're giving up an awful lot in that deal. Maybe Crede, Liotta and one of Tracey, Lummy, Whisler. Otherwise... that's just too much. Ooops, meant to say Liotta or Gio.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 24, 2005 -> 06:20 PM) For those of you complaining about the credibility of the rumor, just sit back, relax and partake in some intelligent baseball chatter. There have been some great--and I mean great--points made by both camps. Personally, I think there may be some vaildity to this "rumor." GM's keep in contact regarding players/talent all the time. I guarantee one thing and I know Jim said it too, but if Chavez is available you know damn well Kenny is going to call and at least find out what the asking price is. Kenny will do whatever it takes to help this club as long as JR ok's the financial aspect of it and assuming it makes sense for the Sox.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 24, 2005 -> 06:07 PM) You are right in the sense of young pitchers being an unsure thing, and going for the established player who can put you over the top. No doubt about it. McCarthy is the best Sox pitching prospect in over a decade. Great mechanics, and he's smart, very competitive, and unflappable. Very rare combo. As you said, if it can happen w/o BMac, bring it on. I do not see the Sox trading any of the 6 starters, they are tired of getting burned by not having starter depth. That's also why they have a couple of retreads in Charlotte ... just in case. It is a long season. I agree...in the end I would be very very hard pressed to ever deal Bmac the way he's pitching right now. He just has all the intangibles plus good stuff and pinpoint control. The guy has a shot to be a similar pitcher to Prior.

QUOTE(farmteam @ May 24, 2005 -> 05:50 PM) Alright, I have no idea what responses were made to this, and I have no idea where the thread headed since I haven't read the rest of it, but I'll comment on this point. Anyways, without BMac, who do we include for Huff? Our strength is the outfield, but the D-Rays bar none have the best Outfield depth for an organization. There's Crawford and Baldelli already at the major league level, and in the minors there's Gomes, Gathright, and Young. There's also Hamilton, if he ever gets his head screwed on right. So, who would we give up? Some combination of Crede, Tracey and perhaps Ray Liotta? Too much? Too little? I'd offer up Crede, Liotta or Gio and than someone like Tracey, Lummy, Whisler. Its a hell of a deal for the Rays, they'd be getting some high potential guys.

QUOTE(Princess Dye @ May 24, 2005 -> 08:33 PM) "AAAAH": Podsednik going home on contact, even if it was the smart call "AE AE WHOA YES": Paulie bobbling the 2 out grounder and then flipping off balance to Buehrle these are the actual sounds i made, i think you all made similar ones. You should of heard me in the stadium. I was going nuts on the one with Paulie. I was just hoping and hoping and when he made the catch me and this Sox fan sitting behind me were screaming at the top of our lungs, LOL.

Crap my mistake. I edited that in the copy I had but I never gave that copy to Dan. I've been so swamped with finals. Thanks for getting that up Dan

Awesome game to watch. Definately the best game I've seen all season. Buehrle was dynomite and I must tip my cap to Fartolo who pitched a hell of a game. Great Win Sox I'm happy I got to see em win for once in Anaheim. May the same happen again tomorrow

QUOTE(dasox24 @ May 24, 2005 -> 07:01 PM) Yeah, that's who it was. That guy is bad ass. He went 7 strong, giving up 0 runs with 9 k's last night. Probably the best pitcher in all of the minors. I saw him throw a game this spring and all I could say is WOWZERS. If he stays healthy and improves his control...the guy will win a cy young or two.

I'm assuming he talked to Bull. I Bull on the site last night and I'm guessing Alex had shot him a PM or email or something. My guess is Bull was borrowing someone elses computer. Bull if you do happen to see this...best of luck in the recovery

For the 1st time this year I finally get to say this...Time to head out to the Sox game

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ May 24, 2005 -> 01:07 PM) I was gonna say the same thing Nuke. He's brought his right had off of the bat a number of times while swinging left handed. It looks like his lead wrist is bothering him. it doesn't seem to be buggin him while he's hitting right handed, hence the bizzare splits this year. Rex Hudler was mentioning this all day yesterday saying how Everett kept looking at his hand when he'd get out as if it was bothering him. I know one thing, he's cheating to catch up to the fastball (still can't do it) and because of that he's way out in front of every off speed pitch down and away. It could definately be his wrist though.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 24, 2005 -> 04:00 PM) So what do you do with Crede? You're suggesting trading Crede to Cincinnati for Randa, not following your logic ... ? I could see the Reds being interested...but the Sox would have to get something more in return and I just don't know what else the Reds have to offer (that they would be willing to part with). They wouldn't deal Ryan Wagner (even if the Sox through in a guy like Munoz so the deal doesn't make sense, imo). Crede >>>> Randa (trade value wise).
