Ya, I just posted a short blurb of that too. Rupe is the one I'd take on that list, although I like Pacheco a lot. If I were the Rangers I'd go with Rupe, Pacheco and Diaz if I was allowed to take those three.

Is the eight man of the list. Rick Hummel is not on the list. According to the Trib, Rupe and Webster is who the Rangers are intrigued at. If they take Webster, they can only take on other and the same goes for Yan and I'd guess Pacheco. They can't take two of the players on the first list. They can take three from list two, or one from list one and one from list two.

Miller has been coming along while Munoz is getting ripped again.

When the Cubs acquired him he was considered simply a first baseman/left fielder so I doubt he has too much range in center, but the guy must be versatile. Doesn't sound like he'd be that bad of a bench guy to be honest. He could be one of those guys that finally makes it up and can come up wtih some big clutch hits off the bench for a few years. Kind of like how the Yankees pull up some nobodies out of the minors every once in a while that do real good.

What Flingz said. Thats of course if your using internet explorer.

I truly believe Koch is hurt. While I know he has no movement, he can kind of get away with it when he has a 97 MPH heater and a couple lesser speed pitches so guys can't sit on one pitch. I think Manuel has it right. I really think Koch is a battler and at the end of the season we'll see him go under the knife.

Well, you could trade Koch for Weaver and someone and then move Wright to the bullpen. See how he handles one and two innings stints and then turn him into the closer. The only thing is its rather risky to turn him to a closer midseason with the Sox in the race. I do agree that he has what it takes to close. Unfortunately, this season I don't think Wright has been all that good early on. He seems to give up his runs in the first couple innings and then absolutely dominate as the game goes on. Of course he has such a high pitch count by the 6th inning that its hard for him to go deep into games. Rauch is the only one that could be ready and he's currently on the DL, so an in house replacement in the rotation just wouldn't work.

Nirvana was freaking awesome. At least you have Dave Grohl with Foo Fighters and QOS.

Yep, Mike is right. Thats why I always say we'd make good Co-Gms. He can be the statitician and tell me who has the great stats. Then I'll be like the old time scouts and be like, but that guy has breasts.

Come on everybody, lets just chill. To utter some famous words; "Can't We All Just Get Along".

While todays game sucks, it is just 1 out of 162 games. Were right there, and have just acquired two very good hitters. The starting pitching is really good and we have a pretty solid bullpen, its just in need of an additional swing man and a healthy Koch. No one is going to tell me there isn't something wrong with Koch. Still, the guy does have decent numbers since the start of the season (Under 3 last 24 or so). I just am worried that something is wrong with him. Things get bad, but this team is still good and they will bounce back. I'm very confident in that fact. Yes, this game sucked horribly, but whether we lose 20-0 or in this fashion its still a loss and thats that. The Sox can't think about this one, but only put it aside and win the next two and take the series and then move onto the next. We aren't going to win them all, the Sox are going to blow games, and thats the fact. This is the one that sucks cause the Sox let it slip away, but hte fact is they played damn good ball for 8 innings (The Sox) and one bad inning. The talent and team is there and they will win, they will go deep.

It has to do with your cookies I'm guessing. You'll want to delete your cookies. Then it should work perfect.

And in case ya don't know Cotts, the green is for sarcasm.

Huh

This is a big loss cause its against Tampa Bay. Sox had the chance to get one game over .500 I am a big Koch backer, but I'm scared s***less because he has no movement and its really hard to get away with that at 88 MPH. I'd really like to swing a deal for Urbina and unload Koch somewhere else.

f***. Koch gets rocked. Fastball was being clocked around 88

Yes, another bbq very soon. In between enough time to watch two innings of the ball game. Daubie is really crushing the ball.

Damaso has a 1-2-3 eighth inning and we go to the ninth with a 2-1 lead.

Hope your having a great BDAY Alex. You've done a hell of a job doing things around here. For your present, I promise not to give you any stats this week Have a good one (Thats Rootbeer)

Glad all is going well in Europe. And I hope that predictoin you made was the same one I made and it has the Sox finishing the season by beating the LA Dodgers or any other national league foe.

Top list? Ooooooooooooooooooooooo-kay. double, we actually agree for once...... I thought this list is somewhat weak for what I thought it might have been. Hell, if they let us pick the players, we could give them 4 guys from this list and not miss a beat. Don't get me wrong, there is talent on this list, but the Sox have better. Well I don't really care anymore if they take Ruddy Yan cause I am convinced he'll never hit enough to turn into an everyday major leaguer. Josh Rupe is the only guy on that list that I'd like to keep and I'm guessing he's the one guy the Rangers really want. But I can live with that. Also, to get Beltran we'd have two give up Webster, Honel, and Cotts or something like that.

There was a minor server thing yesterday that I know of, about a minute down. Typically if its down its just a minute period or so and its cause they are restarting the server. One of these hopefully I can get a server where its only us on it.

Yep Happy Birthday Alex and Happy Bday BMR I'm sure you both got big plans for today like BBQ's etc. Hmmm, barbeque, can't wait till later...

The on base part is the sixth tool. Arm strength is the fifth.

Welcome aboard. I like the idea of getting Tejada as long as the Sox don't lose everything. Jose is a valuable player though and I fear Reed is going to be lost in this trade. Since were only renting him, I'd rather make a push at Giles or a stud reliever or starter.
