Nice, Rowand and Harris are staying up. So this means Jimenez was moved but no other major leaguer was moved in the deal or at least its not likely. THe big question is who are the other two guys in the Rangers deal.

I'm so excited to watch the game tomorrow. I URGE EVERY SOX FAN IN THE AREA OF CHICAGO TO GET OUT TO THE CELL TOMORROW IN SUPPORT OF THE SOX. They are trying to win it all this year.

I want to see him with a high obp and everything else. I am hopoing Everett pays off. This could be a huge move. If its just Jimenez then it works out just fine to me. The Sox are playing to win and I have no problem with that.

I like this move because its the first time I can ever remember that the SOx have said WE ARE GOING TO WIN IT ALL AND IF WE DON"T WERE SURE AS HELL GONNA TRY. Just don't include Cotts GO SOX GO

Everett has solid numbers. I'm guessing the Rangers are paying his salary, but two great prospects wouldn't be a good move, one good one (Jimenez and then Rauch woudl be alright).

I'm thinking Alomar and then Everett at the top of the order or that would be my simple guess.

If we give up Neil Cotts, I'll be ticked, would of much rather gave them Jon Rauch. Plus Rauch is more major league ready for the Rangers or thats what I'd sell them.

Anytihng official on Everett. If its Cotts and Jimenez I don't like it, just Jimenez and two lesser guys (One probably Rauch the other probably a lower guy); Me guessing; then it isn't bad. If we give up the two of them, then I'll be dissapointed. LIke the Alomar deal a lot.

s***, I get back from the airport and this is what I come home to I sure hope Cotts isn't a part of it. In the Alomar trade we gave them Ring for Robbie and they pay everything. Sounds like a good deal to me. Now this Everett deal is interesting, if Jimenez is the only good guy in the deal, then I'm happy, but if its Cotts and him I'm worried. Either way, this team is making a HUGE push.

You should actually read what was posted.... Before giving up the home run to Jones on Wednesday on a belt-high fastball, Koch had posted a 1.89 ERA over his previous 20 appearances. So it's not like he has been woefully ineffective. Thats why I haven't been near as down on Koch. I am disturbed by his drop in velocity though.

Sweet, Vince, you'll be back in the Windy City, I'll be in Iowa picking some corn At least Saturdays game is on WGN. Oh ya, SWEEP!!!!!!!!!

How the heck did this guy get a job. Last I checked the all star game is for players that are doing great this year. Hell, why don't we put Ozzie Guillen and Harold Baines in it because they had great careers, or better yet put Jose Canseco out there. Gimme a break, this isn't an all decade team.

Hey, you can't let boards get to you. We all have opinions and not everyone is going to agree with eveyrone all the time. The key is to argue your points without bashing the other person and it looks like your learning that. Just relax a bit and realize were all Sox fans here. While some of us may get pissed and really go nuts, we all share one common belief and thats that we want the Sox to win the series BADLY. Here's to hoping the Sox not only kick the Cubs butts, but continue to roll and continue to improve their fundementals and get into the playoffs.

Pretty good?? You can say that again. LOL I am glad we agree for once. Hell Brando, even I'm with you. Reed is what this team needs. I read a great article on Reed today in Baseball Prospectus. It was a free premium article preview. Here

Harris

Whooo, 4 Points. Thanks sideshow, somehow you won the tiebreaker for the loser of the contest

Daubach

Not by me. You have a facility for subtlety and nuance that few possess. Even if I disagree with you on a particular point I feel that I have to bring what passes for my A game to the forum to debate you. I agree with that statement. Brando isn't afraid to rip someones post to shreds. I like that, cause it keeps you on your feet. Too bad he'll never see the light on Jose

Lol Brandon, you've thrown compliments my way so I wouldn't be too worried about gettin banned any time soon After all, Jose is about the only person that we disagree on. And I WILL ADMIT he's defense is improving BIG TIME this year. To bad his pitch selection is awful. I have no problem having Jose as a guy off the bench.

Damn

Still the Sox aren't doing the little things and that is continuing to keep them out of first place and is keeping them from going on a serious run. Until they start doing those things, I will have quite a few doubts. I love the pitching though Now lets beat the Cubs.

Buehrle went the distance right?

Crede has been hitting a lot bettet lately. I bet he's close to .280 the past two weeks. He had two hits yesterday.

I'd probably tell him thats a night. I think he could go more though. If they don't go with Buehrle, then I have no problem with Koch coming in.
