A lot of it is sarcasm on our part hoping, but they do have the type of owner that would try to pull something like that. They have some good young players ,but when I look at some of the stats they aren't all that magnificient and they have really overachieved in the pitching department, especially that ever so important bullpen area.

I just want to see playoff games first, and us win a series. I remember back when we played the Jays and loss, and now I remember the Mariners series. When we played the Jays I was real young and was just starting to love the Sox and Black Jack Mcdowell. I've still yet to see us do something in a playoff series so I'm ready.

Greg the one thing I wonder is if all this moving around will screw up Jimenez. I know it played into a large part of his struggles when he was in San Diego. He never knew when he was playing, where he was playing and where he was hitting. At least now its not really a when and what slot, but more of just position. Still, I think its hardest for a rookie to get jumbled around, because they need all they can to feel comfortable since they have so many things to worry about. If Jose does anything like he did for almost all of this season, then he should be simply cut.

Lets not forget that all star status, I say he makes a couple mill a year.

Hopefully they each can do it. It would be a cool consolation prize, although nothing even compares to playoffs.

His arm strenght is back, in terms of mph, but his stamina isn't and thats the big thing when it comes to starting and staying fresh. He'll have a lot of work to do this offseason getting everything back. This season was a good step up for him and he will definately have a shot at competing. Like I say, him and Glover are about the only two guys on our staff that really throw hard along with Osuna and Ritchie(not a strikeout guy though)

Two front line starters and were set, guaranteed. What are we going to get, I'll be happy with one and then if everything develops right, we could be able to compete for it all.

Daubach grounded out to 2nd, but Ramirez scored on the play. Two outs now in the Top of the 6th with Varitek due up.

Wunsch now replaces him as and gets Floyd to hit into a grounder, but Manny Ramirez advanced to 3rd. Ramirez hit a ground rule double to start the inning of BIddle. Biddle ended up going 5 innings giving up 6 hits, one run(o earned), but he does have a runner thats his on 3rd base with one out and Daubach at the plate.

Thats whats amazing. He may really of sucked but 30 hr's(28) and 90 rbi's is pretty stinkin good, especially when the guy is having the worse year of his career.

Good thing we got Nomar to line out. Yep, he loves to get in trouble, but he has that mentality where he will fight out of it.

Biddle loaded the bases with one out, then struck out Johnny Damon and then got Hillebrand to hit into a fielders choice, only one problem, Manos made an error and a run scored so now Biddle will have to face Nomar. Big Mistake Jose, Big Mistake.

Borchard is now 0-2 as he just struckout.

Jeff Liefer walked and then Joe Crede hit a 3 run homer. Way to go Crede and great job by Liefer to draw the 8 pitch walk.

Still 1-0 Biddle gave up a 2 out single to Ramirez but got Floyd to fly out to right to end the threat. Thomas, Maggs and PK are due up. Come on Sox, lets get some runs. I smell a opposite field base hit or double for Frank.

Well he gave up a leadoff walk, but settled down and got a double play from Sanchez and then got Damon out. To the bottom of the 3rd we go. MJ, Harris, and Manos.

Borchard is now 0-1 with a groudout to second.

Same thing happened with me, lol. Crede just knocked in Liefer though with a single and now Joe Borchard will step up

Rotating will make it hard for any of them to get in a constant groove. Jeff Liefer just ripped a two out double that will bring Joe Crede up with a runner in scoring position.

-Damon had an infield single -Hillebrand hit into a double play -Nomar Doubled -Ramirez got out, inning over.

Willie Harris-2nd Manos-ss Frank-Dh Maggs-rf Pk-1st Liefer-lf Crede-3rd Borchard-cf MJ-c Good to see Harris getting back to back starts and its also good to see Borchard in the lineup. On a side note its seems to me like Manuel is letting each catcher catch one game and then sit 2 games.

Maggs is a guy that could get there. Of course he still has a long way to go and I'll love watching him get their if he does. Konerko is one of those guys that probably won't get 500 but could make a push at 400 if he's consistent and continues to improve. If he can learn to hit the ball with power to opposite field he could have a couple 40 hr seasons. Of course Maggs could pass 500 and get blown away by Borchard and thats what I'm going to hope. Frank, Maggs and Joe B. all with well over 500 homers a piece. Wouldn't that be a fun thing to watch.

I promise you that around 1:00 that I'll be able to get everything that goes on after that. Of course thats 3:00 central time.

Definately. You going to be out there for a while or like a couple days? I know I'm going to be there for about 4 days, the only problem is I don't know when I'm going to be there till about 2 weeks before it happens cause I have to make sure I can skip a day of class, that way I get thurs,fri,sat,sun or fri,sat,sun,mon,tues something like that. Of course if I have a day off or spring break early, then it makes it a whole lot easier. One thing for sure, you'll have a ton of fun there.

Thats good news. Hopefully this next season will have a much better outcome record wise cause I know I got sick of having to write about them losing in almost every recap I wrote.
