QUOTE (VAfan @ May 14, 2008 -> 07:48 PM) I was skeptical of this team to begin the year. Then, when the offense seemed to be reminiscent of 2006, I even got kind of excited. That excitement has now passed. I'm ready to conclude that KW's tweaking plan is not going to work, and the sooner we get on with building a team that might work, the better. I would start by trying to trade Jim Thome and Paul Konerko before the trading deadline. My prime goal would be to dump salary and open slots for two young players we already have -- Brian Anderson and Josh Fields. But it's also possible we could get something in return. Would the O's give us Brian Roberts for Paul Konerko? Paulie would appear to be an upgrade for them at 1B, plus he's signed long term, which Baltimore might like. (I don't know if Konerko is untradeable yet -- has he passed the veto stage? -- but if not, that's all the more reason to move him NOW.) Call this idea crazy if you like, but it's the "leaders" of this team that upset me the most. Can we ban the trade guys who have zero percent chance of being traded threads. Everyday i read a new thread about trade kong, trade thome, cut thome, trade dye, trade crede.... enough is enough THEY ARE NOT GETTING TRADED!!

Why not!! I like OC in the 9 hole because of my deep hatred for him lol..... Just think though guys if we win the next 2 ( very possible with Lackey's first start off the dl, and Judy Garland may get crushed) we would be up on a tough west coast trip so far... Im gonna start thinking positive again!

i say we lead off uribe....hes been getting on base more than oc lol

I consider every player in the MLB an "athlete"

im so sick of everyone b****ing... all it does is make it worse. Saying its impossible for a team who is 2 games out in May to win a division is ridiculous.

Jamie Burke: Getting killed by Tori Hunter

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ May 13, 2008 -> 07:03 PM) Do something productive and the Sox fans will support you too. Agreed!! Stop your whining OC and hit the freaking ball

f*** IT.... lets win!!

at least uribe has been good the last week lol.... even drawing walks

Im getting sick of Mark

I never like when the sox face a pitcher with a 0-0 record because that probably means we have not faced him.... everyone knows our track records vs new faces but Lets get this s*** done!

Im officially sick of Thome

My bad on the Washburn, i meant king felix. BA 3-4 double, SB, 2 RBI

QUOTE (Wanne @ May 9, 2008 -> 09:09 PM) NO SEXSON Either! NEW YORK -- Seattle slugger Richie Sexson was suspended for six games and fined Friday by Major League Baseball after charging the mound and throwing his helmet at a Texas pitcher the previous night. It seems like everything is shaping up for a sox sweep. Everything is falling into place. No bedard, no washburn, no sexson!~

QUOTE (gosox41 @ May 9, 2008 -> 04:46 AM) Outside of 2005, it seems like the Sox play awful on the west coast, especially on the first extended trip out there. I'm not sure why they play so lousy but it is so frustrating. I believe the west coast trip problems started back when Manuel was manager and he brough in Todd Rizzo to face the Angels (I think it was the Angels). The Sox would up blowing a decent sized lead, Rizzo was mentally shot, and I remember Manuel asking Rizzo if he could breathe. Ever since it's been one thing after another. Can this year be any different? It would be nice to break the losing trned of bad west coast play as well as the crapbal we've watched the last weeks. We need a nice 8-2 run in this trip, but I'm betting we go 3-7. I wish I had time to look up old box scores but it seems like every year the bullpen blows 2-3 games on the trip and this is also seeems to be the trip where the SP's start to come down to earth a bit. Here's hoping the Sox get it going for once on this trip and fall into the usual sucky losing baseball we've experience oh so much out there. Bob Agreed!

But we are struggling too...they may expect a win lol. Anyway go Sox

Lets forget about the week before, we have won 2 out of 3!!

this is getting annoying.

that makes me more sick then them actually not hitting.

Where is andy gonzalez when we need him?

and depression sets in...

well at least that will stop the "bring up fields talks" for a while. Hopefully he heels quick though!

Looking good!!! I like this new lineup!
