Buchholz with a no-hitter for Boston through 8... I really hope he doesn't get this. If he does get this, all you will hear on ESPN for the next year is how Clay Buccholz is the best pitcher in baseball and should win the cy young award this season.
It's a damn shame we could have had him.

He's like the third best hitter on our team.
Not to mention he's a rookie which was obviously a rookie mistake. Can't fool the umps thinking you tipped the ball. Of all the rookies to hate on, Josh would be the least in my book.

Its like constantly posting about your ex-girlfriend, shes gone, sure shes hot and you still want to sleep with her, but shes gone.
Got any stories to share with us?

I'm confident my prediction of 68 wins will be fairly accurate.
We'll see. Even though my number wasn't that far of yours I don't believe, but I can be mistaken.

I like people bumping threads as long as it's not in the"HAHA, told you so!!!111!!" way.
^^^^^^^^^
BTW, someone should bump the record predictions for this team when it's all said and done. See who came close to the win total.
QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 12:00 AM)
It does seem silly to give up on a 22 year old lefty who has been pretty close to league average for a majority of the season and has shown more than a few flashes of brilliance, maybe we can keep Danks around.
Your very generous.

We're going to be in a similar situation next year as this one, where we'll have only two picks within the first 60 or so (depending on the number of sandwich picks). Resigning Dye and Buehrle has removed that possibility.
I keep forgetting that we did that. IMO, Sweeney not developing might have cost the sox future plans of 2 sandwich picks for now and the future as far as prospect development. I didn't wanna see Dye here next season but unfortunitely we will.

What if he signs with Boras and the Sox don't take him? What if we end up with the 2008 version of Matt Bush?
Sorry, I just can't root for my team to lose so they can gain a draft pick.
Well I would like to see us evaluate other teams options for the draft in the winter considering I don't believe we'll get the #1 pick (IMO, we'll fall #2 or 3 on the list) and see what other future studs can be had. Hopefully we can actually draft a player most on the board (esp. spect experts here) can agree on and see how good our farm system can become now with this draft class of high picks we will have.
