QUOTE(shoota @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 12:40 AM) True. Like I said though, getting away from Rothschild and Baker could help him tremendously, and pairing him with Coop could be magical. Not even Coop can help with an injury.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 12:25 AM) So this is what I've gathered from you: Lets trade our best prospect(calling bmac a spect since he's gonna be a starter but is in the pen now) for a pitcher who used to be good but has just sucked so far this year and is an injury risk, yet lets also trade Chris Widger for Miguel Olivo because Olivo is having a good year but Widger has the history of being able to handle a pitching staff well. I'm glad there's people like him in this world who will never sniff a GM job in any profession. Prior has only pitched 200+ innings once in his whole career and even that year he got injured. He's gotten injured every year he's been in the bigs. Ever since his 03 season (where I say those are his career numbers) he's era, hits per innings pitched, earned runs, hr's, and walks have all incresed and his strikeouts have decresed (even though I'll give him that he's still has a nice K's per 9 innings pitched going for him) and I'm not going to even say he's only 14 games above .500 for his career whereas Freddy is 42 games above .500. Not that I'm defending Freddy this year, but I will defend he is a better "pitcher" than Prior regardless of Prior having the better stuff (even though that stuff of his is not the same or is his increased age.) I will back Freddy's career numbers if you like and post more comments but I don't feel that's nesessary.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 12:14 AM) jreedfan8 sucks. That poster is a retired legend. He now hides off the name SoxAce, but can still be spotted when Reed's name is mentioned. That's how you can tell he's still there.

QUOTE(shoota @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 12:03 AM) I'd gladly trade McCarthy and Montero for Prior and Williamson/Eyre/Dempster. Congratulations, the cubs just ass raped us in that deal.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 12:07 AM) He doesn't have the same mistique as Olivo. Miguel was already the s*** before he was dealt for Garcia, now he's a legend. The real, and only legend in that deal was Jeremy Thomas Reed. Don't you ever make that mistake again..... EVA!!

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 08:35 PM) Brandon McCarthy still has shown me nothing really. I also don't like how he throws the ball anymore. He was better off with his mechanics he used last year. That over the top stuff looks like crap to me. And he also doesn't throw hard. Cotts came from Oakland. He has some power and I think that's a reason why he's suceeded. Guys who "know how to pitch" and don't have the power stuff usually are the guys who heavily depend on their defense. Over the course of their careers, they usually are inferior to the power guys. Think about it. The only top 5 pitcher ever that wasn't a power pitcher is Greg Maddux and you see how much he's struggled in the playoffs. I've been saying it for awhile. You need guys who have power. Guys who don't have it usually have no room for error, or else they get rocked. Case in point Mark Buehrle. BTW, Get rid of Widger and trade for Blanco. At least he can call a game, won't care if he's a backup and can play some defense. I love it. What a comedian. The next Dave Chappelle. Oh and by the way, the bottom part of your post is right and I agree with.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 01:33 AM) Wow, that is ridiculous. I agree. How Mark actually got a win when the Widge was catching is beyond me.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 01:19 AM) I'm just wondering if anyone can answer this question honestly for me, what exactly does Scott Podsednik do that is above average? From what I can tell he doesn't have a single tool that can be considered excellent. Only thing I can think of is his batting eye besides getting alot of SB and being caught a crap load of times. Excellent disipline at the plate even though he probably stares more at strike three than anyone. To go from striking out 90-100 times in milwakee and only shortening that to 75 from last year (not using this year) is pretty incredible. The most that makes sense though is his lack of power. Going from the 9-12 homerun days, to the 0-2 homeruns now is above average when you think about it.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 01:15 AM) But how motivated do you have to be when you are tapping a playboy playmate all the time. And also so hot!! OMG! Like he so is!! -Katy He is also going to be in the Hall of Fame as well. Oh s*** nevermind, just his bat.

Cub fans easily. Sawx fans might be the biggest pricks, but cub fans have a combo of unlikeable s*** in them.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 01:03 AM) Ok, so you link to my profile as evidence of something or other, you sir are a fool. I love how you changed your sig from "I still love you Widger" to "The roller of curveballs" Nice thought.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 12:59 AM) I diss him because he sucks, when have I ever said he's my favorite player? Youz a busta I'm too lazy and tired to do any PWNing for today so I'll let you off the hook mmmmm k? Your sig is sweet by the way.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 12:55 AM) He sucks and you're a jerkass. Fish u nicca. EDIT: I also find it histerical that you diss the Widge and he is so-called your favorite player on the sox. He is da man. No one can touch him.

QUOTE(whitesoxin @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 12:54 AM) I actually made a bet with my friend at the game that BA would hit a homer in his second AB today. If BA did it, I would win $10. If he didn't, I gave my friend 50 cents. It turns out he lined out to second and I lost 50 cents. Cheap ass..

Widge is da man.

I was pissed that Ozzie took him out in the 8th for a pinch hitter. We need mo BA!

Two words: Joseph.Hunter.

:o :o Flexible + beautiful face + smokin bod (with junk in trunk) + my age + a great nationality + a competitor (she wants to win ) + pretty wealthy = my dream woman.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 12:09 AM) E: None of the above

The only sox pitcher that I will bash at all, and everyone else should too and deservingly so. Just not the same guy. f*** meatball pitching Montero bring me Tracey.

I'm glad to see BA getting a couple hits in today's game! :headband Tigerfan.. your awesome, but take the "relieved" post down a couple notches and you got how I feel. We are too good to be giving up leads.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 5, 2006 -> 11:44 PM) KEEP UP THE FIGHT! DO NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT! VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE! NO AMOUNT IS ENOUGH -- VOTE VOTE VOTE! Damn your post is deseptive. I actually thought we had till 12 midnight to vote, so I voted really quick (not sure how many times but it was alot) but god damn you..

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jul 5, 2006 -> 11:24 PM) Liotta got rocked again, ERA at 4.93. Ugh.... :puke

Once Garland has a meh/terrible outing his next start, I expect that Jon bashing thread to be bumped by someone. The real question is... WHO?

That's awesome!! I also know so many people (mostly girls) who didn't know who to root for (more of a Chicago fan type) back a couple years ago. Now they go to more games than I do. To the sox fans..
