QUOTE (bulokis @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 11:18 PM) This team is so exciting to watch. I agree. I love watching the Rockies.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 11:14 PM) Brothers was someone a lot of us wanted the Sox to draft a few years ago I was one of his biggest fans as a prospect. LOVED him.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 11:03 PM) Ohman's been terrific since May. When used specifically as a LOOGY, he is a great asset. It's when Ozzie uses him like Thornton, s*** hits the fan. Yea he's been using him correctly. Though many of us thought he would be a decent LOOGY when signed but knew Ozzie's managing style.

Ehrhoff (his rights actually) was traded to NYI for a 4th round pick. Not that this means NYI will sign him (though I don't see a problem since they have a ton of cap room, unless he and his agent feels they aren't a contender, or feels he can get more money in free agency) but it was funny seeing all those Canuck fans on different boards saying they were signing all their pending FA back with ease.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 10:50 PM) I never have confidence about the Sox winning. I assume the worst will happen, and usually it does. I so wish I had the 2005, 2006 (first half) feeling back. I felt every game was ours no matter the match up or score in 6th inning or earlier. Ditto.

I'm just glad I get to watch my two favorite teams going at it! Rockies I wish I could watch more of. Very exciting young players they have.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 08:13 PM) The averages are similar but Reed had much better power, better plate discipline and better speed (stole 45 bases in 2003). And look where that landed him, lol. Baseball's a crazy sport. So did Chris Getz since college.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 07:24 PM) Kuhn getting the night off -- or promoted???? I would assume night off. And I would want Marrero to be promoted before him anyways. He's paid his dues.

QUOTE (La Marr Hoyt HOF @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 12:05 PM) Time for them to revisit how the voting works. Tired of seeing 5 Yankee starters including stiffs like Martin and has-beens like Jeter every year. There is alot of things the MLB has to revisit. All star voting, gold gloves, etc.

Sexy Lexi.

Cam Barker waived.. That Leddy trade looks more ridiculous for Minny by the day.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 09:53 AM) He went straight to The Show, though. No opportunity for our minor league coaching staff to sabotage his career. So did Carlos Quentin. Though I find that ironic since Greg Walker is the hitting coach.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 01:31 AM) I don't understand why people want to doubt Tyler Kuhn. I remember you saying the same thing about C.J. Retherford... and David Cook.

Sorry Slav but.. Laich resigned with the Caps. 6 yrs. 4.5 mil.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 08:52 AM) So JR Smith is a chucker but Jason Richardson is a good efficient score? Similar TS% for both but less shot attempts for JR... Well look at you comming out of the wood works. Nice checkmate post as well Willie.

According to this article, Kopecky signed a 4 year deal with Florida. Tallon still has alot of work to do to get to the cap floor. http://translate.google.cz/translate?js=n&...cnej_zmluve.htm

Well... he got "suspended."

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 09:54 PM) Probably best for all parties involved since you seem to speaking another language. No, he is just ridiculously smarter than you in basketball intellect.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 09:09 PM) Didn't we already have him once and give him away for nothing? We had him for literally 10 days and dealt him away for s*** in the off-season. Didn't even suit up for the Bulls. Obviously the Bulls value "character guys" so J.R. was not a fit there. As far as a team standpoint and need however, he is a perfect fit... a non crazy J.R. Smith.

QUOTE (LayelBurton @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 07:12 PM) Carlos Sanchez to Kannapolis Gonna keep a very close eye on this guy's progress. (I'm sure you will as well Dan)

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 09:25 AM) I want JR Smith. He would be an excellent second creator on offense and would fill our offensive void at SG nicely. Character issues be damned, give me talent. Would absolutely love him here. Good ball handler, can spread the floor, has size in the back court, excellent in transition, very athletic in the open and half court game for Derrick, "willing" defender. (and I say that loosely.. would love to see what Thibs can do with him and his athleticism, has a very good swing span) One of the better fits out there (along with Mayo, Affalo, etc.) for the Bulls for sure.. a sane J.R. Smith. Would love the Rodman-like craziness/attitude (whatever you wanna call it) for this team, but even Dennis was less crazy off the court.

Other than the w.sox of course, Mariners... by far.

Now this is how you make a game thread!

Brandon Short... yikes.

Alexei.
