QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:41 AM) And we are winning with AJP; exactly my point. We won with Castro as well, so no it isn't. The sox are winning because of their pitching. Not because of an individual. It doesn't matter what fingers AJ or Castro puts down. If they are not executing (or missing with) those pitches, the sox don't win.

I'll say this.. Don Cooper LOVES Edwin Jackson. Not like... Loves the guy. Maybe he sees something he wants to tweak. And looking at that 149 pitch no-hitter Kal posted... ya... not good. I'm Huddy's biggest fan and would hate to see him go in any case.. but def. not for Jackson.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:32 AM) Ya, because I clearly think that is a feasible possibility. Sorry, I've seen enough ridiculous proposals from posters who weren't kidding, I almost rule out the sarcastic ones.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:25 AM) Hudson/Viciedo/Flowers/Morel for Jackson/Upton. Let's do it. Let's not get carried away.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 11:05 PM) There are things about baseball that include chemistry. This team has it. It would be insane to "demote" him. Just insane to team chemistry/unity. Your like the 4th or 5th poster in the last 6 years that has said something about this. And I tell everyone of them to read my Don Cooper quote on top of my sig... something he said 6 years ago that I've left on out of all the quotes I've had in the past. Usually that does the trick, but your alittle more stubborn than the other posters in the past. Even Ozzie himself said something eerily similar to that quote just two or three days ago.

I'm gonna say 90% of soxtalk posters will approve this thread.

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 06:45 PM) Berkman since June 1st .259/.385/.465 .850 OPS and he even has 3 SB over that stretch, for July hes batting .233/.404/.521 .925 OPS. In June he was sporting an above average wOBA of .357 for July .392 inching closer to his career mark of .405. Lance is also holding it down with the glove 2.7 UZR. for some perspective Konerko has been a -6.8 UZR at 1B. And you know damn well Konerko is still going to be the 1B if the sox get Berkman regardless if he's better defensively.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 02:54 PM) Another sniper for the Heat? Miller, Jones and now House. Wow. That team is going to be unguardable. LeBron might actually have a triple-double season. Incredible to think about.

Randall Thorpe.. LOVE that kid's plate discipline. Heidenreich with a fantastic July.

Jersey Shore premier was on tonight. Looked pretty decent. Don't know if they will top the first season, but it looks promising.

Quentin.

Yikes... Fun curve ball though.

Alexei... man he's been beasting.

For a guy with a messed up shoulder, Brent Morel ain't doin too bad with the stick.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 04:29 PM) From the team's twitter feed: http://twitter.com/OFFICIAL_TIGERS/status/19774611329 Tigers acquire Jhonny Peralta from Indians for minor league pitcher Giovanni Soto. #mlb Well, we're f***ed. WHAT... WHA??!?! (and yes I know their first names are spelled differently)

Alexei.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 02:51 PM) Note to self: Must not get drawn into another Shipps penis thread. I was thinking Jason hacked into shipps account and made alittle revenge penis thread.

Welcome Jackie! Always good to have another ST poster with great/inside information to share. We've now had sox prospects, girlfriends/wives/moms of sox prospects, and MLB players (though now alot on other teams) post here and possible FO guys.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 04:40 PM) The Twins lineup is currently 5th in the AL in runs. The Sox are 8th and probably would be 7th if the Angels hadn't played 4 more games than us. They're a good lineup, but they're by no means putting up an awe-inspiring season like I thought they could. There are doing this with Morneau on the DL mostly this month, Hudson missing time on the DL, Punto/Hardy's .366 OBP vs lefties on the DL at one time, and about a 40% Joe Mauer since May. Their line-up is legit. Young is having an incredible year, and I don't expect that to last, but Kubel and Span are having down years for their perspectives. They need a 3B though.. but the way Valencia is hitting, they might be even more dangerous and don't need to trade to get one. Their pitching is what I never would have thought would be this good. (though I told wite a while back Liriano was going to be very good or "back" this year) Thank god Joe Nathan is gone for the season. Rauch would have made for an excellent set-up man (or a solid MR in the 7th inning to turn to Guerrier).

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 04:49 PM) Oh yeah, looks like Ben Sheets is out for the season due to flexor tendon surgery. From Susan Slusser of the SF Chronicle: Is that potential career ending? That is his second one.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 04:37 PM) Point is...our #1 guy, the single most expensive player on our roster, has in fact gone down. We can't be in that bad of shape if we can survive that. Exactly. And the sox are just fine with Daniel Hudson stepping in as well. Only problem is how much patience will we have to go through the growing pains in a pennant race.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 10:36 PM) What about Brett Myers? He's been throwing very well lately but he shouldn't command an exorbinant price tag. Geez.. I mention him once early in this thread (before his good game vs the Cubs tonight) now I got you and fathom (in another thread) backing me up with it?! Give credit where credit is due people. In all seriousness, I think he would be a fantastic pickup for a contending team as a 4 or 5 in the rotation. (especially one in the NL) Astros brass however are now saying they don't want to trade him. Google why (I already gave part of why earlier here) and you might shake your head as much as I did. There is a reason why that organization is freaking terrible.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 11:37 PM) In my softball league tonight, I ended up ruining my pitchers perfect game when I made a throwing error at 3rd base. I really f***in suck at life. Alexeiiiii...... NO! NOOOOO!!! NOOOOO!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!

Bulls in trade talks for Rudy Fernandez. Could be a very good match. Portland is crazy though if they are still asking for the moon. Bulls draft pick(s) "should" be able to get that done.
