Chipper Jones might be following him as well. I'd probably cry if I were a Braves fan.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 23, 2009 -> 09:36 PM) Are the Sox in danger of falling to 4th place Not to mention Cincy and Houston won so the sox will gain a game for the 10th pick (Oakland is also losing though)

According to Hawk in the booth from the game, he said its torn and Bobby is wearing a walking boot. Not sure if surgery is needed as of yet.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 23, 2009 -> 09:20 PM) Why not? Its a chance to see what the kid is made of in a game that doesn't matter. People have been clamoring for exactly what Ozzie just gave us. Agreed completely. Kinda wish we saw more of Nunez too actually. See that KW can look at some of these relievers making the minimum next season pitching well for us.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 11:27 PM) So far, here's where we stand in the bottom 15.. (top 10 picks, then the others) Washington 46-86 (probably will win the Bryce Harper sweepstakes) Kansas City 50-81 Pittsburgh 53-78 Baltimore 54-79 San Diego 57-76 Oakland 58-73 Cleveland 58-73 Toronto 59-72 Cincinnati 59-73 New York (N) 59-73 (Who'd thunk it?) Games back of top 10 Arizona 60-72 (1 game back) Houston 63-69 (3.5 games back) Sox 64-69 (4.5 games back) Milwaukee 64-67 (5.5 games back) Cubs 66-64 (8 games back) *Minnesota 67-65 (8 games back just to add them in here) Washington 51-99 Pittsburgh 56-93 Baltimore 60-91 Cleveland 61-89 Kansas City 63-88 New York (N) 65-87 Arizona 66-86 Toronto 68-83 San Diego 69-83 Houston 70-81 Games back of top 10 Cincinnati 70-81 (tied; better record last year) Oakland 72-79 (2 games back) *Sox 73-79 (2.5 games back) Milwaukee 74-77 (4 games back) Tampa Bay 77-74 (6.5 games back) Minnesota 78-73 (7.5 games back) Cubs 78-72 (8.5 games back) Updated after about 20 games. As you can see, some teams are now playing some good baseball since. Some.. aren't or weren't even on the list earlier. Sox are currently 13th overall as previously but gained a couple games in the standings not to mention it's more of a clusterf*** than before.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 10:51 PM) At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. People are, who they are. And we let them off the hook!

Jon Rauch sighting in the pen. I'm sure people remember the last time he pitched here, it was not pretty.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 09:08 PM) Some of us are down on him for his sub .200 average with the Sox right now. That's all. There's a difference between being down on him, and making posts that he is a bum, a terrible player, etc.. etc..

Though he's only 1-3, I gotta say it's encouraging to see the abs that Rios has had. He could have easily been 3-3, 2 hr's right now.

WHY IN THE f*** IS OZZIE LEAVING DANKS IN?!?! He had his 6 2/3 IP before these runs. What a moron.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 08:46 PM) ownage 16-30 5 homers against Danks now. It's past ownage, he's Danks' daddy.

Cuddyer is 15-29 lifetime against Danks. I'm sorry but there ain't too many guys who own a pitcher by that much.

I think Manship forgot he was suppose to shut us out.

Even when Pods runs the bases after a homerun, he still has an I.Q. of a retard. Geez.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 07:51 PM) Konerko for Justin Upton would work, except they have THEE Brandon Allen. Honestly, I'd do Flowers and Jenks for Upton with fillers mixed in on both sides. Arizona would laugh, then cry from laughter, then laugh some more. Justin Upton is a freaking stud in the making. Unless your talking Lincecum/King Felix, Zona probably ain't doing it. I feel sorry for B.J. though I'm sure he loves his little brother. Kinda sucks when your younger brother will be better in baseball than you are, not to mention is already more mature, better I.Q., and plays better D. Though that happens all the time in baseball as alot of younger brothers were better than their big brothers. Well.. I would get jealous as an older brother.

Wow..

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 07:23 PM) I'm unique You must really have a unique last name, cause Brian is one of the most popular names in the world. I know 5 of them alone.. if that.

Ima update our draft status in my thread from before later tonight. I know were still 13th overall, but if we lose tonight we would gain 2 games from before.

Well... OCab homers.. 2-0 Twins.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 06:52 PM) Eh... I thought it was kinda funny. I guess my skin is a lil thicker than others. I would be scared to say something like that though. I wouldn't wanna get smacked with a banstick... You need someone to show you the ropes my friend. That's not even worth a sniff of a ban/suspension from whats been said in the past on this board. That's what makes ST so unique, even with more rules.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 05:47 PM) I would've agreed last year, but Upton's having a terrible season and that will undoubtedly lower his trade value. Not to mention his propensity for laziness and mental mistakes. He's still only 25, and is cheap for a couple more seasons not to mention his potential is through the roof. Yes I know his season has been a nightmare, and he's been known as alittle less lazy than Rios, but he's a much better player than Crawford easily. In fact, Crawford is very overrated in my eyes. Upton has had one of his worst walk rates this year (51 BBs), and it's still better than what Crawford has put up his entire career in a season. Upton has the much better OBP, can also steal, and has untapped power (I think he'd be utter world in a hitter's park) which will have a much better OPS in the future. Sure he'll K more than Crawford, but his discipline will more than offset that. Crawford will be getting paid soon also. QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 06:08 PM) Crawford is going into his free agent season and has refused to play CF regularly to this point in his career where as Upton is 3 years away from free agency, an elite defensive CF, going into his age 25 season and is just a more talented ballplayer (even at his best to date Crawford's production isn't mind blowing) so on paper there's definitely good odds that he holds higher value. It all depends on Upton's shoulder really, there's a belief that the offseason surgery he had to repair it still remains an issue and has held him back this year. If teams buy into this and believe it's something he can recover from 100% then he'll fetch you more than Crawford on the trade market. Agreed.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 05:28 PM) I trust that KW is not dumb enough to even for a minute considering acquiring Bradley. But then again, he's the same guy who landed Linebrink and Pena so I guess never say never. Dude.. seriously Greg.. you need to think before you post bro.

QUOTE (son of a rude @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 05:16 PM) http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/...ord?eref=fromSI I don't think there is too great of a chance that we get either (especially crawford), but i thought it would be a worthy debate anyway. Do you think KW would go for another player like Upton who has a boatload of potential but is having an off year? Not sure what the Rays would want for him, but I'm sure they would want a decent amount in return. KW said there would be a lot of changes this season, do you think he will make a run for one of them? I really think there is no chance of us getting Crawford, so I am talking about Upton. He would really solidify our defense and he has the potential to be a great player. Do you think we have enough to get him? I'd bet money that the Rays will ask and get much more for Upton than they would for Crawford.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 05:22 PM) I would say Harris is the most overrated player in the NFL but I think enough people are catching on to the fact that he's been in a steady decline so that he can't be overrated anymore. I disagree about the NFL, not to mention people expect him to be the once, stud DT comming out of college before that knee injury which still isn't 100% (and from what Tommie has said before, probably never will be) He's basically playing with one f***ed up knee and it's really sad to see him being basically "mortal" because of it. It's really ruining his career up to this point. I'd bet money he'll probably have one or two more surgeries on it when it's all said and done kinda like the NBA version of Grant Hill with his ankle/foot issues.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 04:51 PM) Unless something unexpected happens, not for a couple more years, haha. You'll probably "Gage" that up soon.
