QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 12:52 PM) This post expresses exactly why the Burnett to the Sox rumors are so completely wild...the names being tossed around just make no sense. This sort of deal is actually pretty fair for the Marlins and Orioles. An comparible trade would be... Burnett, Lowell and Eric Reed for Contreras, Everett, Vizcaino & Takatsu, with us paying a portion of Contreras' salary. That trade really doesn't help the Marlins much.

Farnsworth needs to get into wrestling or something, then he'd learn how to take a hit as well as give it out. He might not be so eager to tackle people on the baseball diamond when he realizes how much it hurts to get hit.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 12:45 PM) I dont know who is the sucker if that trade goes down. They both are getting bent over on that one. Heres my crap, I will take your crap. Lets make a crap sandwich . :headshake :puke Oriloes get Burnett for half a season and have a chance to see if Lowell improves. Meanwhile, they rid themselves of that fat tub of goo, Ponson and a good part of his ugly contract. Plus, they don't have to give up much else in talent. Marte, Anderson, BMAC>>> anything that Bal would be sending Florida. Bigbie, Julio, Kline = not so good.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 02:56 AM) Marlinsbaseball.com Marlins = suckers if that trade goes down.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 17, 2005 -> 06:51 PM) Actually, I think the absolute funniest thing would be after they announce his name, for the entire stadium to go COMPLETELY silent... Exactly. He doesn't deserve acknowledgement.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 02:27 AM) Yet I was still able to make a judgement about you such as that. Odd isn't. You're just cruel.

The search button works very well. (So I've heard)

The look on the kid's face is priceless. "Who the HELL is this guy?"

Yeah yeah... did you see the pic?

They have pics that fans send of themselves wearing Sox gear. There's a pretty funny one of Ozzie getting his pic taken with a litle kid.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 02:43 PM) You dont think that Carl and Marte's salary are close to leiter and Burnett? Anyone have a salary site i can check out? Burnett = $3.65 mill. Leiter = $7 mill. Carl= $4 mill. Marte=$1.25 mill.

I could see them skipping the #5 spot on occasion and having a bullpen game once in awhile in the 2nd half. The real fun won't begin until the post season anyway.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 02:37 PM) ESPN.com however... I bet that they are upholding the FCC standards on the website to keep the good company name. ESPN.com is a public site that has sponsors with standards. They would be wise to keep them happy.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 02:39 PM) Maybe the Sox will aqcuire another lefty in Leiter as a throw-in in the deal? Just a thought. Leiter's salary would have to be paid by Fla.

QUOTE(Winnin Ugly @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 02:36 PM) If Fla wants a lefty reliever in return. Im just saying I rather see Cotts go over Marte Flip a coin, I don't care. Any tearing apart of the MLB roster could affect the winning chemistry that this team has. I would tread lightly if I was KW.

Burnett will probably want more $$ than KW will want to spend; because, Burnett is too much of an injury risk.

That Mets rumor has got to be a ruse. The Mets suck and have no shot at the playoffs this year.
