QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 06:02 PM) It matters a ton. It means they showed the ability to dominate during the course of the season and they just faltered at the end. The Sox have not shown that ability at all. They faltered at the end of 2005.

He's Adam Everett with speed.

I have a feeling that Thome will be back next year as the big lefty bat.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 06:28 PM) Flowers played a lot, if not primarily, at first base in '06 and '07 so I wouldn't be too worried about it. Hall's injury seemed like a real freak occurrence. That's good to hear; but, I'd be reluctant to change his position even temporarily if he's starting to do well at catcher.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 03:58 PM) If he's platooning with AJ, where would Flowers play against righties? 1B? DH? I guess if we had PK, AJ, and Flowers split up the C, 1B, and DH spots we could get them all enough playing time, but I really think we're going to need a lefty DH. Flowers shouldn't be a DH unless the Sox have a third catcher and Flowers' defense isn't good enough to start. Also, I'd be hesitant to play Flowers at 1B for fear of a Toby Hall injury repeat.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 05:26 PM) Are you trying to be funny? He's making $5 mil right now.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 03:48 PM) I do hope we can bring Castro back at near the minimum and ease Flowers in instead of throwing him into the fire right away. Castro will want 2 mil minimum.

He'd be great as a Ram. I just don't think that they'd do it.

QUOTE (nastymasty21 @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 02:43 PM) In all my 50 years of organized baseball, that was the single dumbest play I have ever seen by a professional baseball player considering the situation.

Tony Pena is just plain bad at pitching.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 02:08 AM) NO HE BLOWS COME ON JEREMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please. Stop. Steve. Take a step back. I don't want you to get suspended over your posts tonight.

Steve, I feel your pain, but you gotta stop being reactionary. If this thread gets nasty, I will delete it.

Well... KW did want someone who could take over Dotel's job. Pena's filling in very similarly.

damn.

Griffey wanted C&C Music Factory. Seattle declined.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 01:56 AM) and how many pages was the game thread? I'm guessing that it was limited. September 11, 1946 - Cincinnati and Brooklyn played a 19-inning scoreless tie at Ebbets Field.

Longest scoreless game in mlb history went 18 innings.

DAMNDAMNDAMN!

SOX!

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 01:30 AM) Dye and Konerko are off sponsoring a search party to find Bartolo Colon. I've heard that he's sucking goats in Mexico.

Yep. Guy on 2nd.

Done.
