quentin's gonna be out for a WHILE

I'm just gonna say it again cuz it's fun. Gilmore's from my town, went to my rival high school, and my brother struck him out once. I hope he makes it so I can keep saying it over and over.

guys, who honestly thinks Peavy didn't make the best decision for himself, career and stat-wise? In that regard I have nothing against Passan's article. He'll do better in the NL, end of story, and he'll probably get picked up by a contender at the deadline instead of ... us.

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 24, 2009 -> 11:37 PM) Did anyone think Peavy came here, read how badly this team sucks, and is going to suck for a long time, and decided not to come? I've been reading for months here how this team sucks, then when it's in print elsewhere, suddenly that writer is an idiot gotta love it.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 24, 2009 -> 09:24 PM) Passan's article is silly. Add Peavy and they still have about $25M coming off the books next year. Their two biggest bats play the critical defensive positions of RF and DH. Don't you think they can replace Dye and Thome's production for a lot less than $25M? two guys who have 30-40 hr, 100 rbi power? not really all that likely...

QUOTE (WCSox @ May 24, 2009 -> 12:32 PM) Methinks that he gets moved to the 'pen for mop-up duty instead. agreed. no way he replaces Richard until CR starts struggling.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 24, 2009 -> 02:34 PM) He was hitting .450 with RISP a couple of weeks ago. Then he started grounding into double plays whenever we had 1st and 2nd. He's hitting .394 right now, which is still good. But he isn't as on the money as he was earlier in the year. please re-read what you just typed and tell me how .394 is not well above expectations for Paulie after his last couple years. but no, let's complain about everything.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ May 24, 2009 -> 02:00 PM) You know, we can make excuses for pitchers, however terrible their records/stuff may be, if they're locating -- but Karsten has been TERRIBLE. It's like Kirk Sarloos out there with the amount of hanging breaking balls thrown that we seemingly can't hit. why are you surprised. i am SO sick of these bulls*** uppercut swings at everything.

QUOTE (tommy @ May 24, 2009 -> 01:55 PM) I don't think the organization will give up on Josh that easily. exactly. how many years has BA had? how many chances did Owens get? There's no WAY this bad streak is the end of Josh Fields with the Sox... come on.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ May 24, 2009 -> 11:56 AM) s***, you're right. Joey Cora is an idiot. But he's only following what Ozzie would do... You know Ozzie would have done the same thing. yeah i know. i'm sure he's just taking orders. i really hate that he ALWAYS finds it necessary to 1) have sunday lineups and 2) do the beautiful outfield alignment you're speaking of. Why can't we space out when we get our bench guys some playing time. It's games like today's that you SHOULD go all out to win because they're easier ones and we need all the wins we can.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ May 24, 2009 -> 11:44 AM) Ozzie Guillen is stupid. BA in right, Pods in Center? f***ing do it right! Quentin in right, Pods in left, BA in center. I swear to god, he doesn't know anything about baseball. I want Joey Cora back...

why do people have such a crush on Cain? He's not that good in the NL let alone coming to the Cell...

i like it when Cora manages.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 23, 2009 -> 03:50 PM) He started that thread before yesterday's game, it's just a heads up. He does it all the time. Shhhh

i thought elrockinMT's was the game thread... ... awkward.

can we just stop talking about Peavy? them "leaving the door open" was just both not burning bridges. The door is not ACTUALLY open. It's called tact.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 21, 2009 -> 10:50 PM) I'm stunned and impressed by those comments. Flat out impressed. Thats an organization that still wants this guy and I think they'll try to make something happen. right? it was a pretty brilliant move on KW's part. he's playing hardball. but like... the sneaky way.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 21, 2009 -> 10:00 PM) e3 2009 is just 10 days away. Should be interesting as ever with the format going back to its 2007 form. Maybe Nintendo will finally unveil their cards. I'll pray for a new Zelda. THAT.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ May 21, 2009 -> 10:19 PM) Maybe KW should look into a Brandon Webb when he is off the DL....then again he is having some shoulder issues. who's the girl in the avi?

QUOTE (WCSox @ May 21, 2009 -> 11:22 AM) Damn. Stupid media. this.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 21, 2009 -> 10:27 AM) How awesome would it be if it was Broadway and Mcculloch? hahaha

I know it's MLBTR but: 10:11am: ESPN's Peter Gammons says Beckham is not part of the deal. CBS' Danny Knobler says it would be Poreda, Richard, and one or two others. The others would also be pitchers, says Knobler.

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 21, 2009 -> 10:21 AM) Poreda is clearly the centerpiece of the deal for them. and I like Poreda and all, but jesus, sign me up.
