Not 2 mention ever since the HR derby last year Abreu has seemed to lose all his power.... and that huge contract... I dont really want anything to do with him.

when do GM's ever tell the truth.... this really means nothing. Especially with the emergence of Haeger/Phillips in AAA who can fill in for a starter if one of them goes down... not saying they would be amazing but the 6th starter isnt apposed to be.

I dont know but when i listen Singleton and Farmer dont seem to get along with each other that well. And really Singleton is pretty horrible... I dont think he has improved at all since spring training. And w/out Rooney I cant really stand Farmer anymore as well.... our radio went from great to complete garbage in just 1 season.

Id think of the 4 Danks is probably the biggest untouchable of them. Hurley is the guy id target and than prob Cordero and maybe even Frankie Francisco can be added if we throw in some scrub?

QUOTE(beck72 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 01:54 AM) If the sox are looking for a prospect ready to join the rotation in 2008 [someone the caliber of the 5 SP's we have now], that guy must be tearing up AA now. Few teams are going to give up a lights out set up man/ closer and a stud prospect. I dont think it would take a lights out middle relief pitcher but someone that can give us a Vizcaino type role out of the bullpen to replace B-Mac. than id hope a good prospect....

Yeah I always knew the person who said they had a source Tracey would never play for the sox was a bunch of bs. It didnt make sense at all..... Im not saying the poster is a liar im just saying his source is garbage.

I dont know but something is up. The whole staff is sucking completely.... lately our best pitcher sadly enough has been jon garland.

any chance Carter gets re-promoted to low A again. With most everyone on the team sucking I dont think it would hurt by making room for him. Getz has been getting his avg. up every game now... today he was 1-2 with 2 walks avg. in the low 270's now after being in the .250 range not too long ago. I know his ceiling isnt that high but still Im hoping he can succeed and get that avg. near the .300 range and next season start at Charlotte and possibly be our future 2B and either number 2 in the lineup or leadoff man when Iguchi is gone.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 01:34 AM) Um, why isn't Crede at 3rd? Probably because of that time he got beaned early in the game. Still I blame this loss 100% on Ozzie for over-managing. Something he did a lot in the last 2 seasons and I thought he turned a corner this season.... Obviously thought wrong.

everytime Ozzie has always done this retarded s*** using 3-4 pitchers in 1 inning it always comes back to bite us in the ass.... To give him credit he hasnt done it much this season that I remember but still... no reason to not leave B-mac in there.

Damnit I hate when Ozzie does this... we shouldnt be using 4 pitchers in 1 inning.....

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 11:09 PM) Besides the fact Gio will blow out his arm and maybe be a bullpen arm for a few years... just because he is small..... I dont regret the trade but you

some of the skits were funny... but its not the same when he isnt hosting the show.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 07:39 PM) No way to trading Freddy and keeping Javy. That'd be a huge mistake. Even if Freddy has lost some of his stuff this year, he still knows how to pitch. Vazquez is a mental midget who's not getting it done. At least with Vazquez you know he has the stuff to turn it around... Just like with Garland who was a mental midget and than turned it around last season. He hasnt been the same this season but Garland has actually showed improvement for awhile now and id rather have him out there than vazquez or freddy. So if Garland can turn it around I dont see why Vazquez who already has good control and good stuff cant.

I think the Rangers would be much more interested in Garland or even Vazquez than Garcia... especially in their park.

Im not sure they are the worse....I think its the guys who work for Seattle that I think are the worse. I can see why people hate Hawk though.... sometimes he even gets on my nerves.

why would the astros who just added Huff want to trade Burke or Qualls.

id do it for Duaner Sanchez and a prospect or two.

would of rather of seen harrel or whistler get the promotion. And rather of had Liotta in AA than rodriguez or whatevr.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 01:32 AM) Oh, you clearly haven't been here long. You see, Carlos is one of the most selfish hitters in major league history, probably the most selfish in Sox history. Everytime up, he either homers or strikes out, which means he strikes out far more than Ron Kittle ever did. And he's the worst fielder in the game, ten times worse than Adam Dunn or Barry Bonds on one leg. Thus, if Detroit gets Carlos, they're guaranteed to lose, and lose big, the second half. This is all just fact, you can look it up if you want. Now, I know you're going to say, jackie, I did look it up and it's not true. That's because you looked it up at a reputable website like mlb.com or baseball-reference.com. You didn't look it up in your gut. My gut tells me that Carlos struck out more in one year than any other man did over a lifetime. Now, that's a fact. ... Although I will admit that Carlos really was not very good last year, overall, and anyone trading for him will have to think about his second half fade in 2005. So because your gut tells you something about a player you have never talked to or met or anything that becomes fact. That makes perfect sense. Im not saying Clee is a great guy or anything but im saying your gut means nothing its not fact its opinion. I also know that I have read a couple of articles on Clee since he has been a Brewer where all his teamates did was praise him on being a team leader. Now that is a fact.

I would of thought Huff could at least land one good prospect instead of a couple of fringe prospects.

I had 4 all impacted and was fine literally the 2nd i woke up from the anithetics or whatevr. I guess for a lot of people thats actually what makes them sick the anithetics that put you to sleep. Like I said earlier when my brother got his done which were only 2 he was puking the entire day and was sick for a little but for me after getting 4 removed i went directly to Taco bell.

I had my wisdom teeth pulled and than celebrated by eating 10 tacos. My brother celebrated by throwing up about 10 times.

QUOTE(Bonderman38 @ Jul 11, 2006 -> 09:03 AM) Ben will be good for the Bulls for maybe a year or so, and then plop. He won't be very good. He came out of his prime a couple of years ago. All you are getting is a Offensive Liability that defensive skills are going down with age. He will still be an elite defender for 2 seasons at least id say. Than his 3rd season probably will start a decline but still good. I dont know what to expect the 4th season at all but by that time he will be good trade bait with an expiring contract.

QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Jul 10, 2006 -> 09:23 PM) I'd fear Santana... Liriano has only face one team more then once... and that was how he got his only loss... by now there is a pretty good scouting report on him... im not buying that excuse anymore especially considering the type of stuff he is and everything.
