QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 01:56 AM) Fathom...are you surprised that baseball GM's are crying poor? Not really, as I know TV shares are way down, which will impact the amount of money they make in coming years. I don't really care about other teams though, but it seems like Sox are doing fairly well money wise.

I'll stick up for NJ, he's always had good information coming from the Phillies source.

B&B made another great point, and it's this: why are the Sox so scared to see if Viciedo can be the impact bat they wanted to acquire? Put him as the full-time DH, and hope he continues to have great at-bats. It could possibly save the Sox approximately 5-7 million if he can perform well and not make the Sox claim Manny. Also, it seems pathetic that all these other GMs were craving Viciedo, yet we're determined to make him a platoon player at best.

Maybe we can just face LHP the rest of the season?? Ozzie's awful love for Kotsay was getting a lot of play on B&B today. Might as well activate Teahen, promote Sale, DFA Kotsay, and send down Torres. We'd be such a better team.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 01:38 AM) Can't we stick Lillibridge out there? I just hate having such a righty dominant lineup against righties with tough sliders.

Kotsay with a rocket right at the pitcher...he's had a lot of tough luck today.

Sweet, we're playing terrible baseball now.

Funny how Stone goes out of his way to make an excuse for Kotsay.

Upton with 3 run homer!

Twins tied it up...looks to be battle of bullpens

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 01:54 AM) wtf is mark kotsay still doing in this team? and he starts both games today... Assuming we have no more double headers the rest of the way, I could go without seeing Andruw start another game against RHP.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 01:50 AM) This is an impressive rant. Detroit is NOT going to win 10 in a row. I couldn't be less worried about Detroit.

Kotsay with a one hop rocket at 2nd...he showed a ton of hustle down the line as well. .214 and dropping!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 12:25 AM) "Ozzie Guillen has forgotten more about baseball than we could ever hope to know." /ranger Please never bring up that name again, thanks

Rios go out drinking in between games? He's just a ridiculous double play machine right now.

Got home to see the score. Carlos Torres sucks, and it was pretty pointless to start him tonight with Monday's off day. I don't know what they're teaching our pitchers in the minors, but they could start with having them throw strikes.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 09:33 PM) You mean one without walking 8 guys? Cause he has thrown one this year against Tampa Bay. You know I was being sarcastic

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 09:29 PM) And miss Edwin's first start? If he throws a no-hitter (I can't see a pitcher like him ever throwing a no-hitter), then it would give me two possible boy names to choose from.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 09:31 PM) Yesterday was the day. Now he had better do it in the middle of the night or he has to wait 2 weeks... I agree, my wife picked 8/2 like 3 months ago as the perfect day. Thursday around 4PM wouldn't be too bad.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 09:27 PM) fathom any news on the baby boy? the way you stormed out of the chat the other day I thought it was it! not a thing, but I had a pep talk with the belly last night saying with today's DH, he should at least wait until Wednesday.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 09:15 PM) Pierre 0/0 Vizquel 3/17, 2B, 4BB, 3K (.177) Rios 5/16, 2 2B, 2HR, 4K (.313) Konerko 9/33, 2 2B, 4HR, 5Bb, 6K (.273) Ramirez 2/3, HR Kotsay 3/15, 3B (.200) Castro 0/3, BB, 2K Jones 0/1 Beckham 0/1, BB I'll tell you what though, that's a hard .200 that Kotsay has hit against Bonderman.

There's some guy named R. Williams in Charlotte who could be an option. Never heard of him, but he has a 1.80 ERA.

I'm so happy we didn't give up Viciedo for a 2-month rental

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 06:50 PM) Lillibridge and Jones will not likely start tonight. One of them should play RF the rest of this game. I would be stunned if Jones is not in RF in game 2

So everyone in the Sox lineup contributed this game...that's impressive.
