QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:30 PM) Twins will cruise through Seattle and Oakland. I'm pretty sure they're going to miss Felix as well as Duchsherer

30 hits for the Royals while making their last 33 outs.

Can Toby give Butler a shaving pie for the ass kicking he's given us this week?

I hope we never see Richards start a game for the Sox again.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:23 PM) It's hard for me to worry about the Twins right now with the issues we have. What they do doesn't matter if our play doesn't improve soon, because we'll fall out of it regardless. As for the offense, yes they suck today. Assuming this holds up, we'll have a 4-6 road trip. However, we've had games on this trip we lost when we scored 7, 6, 5, and 4 runs. If we can win any of them, it's an even trip and if you get two, it's an above .500 trip. Problem is, we can't win too often these days without a lacrosse score from our offense. I'm a pessimist, so sue me. However, I see the Sox getting their ass kicked by the Tigers and Red Sox this week.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:22 PM) We saw what happened when we tried to fit MacDougal, Aarsdma and Sisco into the bullpen. It's really hard to find short relievers that are dependable, and many times you have to overpay or develop them in your own system...but it usually takes a couple of seasons to adjust at the big league level. It we lose Dotel and then Linebrink never comes back at 100% (due to overuse the last 5-7 years), then what will our bullpen be like? Link and Adam Russell? A good General Manager re-evaluates his bullpen every offseason and looks to unload guys at their peak value. I was very adamant that KW should have traded Politte and Cotts after 2005 for a huge package.

So in a 6 run game, the Royals have tried to steal 3rd base and now a bunt? Maybe Ozzie will show some balls and drill a KC hitter.

Kudos to Greinke....he knows when it's the ace against the opposition's #5 starter, you go out and win. Too bad Buehrle let Davies beat him yesterday.

Thanks for nothing today Ben Francisco

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:18 PM) I don't see him as the problem do you? Not at all, but if you can get great value for him based on how he's done this year, you make that trade. I have doubts about Dotel being able to handle the workload he's had with regards to the future.

PK with the nice protect swing...on the 0-1 pitch

QUOTE (G&T @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:14 PM) Maybe nobody wants him for the value KW expects? Actually, Fields still does have a lot of value. I guess scouts haven't seen him play this year.

If we just completely tank over the next month, KW should really try to pass Dotel through waivers.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:11 PM) Murton played plenty in the last couple of years, and Patterson isnt all that bad either. If Harden were on the Sox people would be b****ing about how he taxes the bullpen because you cant pitch him past 5-6 innings, and how he is an injury waiting to happen, etc. Pretty much the same things they say about Griffey Yeah, since so many on this board ask Ozzie to keep starting pitchers in for longer than he does.

Does Hawk get royalties every time he mentions Mully or Hanley?

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:32 PM) Because if Juan goes down, then we have no 3rd baseman? Chris Getz has been playing 3rd for Charlotte.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:05 PM) I'd say that is average on the road. Slowey has a 4.70 ERA on the road and Blackburn has a 4.50. Below average was a little off for me to say but they are average and far from above average. With the terrible road records in baseball this season, I would assume that the average ERAs for starters on the road is quite poor.

Hey OC...that's how you catch a f***ing soft liner. At least CQ continues to see a lot of pitches.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:01 PM) "The market was ridiculous and out of control". "You can't trade away a dollar if you only get back 50 cents". "We currently don't have the resources to make trades due to Duane Schaefer's tenure, and the lies of David Wilder". etc etc. Chad Gaudin would sure look nice as our 5th starter.

If Contreras isn't ready, then maybe we'll see Poreda?

QUOTE (Karko's Throat Skin @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:57 PM) Jesus Christ. If the Count isn't ready yet...bring Broadway up Broadway sucks also. If Contreras isn't going to be ready, shame on KW for not acquiring another starter.

To think that Ozzie let this kid face Morneau in that 5th inning earlier in the week.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:55 PM) Egbert still hurt? Egbert is not good...the organization thinks very little of him anyways.
