QUOTE(greg775 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 10:58 PM) The Indians are probably worthy of a thread. I'd love for some of the people I really respect on here to compare our teams and tell me what's up with the Tribe. Is this a powerhouse squad that slumped early and now is gonna storm to the World Series title via either the division crown or wildcard? Or is this team a hot team that will falter soon? Are these guys the new Twins, set to dominate for years to come? Thanx. They don't have the same formula as the Twins. The Twins had great starting pitching, a great bullpen and an offense that came up with timely hits. The Indians have an above average mashing offense, a bullpen that is currently ranked number 1 in the league and average to slightly above average starting pitching.

One thing for BMac, he needs to eat a couple burgers and hit the weights. He's skinny as a rail. We should keep him in Chicago just to beef him up a bit with all the great food this town has to offer.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 10:43 PM) The offense has been playing better and Dye and Rowand have been especially hot.. If we could keep these two hot through September I smell good things for this offense. The only thing was that we got 10 errors in 3 games and they cost us two games but I dont worry too much about that. That isnt like our guys and I'm sure they'll turn it around. The infield at Texas is absolute s***. The Rangers' players are used to it now but the oppoonents that don't play there often have trouble fielding there.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 10:44 PM) I'm getting a lot of answer, and that's all well and good. But, I'm not getting what I want. Someone just say yes, he'll be the next Santana Johan Santana ain't got s*** on Brandon McCarthy.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 10:40 PM) Of course injuries could happen again this year, and it's not like Urlacher missed the whole season. Is Bradley going to be a difference maker straight away? These are the type of questions the Bears need to answer. The Bears were 5-4 with Urlacher and 0-7 without him last year. Urlacher is the heart and soul of this team. Last year was the first time in his career that he missed a game, I don't expect him to miss much time this year.

After this game, I'm officially excited about the Sox again. We'll see how I'm feeling after tomorrows game though.

I think I could make some serious cash off this.

Dye and Rowand with Pods getting on at the top could carry this team. They're looking good right now. I'm sticking to my guns, if we go into the playoffs with a few guys like this hitting, we're in good shape.

QUOTE(Whitesoxfan56 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) Expanding on what the writer wrote, how get would it be if in Game 7, bottom of the 9th two outs iguchi on first down by one run, thomas walks up to the plate and hits a 2 run bomb to win the world series. that would be just unbelivable!!! I can dream cant I I'm officially giddy. The Sox obviously left him off the 60 for a reason.

Congrats Brandon, well on your way to 300 wins.

I disagree.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 06:59 PM) That's a pretty scary proposition, tying. The sox are finding ways to lose. What's with the defense?? Split this series in Texas and it's a successful road trip. 2 of 3 from Minny, 2 of 3 from Mariner, 2-4 from the Rangers. 6-4 road trip. I'll take it at this point, a step in the right direction. In order to split we'd have to get a win out of McCarthy tonight and then another win tomorrow. This McCarthy outing could get ugly. I'm not getting my hopes up for a split.

Aneheim's payroll wasn't exactly top tier and neither was Arizona's in fact they were recieving aid from MLB because they were so far in debt.

*ducks*

Funny how I'm watching the Sox on MLB.tv right now and I live like 20 minutes from Chicago. There hasn't been a single blacked out game for me all year. I'm pretty sure I spelled every word correctly in this post, if this is the case, it would be a first.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 04:08 PM) the cubs throw away the towel in front of their fans, way to show u guys still have hope 5th place teams don't win wild cards, they have absolutely 0 hope.

I'm loving the border. The fact that you can't see his face is actually the entire point of the sig, it's original. Great Job.

f*** it

Baj looked pretty good last night agianst the 4 batters that he faced. He seems to be a completely different pitcher than the guy that we saw last year. Here's to a successful September for Jeff

QUOTE(Tadahito Iguchi @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 12:43 PM) Guys, it's nothing to make fun of, I'm asking people for their opinions what were Braves fans saying about Jeff Francouer, well, the same thing you guys are doing to these players. So, if someone throws an idea out and you bash it, it brings a certain negativity to this site, and will draw people away. Neither Owens or Young are on the 40 man roster. We have one spot open right now and it will not be filled by a AA OF. If we need an OF it will be Brian Anderson who is already on the 40 man and much further along in his development. Now is not the time to be throwing AA rookies out there and see if they can do something. The Braves lost both of their corner OFers this year so they had to revert to their minors and struck gold in Franceour and Kelly Johnson. The White Sox situation is much less dire, you won't be seeing any of these guys.

They sound kind of dillusional over there. They also need to brush up on their waiver rules. It's impossible for McCarthy to be traded due to the Waiver process, Tampa would caim him immediatly. Plus he can't be used as a PTBNL because a player on the active 40 man roster can not be used as a PTBNL. Oh yeah, tell them we're not sweating. This team is the furthest thing from desperate.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 09:10 PM) I don't think he is. He is serbian I believe, I dont think Caruso is. God you're annoying. psst...

QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 09:08 PM) dude, what are you, related to mike caruso? It's called defending a player that that takes s*** for all the wrong reasons.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 10:03 PM) Hmm....oh well. He pitched good tonight though. We'll be seeing him in September, I have a feeling Baj will impress.

*sigh*
