QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 6, 2007 -> 02:34 PM) why is this not on tv? It is on WGN

I am sick of Richar

Floyd has quietly been improving lately hope it continues.

In all fairness the Mets brass for whatever reason did not like him and shopped him around to alot of teams, Royals said spin the wheel make the deal.

QUOTE(J-MAN @ Sep 4, 2007 -> 03:05 PM) Bruce Levine reportins on ESPN Sox about to announce they signed Ozzie to a long-term contract extension! I believe nothing BR.......UCE says about the Sox he is so worthless it is unreal.

Another great showing on WGN.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Aug 31, 2007 -> 09:01 AM) Well, it can't be both ways. First, we have too many expensive players (Konerko, Thome, Dye, Buehrle, Garland, Contreras, Vazquez) and now we're too cheap? I guess we will get on KW for painting us into a corner with the lack of payroll flexibility, and the fact that the contract for Contreras will be almost impossible to get off the books over the next two seasons, barring a miraculous turnaround. I don't even think that most of the issue with first rounders is KW's doing, it's more of a JR-philosophical thing. The fact is, there are only about 6-8 teams in MLB that are currently what you would call free spenders...unfortunately, the Tigers are one of them...and the Indians SEEMINGLY are set up for a nice run the next 2-3 seasons as well...Minnesota will always be in the mix with Ryan as GM, and the Royals are looking better and better, not to mention Moustakas COULD be a stud to go along with Gordon. I mean cheap as far as paying a big signing bonus next year to a top draft pick in top 5 , I should of been more specific

Storylines are shot to hell!

Alot is Williams fault, as far as the top 5 pick next year Sox will NOT spend top dollar on a big signing bonus and will draft the most signable guy period and cry about financial restraint!

QUOTE(JoeBatterz @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 03:52 PM) Glad to see Ozzie finally woke up and realized this team quit on him. They quit last June!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 11:43 PM) The golden spike awards translates to hitting at the major leagues? Someone should get into a time machine and remind Travis Lee and Mike Kelly about this as well. Maybe we can give a prospect 500 or so ABs before we toss him to the woodpile. You realize that Golden Spikes winner Alex Gordon, the overall top minor league guy last year struggled. Richie Weeks another Golden spikes winner struggled as well and was sent back to the minors earlier this year. This season is over, lets see if Richar or any of the others can learn on the job right now. Maybe he sucks, who knows. But lets see over a larger sample size. I agree season is over, so I guess he has rest of year to to shine or not!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 11:20 PM) In his first 45 AB he batted .178, he followed that up with a .249 return over the season the following year. So what ballpark are you talking about. Lets not act like Ventura came up and hit at all. You had Richar the first year, and a less powerful Josh Fields the next year. Ventura was a Golden Spikes award winner with a record hitting streak in college and Sox knew he would hit, Richar just floating around in Arizona system and traded because Arizona had no place for him. What the hell has he done to deserve any optimism besides being a cheap option for KW at 2nd base in 2008?

Rangers Execute to score and Dumbass Richar and Sox Do not, another Sox giveaway!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 10:50 PM) I love it when people s*** a player to death because they arent hitting after only 85 ABs. Thank god this wasnt around when Ventura was out there fumbling with the stick when he came up. You would of wanted him gone as well. To compare the struggles of Richar to Ventura is not even in the same ballpark! Get Real.

Richar brings nothing to the table I agree with you on him!

Everyone cannot come back this now has been a season and a half of WAY below .500 ball!

FU Cena

What a complete display of horses*** in a 4 game series.........tickets available rest of the way!

Visquel is not needed.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 25, 2007 -> 11:52 PM) We're missing two teams I think. Need to fill so we can draft Wednesday.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 26, 2007 -> 11:56 AM) He sure as hell doesn't deserve one. Half the 25 man roster does not deserve to be here, so that sure as hell never stopped the Sox before.

QUOTE(Vance Law @ Aug 25, 2007 -> 04:21 PM) At 56-70, right now we're sitting on the #2 draft pick next year. That would be our highest pick since Baines. I kind of would like that. What makes anyone think IF the Sox have #2 pick they will take the #2 guy. Lets say 3 of top 5 are Boras clients, Sox would take the path of least resistance and bypass the 2nd best player for financial reasons. I am not looking forward to the reach they take to save JR $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and avoid BOR-ASS.

So Sweeney willl not get a look see in LF?

Myers can go!
