never the less, it's cool to see Frank.

I am proud to say that I saw a Luis Terrero home run this year.......I think I'm proud to say it anyways.

I wish these teams weren't playing each other, I really like them both and will root for whoever wins this matchup for the NLCS.

I'm not going to vote because I don't prefer either option. Uribe's average has gotten worse every year he's been here. He has better defense than Eckstein but Eckstein rarely ever strikes out. Unlike Uribe where you can kind of figure he's either going to strike out, pop out, or ground out, Eckstein probably will be able to move runners better. Plus Uribe being 1 for 10 in stolen bases is absolutely pathetic.

basically any night works for me except Thursday, I'm down with that draft time.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 12:53 PM) A few years ago I would have agreed, but I think this is one case where the number simply aren't lying. The standard Defensive numbers for Jones are decidedly middle-of-the-pack, and I think defensively that's where he is these days. He has just lost an awful lot of steps, and if those steps didn't reappear in a contract season, they're not going to reappear. Yeah for 7 years at 20 million getting average defense isn't great. And whoh knows what type of hitting he'd bring. He's defense is only going to get worse by the time he's 37 also.

I'd rather keep Uribe over Lopez too.

Maybe I'll have to drunk post on here once just to join this exclusive club.

I'll go for it.

I have to go with a Wild Card team getting into the World Series, the past 5 World Series have had at least 1 get in. New York over Cleveland Los Angeles over Boston Chicago over Arizona Philadelphia over Colorado New York over Los Angeles Philadelphia over Chicago New York over Philadelphia I really like the Rockies and the Phillies, I wish they wouldn't start off playing each other. But I'm picking the Yankees to win the World Series this year as the Wild Card Winners.

The Mets said they would trade him only if we took back Jose Valentin.

a 140 mil for a guy who hit .222 last year? Give me a break. I know this was his career worst year but he's a lifetime .263 hitter only. It is crazy to realize that he's only 30 though.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 11:51 PM) Probably wishful thinking but hopefully.... Ryan Bukvich Jose Contreras Mike Myers Toby Hall Alex Cintron Darin Erstad Andy Gonzalez (wouldn't mind him in the minors to be honest) Scott Podsednik I'd go for Chone Figgins in the offseson to be the CF/leadoff hitter... not quite sure what the Angels would need however and I don't think we have enough to get him. I'd also try and get Renteria from the Braves... could a package of something like Contreras + money (money thrown in for 09 as the contracts would cancel each other out next year), Brian Anderson, and a prospect get it done? Also, it looks extremely likely that Crede will be brought back next season. Both of those trade ideas are probably unlikely, however they would extremely help this team... 1. Figgins, CF 2. Renteria, SS 3. Thome, DH 4. Konerko, 1B 5. Dye, RF 6. Pierzynski, C 7. Fields, LF 8. Crede, 3B 9. Richar, 2B BENCH - Lucy/?, Owens, Terrero, Ozuna, ??? (I'd love to get Wilson Betemit for this final bench spot but again, wishful thinking by me.) ROTATION - Buehrle, Vazquez, Garland, Danks, Floyd BULLPEN - Jenks, MacDougal, Thornton, Logan, Whasserman, Free agent/prospect I'd love to see Figgins and Renteria here.

scars are my only tattoos. I don't plan on getting any either, unless they're more scars.

way to cheat.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 06:06 PM) "Grease the f***ing kicker" lol too good. They should fire Meyer and hire this dude, he'd make a great motivational coach.

all of this is going to make it interesting for next years Olympics.........

I think Erstad and Podsednik will be gone for sure. I'm hoping Uribe will be gone and I'm hoping Pablo Ozuna will be still around, this season really went downhill after Ozuna and Crede went down. I'm figuring much of the bullpen should be gone if this team is serious about contending again. I'd love to see the Sox pick up another starting pitcher whether it's a signing or a trade involving some sparable players on the team.

we really need to get some relief pitching and hopefully get rid of Contreras.

Go Sox!

QUOTE(knightni @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 09:16 PM) You guys realize the he wrote that for soxtalk, right? BP, like many sites, has the capability of seeing where their traffic comes from; ie. what sites link to them. I'm guessing that we were the most entertaining monkeys that Mr. Carroll could poke a stick at and get a visceral response out of for his own enjoyment. Congratulations. You've all been Punk'd by a third rate sports website that got lucky. doesn't surprise me if that's what they do, but I hope they were criticizing the Marlins for winning 2 World Series while hardly maintaining any of the players in the following years.

Can't wait until next year.

yeah Uribe!

QUOTE(klaus kinski @ Sep 28, 2007 -> 01:58 PM) What a list. Did we pay to see that crap? looks that way.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 26, 2007 -> 03:40 PM) About the only change I might make would be gold helmets, because the fan feedback indicated a no on white helmets. I really like their helmets right now. I say stick with the gold.
