Nice try Rock. The power of positive thinking or positive reinforcement must help somehow. If it doesn't what would explain vast differences between home and road records ?

Juannie woo woo !

KW is no idiot. He's out there trying to make impact moves. Imagine if the Sox could pry Roberts away from Baltimore and then turn around and trade Cabrera to the Dodgers for whoever. By all appearances thats what he's trying to do. Pretty bold thinking nearing August changing your up the middle D completely on a 1st place team. He's also got his plans B-Z depending how things unfold before and after the trade deadline. If Richard pitches well enough to stay we'll see him getting spot starts for Danks and Floyd to keep them as fresh as possible . If he doesn't, Haeger's an option. It all depends on how big of a lead we can maintain in the division. It's possible KW's already got Paulie to waive his no trade status to certain teams. Does anyone think Swisher is untouchable ? I never see his name bounced around as trade bait but he's a pretty valuable commodity. I can see Cabrera, Crede, Fields, Konerko, Floyd , Swisher, and/or Poreda going to the Dodgers . They have Kemp, Lowe, LaRoche and any number of players that could help the Sox. If the Sox make any sort of big trade it'll probably be with the Dodgers , but by most accounts the Dodgers aren't even sure what direction they want to go. If anything happens look for it to happen late , either Wednesday or very close to the deadline expiring.

Sox now 21-2 against the Tigers when Dye homers.

Nice breakup of the DP Alexei

Why bunt him over when Wise is facing a righty and Ramirez can steal against a righty ?

Gotta hold that Tiger.

QUOTE (JDsDirtySox @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 07:57 AM) espn.com is reporting Casey Blake is close to becoming a Dodger. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3506150 It's a done deal.

Dye blast sounds death knell for Tigers. Sox 58-43, 3.5 up on the damn Twinkies and 6.5 up on the damn Tiggers.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 09:16 PM) After reading the game thread and having discussions on Sox fans booing Paulie, I wouldn't get too cocky in my evaluation of another team's fans. Ha, game threads are always the same , unless the Sox are up 10-0 its always doom and gloom. Love the ones who hit and pitch well and hate those who ,God forbid, have a bad day. It's the end of the world as we know it but i feel fine.

Damaso Marte is now a Yankee.

Yankees stole those 2. Nady hitting what .330 and Marte has been lights out lately.

Yankees just stole Xavier Nady and ex-Sox Damaso Marte from the Pirates.

Yesssssssssssssss ! Woo hoo Winnaaaaaaaaa !

Booby lookin svelte unless its the black shirt.

Dye did a Sosa hop after he hit it .

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 04:48 PM) Hell...I'm not either at this time of day. Maybe it's the 6 Miller Lites so far this afternoon....but... You didn't share with CQ did you ?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 04:46 PM) I am not a fan of the first pitch swinging. Unless it's Alexei , he's pretty good at it.l

Q looking like he's not picking up the ball very well.

Dang it AJ did you forget you're lefthanded ?

Thanx, I don't read often enough but I read the Cuba story , the ARod HR derby piece, and the one on the the Padres catcher. Also looked at the artwork of Sakoguchi and read the eephus pitch article.

Ray Ray Durham making his 1st start for his new team ( Brewers) against the Cards today. So far he's 0-4 with the Brewers behind in the 7th 3-2.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 02:56 PM) 57-43 +2.5 games over MN That's "damn" minnesota with those "damn " tigers sneaking up after sweeping KC.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 03:01 PM) They'll give it to Hamilton. I doubt it unless Texas somehow beats out the Angels which isn't very likely. If Q can lead the lead in HR and finish in the top 3 in RBI while the Sox come in 1st in the Central he's got as good a chance as anyone.
