3rd catcher for 2005
I agree with getting rid of sandy, he never impressed me anyway with his ability to call games. I think Jamie calls a good game, and works well with buehle especially. Plus you cant argue with someone at the bottom of the order getting base hits. I think Jamie and Ben should do just fine

Next year with Everett
There in lies the dilemma. I think that Uribe and Willie turn one of the best double plays since ozzie and joey. But I would like a new SS to bring in some consistency, and some error free fielding. Juan's K's still bother me, because he swings at bad pitches more than Vlad, and Vlad hits them out.

I disagree, I dont like willie in center, I think he turns the double play better than alot of 2b I have seen, especially better than juan does from second.

I agree, even if everyone knows what pitches are coming, and where they will be located, they are so off balance that its hard to drive any of that stuff to the gaps. It was like last night where Big Ben called that weird fastball on the outside corner, nobody can drive that balls to the gaps And on Adkins--i cant recall seeing a pitcher for the sox who threw so hard with so much movement on every pitch, he has to be tricky to hit against

BTW prior is overrated, nice walk ratio, he has been figured out, i would rather have santana. hudson, mulder, schilling, zambrano, than I would want prior

Great Nancy Faust article
Heres a trivia question along those old time stories, who were the two old sox mascots about 20 years ago

Why Pea Pod?
wow, i got topped, senor strikeout is the best fit for sure. Although he has a HALL OF FAME mustache, he has a little league coach batting approach. Im pretty sure I could make him swing and miss, is there anyone in the league that doesnt know what he cant hit???

hey super steve!!!!!! reading is fundamental, never did I say anything about pierre or catalaf***ass, if you would read the posts, you would see i was giving props to the lineup with crawford as the leadoff, nice job typing for 3 hours, but its another crede, swing and a miss

My bad, I guess we should upgrade the team then. Well lets go ahead and buy the infield with our unlimited cash, and pick up Pedro and Pavano by luring them with our deep pockets. While we are at it, how bout buying a closer and maybe another set up man, because while the money is flowing

downgrade from what??? The black hole a the bottom of the order, or the terrible OBP of half the infield, which one do you think is a winning combination????

dont listen to them supernuke, I like that lineup. And I dont know why anyone would pass on Odalis Perez, unless you have some dreams of steinbrenner buying the sox, we wont get Pedro EVER, we wont get Randy, EVER. A rotation of 2 solid lefties, and a 2 powerful but nasty righties and a sinkeballer sounds pretty damn good to me. And as for the no thanks you for Perez, a 27 year old pitcher throwing 6 k's per 9 with a 3.22 and only 37 walks looks damn good to me, in fact looks just as good if not better than Buerhle, hmm two of them in my rotation, sounds like playoffs

Shingo Takatsu
all the hitter he faces looked confused on their walk to the plate. I figured the only one who had a chance was the last guy up, just because he hasnt seen much major league pitching. But even he looked like a lost puppy, I love shingo

Why Pea Pod?
maybe we can call Jose SIR STRIKEOUT for his new nickname :fthecubs

Todd Walker??
no problems against lefties?????? whats our record against left handed pitchers??? it doesnt matter if maggs was hurt, hes not coming back anyway
-
Todd Walker??
keep in mind he is good against lefties, he was successful as lead off for the flubs, and he killed amnerican league pitching, def an upgrade over willie

holes in the lineup
I think that adding Beltre, and Renteria would fill some of the holes, but realistically, i would mind seeing Carl Crawford in center, move A-Ro to right, Alvarez at short, third base is a mystery
-
Gammons 2k5 free agent outlook
I agree, although I love Coop, I think that there has to be some reason why our pitchers seem to be very mediocre, especially when it comes to developing young talent. And I will still keep pushing for Odalis, you know the rotation looks good with two solid lefties

Garland in Relief?
Other than those rants, I think that Arnie did an awesome job in relief, I figure that was the best outing I have seen him in yet, I think the long relief spot could be his next year

9/7/2004 Game Thread
i've never seen a pitcher so afraid of the other teams hitters, considering what contreras can do, he is nothing but biatch as soon as someone makes contact, I mean come on
