Punch and Judy Garland

I think Hakw's 4-5 pre-game diet pepsi's were laced with Mr. Daniels

I'd rather get swept out of the playoffs than win in October with Raffy

What was that BS last night from the booth about rather having Dye than Sheff? Wow.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 11:12 AM) and everyone complained about corpseball when he returned because he was station to station. not exactly sure if that's accurate. Want to see corpseball? Archive the last ten days or so of the SOx offense, last night included.

Hawk went overboard b****ing about the Dye call. If it had been from an ump he liked, there is no way he'd react that way. Hawk's credibility just shrinks by the month

Was Daric Barton goign to supplant Pujols at first? Uh, no. Anthony Reyes and Wainwright are both good pitching prospects but St. Louis is set there for the moment so you are right about them trading from strength. Much like Carlos for Podz, I think both sides are pleased with this deal

Can we rename the 5-hole the blackhole for tonight? Bad enough he's DH-ing but in a big rbi spot having 11 this year. That was really funny to watch him face a tough lefty at the end of sunday's game. He looked as bad at the plate as you or I would.

YEah no doubt that Haren has been better than I thought ( I thought maybe he'd have a peak like this but it wouldn't be near this soon). Barton is overrated but will still be a really good hitter, no doubt about that. Calero, Cruz and Meyer have stunk to varying degrees (from decent to much worse) just showing you never know with young pitchers. Meyer was vastly overrated to begin with. He got a lot of pub after the trade because baseball experts often slurp Beane and kind of overstated him a bit.

I hope Freddy can get to career win number 100 this year

First Sox game in a while that you can get extra excited about. Much like the Twinkie game earlier this year, this is a game where Duque can show his worth for us. Let's go get em

THis trade can't be fairly evaluated until the playoffs becaus the Cardinals knew they could win the division without Mulder, but thought they needed him to win a championship. They still may be right.

I don't think the Yankess would spend the $60 million or so. I really don't

I think he is one of the turner south guys for braves tv but I may be wrong

Yeah Dunn would easily get blocked

If we don't win it all I will be somewhat disappointed for sure but the only thing that will really bother me is a first-round exit. Anything else, I can get over in a few days and look forward to building on it next year

It could legitimately be a month from now. You never know with appeals and the other red tape that they go through. It's probably impossible for us to guess (beyond thinking this morning) when it would be if at all

Bernie huh? I dunno

Jennings was an institution at ABC news, very sad indeed

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 09:00 PM) I think right now it should be Garland. My lasting memories of Buehrle's season, at least as of this moment, are his meltdowns against Oakland, a bad outing in a showdown game against Santana early in the season, and him unable to hold a lead against the Red Sox. Those are pretty much the best teams we've played all year and Garland is 4-1 against them. I think you are revising history here with your accounts of those games. THey weren't as bad as you let on

Don't they get ranked though? The vote splits are less pronounced that way as long as those two guys are first and second no matter the order on most ballots. Zito is certainly an intriguing candidate and Halladay isn't done in this race yet. Just too close to call. Should be fun though. Mariano will finish no higher than 5th I believe

The momentum is clearly heading toward stiffer penalties and an independent testing agency and congress wants to mov ein now to take the credit for something that is going to happen anyways.

I thought you meant he was number one in the organization, not one of the top. I agree that he's probably top 4-5.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 05:17 PM) Actually, it was believed to center around the Top-of-the-top in Chris Young. That's probably debatable

Hermanson is on fire.

they should do better for ex-players than that
