Dude he wants Ozuna to start instead of Uribe. You have got to be kidding me if you think Ozuna is anywere near the talent of Uribe.

YES IT IS

SHUT THE HELL UP...MORON :finger :finger :finger :rolly

I dont no about anyone else but i would do the trade u proposed in #2. we are going for it all this year so losing rowand and marte off the big league roster and replacing them with manny isnt that bad. the only bad thing would be is if we didnt win it this year and lost all that talent in the minors for the years to come.

Thanks thats what i was lookin for.

Your right that they wont trade him to us. But which team can they trade him to and what will it take to get him. "A s***load" isnt really the answer i was lookin for

(AP) ESPN.COM BOSTON -- Manny Ramirez's trade request will be difficult to honor because of his contract, Boston Red Sox president Larry Lucchino said Thursday. Lucchino also said he didn't know the left fielder's motivation for refusing manager Terry Francona's request to play Wednesday afternoon's game at Tampa Bay after another outfielder, Trot Nixon, was sidelined with a strained muscle in his side. Before the injury, Francona told Ramirez he could have the day off. "It's hard to know if the events of the last couple of days are the result of sort of psychological and physical needs for a sustained period of rest or it's some calculation or some move to encourage us to trade him," Lucchino told WEEI radio on his regularly scheduled segment. Lucchino and Ramirez's agent, Scott Parker, did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment. Team owner John Henry and general manager Theo Epstein did not respond to e-mails, and the Red Sox clubhouse was locked on their day off Thursday. Ramirez is batting .275 with 28 homers and a major league-leading 92 RBI for the Red Sox, who lead the AL East by 1½ games over the New York Yankees. He is due $57 million over the remaining three years of his contract. On Tuesday, Sports Illustrated reported on its Web site that Ramirez, for at least the third time in four seasons, had asked to be traded. The report said he told club officials he was unhappy in Boston, especially with an off-field lack of privacy. The Red Sox will explore trading him before Sunday's deadline, but that will be tough, Lucchino said. "Because of the size of his contract, obviously, it's hard," he said. "There aren't a lot of clubs that are going to be interested, but it depends how little you're willing to take in return with respect to trades. I'm not talking about Manny specifically, although it certainly applies to him." A club might want to make a deal if it asks the Red Sox to pay 95 percent of Ramirez's salary, "but that's not a particularly intelligent thing for us to do," Lucchino said. He also said this is the fourth straight season in which Ramirez has requested a trade "and our general response was, `it's that time of year' and we'll explore it as we explore other trades." Boston may resist trading Ramirez because it is short in the outfield. With Nixon on the 15-day disabled list and Ramirez not playing, Francona used first baseman Kevin Millar in left field and rookie Adam Stern in right Wednesday. Despite leading the division, Red Sox officials would like to improve their postseason chances with a trade. Last year, Epstein sent shortstop Nomar Garciaparra to the Chicago Cubs at the deadline. "It is the time of year when you consider all manner of trades," Lucchino said. "Theo is certainly willing to be bold and make moves that other GMs might shy away from, so this is the time for us to think about trades and, certainly, Manny's name will come up from time to time, I'm sure, in the next 72 hours."

WHY...LETS LIVE FOR THIS YEAR FIRST

:puke

THANK YOU i totaly agree with you. if we cant beat the A's we dont deserve to be in the world series. I am glad we agree....Nice post!

any other news about aj/lowell?

worse

WOW! I havnt heard this yet, maybe cuz I am not listening to the radio...lol. But to get to the point of my post, I would love this trade ONLY if the sox pick you another lefty for the pen. As for Lowell, I would only think about taking him if Flordia picks up most of the contract. I know we are up 10.5 games, but it just seems like this team needs a kick in the ass to get the back on track, and if this trade happends, hopefully that would be the kick start they needed.

Am I the only one that see's that Pod's has a righty helmet on in this picture. that's why the sox logo was backwards cuz he just reversed the picture.

I dont care if this duche bag is joking or what. And I dont care if i get banned from this site when i say..." GO f*** YOURSELF ASS HOLE" :finger :finger :finger

I would rather c aaron in the 2 hole but i guess iguchi deserves that spot for now

Tonight's White Sox lineup against Wade Miller of Boston: Pods, LF ... Iguchi, 2B ... Everett, DH ... Konerko, 1B ... AJ, C ... Rowand, CF ... Perez, RF ... Crede, 3B ... Uribe, SS ... El Duque, RHP.

Hell yea I would be in!

Since were on the topic of best games that we have ever been to, mine has to be in 2003 vs. the Cubs, Jose hit a walk-off homer. BEST GAME EVER. Now the best inning ever was this year, June 15th 10 RUns in the 6th inning i think. I was there as well

this is our biggest lead of the year!!!

Yea lets take out Konerko, so we have to have Timo at first base... Thats a good move. Just face it Hermanson blew it last night, and he has been getting rocked the last few outings. Buehrle had one hell of a game though

crede.....YES!!!

what does the "DG" on arow hat stand for?

and he hit a home run also
