Thank you Boston for making us even stronger. This is an absolute steal. I'm seriously baffled...

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 10:14 PM) That's 20% of the team right there. That's called blowing it up. And that's overlooking what it would take to make all those changes. Add those into effect and it's an explosion.

Looks like Garland will be a pure dump next season. Guess we'll be eating some contract if we want to get anything good.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:48 PM) Give me Brady Clark or Lew Ford, and I'm a happy man. Please no Ford...Give me Clark and I am a very happy man.

If people had a choice, would you rather have Brady Clark and Matt Wise or Torii Hunter? QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 05:17 PM) Our bullpen is A LOT bigger problem than CF. Exactly...

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 01:50 PM) Perusing the likely available names in trade (Hawkins, Guardado, Roberto, Mateo, Borowski, Stanton), I don't think any of them will cost a lot. Why go after a top notch CF instead of a top notch RP? Did last year teach us nothing? Those guys you named are no one that should be in an important role for a World Series caliber team. If you are going to tap out on something, tap out on the best available pitching. God knows we need it.

If you trade for Hunter, that's all you trade for. We will be spent. I would much much rather take a lower level CF like Brady Clark and still be able to upgrade the pen a good deal.

Mike Gonzalez and Salomon Torres, your Sox jersey's are made...

I want Viz and Damaso back...

Complete 180...

We should have kept Big Frank.

Something has to give. I believe almost everyone on the team is due for a decent increase in pay, right? Jon's $10 million seems like the obvious choice to ditch...

Why has it taken so long for Uribe to realize he sucks? Baseball is a game of adjustments, right? I'm baffled as to why he hasn't at least tinkered with his offensive approach. Hideous approach...

QUOTE(fathom @ May 18, 2006 -> 09:22 PM) Why does everyone think Detroit sucks? They have a very, very good offense, a strong 5 man rotation, and some good arms in the bullpen. How can you say the Tigers are playing out of their minds, when we're the team with about 5 guys hitting well above their career averages? Outside of Shelton, no one has really hit above their norms for the Tigers so far. It's not the hitting. It's their pitching that is performing much better than their norms. That's why they are winning. However, I do see them as a mild threat.

Hill's stuff is nothing special. Seems to me that the Sox have had trouble in the past by guys who they never faced who also had good stuff. Hill shouldn't be a problem. If he is, then we are really struggling.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ May 18, 2006 -> 09:13 PM) speaking of facing the cubs...its really gunna suck playing in the national league. jeez having uribe, anderson, and the pitcher as your 7-8-9 really sucks. anderson hits like a pitcher.. By that time, Juan and Brian should be settled in. If they aren't, they might not be starting, at least Brian that is.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 18, 2006 -> 09:11 PM) You know a great way to get better bullpen performances? That's right, get better starting pitching. I'm sure J. Jones will be up in a crucial situation...he always is vs the Sox. Perhaps, but Jacque is 1 for 19 against LHP this year which makes Logan a slightly above average pitcher against him.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 18, 2006 -> 09:07 PM) Boone better be the f*** off the team and in some minor league area before we square off this weekend. Remember if he is in the pen, Ozzie may use him. At least the Cubs don't have a huge LH threat. That relieves some stress...some.

We're in the playoffs as of right now. No need to complain.

Maddux 2-2 5.64 ERA .316 BAA career against the White Sox...I like it.

Just wondering how many sellouts the Sox have had this season and what are average attendance is...

Can someone describe the play??

This is just funny right now...

Whats Bobby's ERA when he comes into games with men on base? Seems like he's much better starting fresh.
