QUOTE(CYGarland @ Oct 9, 2005 -> 12:38 PM) I agree w/ the rotation, but keeping Viz over McCarthy is just stupid. Have you not realized that Damaso sucks yet?

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Oct 9, 2005 -> 12:09 PM) I would switch Garland and Buehrle honestly. I rather have the sinkerball go at home and Buehrle go on the road which would be a bigger ballpark. Mark has been much, much better at home, almost a run and a half better while Jon has been a tad bit better on the road.

First with the positive, I'm happy we're going with the same rotation as the alds, Jose should be starting game 1 and I like that ozzie is keeping the rotation the same. To the negative, Damaso sucks right now and he better not be used at all, another thing about this move, did anyone here yesterday how sutcliffe said that ozzie told him that he doesn't want to use Marte at home cause the crowd boo's him. So we bring a guy with who will only be used on the road who can't get anyone out?? Good call on that one. :headshake

I'm actually happy dustin didnt pitch. The more he's been rested the better he's been pitching and that makes a lot of sense with his back.

You're preaching to the choir here, dbaho.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Oct 9, 2005 -> 12:50 AM) Due to increased revenue and ability to sign him? I think this is what tony was getting at and I'd tend to agree. Kenny's not dumb in fact he's become one of the better gm's in baseball and he realizes how important paul is to the team. Already making it this far will give us the ability to increase payroll a significant amount. The more money we have to spend the better chance we have to bring PK back.

And then there were 6.......

This is probably the worst thread ever on soxtalk, if this poster doesn't get banned then that's a travesty.

I'm so nervous during games that I rarely do chants.

QUOTE(bulokis @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 01:49 PM) Marte baby! I have one of those...whoops.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 06:07 PM) No doubt about that, problem is MO is still MUCH better then krod. To add to this point MO has a .87 WHIP compared to Franky's 1.14, Mariano has a .177 baa, krod has a .184 and here's the big one, MO as a 1.38 era to krod's 2.67. As good as Krod is he's still not in Rivera's league.

QUOTE(Felix @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 06:04 PM) I'd take K-Rod and Shields.. I think K-Rods stuff blows Rivera's out of the water. No doubt about that, problem is MO is still MUCH better then krod.

Ok, you've made basically the same thread twice now and stop with the damn smilies.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) No way. The Red Sox are kitty litter compared to the Yankees. You trying to tell me who I hate more? I just can't stand the red sox fan base for the most part and have really just got tired of them and yes even moreso then the yankees but that's just me.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 01:25 PM) My hate for the Yankees wants the White Sox to beat 'em. We already beat the team I hate most in the american league.

QUOTE(SoxRock192 @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 01:15 PM) The Yanks can win tomorrow That's the only rooting interest I have in this series, I'd rather the yanks win tomorrow to force a game 5 and if that happens I could care less who wins, I'd just like to see the yanks and angels beat up on each other for an extra game.

Don't care.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 02:22 AM) Marte's problem is that he is a coward. He can't throw a strike to save his life and hangs his breaking stuff. He is dead meat up there and I hope we can at least get a bag of balls for him in the offseason. If this guy actually pitches again in a key situation for the rest of the playoffs, he will kill us. He's lost all control and to me it also looks like he's giving away his slider, he seems to slow up his whole body when he's throwing that pitch.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 02:18 AM) His era means nothing... opponents still only had an ops of .664 off him last year. He actually had more appearances last season with ozzie than in the two with manuel. He was on pace to have his average if not for the dl stint. Ahh, interesting. I just remember him being used it seemed like every other day with Jerry, either way he's been terrible this year, I really do miss the Dam from the Manuel era.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 02:16 AM) So, the Sox move Pods to CF, put Manny in LF Holy crap, don't even joke about that.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 02:12 AM) Do i really have to show them a picture of what you look like period? :puke Yes.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 02:13 AM) Marte has been gradually getting worse for 2 years. Personally, I think He Gone! It looks like all of those appearances he had during the manuel era got to him.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 02:04 AM) Rowand - if the Bo Sox feel they are better off getting rid of Manny, they will not ask for the arm and leg. Bo SOx need some $$$ space to bring in pitching in the offseason. Dumping Manny is one way to do that They have a crapload of free agents so they'll have money to spend. It's not like Manny is crippling them financially, his contract is huge but they can handle it. The only reason they'll trade him is because Manny wants out. They dont have to deal him and if they do they'll get a lot back in return.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 02:00 AM) That is actually not true at all. When you look at what is cost to trade for Alex Rodriguez, who is far far far better than Manny, you would realize it will not cost that much. WHen a team is trying to dump a high priced contract (and when they need $$$ to get pitching) they make concessions on what they get back as long as it is cheap.....Damaso + ANderson should do it. Did you see what they were asking for at the deadline?? The arod situation was a whole different story. Plus, since when isn't soriano that much?

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 01:52 AM) What if we trade Damaso + Anderson for Manny .... I think the Red Sox would take that. Remember, it is not like there are many teams who would trade for Manny anyways, so if the Red Sox go for it, the asking price may not be much given his huge contract price Not a chance in hell they'd take that sox r us. They're going to want a kings ransom for him and wouldnt surprise me if they got exactly that from the metropolitans.
