Rowand44

They've both been awesome. Buehrle is still the better pitcher in my mind and has had the better year but Jon's right there, Jon's also been a big game pitcher this year, he's been our stopper a lot after our extraordinary long 3 game losing streaks. They both deserve it.

This thread isn't working to well.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 11:42 PM) See I knew you were going to throw that up. Konerko's 29, and probably in and about his prime right now, you give him a 3 year deal, he'll perform fine in that contract throughout. Is Dye gonna be a 1B? Yeah he looked good in his 1 game there, but unless he spends say a lot of winter ball and spring training learning the position there full - time, it's probably not going to happen. Now with Giles. IIRC fathom said his bat speed was really starting to slow down this season (help me out here dude). He's 34, and probably going to want the security of a 3 or 4 year deal. My guess is he could go to Atlanta to join his brother, but I wouldn't rule out him staying in San Diego down there, he's probably one of, if not the "franchise" guy down there with Hoffman and Peavy. That said, I've got no problems giving him a 2 year deal. He has a 1.066 OPS away from PETCO this season, and a 49/16 BB/K ratio (that's insane). And he crushes righties. But will it happen? Unfortunately I doubt it. I don't expect it but I wouldn't necessarily doubt it. If the sox and Dye decide they think he's suited to be a first baseman they can have him work on it all winter and spring and he seems like a good enough athlete to try it. The main thing is the sox are going to have a lot of money to spend and not to many holes to fill. I think the more likely situation is Pauly resigns and the sox make a huge run after Furcal, jmo.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 11:35 PM) I doubt he'll get $12M (unless some GM or owner in insane). But let's have a look at the other 1st baseman in OPS. You've got the likes of Lee, Pujols, Delgado, Sexson, Sweeney, Helton and Teixeira in front of him. Konerko's on a hot streak right now, and is tied for 3rd for all 1st baseman with 26 HR's, and 3rd for walks (something that we really lack) with 57, and there's not a great deal of difference b/w his stats home and away this season. My guess is he'll finish in the top 30 in OPS by the end of the season. Ok so if Konerko goes who replaces him? Can you handle Ross Gload and someone like Casey Rogowski splitting the duties at 1B next season? How about Brian Giles in right field and Dye at first? EDIT: By the way Pauly has 27 homers, don't take one away from him.

I've been one of hte people who have knocked Pauly a lot this this year, he's been much, much better as of late and to be honest I've been real impressed with his performance this past month. Hopefully he keeps it up and continues to make me look like an asshole. That being said I still prefer we let the guy walk because of the amount of money he's going to make in the offseason. But it's still 05 so continues rolling Pauly.

Congrats greasy, very deserving.

I'm actually kind of excited about this stretch, I think we'll play better against the tougher competition but that's jmo.

Jon's sinker is actually moving so far today unlike his last outing where it just sat on a T.

Might take a few times around to get to this guy with the way he pitches.

This guy has a little funk to him.

Nice inning there for Jon.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 07:22 PM) Just like last night how my heart dropped when Sexson caught Iguchi's liner. Ditto.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 07:19 PM) Another ball off the bat that looked like a hit. Funny game, isn't it Rowand44? Gotta love watching games on tv. I've been so wrong on so many balls of the bat today. I guess that's what happens when you can't see where the fielders are positioned.

I hate it when Timo starts but there still aren't many guys I'd rather have up then him with the game on the line in the 9th. And no I'm not joking.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 07:16 PM) By far, Ozzie should never sit this guy. If anything let him hit as our DH once in while to keep his leags fresh. WTF are leags?

Blah, Nelson's slider is just so nasty. Time for Dustin to close this out.

QUOTE(Wanne @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 07:11 PM) WTF?!?...you watchin a DBacks game over there or something?!? Melvin used to be the manager of seattle, not anymore though. That a boy gooch.

It looks like Scotty is starting to come out of his stolen base slump. That's huge. Gotta feeling this is going to be an ugly ab for aaron resulting in a k. Prove me wrong arow.

Gotta love that 1-2 of ours.

Tad has the best chance against Moyer of anyone on our team.

There he goes.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 07:02 PM) How's the game going, fellas? I just got home, did sort of well playin' cards. Got any money to give to me?

See if Scotty can get something going.

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 06:55 PM) I hope Jenks keeps this up it be nice to add his arm as a middle realiver not just mop up. Where'd that come from?
