*Sigh* Jr would have helped this team so much(duh), I just really wish this deal would have went through.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 04:30 AM) Agree. And he should be gone after for perjury also, IMO. This is an interesting point. Is there anyway they'd be able to prove that before the hearing he was on roids? Cause if they can't prove that he was on roids before the hearing then it wouldn't be perjury, correct?

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 04:32 AM) I've seen the effects first hand (not from using them personally) and I think it's ignorant to say there is anything positive about them when used as pro sports players are using them. And yes.. I am bashing someone on this site. Steff, my dad's best friend was a professional fighter. Growing up my dad was trained by this guy and obviously to a lesser extent I was learning as well. I was always in or around a gym where a lot of these guys hang out. I, as well have seen first hand side effects of this crap. People who don't end up with serious side effects from that junk are the exception to the rule, not the rule.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 04:28 AM) My Attempt: Great job

Ok, I'm sorry but this thread is dumb. I've known plenty of people that have lost their lives due to roids. To think they have no harmful side effects is just f***in dumb, I'm sorry but it is.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 02:21 AM) None should be inducted. That begs the question: Should Gaylord Perry have been inducted?

He looked good for his 1 inning today, he was nailing the corners. Obviously he earned some respect from his teammates as well, welcome back Jon, keep it up.

Ugh, messing with the top of the order is the worse possible thing to do(and by top of the order I mean 1 and 2). Carl's not the best three hitter in the world and Jermaine probably should be up there but Carl's been clutch as all hell this year and ozzie likes him in that slot.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 05:23 PM) is Bum in the line up? Blum's in the lineup, Bum isn't.

Heads, why don't you mention the question that you asked?

Josh Towers is like the bizarro Jose Conteras, hardly walks guys but get hit around a ton. Hopefully the sox can continue to look great on offense and bring home a W. GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 07:32 AM) Don't they usually keep it around 32 to 35..? Last year I believe we only called up three.

This guy deserves to have the s*** beat out of him. Make this asshole suffer, badly.

Polanco's just a good player. Kind of disappointed he'll be in our division for a while.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 01:52 PM) ninja turtles

I think a lot of it depends on how far we're up in the division, how close we are to clinching. If the division is just about wrapped about I think you'll definitely see Brandon back up here to get a few starts, give the Duke a few starts off to have him ready for the playoffs.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 02:09 PM) Getting Williamson is going to be huge for them. I really would have liked to see the Sox pick him up for an incentive-laden contract in the offseason. IF he's completely healthy then I agree. The problem is he's coming back from this injury far to quickly, I wouldn't be surprised to see him either not at 100 percent or land back on the dl.

QUOTE(GBlum## @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) greasy I've been meaning to ask you...what do you think of Frank? Greasy has told me that he's not a fan, "average player" in his own words.

QUOTE(GBlum## @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 09:09 PM) The part where you said he's not the #2 defensive center because he averages 1 board/3 minutes Nice name. :headshake

Great stuff. Hopefully Kris can get himself back to top prospect form, I'm definitely rooting for him.

Best of luck Shingo, I'll always cheer for the guy.

Great win. The offense has just looked fantastic this series, doing everything right. As has been said Mark's just an awesome pitcher and an awesome teammate. 44

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 06:32 PM) The team would love to trade him I think, but no team out there is going to take on a $11 million or so a year contract for a guy who can't stay healthy. His name is in trade rumors every year, but the fact always ends up being that the Royals don't want to trade him without getting back prospects and having the other team pick up the tab, and for a guy as injury-prone as sweeney, that just won't happen. It's been said a lot that the Royals don't want to trade him because of what he does for the community.

Even with having a better road record, in the playoffs it'll be very nice to have home field if we can do so. This would especially be huge if we play Oakland in the playoffs to have more games at the cell then the colleseum.

I've said it before that there aren't many hitters I respect more then Sweeney, I definitely hate playing the guy though. He is such a class act though and that's why KC doesn't want to trade him.
