QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 08:23 PM) First off, it wouldn't cost as much as you guys think considering we'd be taking on his contract. I don't know why people don't grasp that concept. Secondly, I didn't know it was a rule that Manny would have to play OF when there is a DH spot available. At last, Kenny wouldn't inquire if it wasn't possible. It's too close to the deadline to inquire about things that are very close to impossible. You're nuts. It would take an absolute dismanteling(sp?) of this team to land Manny, the Bosox aren't going to trade one of the best hitters in baseball to a playoff contender to rid themselves of his contract. NOT. GONNA. HAPPEN.

Not. Gonna. Happen.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 08:07 PM) If that deal really goes down, the White Sox are screwed. Especially if it's true that the Red Sox will inquire about Ken Griffey if the deal does go down. We'd certainly have to get Wagner, maybe Burnett and Guardado as well. That deal won't happen, to much crap would have to be worked out for that to work.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 07:44 PM) Gathright doesn't have much else except for speed. I mean, he can run, and it looks like he'll hit for a decent average, but offhand, I don't think he walks a lot. And, IIRC, he had something like one HR in his minor league career. .391 career obp in the minors. Who cares about his homerun total when he's going to be a leadoff hitter?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 07:40 PM) So, any chance at all that the Twins sell with the Hunter injury? No.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 07:34 PM) Ick. I hate deadline deals for relief pitchers. They could really come back to bite you in the rear-end, especially if you're giving up a future position player/starting pitcher. Marte and McCarthy for Wagner? Sheesh... that's a tough call. As much as I love Brandon, this is a deal I'd do in a heartbeat.

QUOTE(Stocking @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 07:33 PM) anyone know of any philly fan forums? philaphans.com. Nothing really being talked about there about this.

QUOTE(AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 07:10 PM) The lastest from John Marzano is the following as heard on Comcast Sportsnet in Philly: Sox: Wagner Phils: BMac and Marte Don't shoot the messenger.... Care to explain a little man. Just speculation, could be done, what?

Yeah, he's gone.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 06:40 PM) Hit the f***ing heaters in your wheelhouse. He listened to you.

PAULY!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 06:33 PM) The Rangers must be packing it in. Haven't they already realized that more offense won't get them anywhere without pitching? Yes, I know Park isn't good, but why take another expensive offensive weapon? Just two teams wanting to move bad contracts basically.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 06:24 PM) Last 2 starts have been quality, right? Nah, he allowed 4 runs his first outing back but it was still a very solid outing.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 06:21 PM) It was ESPNEWS, and he did say we were involved in a whole hell of a lot of possible deals. Thanks milkman, just wanted to make sure I wasn't going crazy.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 06:06 PM) I wonder if Manny & Carl are friends. WSox winning 1-0 right now. With Frank out if not Manny then Griffey. I don't want Soriano. He is not an Ozzie type player. I can't believe Boston would trade the WS MVP for a struggling Huff. They must really hate Manny or Tampa has an ex used car salesman working the trade wire. I doubt this trade happens but just for the record Huff ain't struggling anymore.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 06:07 PM) uribe making a tough play look easy. man, his D is underrated Agreed and agreed.

And the shift allows a run.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 05:49 PM) I think it was a sac fly I stepped out of the room It was.

Thing of beauty right there.

Good call, very close though.

QUOTE(palesox38 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 05:36 PM) Jayson Stark was on Sportscenter a little while ago and said as of now, the Sox are involved in just about every major trade. I wonder what this means...Griffey?Wagner?Huff? I guess we will have to wait and see. Did anyone else see this? Do you mean espnnews? Cause I was just watching sc and Stark wasn't on there.

By the way, I highly doubt this trade gets completed, to much can go wrong for this big of a deal to happen a few days before the deadline, jmo.

QUOTE(Whitesoxfan56 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 05:05 PM) We'll c. Because if you listened to SC they said manny was goin to the Mets and Baez and Huff to the Red Sox. Nah, they said Manny and Baez to the mets.

Well earned, well deserved promotion. Good luck to Ray in Winston Salem
