QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:54 PM) Brandon does have good control, but his balls hang a lot. He doesn't like throwing his changeup in the zone for whatever reason. I see him topping out as a #3 pitcher which is what Burnett would be with. Except Burnett has much better stuff. Don't forget, we also got Buehrle, Garland and Garcia on this team. That leaves only two positions to fill if Contreras doesn't get resigned next year. I personally think Jose will be resigned to a smaller contract next year and Burnett would be the perfect guy to fill out the rotation. We're trying to win now. I could give a s*** less about BMac. Jose's signed through next year and Burnett would be our 4th starter if he came here, maybe 5th.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:50 PM) I just wanted to say that it was nice to see Ross back in the lineup today and getting a clutch double... We could of done without that brain cramp on the bases but other then that good job It wasn't a brain cramp, it was done on purpose to draw a throw away from homeplate and the speed demon Paul Konerko.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:44 PM) Since when is Brandon McCarthy as good as Danny Haren and Rich Harden? Hell, when did Oakland develop Danny Haren? He was groomed by STL. I don't give a damn about BMac. We have Gio in the system who actually will attack the zone. Burnett has electric stuff and arguably the best stuff in the whole major leagues(Clement at least thinks so). Marte And BMac for Burnett. I'd do that deal anyday of the week. I just don't think it's happening though. Gio is an A ball. And what the hell does "who actually will attack the zone" mean. Brandon's always had good control and always attacks the zone, that makes no freakin sense.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) Happy about the win... Great job by Jose... But what on earth was wrong with Marte... I mean that deal is looking better and better, thats if the Marlins even still want it... Iguchi had a great game though... I was so encouraged by that game he had in Cleveland now it seems he's back to last years and this years Marte. To bad, I have no clue what has happened to the guy cause his stuff is still there.

The dreaded one game offensive slump ended today. Great job Jose, offense, Neal, Cliff, Hermy!!!!!!!

YESSSSSSSSSS

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:19 PM) There was a reason marte started the inning. Why is that? Cause you dont like hermy?

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) Situational update please? 1st and 2nd, 2 out. 2 run sox lead.

Use that splitty now, dustin.

Oh boy......

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) Chill out... that ball wasn't hit very hard at all. No it wasn't, I was actually afraid that was going to fall right down the line.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:00 PM) :headshake Jim you still are living in doubt.. Its sad to see actually. With all your years watchign the Sox and still you have no idea how a winning team is suppose to look like, Granted we have the best record in the majors..But compared up to the top teams.. we really are still missing pieces.. its sad that your to blind to see the truth.. Alright mr gm. How are you getting Giles?? How are you getting Furcal?? You can't just magically get these players. By the way Jim has more baseball knowledge in his left pinky then you'll ever have in your life.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) So find a way Headster (thats for Rowand44)

Talk about a nice inning against the 2-3-4 hitters of the bosox.

Cmon Neal, ace Damon like you did yesterday.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) The Cottster What is with you and adding "ter" to everyone's name today? :headshake

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) I went to game 3 in LA.....good times. Was that supposed to be funny?

Very solid outing Jose!!!!!

Now that throw is even larger.

YEEESSSSS, Nice play Scotty!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 02:53 PM) He's at 104 pitches. This is a mistake leaving him in IMO I said the same thing at the beginning of the inning. Hopefully we're wrong.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 02:45 PM) You will also see Jenks pitch tonight. I'm worried cause Manny owns Sox pitching. I remember last years series at the cell, he had a grandslam and I think finished the series with 4 HR's, if not 5 and a gazillion RBI's. He's definately an amazing hitter. Lets finish him off Count. How crazy was that homer he hit last night?? It was a good pitch to hit and all but he just flicked his wrists and the ball was gone. Such an effortless swing.

I'm thinking that was probably Jose's last inning. This is where it helps to have a deep bullpen. Can go to Viz or Jenks here, then to Neal, Cliff, Hermy. Damaso if needed.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 02:37 PM) And it was on a breaking ball He got a bad jump, it happens every now and then.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) If Gload is sent down when Thomas gets back... :angryfistshake Agreed.
