QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 01:02 AM) It would leave us with one lefty reliever that is better at getting righties out. We would need to make another trade for a lefty reliever then. That's why YAS said we'd have to replace Damaso if that were to happen.

The guy behind us tonight I was about to turn around and just punch him in the face. This guy was as clueless everyword that came out of his mouth was a swear. Little kids all over the place and he continously was saying f***. Not only that but what really almost caused me to snap that he was using the N word and the derogatory(sp?) word towards mexican, this guy was a racist PoS and he's just yelling all this junk in front of little kids. Thankfully he was eventually removed in about the 6th inning but it was just terrible.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 11:53 PM) We'd have to then trade Crede or Everett for a good reliever or two. Carl really can't go anywhere, if Frank can stay healthy he's going to be tremendous, problem is every few games he's out there he has to leave early, sure yesterday was just a cramp it's still just a little scary. Anyways, as for what yasny said, the beauty is Neal has given the sox some flexibility where he can be used as the primary lefty and maybe if this trade did happen(obviously a big if, just want to make a point) that Crede could bring us a good solid loogy, with the way ozzie manages finding a loogy could be huge.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 11:48 PM) Not domination but close. First time all year he consistantly got his change over.

Speaking of Shingo he looked absolutely terrific tonight, he was getting his change over and just blowing his fastball by the hitters tonight. I wonder if he's getting back on track or if this was just a one night thing. Hopefully he's getting it back but we'll have to wait and see.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 11:28 PM) That was his Marrioti rant on Critics. Hillarious. Beautiful, that's what I thought just wanted to be sure. Well done cheat.

He's definitely opinionated.

Since cheat mentioned guardado what do you think it would take to get every day eddie away from Seattle? Also cheat, random question-- did you happen to email M, J, an H today?

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 11:21 PM) If Marte were out the door, rest assured that KW would be on the phone with Seattle trying to get Everyday Eddie. I never get too involved in these talks because they never have much credence, but this one makes sense. That being said, BHAM said their were lots of Houston scouts at the BHam game yesterday. Morgan Ensberg anyone? Nope Brad Lidge. Ok, I'll wake up now.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 11:17 PM) Perfectly fine with me. Let's talk. Marte makes sense. I'd imagine they'd have to get a third team in this trade, though -- I mean, they (the White Sox) wouldn't be able to keep Crede -- you can't keep him on the bench, he only plays one position, and doesn't even hit that well. So, we can start looking for a team that needs a thirdbaseman... Very true just for the sake of conversation lets say Mueller comes to the sox, Damaso to Boston then would you think Crede would be used to find a LOOGY somewhere?? That seems like that would be the scenario especially with ozzie cause there is no way with the way he manages the sox could go with 1 lefty.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 11:11 PM) Contreras did have an ERA of 3.18 before Ozzie decided to make Widger his catcher yesterday ya know. Right now he's averaging 6 innings a start. Hernandez has an average of below 6 innings however....... Jose will be perfectly fine I am concerned about el duque though, hopefully he can turn it around soon.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 11:05 PM) I'm betting Cincy would want less for Randa seeing as how they're not a contender. As much as I hate Crede, I can't justify giving up one of Politte/Cotts/Hermanson for Mueller. Those 3 aren't going anywhere and I'm fairly certain Damaso isn't either.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 11:00 PM) After his performances in the last month, I think a lot of people are now warming up to the idea of seeing Marte go in a trade. I definitely don't want to lose Damaso however if the right package came along I wouldn't necessarily be against it. Damaso's stuff looked absolutely fantastic tonight but he still got hit around pretty good, I was stumped just leaving to many pitches over the plate at this point.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 10:54 PM) You sure you want foulke back? I always knew Cotts was better then Foulke, yup we definitely won that deal

Bill Mueller would be a huge upgrade no doubt, he's just a solid everyday major leaguer, what do you think the Red Sox would want in return R and W?

Not much to say about tonight, it was just ugly. Anyways, steff was that you smoochin away on the kiss cam tonight?

I hope he gets healthy soon, we need him, he strengthens are bench a ridiculous amount the guy just does everything well, well besides play the outfield.

Alright I'm definitely in now, is it alright if I bring a friend?

I did not follow this trial at all but I knew he'd be found non guilty and my parents who did follow it thought he'd be found guilty, why?? Because it was obvious to them and the rest of the country that he was guilty, unfortunately because of who he is I knew he'd get off. Very Sad.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 02:23 AM) I really hope they run his ass out of Chicago. Man, would that be nice.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 02:12 AM) I'm not holding my breath, either. However, if he can get in somewhat of a groove, I'd rather see JoBo than Timo. As a backup outfielder I personally wouldn't. Jobo seems like the kind of guy to me that needs to get his ab's otherwise since he has a big long swing to begin with it's just going to get longer and loopier sitting on the bench but that's jmo.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 01:51 AM) How many .300 hitters do we have in our OF? I'd say a solid .280 with his power and Borch is a starter. Well I consider Aaron a .300 hitter, anyways I agree though if Borch could hit .280 in the majors with his power he's without a doubt a starter, however even though I wish Borch the best I just don't think he's going to be able to, I definitely hope I'm wrong though.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 02:06 AM) Really our starting pitching depth is really looking huge right now, compared to 2 years ago. Honel's coming back in AA (although he still has a LONG way to go) and so is Corwin Malone, Sean Tracey's had a good year, B-Mac in AAA, Ray Liotta has dominated in Kanny, it's looking good. No doubt and hopefully Tyler and Wes can both get and stay healthy and show what they can do. Pitching depth has definitely become the strength of our system along with the outfield depth.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 02:00 AM) The Warthogs are going to have a very nice rotation real soon. Broadway, Gonzalez, Lumsden (when he gets back from injury) and Wes Whisler. Yup, my friend is going to UNC in August and I told him he's going to get to see a ton of good pitching prospects when he goes to Winston Salem. That's going to be a fun team to watch no matter who's out on the mound.
