This sucks that we have to have this conversation again but unfortunately it looks like it still isn't solved. I'm all for giving Rauch another chance also. I know brando is going to say randy johnson, I still think that's unrealistic but another trade is probably the best way to go. How about Barry Zito, it seems more and more likely that oakland will try trading barry for another bat. I know he's struggling right now but I'm sure he'll get it turned around.

Is anyone else going to mention that for 4 out of these 6 games that the sox offense has been dead their two best hitters have not been playing. I know the offense shouldn't be this bad no matter what but the point remains with out Frank and Magglio in the lineup it's going to be hard to score some runs. I would not mind Steve Finley either but another starter and bullpen help are still bigger needs then another bat. The sox are playing like s*** right now but the sky is not falling, this team we'll be fine and back in first place very soon.

Same garbage threads popping up two weeks ago. Any time there is a bad stretch is there going to be a thread that pops up and says we're doomed, the sox suck, blah, blah blah. This is a very good team that happens to be struggling right now. Give them 2 or 3 more weeks they'll be back in first place.

O god please keep this thread away from Brando.

7-5

Well if hawk won't knock that jackass out maybe mac will.

:dips***

It was dramastically.

Ditto. I'd rather sign freddy then maggs. Keep the stud pitcher instead of the stud right fielder. Now the sox have 2 very good young starters as the 1-2 punch, that's something that's very nice to have. I liked the trade at the beginning but it was hard for me to see miguel and jeremy go but mostly miguel. Now that Freddy is resigned for 3 more years it really makes this deal good for not only the present but the future, way to go kw.

I second that.

Brando you got to get over RJ. We'd all love to get Randy but it just isn't going to happen. I also disagree with saying that Anderson and Garland aren't any good. Garland is definitely inconsistant but he's still a solid pitcher that will still get better. I don't understand how you say Anderson isn't good, the guy is tearing birmingham up now, what do you base Anderson not being good on, that comment just confuses me.

This is ridiculous. I've probably been the biggest carlos basher around but he did absolutely nothing at wrong in this at bat. For you to say he was swinging at anything is absolutely nonsense. Krod is one of the nastiest pitchers around, carlos got a fast ball and absolutely hammered it but unfortunately it was at garrett anderson. I know carlos isn't always the smartest player around but he did everything right in this bat by hammering a ball to right center, he did absolutely nothing wrong.

I agree with that. I'd love to get eddie however I really don't want to get rid of cotts. If you still consider him a prospect he's probably the last prospect I would get rid of. Neal is going to be one hell of a starter in this league, book it.

That's the thing that is really bothering me. Enough of maggs talking I either want to see him play or dealt. I to am intrigued by ortiz and jones but only if atlanta will eat andruw's salary.

Aw good times. I use to love wrestling back in the day. LOD was amazing.

That's kind of what I thought, I just remember Roberts name was floating around all over the place before the year started.

Rex if your getting promoted, who's getting demoted to birmingham?

Here's an interesting question. Is Brian Roberts still on the market? At the beginning of the year he seemed to be in a ton of trade rumors but those all died down. Do you guys still think he could be had because I would absolutely love to get him.

Way to go aboz. :headshake

Pavano is definitely the number one guy I want the sox to go after. He's just flat out filthy, just watching him in the playoffs last year you could tell he turned the corner. I'm really interested to see what the market is for Carl. How much do you think he'll get?

Carl Pavano.

Come on now heads, we had the argument all settled, now you opened the door back up for more argument. :headshake

Well everyone there you have it, it's settled. Jeez now that wasn't so hard.

I just love looking at gio's stat line and keep seeing no walks. With this guy's control and stuff for him it's just a matter of staying healthy. Gio has a real chance to be something special if he can stay healthy.

So...... how about that Chris Young.
