Brando, I honestly think you've convinced yourself that the flubs have already won the world series. They aren't even close to a lock to being in the playoffs. Are they talented.... sure, do they have a chance to win it al, of course. But you make it seem like they can't lose. The flubs still have holes just like every other team.

Well I disagree with that also. I don't think we have any shot at rj but would love to get him. The best team in baseball doesn't always win the world series a lot of time it's the hottest team in the league. Lets say we get a hot pitcher like beckett was in last years playoffs, with a healthy magglio there is a good chance to do some things.

Well the flubs didn't see garcia, maggs, only saw frank for one series and only saw buehrle once. Talent wise the sox were the better team last year but they never put it all together for the stretch run. This year I really like this team once magglio come back and when frank is in the lineup every day. Loaiza will get things straightened, he's not going to pitch like last year but he'll be very solid down the stretch.

All good but just go with We're in First Place because not even those morons can debate that.

Every year this 32nd man thing has been going the sox have had a player on the list. Basically every single year the sox have a snub from the team. I'm really getting tired of seeing frank snubbed every damn year, what the hell does the guy have to do to get on the all star team.

No kidding a ball will never fall in the outfield. I like the way the drays are building their offense up with a ton of speed. But like dan said they need to get some pitching, that offense is going to be really fun to watch in the near future.

But you wouldn't have made this thread. Shingo will be fine for the first time all season his control just wasn't there. Unfortunately things like this happen but he'll be fine.

Nicely done.

I wish I was in south carolina right now, well anywhere but here.

Todd Walker is such a clutch hitter, I think this one is over. God please let me be wrong......PLEASE.

Now we need a miracle, damaso with a strikeout............... PLEASE.

And now Damaso Marte is warming up in the cubs bullpen.

It's not an upgrade at all defensively. Jose is a better defender then nomar no doubt in my mind. Jose is a very underrated defender by most people, he's a very solid short stop with a very good left handed bat.

If people want pk in thats fine but you can't bench frank for all three games. Ozzie's reasoning is that pk is hot but when the sox were playing florida and montreal frank was the hottest hitter in baseball and they still split time. Frank is still our best hitter and should be in the lineup and there is no way in hell pk should have started all 3 of these games.

The sox are in very good shape right now, tied for 1st and one up in the lose column. But the twins have a much tougher schedule in the 2nd half of the year. A week and a half ago there were people who thought the sox would be 6 or 7 out at the allstar break. This team is in very good shape and there is still a very high chance kenny improves the team before july 31.

They can have him. If the redsox want maggs, what are they going to do with trot? If the bosox want maggs I'd want the sox to go after, nixon, lowe, williamson.

psssssss, you have no chance against the great roger bossard and crew.

I'm telling you they're going to add one more person and challange people to a survivor series match, wwf style.

Anyone else really lost? First a tag team, now a triple threat, are we going to have a survivor series match next or something?? What the hell is going on?

OUCH! Well you know what I meant.

Nice catch there. That's very odd. Awesome job cheat these wallpapers keep getting better and better and what a coincidence that there is an off day so you can put the arrow right about your birthday.

I know people seem to be obsessed with hard throwers in the bullpen but I could care less how fast guys throw just get guys out. If that means strike outs.... great, if that means groundball also fine just get guys out, I for one don't care how fast someone throws if they're not getting guys out.

That didn't take long. :puke

I don't think your saying you'd rather have fransisco then cotts, I hope your just saying right now you'd just rather have fransisco in the pen then cotts but I also disagree with that right now. Neal for the most part has been a very solid reliever this year and I think he'll start getting back to what he was before his start. He seems to be getting back locked in and I think he just needed to get his head screwed back on after that start. I'm sure you'll agree neal cotts in the future is a much more valuable player then fransisco will ever be.

What the hell did kenny give up? A reliever with a 3.96 era. Two other relief prospects to the mets and a throw in who are all nothing. An outfield prospect who's very overrated but even if he was descent still worth giving up and Josh Rupe. Rupe and maybe fransisco are the only players worth a damn in those trades combined.
