What the hell, since when is Buehrle a number 3? Haven't you said all year that Buehrle is a number 2.

I really like Jason Kendall. I would love to see the sox acquire him if the pirates ate most of his contract. I like kendall alot because he's a solid defensive catcher who's got good speed and a good obp that you can put at the top of the order.

Oh, I never heard that Miguel was untouchable. I remember I heard bruce levine said that kw contacted riccardi about acquiring batista and that they weren't ready to deal him yet. I really didn't know if that meant he wouldnt trade him or if they just wanted to wait. But yeah that makes sense that they wouldn't trade him, he's signed for 3 more years right?

I definitely can't argue that he's drunk.

Speaking of Batista, I wonder if kw is still going after him, I'd love to some how acquire Batista.

He's dusty baker jr. They're great player managers but they suck at in game managing. That being said I would have also had rowand bunting, it wasn't ozzie's fault joe couldn't hit a ground ball.

First off why do you just make fun of people who disagree with you. You think the cubs are a lock to be in the ws and that's just ridiculous. You seem to love stats so why don't you look at nomars splits away from fenway, the flubs can have him. Zambrano was awful in the playoffs this year and he gets way to pumped up for big games and that really hurts him. Maddux right now is the defintion of mediocre. The flubs have no closer and really not a very good bullpen. The flubs have a very good team but they seem to be in 2nd place right now so I wouldn't say they're a lock for the world series.

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.
