I really would like to see Livan with the sox, but the expos definitely won't trade him, because they're only 2 out of the wc.

Yup exactly, Tony is great, definitely one of the best utility men in baseball, but he should be on the bench, jose is a better everyday player, and tony is one of the best bench players in the league.

LOL me too. The first person I thought of was Don Cooper, Brian Cooper didn't even come to mind.

Agreed, they did just an amazing job acquiring prospects last year.

Well colon had a bad 1st inning in texas, so I guess JM shouldn't have let him start.

I hate Manuel more then anyone, but I disagree with you bmr, I'm not exactly what his pitch count was, but I know it was only in the 70's or 80's he was pitching pretty well, this was not a bad move by Jerry.

Yeah obviously he hasn't seen him since he came back from Charlotte.

There defense is definitely no comparison, PK is a better defender, but the offensive production the sox get from Frank when he's playing 1st base more then makes up for the defense, and as far as their speed goes, Frank is faster then PK, I'm not saying frank is willie harris, but frank is definitely faster then PK thats no comparison either.

Yeh that was pretty funny, the sad part is I could really picture something like that happening to the sox.

What did you expect? I mean it is John Madden.

I'm pretty sure the sox will get on a hot streak this homestand, then they go play the yankees and the tigers, I think I'm more worried about the tigers, this has to be the biggest rollercoaster ride of a season ever.

You honestly don't think the sox have underachieved the last 3 years?

Yes exactly this team has been a big disappointment 3 years in a row now, Manuel is an AWFUL manager.

Ok cwsox would you agree that this team has underachieved for 3 years in a row, Manuel is a terrible manager and this is a pointless thread.

If it's long term I'm taking Prior, if it's for this season and this season alone I'm taking Pedro.

Seriously, what makes you think that he's a good manager, he's absolutly terrible at managing a pen, he constantly tinkers with the lineup, he refuses to put frank at first base, and I guarantee you a good manager would never let a team go into tampa, detroit, and cleveland and absolutly get killed, a good manager would not let your team have a let down like that.

LOL whoever wins should get 2 victories.

That would be a nice gift from kenny.

I think the opposing teams have learned just to throw 3 straight breaking balls to Miguel, and he's going to strike out.

I disagree, this is a better team then 2000.

Yes that does qualify as a quality start, Garland pitched fine yesterday, most of the time when a team scores 1 run they're not going to win the game, yesterday was not Garland's fault, he's a good pitcher, and he's only going to get better.

I know they're a contender, thats what I'm saying, but being a contender doesn't mean your going to win the division.

I've been catiously optimistic since they started this hot streak, the sox will be there right down to the end, whether they win the division or not, thats a different story.

Aaron Rowand has always been one of my favorite players on the sox, but please leave him on the bench and just let Carl play, even though it seems like Everett hasn't hit great yet for the sox, he has come up with big base hits to help this club win ballgames, and also there is no way that Carlos is a better defensive player then Maggs, that's not even an argument, Maggs is much better.

I have no idea if this is true, but maybe when Paniagua is ready to go, he'll be added to the roster and Cotts will get sent down making Adkins the 5th starter, so that way they wouldn't call up Ginter for like 3 days again, just a thought.
