I'm surprised there is so much worries after the first intramural game that Derrick Rose played.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 9, 2008 -> 10:43 AM) Good depends on your definition of good. Murton, Patterson and Gallagher will all have extended major league careers as starters. The Cubs didn't have open positions so they aren't really effected by the loss of the talent but the A's will be able to plug all three of these guys into there lineup immediately and in Gallagher's case you are talking about a guy with #2/#3 starter upside (very live arm). Given Harden's injury history, I think you could call the deal a very fair return (especially since all three of the main pieces acquired should immediately become starters in Oakland). For once, I just completely disagree with you here, Gage.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jul 9, 2008 -> 10:41 AM) I'm no scout, but Beane has been an excellent evaluator of talent throughout the years and has constantly traded "ace" starters at the right time in their careers. They got some solid prospects in return, and he wasn't giving Harden away for nothing here. He gave him away for nothing.

I'm not sure why we're obsessed with having 12 pitchers on the roster.

Liney definitely needs to be the 8th inning guy. I think he's proven he can't handle the 9th, that's not a knock on him but there's no point to keep trotting him out there when he's a great set up man.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 02:36 PM) Nope, I would have told you we should have traded his ass for AJ Burnett and the Sox would have never won the world series, LOL. You and me both.

Just got back from Hancock. I enjoyed it a lot.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 08:05 PM) I put the majors...you had the NL in there. Damn you confused me.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 07:43 PM) If he's actually healthy, they might win 100 games. BTW I meant to put NL not majors, my bad. I can definitely see them losing to a bunch of AL teams but if Harden's healthy, that's your NL rep right there imo.

If Harden stays healthy the Cubs are by far the best team in the NL now.

No. This team has a chance to be special but that 05 team is one of the best teams of all time. Sorry, this squad isn't that good.

Ya, Frank's not going to be near 1 for me.

Talk to me in October. No one would have though in July of 05 that JC would be our best starter going into the playoffs that year. Right now Danks is the best pitcher we got but I would guess that if the season ended today you'd be seeing Mark start game 1 of the ALDS.

The Twins roster isn't very impressive imo but I refuse to count the Twins out of anything, ever.

This is our world series mvp, lets get him in the game.

See you in October, Milwaukee.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 09:38 PM) Mark grabbed the mike and talked to the fans?? Wow. I voted twice for him; everybody vote for Dye if you get a free minute. He did the same thing in 05 for Pods. Mark's just awesome, shouldn't surprise anyone.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 7, 2008 -> 02:28 AM) um i love drunk Dude.... Ya I got nothing. Point is Gavin Floyd is cool.

5-4 with a 2.5 era, unreal, lets get this guy some runs today please.

If we don't have any pitchers on the team then something is seriously wrong.

Happy birthday to by far the best country in the world.

I'll just throw an obvious one out there: Favorite all time Sox players.
