QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 3, 2008 -> 08:53 AM) Question for those who know where to look... How many games into the season was Cleveland 15 games back in 2005? I want to say August 1st but that's a complete guess. EDIT: Looked it up, it was indeed the 1st.

That's great freakin news on Upchurch.

STEVEEEEEEE SWISHER.

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 11:50 PM) I'm sure Kenny would personally drive Floyd or Danks to the airport as part of a package for either of them. I really doubt that.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 11:47 PM) This team certainly has holes Tony, what holes exactly? I'm pretty sure I know what you mean but I'd say more weaknesses than holes. At this point, I don't see a glaring hole on this team.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 10:36 PM) Have the Sox been 11 games over .500 this season yet? One other time. So to continue the Alexei love, he has a bad offensive game but unreal in the field today. Is there a better defensive 2b in the AL than him right now?

I'll say this pen is better than the 05 pen.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 02:55 PM) do blackout restrictions apply to sunday night baseball on ESPN? or does everyone get to see this game? Everyone gets it.

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 03:15 PM) For Sabathia or Harden? They're better than any and every of our pitchers. Fortunately for us, that's just a hypothetical as we couldn't afford to trade for either. ... If I could improve this team, I'd give it a real, consistent offense. Never said they weren't, that still doesn't answer my question.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 03:08 PM) Are you a Dotel fan? I like the performances of Linebrink, Thornton, Boone and Jenks this year, but not Dotel. Dotel's been fantastic, not sure what isn't to like.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 03:04 PM) I still think we need an upgrade on Swisher in cf (when Paulie comes back). We need to substitute Dotel for somebody better in bullpen. What? and what x 1000000000000000000000?

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 01:58 PM) I'm not sure about the starting pitching at this point. Vazquez and Contreras have sucked lately. As much as I'd love to have somebody like Grady Sizemore, somebody like Sabathia or Rich Harden might be a better option (threoretically speaking, as I know that neither Sizemore nor Sabathia would end up on the Sox). And who are you kicking out of the rotation?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 03:09 AM) on another, more pleasant note...after today's game, only two of the Sox hitter's in the lineup they put out today are hitting below .270; what's better is that only 1 of them is not a regular. Oh, and Alexei Ramirez is right at the .300 mark. He's gonna be really good. Bureau said you don't find a steal for $4.75 mill over 4 years, but, at this point - given, it's been half a year - I'll disagree. He's not going to be Soriano in the power department, but a lightning quick swing, good power to all fields, and improving defense at 2B - yeah, he's a super keeper. Consider me a huge fan of Alexei now that he's gotten a bit used to MLB pitching. I'd like to think his average will stay at .300 all season and that, come sometime shortly after the ASB, he'll be moved to the 2 hole with Pierzynski moved back to his traditional 6 or 7 hole and the lineup could be crazy good. He doesn't have Soriano power but I'd bet he'll be a 20 homer guy(obviously not this year), he does have some good power.

Alexei is just a stud. We pretty much found a 5 tool player for absolutely nothing, doesn't get much better than that. And on to the other stud, how about that homer by CQ last night? It almost looked like he half swung a pitch out of the park. Absolutely ridiculous power.

Just perfect timing by the camera man.

I hate to b**** about anything after a nice win like today but why was BA not in center in the 9th?

Lies. That 70's show is hilarious.

Bullpen, CQ, JD sick.

Good stuff. Now please lose Minny, PLEASE

Um wow.

If someone runs across some Rose pictures rocking a Sox jersey, it'd be great if you could post 'em.

Ugly.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2008 -> 11:38 AM) If you were drinking downtown, that isn't hard to do. I'm still in Carbondale. I swear I spent a lot less than that, so I'm hoping I find some cash laying around my room, but it's pretty depressing to wake up and have about 20 bucks less than you thought you had.

How the f*** did I spent 43 bucks on beer last night? Jesus Christ.

QUOTE (DBAH0 @ Jun 27, 2008 -> 09:39 AM) Rose is basically comparable to Deron Williams, and if he turns out to be anything close to that, Bulls fans' should be very happy. Not really a fan of that comparison. Both great pg's but they have pretty different skill sets.
