So all we have to do is win every game against divisional opponents. Alright, first place here we come.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 10, 2007 -> 11:26 PM) HOMEFIELD FOR US IN THE WORLD SERIES b****ES I liked when I actually felt that way after the last 2 games.

QUOTE(SadChiSoxFanOptimist @ Jul 10, 2007 -> 09:26 PM) No,of course not...Podsednik is so 2005. Our leadoff future is in the legs of Jerry Owens. I'd rather have a one legged Podsednik. I would love to land Michael Bourn somehow, probably not going to happen but who knows.

Played a Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero buried alive match on SVR, does that make me a bad person?

Haeger is awful.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 03:17 PM) I'm Dan Patrick!? I GET IT

Any of those deals would be fantastic, especially if we're trading Jose Uribe.

Well that's nice...

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 08:24 AM) Basically, a kid wizard with amazing powers has everyone trying to kill him while he is just trying to complete a semester at school So they needed to make 900 movies for that?

QUOTE(IowaSoxFan @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 08:19 AM) Mine are Garland, Vasquez, Iguchi, Jenks, and McDougal. Maybe we can get Neal Cotts back.

Speaking of Harry Potter, I'm getting dragged to the new one when it comes out and I haven't seen the previous 900, so that should be fun.

QUOTE(AirScott @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 08:17 AM) I don't know how much more KW could have gotten for Freddy. I'm sure his drop in velocity was no secret around baseball. I also saw came across this story again and found it funny, particularly the first few paragraphs: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2689303 You could certainly be right. I just think most of us here had our expectations a little too high when it came to what we could receive for Freddy, I know I did.

QUOTE(LDF @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 05:18 AM) since when? i would have sworn that he lost on the freddy for floyd trade. He might not have received as much valuable as possible in that deal, but he certainly didn't lose it.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

"I know I think I'm great." -- Jason Gage Doesn't get much better than that right there, folks.

Mark isn't overrated on this site at all. There are exceptions to every rule but for the most part, nobody here thinks he's Peavy or Johan. Mark might not be a shut down ace, but I think his overall numbers since he's come into the league speak for themself. If anything I don't think people realize just how good Mark has been since he's come into the league, 15th in era, 2nd in innings pitched, those are some pretty impressive stats right there. As for the whole PR thing, as good as Frank was, he was no where near as popular among Sox fans as Buehrle is now by the time he left. There were plenty of Sox fans who never liked Franks attitude and of course he had the cute little Big Skirt nickname. I don't think there is a Sox fan out there who doesn't love Mark Buehrle.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 08:16 AM) Seems like Sisco is progressing a little. Too many walks still.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 10:28 AM) I agree it can be done and from what I have seen of our minor league players I think it should be done. If KW is really serious about developing the Sox as a winning ballclub, he needs to resign Crede along with the no-brainer of extending Buerhle and then look at Fields in LF. People want to say negative things about Carlos Lee being moved to LF, but any scholar of the game will tell you that Lee worked hard to make himself into a pretty decent LF'er. The move was anything but a failure. Moving Fields to LF is a good idea and has a lot of merit, if it is part of a real plan for the Sox to build a winning team. I just think Crede would be a horrible investment for the Sox right now. I think it's time to cut ties with Joe(sadly) but he's just too big of a risk at this point, imo.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 08:37 PM) But don't you look at this like Rosenthal did? That this is too close for no deal to happen? There just seem to be so many potential compromises, if Mark is willing to accept some trade risk, that allow the Sox to save face, too. How can this not happen? Because honestly, for whatever reason it seems like the Sox don't want to get it done.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 08:23 PM) If the Sox give in to MB for a full no trade, then next year they will have to give in to Garland, and in the future all Sox starters will want the NTC...Then you get a staff with 3-4 starters with NTC and the Sox would be screwed... I guess we're going to have to start giving every pitcher 4 year contracts as well if Buehrle signs.

QUOTE(TheHolyBovine @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 08:11 PM) . He's barely worth the money he's making now. That's ridiculous.

Embarrasing.

A big YES for O Dog and a big NO for the asshole.
