I thought you were going for the angle of him stealing a paycheck from the Sox.

Did that end Nanita's streak of reaching base?

roman I hate to be this way, but you are an idiot.... Who else do you think the Sox can get that can be a solid starter for less money? Keeping Loaiza is a no-brainer. Wake up!

Schoeneweis should be arbitration eligible also. Thomas is not a free agent, but could become one or could completely nullify the rest of his contract. The Sox have an option on Loaiza that they would be stupid not to exercise.

Schoeneweis, Loaiza, Thomas and Lee are not free agents. Alomar, Everett, Alomar Jr., are definitely FA's. Not sure what the options are on Valentin and Gordon.

Stewart and Diaz are on the DL..... Try and pay attention.

Diaz is on the DL....... try to pay attention.

How many stolen bases led to the runs scored last night? How many of those runs would not have scored had there not been a stolen base?? What are the percentages of the Sox other starters?

You have no clue doubleM.... Write this down.. Dan Evans will hold a GM job in the big leagues much longer than Ken Williams. If he gets fired in LA, it won't be long before he is a GM for someone else.

It's possible, but the potential is still there with him so they may hang on for one more year. Depends on how he is throwing in his rehab, I guess.

Rex, Danny was getting away with a lot of stuff in those five innings. He was constantlt falling behind the hitters, and a couple of outs were just line shots right at a player. Gotcha........... sounds like you very well may see Cotts on the 12th then

Agreed....... Diaz, I believe is also headed to the DL. Really? Where's that coming from? What's wrong? He came out after the first inning of his start on Friday. If indeed he is injured, any clue to who takes his place? Read in the Birmingham News today that Jake Meyer who came down to Birmingham and pitched last night, is headed back to Charlotte.

Don't blame Wright. Hell, if Danny were pitching in any of the 5 or 6 games before last night, the Sox would be right in it or still ahead after the sixth inning. The Sox are 6-6 in games Danny has started. That's not bad for a 5th starter.

So you have seen him pitch how many times? How many innings?

What makes you think Cotts is not ready? Without seeing him pitch, how can you know?

Agreed....... Diaz, I believe is also headed to the DL. Really? Where's that coming from? What's wrong? He came out after the first inning of his start on Friday.

Not the only guy who gives you a chance to win when you are in a pennant race. If they want to give him the day off, they will DH him.

Cerb, thanks for doing my job tonight. It is nice to get a break sometimes.

Anyone that ever said Jon Rauch would be the next Randy Johnson had no clue what they were talking about.

Reed will play unless he gets hurt. He is not in AA to sit the bench. Monday it will be a ghost town. Tuesday they have 25-cent hot dogs and there will be some decent scenery. Won't be a huge night, but will be much better than Monday.

Already posted........ you're too slow. ;-)

Monday will likely be a spot starter because they had a DH in Huntsville Thurs. night. Tues will be either Wylie or An. They play Jacksonville. Tuesday would be the better night to go.

So what are you trying to say???
