QUOTE(Yoda @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:36 AM) Well, it seems like the BB’s aren’t hurting him that much. As long as he can get the next guy(s) out without the walks coming back to bite him, then he should do all right. Being effectively wild worked for Clement, maybe this is his new approach. Sometimes the hitters need a little doubt.

If you really want to get excited, think of all the young arms in our system. Not to mention the re-emergence of Honel.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 11:38 AM) He would of been an impat bat in our lineup. This would of changed our lineup big time. FOCKING REDS AND THEIR RIVER s***TY CHILI. Whoa, hold the Fock up there. Do not, and I repeat do not ever say anything bad about the chili in the Nati. I crave Skyline every time I go out, and that stuff is undiscovered gold in my mind. I will always be a Reds fan, but this was a case of them holding on too tighly to a local hero. Young could of been a star in the making for them, and really solidified their future. Rogo could of taken the place of Washed up Casey, and they would've come out looking decent in that deal. Griff prob would of Dh'ed for us alot, and we would be more deadly, but I suspect that he will still be dealt through waivers.

What exactly is a minor concern? If Oakland makes the playoffs, we will have to face them. Big deal, we will have to face many tough opponents on the way to a WS ring. Home field? Give me a break. I would rather NOT have home field advantage since we are a better road team anyway.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:53 AM) Strange, but I knew exactly what he was talking about. I didnt, and this looking over our shoulders crap is getting extremely old. I have a feeling that half the people on this site are miserable that we are so good. There is almost nothing to b**** about. One loss and the sky is falling, one bad outing by Jon in his last several, and he has a dead arm. Give me a break.

Forsberg...Forsberg...Forsberg

QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:09 AM) RR, did you read my post from right before you posted? I thought I made it pretty clear I was looking at playoff home field ramifications. WC has nothing to do with it. I have no problem with you nominating it as dumbest, but I would at least hope you base it on the context of the discussion. SFF This may seem ridiculous, and it probably is, but Oakland is 9 back of the Sox. In recent years, they have often gotten really hot in the second half and just not let up. They are doing it again. Do you think there is any remote concern they could catch them if they win 40-45 of their remaining 56 games and the Sox play .500? Where did you say that?????? If the sky is falling I will use you as an umbrella.

I self nominate this as dumbest post of the year, but hey, I have given up waiting for the A's to cool off... SFF 9 back from what??? They arent in our division and we arent fighting for the WC. So exactly what are we looking back for?? I also nominate this for dumbest post of the year.

I actually wouldnt mind Pronger and Forsberg. The team would grow in size overnight.

Uh, I would go to Haweye's on taylor st.

how about sprint?

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 12:28 PM) Yep. But I heard it's still being sold over the internet. Idiots.. Whatever, I wish they still had ephedra available to the public, that stuff was the best.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 10:40 AM) So the guy brings a lunch to the game. What's the f'n problem with that? Its not a lunch...Thats what I asked him about first, we have called him sack lunch since we first saw him do that. But its not a lunch.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 09:33 AM) I suspect Adkins will be his normal average run of the mill self. And people here will scream that he sucks, he blows, and why not Baj or Munoz or Diaz, etc. They are all peas in the same pod. The role is the same and that's to eat some innings and keep the other arms fresher. Except for Baj is not set up to go multiple innings and Ozzie thinks Adkins is a better fit than Diaz. Ozzie was pretty frustrated with Diaz last year ... as I recall Diaz wouldn't pitch inside. Do you really want to know why they brought up Adkins? Anyone who knows him or has met him, check out the brown paper sack he brings to the bullpen every game, and ask him whats in it, that will clear it all up for you guys.

I really think Anton should get a spot. I love that kids shot.

thanks for the insight.

Heres the thing. He is going to go down as one of those players whose legacy will be that of a great player buried on a s***ty team, in a s***ty city. There are many like him, in many different sports, and its a shame. If he played for the yankees or the red sox, they would be showing his stats with reverence, but instead, he will be forgotten.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 04:33 PM) I read somewhere that the sox were exploring a trade for Dmitri Young before the deadline. Looking at his career numbers, he's done very, very well vs possible playoff opponents like LAA, Minn, Bos. Oak and NYY. With his being a FA at the end of the yr, and making $8 mill, he could get through to the sox :puke f*** Da-meat-hook

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 12:15 PM) I propose the good folks as Soxtalk get together and raise funds to upgrade Willie Harris' ticket to Charlotte from coach to first class. So long Willie!!!!!!!

Everyone on that team looks the same to me? And alot of them look like players on the Padres too? Weird

Heres something for you. What if Palmeiro is released? Is it worth it to pick him up?

Maybe they should bring the Haegermeister up for a different look
