Thanks Brian.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 01:39 PM) The Sox are done with Baltimore after today. I think a 4 game sweep to basically end their season would be retaliation enough. Everyone knows retalitation gets you ejections and suspensions. Its been that way for a few years. I again think he would have got a warning if Ozzie wasn't so vocal last night, or he mearly brushed him back. It's not just about Baltimore. It sends the same message to the rest of the league.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 01:37 PM) The only way we would have seen suspensions if Baltimore cared enough to clear the benches and throw punches. Baltimore knew it was coming and would have done the same thing. No reason to clear the benches.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 01:33 PM) I don't mind a little chin music, by why put the tying run in scoring position and the go ahead run on first? I am not watching because I am at work, but if he intentionally threw at him his ejection is warranted. He will most likely be suspended as well. With the lack of off days coming up and quality of opponents, I don't think that it was the smartest move. These bastards have to know that they will be drilled if they do that s***. Suspension or not. We can't keep taking it and taking it. We did in Oakland. Now Baltimore is trying the same s***. Vizcaino should drill the next batter he faces to even the score.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 01:30 PM) GMAFB... the first thing out of nearly every poster in this thread was "bulls***.. there goes the streak..." not "yea.. way to go Mark!!" Don't tell me the streak is not of concern.. it's in black and white in this thread. :rolly I agree. The streak was of concern. We all hated to see it snapped and that was the first thing on our minds. But after considerable reflection ....

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) Apparently. So if that's the case you all can stop giving me s*** about my opinion on this matter. Disagreeing with you is not giving you s***. Some may have. I didn't pay that close attention. But just to have a difference of opinion and discuss it is not disrespecting you.

It's a guy thing, Steff.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 01:25 PM) It goes to show that Mark Buehrle is a great teammate, streak be damned. Mark cared more about standing up for AJ and Tadahito vs his own personal accomplishments. The team obviously comes first to him, and I respect him for that.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 01:21 PM) And what for..? Some silly retaliation. Heaven for bid the Sox take the high road. Screw the high road. Somne times you have to take a stand.

This s*** happened in Oakland .. they hit us and we can't f***ing retaliate. Well, the Sox did the right thing. It was time to drill somebody, damn the consequences.

That so pisses me off. Ozzie better be chewing that umpires ass but good.

QUOTE(upnorthsox @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) Can you fully enjoy the season and still not like seeing Timo at leadoff? I can appreciate why Ozzie is doing this.

I love those 2 out runs.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 01:10 PM) don't feel sorry, don't feel anything. just ignore them like everyone else here has had to do. Can't help it. They don't know what they are missing.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 01:10 PM) on a 3-0 pitch as well, definitely intentional. expect retaliation Yep. Iguchi yesterday, and now AJ on a 3-0 pitch. Someone's gonna have to pay for that.

I feel sorry for some of you that do not know how to enjoy a baseball game ... and a winning team.

YASNY says we are getting a bit picky.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 12:59 PM) When there's more than one scrub in the game, I refer to that as the s*** line-up. Besides, no reason Timo should be leading off with Ozuna behind him. Those two will see a maximum of 5 pitches between them. We all know by now that you are a great manager and would won have 15 to 20 more games with this team.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 12:10 PM) From a cubs message board I'm 100% satisfied with this trade. Sure we didn't get to see what Gerut was capable of, but Lawton is a bonified leadoff man, one of many things this club desperately needed. I'm still kind of pissed that Hendry didn't get any bullpen help and is relying on Wood and Williamson to come in and give the pen a boost (didn't he learn his lesson in the offseason by relying on what he already had?), but this deal is defenately going to have more of an impact then Soriano would have had in this lineup. Consider the source.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 12:33 PM) Top 4TH B:4 S:1 O:2 A. J. Pierzynski walks. Paul Konerko to 2nd. I noticed the top line of this post and thought B:4 S:1 was Baltimore 4, Sox 1 ... I'm like WTF?!

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 12:21 PM) I don't think Steff is referring to Jayson Stark. I don't think he was implying that.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 12:19 PM) Leave it to TImo to softly ground out. 7 in a row retired by Cabrera. Inning, 1 up. Leave it to Timo to make an out, just like the previous 6 hitters did. Timo sucks. :headshake

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 10:59 AM) I'm not sure. He just needed to give up enough to fill our greatest needs. We needed another big bat in the lineup, a bullpen arm, and possibly a starting pitcher. Buyer's market, seller's market....doesn't matter....this team is probably going to compile the best regular season and deserved to be stockpiled no matter how many prospects were given up. I would've emptied the f***ing farm for Wagner and Huff. I don't buy the fact that we got "held up" by teams this year. Prospects like Buehrle, Garland, Garcia, Rowand ... that's what was being asked for. The deals were not there ... for anybody ... get over it.

Thanks guys.

WTF is the score?
