HELL YEAH!

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 04:32 PM) Does it seem to anyone else that DJ is just flat out smarter than Hawk? I just get that feeling. I get that impression too.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 12:56 AM) 1. Hawk goes over the meaning of Heineybird, direct result of latest s*** piece by marriot. "A hineybird is a bird that flies around in perfectly executed concentric circles until finally it flies up its own behind, and *POOF*, disappears forever." The funniest part of that was when DJ immediately afterward said "That's kind of like a Phoenix. Wait, no. No it's not." So off-base on that one.

Also, facing flyball Milton in a HR friendly park.

Count going for 16 straight. DO IT!

So how many people are with me tommorrow in rooting for Wrigley to fall off the face of the Earth during the game?

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 10:48 PM) let it go. Well put.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 08:48 PM) David Riske will never give up a hit, recognize fools. Exactly. How could the Red Sox have been so foolish as to trade a reliever that doesn't give up hits?

QUOTE(Felix @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 06:53 PM) One of them, yea, but Freddy just hasn't looked good in his last few starts. He's not hitting his spots, and if he's going to throw in the mid-upper 80's, he has to pitch with control. Where are all the "Comcast's gun sucks" people on this? Well, I'll say it: Comcast's gun sucks! They've been off all year by 3-5 MPH. Was I the only one to notice that Freddy was suddenly "back up" to the 92-94 range when he pitched on ESPN?

Isn't GAB one of the most HR friendly parks in MLB?

Why not root for 3 problems to go away? Go Wrigley falling off the face of the earth during the game!

I really like this deal. It's a very low risk/high reward move.

Well, that just completely ruins his trade value. What was I thinking wanting a reliever who is human?

QUOTE(shoota @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 08:03 PM) He would satisfy my request for a dominant bullpen arm. Is he really available though? Looking at his stats, it appears SD owns his rights for the next 3 years. He's young, cheap and good. Why would SD want to trade him away? To get their hands on Fields, thereby filling their biggest organizational hole.

QUOTE(shoota @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 05:20 PM) I prefer avoiding the mediocre route because I don't see the value in them. What we need is a Dustin Hermanson or Cliff Politte of 2005. That type of pitcher can improve our bullpen, make us tougher in the playoffs and might even be the difference in repeating or not. THINK DOMINANCE. Dominance in reliever form: At least he'll probably be the best available.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 12:41 AM) San Diego could be a team that would love to have Josh Fields at 3rd base. Problem is, their 1st round choice in this year's draft, Matt Antonelli is also a 3rd baseman, and could be ready in a season or 2. That's why I was thinking Linebrink, but if that guy is as good as they hope he is, they might just want a stopgap. Here's hoping he falls flat on his face so they'll want Fields even more. According to Padre fans I've talked to, they're scouring AAA trying to find 3Bs though. I'd have to think that option 1 or 1a would be Fields considering his age and the fact that he's hitting the cover off the ball in Charlotte. QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 12:41 AM) But I've long thought, if you wanted a mega trade package, if you offered Garland and Fields for say Linebrink, Cassidy and 2 real good prospects ............. I like the way you think. Maybe we could get Carillo in that package? I know a lot of people around here like him.

I think I'm going to give up on the idea of acquiring this guy: I still think he'd look GREAT in a Sox uni though.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 10:20 PM) Curious, but aside from the fact he's a Twin, why don't you like him? I never really hear much about him. That's the only reason. For that, I despise him though.

QUOTE(jenksd @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 09:03 PM) haha, you all left before i could retract what I said. maggs hit a line drive and the drays right fielder crapped his pants but still caught it Come back I'm still there. My browser exited me out for some reason.

Game's not over Nuke and Greg. You can come back to the chat now. It just went to extras in Detroit.

I'm hoping for 18 in a row, just so he can beat out that POS Santana.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 07:54 PM) Second, whoever said Wood is struggling, he's got 14 HR's in AA and a .288 avg. with a .365 OBP and a .567 slugging percentage (over .900 OPS). That sure sounds like struggling to me... So really, there's not a prayer of the Angels giving up this package, what with their affinity for prospects, and their "ballless GM" (stolen from the man quoted above), right?

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 05:24 PM) Read the subtitle.... Hard to do from the forum index.

You could've put something like (not the 3B) in the title to avoid confusion. I'm sure I'm not the first or last to get worried when reading the thread title.

IF Uribe can get on one of his hot streaks, this team would be unstoppable. Now if he can just get on one.
