QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 05:51 PM) Josh Fields for Scott Linebrink was talked about a lot when our bullpen was struggling in 2006-2007. baha. Looks like we won out on that one. We got em both!!

Does anyone remember specific trades that were rumored with Fields involved? Back when he was a good piece that is. Kenny at least loved that particular prospect a bit too much.

Though i'm not optimistic, this actually is the first moment where there's any glimmer. If no team wants to give up Matt Laportas, then that means we actually have a chance with a deal headlined by Flowers/Poreda or a current starter and Flowers.

BA just isnt as handy with the bat fellas. I know the numbers say BA over Wise offensively. But doesnt it just seem that Wise has come through more often in situations? Bunting, I think it's still Wise even though he got a lot of bad publicity for one at-bat early in the year. I'm sure there are stats to disprove what I'm saying, but I've been OK with Wise as a #9 hitter in the recent weeks. It's not great but I cant say BA has left no doubts on this topic All that aside, I think they'd rather have the pinch runner and lefty bat off the bench instead of BA's defense. We could see BA again if they can replace Wise's strongsuits in some way via trade.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:24 PM) Where did I say that I want the law done away with? I think it is weird and I think it is wrong. Maury Povich has a show dedicated to talking about cases when women have been "peeped" on. And you know what his show does? They reinact it with hot chicks and create the whole scene all over again because their viewers want to watch and get off on it. Vouyerism is a huge part of our society's make up wether you want to believe that or not. This is confusing to me, because you're saying "PC" people are lying who say they disapprove of it. Meaning there's something 'natural' in men to want to see this. Why cant there be people principled enough who can say 'yea i think she's hot...but no i'm not interested in watching it because it was done without her consent.' You have to remember, this isnt exactly a playboy shoot or anything. it was taken completely without her knowledge and that's the part people find sick. I definitely agree with you that voyeurism is part of the culture, but if you're saying every guy who's against it is lying, that's a huge leap IMO.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 08:19 AM) I love how all the PC guys try to act like they are disgusted by this. Give me a break. So the fact that this act was illegal...you'd like to see a society where that sort of law is done away with? There's a difference between thinking it's 'gross' and thinking it's a huge invasion of someone's privacy, that you wouldnt want done unto you or your family member.

Masset was touted as a hard thrower before we got him. Perhaps Coop wanted him to sacrifice velocity for control and it just wasnt a good fit for NM Also, to those talking about a "baconless world" - i think there's no way KW trades Beckham, that's too cheap an asset for too many years. Brings people to the stadium as well as production, it's exactly the kind of guy JR doesnt want to let go of in his pre-arb years. i would think that our best all-minor-leaguers offer would have a chance. the market seems to not be where the Jays want it right now.

Jesus. Still dont know if we're any good but man that's exciting.

Christ.

I hate to say it but i see attempts like that and i cant help think Alexei wants to get out of bunting mode in a hurry.

Man! off the bat i thought we were tied. Phew

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 08:55 PM) Turn and burn Josh ! I accept this even if it was meant as an imperative sentence. Josh Fields the sound of the mitt is what sparks your decision to swing.

Jayson lets see some of that surprise power here

step right up step right up, try to strike out the amazing josh fields come one come all.

When Thome sits lets DH Pods.

as was discussed on 670 earlier today, Pods has speed but zero fielding instincts.

ITP homer to CF. The Pods-given-up ITPHR count is at 1.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 08:03 PM) Calling a bomb here. Edit: I swear to god i called the PK shot, my internet connection crapped out right when i posted this. Generally I find that if I call a bomb each time a Sox hitter comes up, I end up successfully calling all of them by year's end.

Paulie golfs it out

Pods has left me so jaw dropped this yr

Turtle Squad is On

Dye, have a year

OK where's the real AJ whatve ya done with em and no Hawk that is not true.

Wise can pinch run. last year his ph stats gave at least some indication that he can grab a bat cold and PH I wanna throw those two things in there but will not participate in an argument b/c obviously the guy has had a horrible offensive year. All it really comes down to is - Anderson's fielding or having a guy who's probably a little better with delivering with sac flies etc. And taking 2nd base as a PR when it's available to you in those tight 9th innings

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 09:58 AM) Colon went 7IP giving up 4ER, 8 Hits, 2BB's, and 2HR's. 0 K's. Quentin went 1 for 3 with an RBI double. QUOTE (JoeCredeYes @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 10:43 AM) How's he running? Colon? He runs horribly.
