QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 04:37 PM) OMG, as in...."Gee, it'd be nice to have Young"? Where does he get this stuff? dimitri young would be the worst player to get after that bulls*** comment "the american league central will be between the indians and the tigers" he would f*** everything up

i was wondering who you would rather have up at the plate in a close ninth inning game

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 05:07 PM) ESPN BBTN last evening were talking about the AL starter for the All-Star game. Brantley thinks that Garland deserves the start while Gammons thinks Buerhle should start. Then John Kruk chimes in with "Roy Holiday" of Toronto when the name is Halliday. What do you all think? I love both Jon and Mark, but Buerhle has a better ERA and has shown consistency every year, but Jon has the most wins in MLB. to be completely honest, i would rather have no sox pitchers make the all star game and just rest them for those days instead of pitching during the all star game and having some freak accident costing us the world series down the line

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 04:22 PM) Didn't people say that about Garcia too? yeah you forget, garcia is terrible in the cell he only wins games on the road

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 05:48 PM) Alright -- I was thinking about this the other night, and just now watching MLB Extra Innings. Who are some guys that you love to watch? Guys that, no matter how well or how badly they are doing, they're still a lot of fun to watch? Off the top of my head, I can think of a couple. I love watching Eric Byrnes, Dontrelle Willis, and El Duque. K-Rod is another one. How about you guys? Hermanson because he plays with so much emotion

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ May 1, 2005 -> 09:17 PM) I love this guy. Pick him up! the truth here is we dont need someone else that will screw things up, we need to move someone down when big frank gets back (hopefully soon) and bringing another utility wont be useful

QUOTE(mmmmmbeeer @ Apr 17, 2005 -> 09:38 AM) Did he just criticize us for not being able to hit like Ichiro? wow. I see his points and agree to an extent, our OBP is absolutely miserable and some "big"ball has earned us a couple of the wins. Although we are leading the league in sac flies, which is an element of smartball. We're probably up the list on sac bunts too, although i'm not sure. We are manufacturing runs with a lineup that has a low obp, there has to be something said for that. they can say all they want about us playing smartball or lack there-of all i care about is the big W that our record shows and us beating the twins this year for the division anyone can critize and do whatever they want

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Apr 12, 2005 -> 10:18 AM) AGreed, Leave last year in the past and move on.. I hear more about Maggs.Lee and Jose than I do about Hernandez, Iguchi or Pods..Worry about this years team. ozzie just wants to show everyone what he did this offseason will help the team, but it doesnt matter what other people think as long as we keep winning, i would rather win with scoring runs on the other teams error then losing a game while everyone else hits home runs

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Apr 11, 2005 -> 02:38 PM) And I have not even started on the BP tinkering that was directly responsible for one loss that home run also has to do wiht mark getting behind in the count, he did it all night, im not a pitching coach, but mark has to throw a strike either his first or second pitch or else torii or any other homo on the twins is going to park the ball every time

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Apr 11, 2005 -> 09:50 AM) I think the royals are the other team thats gonna be right there at the end. Dimitri Young is still high off his three home run game he is going to end the year at about a 268 average and detroit is going to finish 19 games under .500 because maggs is going to be out forever with his flu or whatever and their starting pitching era is going to be over 5.50

QUOTE(beck72 @ Apr 11, 2005 -> 12:30 PM) I'm one of those people who think Joe could post numbers like .270/.320/.465, with 20 HR's and 70 rbi's. Seeing how he's had to make some adjustments in his swing [pretty significant ones at that], and still boasted some good power numbers since late 2002 without those changes, if he works out the kinks he should be a very solid major league player. I know Joe Crede hasn't lived up to the hype [which, given his awards and numbers in the minors, maybe deserved at the time]. But count me among those who want to see this kid do well, especially as others start up the "dump Joe" chants. Whether Joe gets his act together this season, who knows. If he doesn't improve on his 2004 year, the sox should probably look for help at 3B. I just know Joe seems like a guy who should get more support than I've seen. He's a quiet professional who works hard, doesn't let his struggles at the plate affect his defense, and has the skills to help this team win a lot of games in 2005. With that said, count me as the first member of the "Joe Crede Support Group". Meetings are on an "as needed" basis [probably after an 0-4 day with 3 k's and an error in the field, or multiple "Crede sucks" threads]. And members should refrain from saying "I told you so" to non-members if Joe has a break out year. So who's with me? Im in for at least this year and maybe next year if he continues to play solid D and contribute to the team positively in the clubhouse, but if he becomes a cancer (which i highly doubt) then josh fields better step up

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 10:32 PM) Win one more in Minny, I'm so pleased. Sweep I'd be ecstatic. as long as garland pitches a decent game and we rock radke (which i think we can) we should win the next game, but santanna, it might be a replay of opening day go sox

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 05:46 PM) I know it's early but I think tomorrow is a biggish type game. -Get off on the right foot against a team that has owned us -Bounce back strong from a rough loss yeah i hope we can destroy the twins to show them and everyone else that the sox are here to play and arent going to be a pushover like all the reporters said we were going to be this year
