Milkman delivers

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 11:08 PM) So you think Florida would be happy with Ron Villone right now, especially what they gave up for him? How bout Randy Winn and the Giants? Winn's hitting .280 with the Giants. That's not very bad, and a .280 hitter on this team would look amazing (and no, I don't want Winn). My point is that we need someone. This offense is wretched. It is pitiful. I don't care what KW has to give up from our overrated prospects. I don't care what money he has to take on. There has to be someone out there that he can get that's better than some of the garbage we already have.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:44 PM) Can you think of a single name? That's not my job. But can you sit there and tell me that KW can't pry away a player from another team even if he has to overpay?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:40 PM) No, Kenny traded for Griffey during the non waiver deadline but it got rejected and he's still trying to trade for him now. People bring up Giles but why would san diego trade him when they're going to win their division. Do you want to trade for Dmitry Young just to trade for a guy when Carl is just as good as him? There's just not much we can do right now. Like I said, there's got to be someone out there that KW can pry away that's better than some of the garbage we have.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:27 PM) This team desperately needs offense. The starters at the infield corners today had combined for a whopping 7 rbi this season. It will be interesting to see how long the starting pitching is able to hold up. The intensity needed to hold teams to 2 runs or less usually takes its toll at some point. It would be nice to give them a break and bring in someone who could produce runs. There has to be some kind of move that KW can make to help the offense. Nobody can tell me that there is nothing at all he can do to upgrade something. I think it was you that I had this conversation with. Everyone is going to use the excuse of having Pods back as a reason to stand pat this deadline.

KEN GRIFFEY COMING????!!?!?

It'll be hilarious if (or when) he sucks. Man, wouldn't that just have "Bears" written all over it?

I'm going to see Virgin on Friday when I go back out to school. I already saw Four Brothers and Wedding Crashers. I think I'm going with friends to see The Brothers Grimm and The Aristocrats next week, too.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) If your a big movie buff then its ok but if your just the avg person concerning movies then its interesting. Sweet, thanks. I just found out we have it, and I was planning on watching it later. Looks like it'll come in handy earlier.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) Yes. Any good? Fathom: No, I was wondering if the movie was worth watching to kill time. Good one, though.

Anyone ever see the movie Hostage?

It was actually funny if you aren't a Sox fan. They honestly did look like the Bad News Bears. Balls getting by infielders, outfielder having trouble picking up the ball, outfielder can't field, easy steals against them (I think it was 4 in the first two innings before I couldn't watch anymore), etc.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 03:57 PM) How long before a thread pops up in the trade winds about the Sox possibly getting Sexson? Why's that?

Look, we're playing a bad team and we've already won the series. Garcia has no interest in pitching against these guys. It's not very surprising if you think about it.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 03:52 PM) he works once every 5 days, how can you not concentrate. that's just terrible attitude showing Welcome to the dark side. You're absolutely right. 9 million bucks isn't enough for this guy to actually try most of the time.

This is the Bad News Bears.

What the f***? Seriously, this is ridiculous.

Jeez, there's gonna be 6 steals today.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 03:39 PM) Unfortunately, he will...over and over and over again... :headshake

What would it take to make Garcia keep his mind in every game? It apparently isn't millions of dollars.

Oh, God damn it.

Nice, real f***ing nice. I hate our back-ups and I hate Freddy's attitude.

They shouldn't even score for Garcia until late in the game. He needs to be tied or trailing to pitch well, it seems.

QUOTE(ChiSoxFan @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 02:06 PM) I agree. Last year's In or Out thread was one thing because the Sox were trailing the Twinkies, and still had an outside shot. This year, the Sox have been up by at least 7 games and some were ready to jump ship after some adversity. :headshake No, you really don't understand what some people were saying. There were about 4 different definition for IN and OUT in this thread. Nobody was saying they're not a fan anymore.

People have to stop using the broom thing before a game even starts. Just about every time someone has done it this year, we've lost.

Yup, Marlins.
