Pitch count?

f***, let him right off the hook, basically.

Wow, bad. We could use a real 5-hole hitter, too.

To avoid the dreaded j word, I am going to keep this vague. A certain pitcher seems so much more confident on the mound than he has for most of his career.

Fine, Griffey, stay on the team where nobody wants you (including the fans) and where you have absolutely no chance to even make the playoffs the rest of your career. You're happy with your millions and millions of dollars playing with no aspirations of ever winning a damn thing. Why would you want to win? You're only a major leaguer. EDIT: If this is true, it really pisses me off. This pisses me off worse than their owner preventing the trade. Last year it was Delgado and this year it's Griffey. Man, NOBODY wants you on that team.

Awton, you're the greatest. I wanna say that some time during the season.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) I heard this on another station as well, but I can't remember where. It was earlier this morning. They said that the Griffey Jr. trade is not only back on but HOT as hell. They have agreed on the players involved (maybe Brian Anderson? his night last night may have made believers of some) in the trade and the WHITE SOX have agreed to pay even more of Junior's salary. If Griffey will agree to come here and Linder signs off on the deal we can see Griffey as early as Monday. This would be absolutely unreal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is no way that Anderson passes through waivers. There's just no way it happens. He'd get claimed 1 team into the process.

I've come to grips with the fact that we're not getting Griffey. What I really want to know is who we are really going to get. It's sorely obvious we need someone, and you can't tell me that there's absolutely nobody out there that we can't get.

JINX!

Well, I had Maxwell Street cheeseburgers last night. Cheap and seemingly terrible, but I still like them.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 11:55 AM) Didn't we jack Guardado earlier this year too? I don't think so. I think we've only seen him once this year, and he shut the door pretty easily. Unless this is the third series against the Mariners. I didn't get to watch any games for about a month because I was at school, so they might've played them during that span and rocked him. I know we didn't rock him the last time we saw him. After that long-winded response, I think the answer to your question is no.

Hell yeah, I'd do it. Besides, it looks like something from Star Wars.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 08:47 AM) Can I ask, looking back at the Benson issue now, who would you have drafted at #4 instead? Carnell Williams? Mike Williams? Aaron Rodgers? No doubt Mike Williams. He was the closest thing to a sure-fire contributor in the draft. I was pissed when they got Benson. He reminded me too much of Ricky Williams. He's supposed to be a lot like him.

Is Hermanson in for the 9th? If so, I'm thinking walkoff. I'll probably be wrong, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

I really hope we don't see Hermanson today. Don't be a complete ass, Ozzie. You already used Duque for 8 innings when his arm is about to fall off. You don't need to use Hermy with his terrible back for the 3rd day in a row.

I still can't understand how people can say Ozzie is a good manager. He's a good cheerleader, terrible manager.

You know, Seattle fans are thinking the same kind of thing we were. For us, it's "Torrealba?!" For them, it's "Brian Anderson?!"

Brian Anderson? f***ing A!

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 10:42 PM) Yes, they are looking at FB's in some good spots and holding the bat on their shoulders, then they swing at the curve in the dirt with 2 strikes. Duke doesn't deserve to lose this one, lets get some runs. It's ridiculous how many times we've said that this year, especially of late.

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 10:37 PM) Jinx! Turn off the TV!! Oh, I did.

Perfect, I turned the game on for a minute, and I see PK and AJ get aced the s*** out of.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 03:06 PM) I'll believe that he's willing to take the home town discount when I see him sign on the dotted line. Until then, I think he'll go to the highest bidder, and end up playing on the east coast. Yeah, that's what I was saying

QUOTE(Yossarian @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 02:57 PM) I wish that was my post. I don't need any lectures from him about loyalty. Anyone who can't see this team has some serious deficiencies is not being realistic. Anyone who watched them in August and voiced some doubts and worries is not disloyal or a bandwagon jumper. In the watered down state of baseball, other teams have problems too. Even the Cardinals who are stacked are going to miss Scott Rolen. In the current state of baseball the Sox can prevail in October, but that doesn't change the fact that they have weaknesses. Get more hits and do less interviews Paul. You mean you don't want to hear about loyalty from the guy that's going to sign the biggest, fattest contract he can get in the offseason when he said he'd give the Sox a home town discount?
