Milkman delivers

They're working the s*** out of Bedard, to be blunt.

UGHHHHHHHH, just foul.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 07:30 PM) hawk just said that nevin was traded for chan ho park, problem is both players have a no trade. The Rangers must be packing it in. Haven't they already realized that more offense won't get them anywhere without pitching? Yes, I know Park isn't good, but why take another expensive offensive weapon? This must also be opening the door for another trade, since they already have Teixeira at 1B and Dellucci (I think) at DH.

Duque gives us a scare, but he gets the 1-2-3. Geez, even the 1-2-3 innings are heart attacks.

Well, at least we made him work. Other than that, f***.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 06:43 PM) Did anyone else see this? Do you mean espnnews? Cause I was just watching sc and Stark wasn't on there. It was ESPNEWS, and he did say we were involved in a whole hell of a lot of possible deals.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 07:14 PM) Classless. Yeah...I don't care.

That was a sweet at-bat from Crede.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 06:18 PM) Torii Hunter just hurt himself in the triangle at Fenway in Center, looks like an Achilles injury, looks bad right now!!! Looks like his toe hit the padding and he snapped his foot down... the NESN announcers are more concerned if it was a HR... JAGS!!! Seriously Hunter is in a TON of pain!!! TH can not stand on his own they are taking him off on a stretcher!!! This is cold, but good. HAHAHA, f*** Torii Hunter. I hope he never plays baseball again.

QUOTE(Da Sox @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 12:49 PM) Allright sox, lets get back on track. A 4 game sweep would be nice Almost every time someone talks about a sweep before the series starts, we lose the series. I hope you edit this.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 03:29 PM) The Reds said they arent trading Griffey I don't care what they said, there's no way that the Reds are not shopping Griffey. He can do nothing for that team. They won't be competitive for at least 3 years, so what's the point of having an aging player on the team that will likely be hardly worth anything when they can eventually compete?

I'm gonna go back and read the rest of this thread, but I first wanted to say that I wish they hadn't reported this until after the deadline. That kind of seems like the obvious thing to do.

QUOTE(BDavisFutureHOF @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 12:00 PM) "So when teammate Chris Widger told Crede he had been traded to the Philadelphia Phillies, it sounded plausible. It wasn't until Widger said that the Sox were getting Jim Thome, Billy Wagner and another starter from the Phillies, for Crede alone, did the Sox third baseman know he had been had. " Who knew the Widgenator was such a riot?!? It'll be sad if, in a few days, Crede is actually traded somewhere. He'll figure it's another joke, then the awkwardness ensues. I wouldn't wanna be around that scene.

QUOTE(HSC's Biggest Fan @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 11:07 AM) Did he go when the veterans committee put in the guy from Pittsburgh? Bill Mazeroski? It wouldn't matter if he went to that or not. Either way, Mazeroski didn't deserve to be inducted. I wouldn't blame him for not going.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 09:56 AM) Further validation of the greatness of Rooney and Farmer. Put a similar list together of TV tandems, Hawk and DJ wouldn't crack the top 10. That's why for me, it's radio with the TV muted. Just can't beat it. Didn't ESPN call Hawk one of the best announcers in baseball a few years ago? Maybe it was just the homerun call.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 09:49 AM) Haven't read through the whole thing.... Does it have anybody putting down Timo??? No, I don't believe it does. How could we overlook that key factor?! :banghead :banghead

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 09:30 AM) Coots shouldn't be used as a lefty specialist. He's better against righties and has been our best 7th inning guy all year long. Don't see any need to have Jenks pitching before Cotts in that type of situation but that's just me. Haha, Coots.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 02:14 AM) f*** b mac... from watching him, he wont ever be anything in the MLB... hes afraid to throw his change and he sucks. [Random Insult]______________[/Random Insult]

I hear the pig from which the ham came from was injected with some form of anabolic steroid. It's a shame that some people actually want it. There. Now this thread officially has everything.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 09:11 PM) Nice to meet you Crazy, I'm Los Medias Blancas. So, we'll have a how many million dollar has been ON THE BENCH? Listen to what you're saying, he's not good enough to start over Crede??!!...at how many million?? Lowell's stats have gotten progressively better each month this year. Granted, he started at .190 in April. The guy is a proven talent, and wouldn't put it past him to break out. You know, like the "crappy" Eric Chavez and Morgan Ensberg.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:36 PM) i thought it was 3. On ESPN and such, they probably just said 3, assuming everyone lived on the East Coast or knew exactly what they meant. You know, no other part of the country matters, right?

When's the exact deadline? Is it 3 p.m. on Sunday?

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) Ok, but that is what I am saying. I think you are misunderstanding me and I am having trouble making it clear. By trading Burnett to either the White Sox or Red Sox they may essentially be helping a team in their own division out. Because they know that both the White Sox and Red Sox are interested in moving Burnett to Philly in order to acquire Wagner. Since the Marlins know that the White Sox or Red Sox are interested in doing that, and they don't want that to happen, is that something that could be holding up a trade of Burnett to either the White Sox or Red Sox? I guess it could be. When someone first mentioned something like that a few weeks ago, that's what I said might happen.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:07 PM) Could that be something that is holding this whole thing up? No. The Marlins are not going to trade withing their own division and risk helping an opponent while they still have a small chance of making the playoffs.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:06 PM) Damaso Marte is signed through next season for 2.5M and he has a team option for both '07 and '08 each worth 3M. So he's protected through the next 3 seasons. I knew it was for a while, just didn't know exactly how many years. At this point, I just want someone in baseball to make a fairly big trade, just so it'll get the ball rolling. I can't remember this time of year ever being so dead.
