QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 02:59 PM) Lowells Splits this year April: .198 .233 May : .202 .263 June: .250 .310 July: .294 .338 Wow, that's progressively better every month. But, it's hard to not improve on a .198 BA.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 02:42 PM) Does it matter, he isnt on the block according to the Mariners. The real question is....Is AJB better than BMAC and Marte? Is JC in the pen better than Marte? Is Lowell a better 3B and 1B backup than Gload and Ozuna? Yes Yes Of course, Ozuna is an awful 3B.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 02:30 PM) They really think they're getting Contreras in a deal for Burnett. McCarthy, Marte and Contreras for Burnett, which is not happoning. They seriously have to watch a Sox game. McCarthy has the ability to become a very good #2 type pitcher in the majors. They're not getting Contreras in the deal they think so that's not an issue. And Marte can be dominate at times but most of the time he'd rather walk the first 2 batters of the inning and infuriate the manager. He was filthy in '03 and at times in '04 just not so much in '05. Haha, nice sig.

QUOTE(thelatinoheat_30 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 02:28 PM) what are you talking about? isn't crede's defense and clutch hitting contributing? didn't contreras win 3 of the last 4, including beating the bo sox? Lowell = Insurance Who's to say that Contreras has to go to the pen? Duque might go there.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 02:14 PM) Is anyone worried that this could impact Jon garland re-signing with the Sox? Im starting to get that sick feeling in my stomach. Arbitration.

QUOTE(scotty22hotty @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) BMAC+ Marte for Burnett & Lowell + Cash seems a little lopsided. I think Jenks will we thrown in also. I don't know about the Jenks part (because we don't have enough depth in the pen to do give up 2 arms), but I agree that it seems a little lopsided.

Just don't give up Contreras. As much as I hate to see him pitch, we can't lose the depth.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 11:58 AM) I hardly doubt it, but ok. You hardly doubt it?

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 11:24 AM) Everything I hear, Burnett isn't the GM of the Marlins. They'll take the best offer regardless... Remember, he is a good friend of Ozzie... I'm saying the guy seems like he doesn't want to play here. If he doesn't want to play here, he might fall under the title of cancer. I haven't heard one comment of him saying or hinting at the fact that he'd like to play for the White Sox. On the other hand, I heard a few things about him wanting to play in Toronto or Boston.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:16 AM) And I can't imagine it's that easy to get birth control over there either. . . And who knows how many other children there were that didn't "survive."

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:59 AM) According to the Eastern Sports Chowda Network ESPN. Matt (Boston,MA): Where will A.J Burnett be pitching next week? SportsNation Buster Olney: (11:22 AM ET ) Matt: If I had to guess, I would say the Red Sox; I think that's where Burnett wants to go, from what I hear, and he's got some power to steer this thing because he's a free agent at the end of the year. But if Kenny Williams absolutely decides to go for it, even overpaying, that's how he'll wind up in Chicago. But again, this is such a fluid situation, I wouldn't bet my house on any particular team; Boston is the educated guess, today. Everything I hear is that Burnett wants to go somewhere that isn't Chicago. f*** him.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:41 AM) Soriano is on pace for 40 homers. He wouldn't be used to move guys over. I'm talking about in certain situations. Just asking can he bunt and/or move runners over. Like I said, I'd like to get him. Wonder what it would take?

I wonder if Soriano can do the little things at all. He wouldn't really get a chance to have to bunt or move a guy over in an offense like the Rangers or Yankees. He can steal, that's for damn sure. He'd seem perfect if he were LH. I'm still up for getting him.

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:11 AM) having heard us bashed over the years i try to refrain from making generalizations based on my experiences with a few people from any group of fans. except the cubs and packers. I'm usually surrounded by Red Sox fans 24/7. They're not really gross generalizations as they are 90% accurate.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:03 AM) I had heard NOTHING about the cameo, which made it better. I figured nobody knew anything about it, but I knew nothing at all about the movie before I saw it. I assumed there was a chance that it had gotten out or something. Still, it was a great cameo.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 07:34 AM) "I eat pieces of s*** like you for breakfast." "Ugh. You eat pieces of s*** for breakfast?!" OT: My friend worked at a race track and saw the guy who played Shooter McGavin. He yelled, "Hey, Shooter, I eat pieces of s*** like you for breakfast!" The guy turned around and did the pistol thing with his fingers. I think that's awesome.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 08:40 AM) How about they are dying because you LIVE IN A f***ING DESERT!!! all props to Sam Kinnison. Seriously, you live in a desert, you have no food, yet you keep having children. If they won't help themselves, why should I? Yes, it sounds cold, and it is, but it still is a valid question. Geography - note: Niger is landlocked and one of the hottest countries in the world Its northern four-fifths is desert, southern one-fifth is savanna, suitable for livestock and limited agriculture. Sounds like an ideal place to raise a family. Here is a little tidbit about all the starving childen: The birthrate is 6.75 children per woman. I would have a hard time feeding 7 kids. http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ng.html I don't know much about Niger, but I'm gonna guess it's an undeveloped country. People in undeveloped countries tend to have a lot of children because they're basically free labor.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 09:42 AM) I have to say, Charlie was an absolutely awesome flick. Although it wasn't as "creepy" as some of the critics would have liked you to believe, it was certainly werid and downright goofy. Although I haven't seen Wedding Crashers, I've heard nothing but GREAT things. Go see it, seriously. Everyone knows a girl like the crazy one in the movie, and that just makes it funnier. Oh, and there's a great cameo. Maybe a lot of people knew about it, but it was surprising to me.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 09:51 AM) You're the one b****ing. Levine said something could happen in the next 24 hours. Using the phrase 24 hour window implies the teams have 24 hours to get something done or that window is shut. Here's an example,if they give the Sox a 72 hour "window" to negotiate a contract extension, if that extension isn't agreed upon during that time, the negotiation would be terminated unless Burnett became White Sox property. I don't like Levine, and find some of his stuff incredibly inaccurate. But all he said was talks were serious and a deal could be struck in the next 24 hours. People on this thread are calling him a liar. He actually hasn't said anything that isn't true, even if no deal is eventually agreed to. I understood what he meant. And take it easy. Nobody's calling for Levine's head. I think we're all just having a little fun with him being wrong again. Bruce Levine sucks.

Obnoxious and bandwagon, the two words I'd use to describe Red Sox fans. Funny how you noticed, too.

35 minutes until Bruuuuuuuuuce is a liar...again.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 11:34 PM) So did Lance win or not??? Don't listen to him. What really happened is this. During the last leg of the race, in view of the finish line, Lance rode triumphantly with his glass of champagne in hand and all the confidence and satisfaction on Earth in his heart. Suddenly, a samurai hired by the French people sprung from amongst the awe-struck crowd and decapitated Lance. Fortunately enough, the body continued to pedal for the last few feet and Armstrong won by a hair. Paramedics on standby were able to sew his head back on with a needle and fishing line. He's expected to make a full recovery.

I'm now going to sleep a little disappointed because of Bruuuuuuuuuuce. If he hadn't said this, I really wouldn't have been hoping all day that he was right. That son of a b**** better be right and Burnett's on the Sox when I wake up in the morning.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 11:26 PM) And you are what you eat. Ahh, which brings to mind the quote of the famous philosopher/poet Nuke Cleveland. "Eat s***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 11:19 PM) The only problem I'd have is that if the Sox deal Contreras and Bmac they have zero options if Duque or another starter goes down. That doesn't sound like Ozzie at all, if Contreras is part of any deal, I think it would have to be one helluvah deal(s) favoring us. So you're saying we'll get Burnett and Schmidt, eh?
