Not this year. Josh Fields is the player of the game tonight by a MILE.

And Erstad continues to prove that he IS valuable to this club.

That has been a CONSTANT this year and last.

Ugh... is the title incorrect on this thread or what? Did the Cubs actually acquire Pods???

I'm waiting for Stone to jump in with Hawk on the "YES!" after a Sox home run

That makes sense, but he was coming through with the clutch hits, decent speed, and he also had some pretty damn good defense (its not ALL about hitting). So IMO, that made Erstad valuable.

I think KW has conjured a genious plan. We finally get rid of Pods so we get an A baller in return, and KW can breath a sigh of relief because we have Grinderstad! That said, I am not as harsh towards Erstad as a lot of people are. Before he got injured, he was producing. IMO his injury is the only reason people can say much negative about him.

I'm really surprised that there's many supporters left for Ozzie, and I honestly kinda laugh at them. I can't remember who it was, but I pretty much lost all the remaining support I had for Ozzie when he put the shift on for some guy who was batting .190 or something, then kept the shift on after he tried bunting it down the first base line. That was it for me. Ozzie is not a good manager. Period.

Amazing. I got back from out of town, having been gone for a week and find this out, along with the fact that the Sox have been on a tear. Maybe I should go on vacation more often, lol. What has Bobby's velocity looked like during this stretch?

I for one like DJ, but I have to admit that Hawk and Stone sound pretty good together.

Damn. First game game I've missed in weeks and Richar was playing? How did he look offensively/defensively?

I'm completely with you on that. I dunno if that will happen, but who knows?

Yeah, I suppose the problem is that we never get major leaguers in return. I just figure that if a player is in the majors and deserves to be, he's major league trade material. Maybe that's just me.

After being a member of this site for 2 years now, I have to ask... is there anyone any fellow Sox fans here believe have any major league trade value???

I also like him. His delivery alone is nice. I just hope that should his decency continue, he doesn't become the Shingo of '07-'08.

Oh, GOD, I hope someone got a close up shot of that horse riding there

Hey, is Timo available?

Um, whoa. Who the hell is going to be our everyday 2B???

Yeah, we need more enthusiasm in our beer vendor... like the hot dog vendor! HOT DOOOGS!!!

Congrats to the Buerhle family. Maybe he'll pitch for us someday

Some things Curt said were true, but other things he said make me believe he's an idiot. As far as Bonds, it's amazing you only hear subtle and nice things from Bonds on TV. I can't believe he would stoop so low as to call someone a midget O_o

Last year Contreras had a HUGE run and at times was considered the best pitcher in baseball. I agree with you, but at that time there was no way of knowing. IMO, this thread is stupid.

HE THROWS THE BALL AWAY!!! HE THROWS THE BALL AWAY!!!!! PODSEDNIK IS BEING WAVED AROUND BY SHINES!!! HE SLIDES IN... SAFE!!! AND THIS BALL GAME IS OVAAAAA!!!!!!! Oh, Hawk. You're so funny.

September call-ups should be fun this year.
