Is this the same foot that he messed up last year?

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 04:06 PM) Boxscore shows that Frank was pinch hit for in the 4th inning in a scoreless game (at the time). Did Frank hurt himself again? ESPN said he left the game with an illness

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 01:05 PM) I thought I heard somewhere it was a concious decision. It's possible the WBC had an effect, but that would have worn off by now. I just want him traded. Longer season, then the WBC, then Spring training, right into the season. His arm is probably extremely dead right now. He is most definitely hurting the team with his loss of velocity though, and it needs to be addressed either through a long stint on the DL to rest with McCarthy taking his place, or a trade.

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 01:01 PM) I think your analysis of Garcia's value is heavily tainted by homerism. But I don't want to argue about this any more. Feel free to continue if you like. didnt think so. Dont assume

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 12:58 PM) He's a free agent, so he's going somewhere. not true. possibility, not gauranteed

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 12:55 PM) I think you're being overly optimistic and homeristic, but maybe I'm wrong. We'll agree to disagree. really? Quote one of my homeristic posts.

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 12:49 PM) Garcia isn't a guy who is pitching the same as he always has, but just isn't getting the job done. For the entirety of this season, his stuff has been completely different from how it used to be. Do you think that is just going to magically turn itself around? I'll guarantee you that no other GM thinks it will. Anyone who thinks there is a good trade market for Garcia and that GM's are lining up to give away key players for him is living in the most interesting and odd fantasy world. I think you overreact. A lot.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 12:46 PM) Thank God the Sox offense has been on fire this season. No kidding. Lots of good offenses fade when the pitching isnt up to par. This offense can explode against any given team at any given moment.

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 12:44 PM) I don't mean to insult, but are you kidding? A team in a pennant race would trace FOR Garcia? Do you think a team in a pennant race would trade for a pitcher who has been nearly an automatic loss spot in the roation? No team in a race would want him. No one could risk it. You don't pick up a reclamation project and put him in your rotation for a stretch run. reclamation project, lol apparently the DFA is already done

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 12:40 PM) Especially seeing how most people on here probably didn't even know what it meant until recently and a lot of them still don't know what it means. Exactly. Just letting him go with nothing in return is like burning money. Doesnt Russ Ortiz collect his paychecks from Arizona and Baltimore this year?

This DFA fad is hilarious Anyone chatting today?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 12:28 PM) Stop posting, just stop hitting the god damn button. lol

Hawk and DJ taking the pitching to task

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 09:16 AM) I think Freddy'll be throwing just fine today. I have a secret source who told me so. Psychotropic drugs dont count as sources

QUOTE(POPPY_HIDALGO @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 04:05 AM) We need a banner going into this game. Something BIGTIME Peter Gabriel style. Maybe godzilla ozzie eating matsui or something. And that is the AFLAC random post of the day

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 08:33 AM) Too bad they had to sign Erubiel Durazo to a MLC a few days back. Man if he gets back to the form he had for Oakland a few seasons back, well the Twins are going to be good. Very good. Durazo is a guy who lives on the DL. He is kind of like Kerry Wood in the "When Healthy...." aspect comes in to it.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 11:24 PM) When did playboy mansion start having fatty night... that black chick is way too fat to be playboy... Fat? What is your problem? What an ignorant thing to say

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 01:35 AM) SIU shall beat some UNI ass. That is all. Only if the game is not played in Cedar Falls. Otherwise, the Salukis are doomed to lose a shootout 66-64, like every year. I swear NIU gets some 50 yard pass to the endzone to end the game every time against SIU.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 12:29 PM) Maybe the Sox can flip Garland to the Cubs for Wood, I'd like to see Coop try to work his magic with Kid K, we could have an Ace for our staff right there. i am positive this will draw a hilarious response.

QUOTE(beautox @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 10:36 AM) So he did piss in your Cheerios. The guy was automatic the first half of last year, and a lesser man would stay at home and wait for his checks in the mail, Dustin is actually trying to be proactive, i see nothing wrong with having some hope for him taking over mop up role for the sox. Hey, if he contributes, great. im not holding my breath. Im not putting my faith in his back, which had plenty of time to heal in the offseason. QUOTE(MSHAWKS @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 10:39 AM) I agree. I think Bobby Thigpen has a better chance of resurrecting his career and helping the Sox this year than Hermanson. hey, looks like he pissed in your cheerios too!

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 10:18 AM) We all know it. Fans, management, owners, etc. We don't have that same edge we did last year. It's not to say that we won't get it back, but ... we need to find the MOJO. This is eerily similiar to last year, didn't we get swept in the series before the ASB? I can't remember exactly. I was thinking the same thing, actually. The Sox got spanked in Oakland last year before the AS break, and came out all guns blazing in Cleveland after the AS break. The difference I see in Detroit this year and the Sox last year is that the Sox had an incredible amount of breathing room in the second half. If the Tigers slip at all, the Sox are right there behind them. the second half should be fun to watch.

QUOTE(beautox @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 09:55 AM) Man Kyle you've been really down on Hermanson since the news of his possible return was announced. Did he piss in your Cheerios? Seriously though. Yesterday he pitched again in one inning threw 10 pitches 8 for strikes, 2 ground outs and 1 strike out. He then came back out for the next inning and preceded to walk two batters, but they were both on full counts, that makes two scoreless IP, and he has yet to give up a hit. Why wouldn't you want him coming back? were paying him for this year and were only asking for him to have a career norm year(4.21ERA & 1.36 WHIP). All this sox BP needs is a person for low leverage work that wont s*** the bed. Hmmm, didnt realize that I should put so much trust in a guy who gave pretty much nothing to the team the second half of last year due to injury, had the winter to rehab, and had the injury resurface after only a couple of ST outings. 2 Scoreless IP. Wowee, let me do a backflip at the great news. Wow, Politte was AWESOME in his rehab stint! That means he is good, right?/green

I dont like the quote "opening a spot for Dustin Hermanson". I would be very surprised if Hermanson had anything left to offer.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 09:35 AM) Now the only question is the date on which the Yankees will sign him. Knowing Beane, Zito will probably be traded at the deadline to get some value back. I wonder how that will go.

Zito just became the greatest free agent ever.
