QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 4, 2014 -> 08:46 PM) Certainly not wrong, but that team still had a big time offense. We need a Dye to our PK(Abreu). If they can snag Stanton they're probably gonna be willing to put that payroll back up into the 120 range. Say Stanton gets 25M a year, that'll put the Sox salary at ~75M next year, 71M in 2016, Danks and Lexi's 25M come off the books in 2017, and Abreu/Sale are the only guys locked up in 2018. Trading Lexi for pitching could also free up even more $$. If they do decide to get that payroll back up to ~120 Stantons ~25 wouldn't prevent them from adding pitching. IIRC the Sox had a pretty mediocre offense, right in the middle of the pack

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Sep 4, 2014 -> 04:16 PM) I don't know about you guys, but I'm worried about the game tonight. Rightfully so

I haven't had a dog for a few years and I hate it, but with a 4 year old and 16 month old in the house it just isn't the right time for us. Once my dogs passed away we jumped right in and adopted 2 more basset hounds but had to give them up after my wife became pregnant, because she developed a severe allergy to them. I thought I wanted to get a different breed like a German shorthair pointer, but the longer I go without dogs, the more I want to get a basset and a chocolate lab again. Hopefully we can get a puppy(or two) in a few years when the boys are older.

It wasn't about the money. It's about Phils vision. And the money. Ok mostly the money. Alright it was all about the money

QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 4, 2014 -> 02:12 PM) You'd think if Shea was a Lovie pick he wouldn't be given all these chances. Dude is a starting LB this year, and I actually think he'll do well in that role. He was Emerys first pick ever, he still will get the chances regardless if he was picked because Lovie wanted him

Sorry to hear that Joe, losing my two dogs within a month of each other in 2012 was one of the toughest things I have ever gone through

But Abreu is tired. And needs the month off

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 4, 2014 -> 08:32 AM) At least half of Farmer's and Harrelson's broadcasts are name-dropping the same set of about 50-75 names from the past, at least I sometimes throw a little variety into it to spice it up. Your variety is naming cubs prospects in any thread you can. And trying to pose them in an argument against another point. Gillaspie vs Flowers? Schwarber hits a lot, but Almora? Hawk cutting back on road games? Bryant will hit 40 homeruns guaranteed, but what is Baez OPS if Hawk isn't calling the game? Spencer Adams or Chris Bassitt? The answer is Arrietta, or is it? Maybe it is not, maybe it is Hendricks, Alcantara or Vitters

RIP Betty White Edit: or not. f***ing internet

I still am going to hang the McLellin pick on Lovie more than Emery. Lovie and Marinelli loved Shea and went to work him out a few times and met with him in Boise on his pro day. Emery shouldn't have let that affect his pick, he should have made his own, but he did.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 4, 2014 -> 09:13 AM) http://www.freep.com/article/20140904/COL08/309040066/ Detroit columnist addresses the impact of the photo hack/leak on Justin Verlander and the Tigers' season. Taking some really pointed comments from the fans in the comments section...not one supporter that I can see. Lots of jealousy, though. There is no impact, Verlander was terrible before the leak, and looks to be terrible after the leak. The rest of the team isn't going to stop playing baseball because Verlander was shown standing naked next to Upton.

Lol Hawk sounds terrible

Ah this is fun John Danks tonite

QUOTE (bshah723 @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 11:51 AM) Not saying I like the move, it would suck and hes done. But IMO its going to happen when the philles do a overhaul they will look for an AL team...with a need... The Sox just traded that player away, They dont need Dunn part 2. And at least Dunn could play outfield if asked, Howard can barely play 1B

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 08:42 AM) Justin Verlander's starting today, FYI. Wonder how he'll do with all the public scrutiny and humiliation. Knowing the Tigers' announcers, they would never dare bring it up, other than saying something generic about "outside distractions" or the like. Felix Hernandez and Jon Lester as well in a key game for both teams out West. seriously, there are not many home team announcers that are gonna bring that up. What the heck are they gonna say? "Hey did you see those leaked naked pics of Verlander and Upton?" They arent up there to discuss things like that, and "outside distractions" is probably a good thing for them to keep it at

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 08:08 AM) I was a fan of his, but he is slowly becoming unlikeable. He has gone from enthusiastic and excited to passive aggressive and moody. Maybe that contract is weighing on him

His decision to cut back on road games started last night. In the 9th inning he said "F*** THIS SH**" and left

i think Fitzgerald is going to have to step back and realize that the golden boy luster CAN wear off, and stop having some of the bizarre press conferences he has had the past couple years.
