QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:50 PM) Just announced - Carrasco starting tonight. Who will be long relief since he's obviously not stretched out?

QUOTE (chunk23 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:45 PM) KW overpaid. I disagree. You're thinking short term and this year's playoff implications. This helps us be a force for the next few years.

I think we easily have the best rotation in the AL.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:41 PM) oh my f***ing jesus!@ Indeed. I think I reflexively ejaculated upon hearing the news.

I bet you Buehrle's perfect game and all of the national media attention the Sox received had a minor role in Peavy's head. Who wouldn't want to pitch with Mark after seeing that?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:35 PM) Who the Hell is pitching tonight? Wise

Where will he play?

Is this a joke?

QUOTE (chunk23 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:23 PM) Isn't he on the dl? ^^^

Well at least we've got Kotsay.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 02:58 PM) Its been done already in the industrialized world, which is the basis people are using for national health care, right? I was referring to the cash for clunkers program.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 02:04 PM) You know how a song comnes on and it jkust kind of fits your day? Well today, for me, as my two months on South Padre Island surfing, sailing, kayaking, creep to a close, it is I would have thought you would be humming some classic favorites of yours like the 1891 hit "The River of Pleasure."

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 02:47 PM) Totally. This program was projected to cost one billion dollars which at $4500 per person comes out to about 22,200 people, and now has at least tripled in size. They couldn't even come close to projecting it right. Health care is supposed to be a one Trillion dollar program and involved an estimated 40,000,000 people, and we are just supposed to take their word that they got it right on something like 1000 X's the scale? Lol. Because there was totally a precedent they could establish with a program like this one.

QUOTE (3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 02:49 PM) He is texting/making jokes with Harold Reynolds and MLB Network crew. That should tell you how busy he is... I'm sure he'll see the attendance increase now.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 02:45 PM) Swisher's OBP is .367 though. We could have used his offense in April too... Well we don't have him anymore so why keep crying about the past.

QUOTE (TheHolyBovine @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 02:43 PM) Great info. Thanks. You'll get all the info you need within 20 minutes.

QUOTE (jenks45monster @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 02:43 PM) For who? Alonso? He didn't mention.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 02:42 PM) That was my point under the original post - and we trust these people to run our health care? I don't see how you can compare this program to health care. Not a very good comparison.

Word is Kenny forgot to set his alarm and woke up about 5 minutes ago.

Why did we trade Bobby Bonilla? Why did we trade Sammy Sosa?

Griffey was, and is, a marginal player at this stage in his career. He was about as good as Kotsay is right now.
