The one time I'm rooting for Grienke and he looks like s***.

Finally. Someone with common sense when it comes to the environment...

Hopefully when he eventually plays for us in the bigs they'll play a sample of the annoying radio jingle "That's Jared!" whenever he steals or hits a triple.

I ended up not joining that department, and left law enforcement entirely, so I never got to see it. Someone probably has it, somewhere. I'd love to see it at 1.5 speed with the Benny Hill music playing.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 02:55 PM) ..but happy in the knowledge that we have the best damn bullpen in the game. Is this even true? I'm not sure I'm buying Hawk's constant praise of our bullpen. Granted it's better than most but it's not as elite as he makes it out to be.

We need a youtube of this. LOL

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 12:06 PM) And boom goes the dynamite... Right on man! Appropriate person to post in this thread.

If I woke up from a 40 year coma and read this thread I would be led to believe that MJ was exponentially worse than Hitler.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 11:15 AM) I'd s*** if we got Halladay. Hopefully figuratively.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 10:03 AM) I think someone else said it best: Either this is a smokescreen by Kenny, or he's just covering his ass early for not making any big moves to improve this team. It's plain stupid if that's the case. Why not just shut your mouth instead of pissing off fans?

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 10:01 AM) Kenny added Griffey, Swisher, Linebrink, Dotel, and Cabrera last year Yeah those guys will normally get a team to increase attendance by 40%. /green

Happy Birthday old man!

Doesn't trading for a marquee player boost attendance?

Heh. I know you queued this one up a few minutes ago.

f*** you Kenny. Where were the big trades when attendance was soaring?

Per Cowley's twitter, Ozzie says landing Halladay is a big fairy tale.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 7, 2009 -> 01:56 PM) Unless some team goes nuts and offers him an extension like 3 years, 60 million, there's just no reason for him to not become a free agent. Unless he's hiding a minor injury.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 7, 2009 -> 01:51 PM) There is no way you deal Beckham. Sorry. For Haren?

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jul 7, 2009 -> 01:49 PM) I trade Beckham for Halladay. I also include Fields for Rolen and cash. I'm glad you're not our GM.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jul 7, 2009 -> 12:44 PM) can anyone help with the date? Today is July 07, 2009.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jul 7, 2009 -> 12:38 PM) In the past the Sox have crushed a pitcher one outing then a week later that same pitcher dominates them in return. Let's not have that happen today... Thanks for making me nervous.

How old was Pedro when his stuff took a nose dive...particularly his fastball?
