QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 09:31 AM) he does, but shouldn't that be the case with most major league CF'ers outside of Fukudome? Yes but every other guy we trotted out in CF the last 4 years has not had a good read on the ball at contact.

You have to admit he has a great first read on balls.

I remember this being a big fan favorite when I went to a Nats game.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 03:08 AM) David Huff. That guy. Looks like Gary Glover.

I've joined the "we don't need Halladay" crowd. Mike was right that we pretty much picked up an ace with the way Jose is pitching now.

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.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 03:03 PM) They did actually videotape it, and said that if you got into the department, you could have a copy. 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?
