QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 24, 2005 -> 10:42 PM) Someone has to pitch in those situations. yep, your worst reliever who shouldn't be on the team next season.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 24, 2005 -> 10:35 PM) Wow, Luis Vizcaino must be the worst pitcher with a 2.60 ERA after the break ever listening to some of you. Viz, contrary to conventional wisdom, doesn't totally suck. He was used in a lot of non-pressure situations in the second half. I have no faith in Vizciano, none. 74 hits in 70 innings? I think first half Vizciano is the real Viz, he has a career ERA of 4.36 (horrible for a pen guy).

QUOTE(Kenkait Sox Fan @ Nov 24, 2005 -> 10:28 PM) He would be a valuable member of the pen as long as you bring him in to start an inning he did pretty good job of getting out of Marte's jam during the Boston series.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 24, 2005 -> 10:15 PM) ...but he could definately be a better guy at long relief than Viz - and it's cold in January. i also heard the earth revolves around the sun (not sure if it's true)

HAHA! that is classic.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Nov 24, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) IMO. Who needs El Duque in the rotation? IMO, he should stay in relief, and yes I mean STAY. After seeing what he did for us in the playoffs, I'd keep him another year unless we can get someone really good for him. thats pretty much what I think too. I think Duque could be a lights-out bullpen guy.

that would be great if he injured himself wreslin'

good post AddisonSt. I agree 100%.

uh oh, Mariotti likes the Thome trade. i'm worried now.

QUOTE(JoshPR @ Nov 24, 2005 -> 12:38 AM) fRANK WILL PROBABLY RETIRE if his ankle doesn't heal ya think or he could glide around the bases

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Nov 24, 2005 -> 12:32 AM) not really... Especially not when it means FT's a goner... His ankle isn't healing correctly. Relying on him to DH or (god forbid) plaly 1B is a bad idea.

QUOTE(JoshPR @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 11:55 PM) That's my problem this team goes out and wins the series and still has to manuvre under the JR salary Cap. I wouldn't worry so much about the payroll and JR being cheap. I think the payroll will increase and we will field another WS calibur team in 06'.

QUOTE(mac9001 @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 11:27 PM) I don't really understand how this can be a positive trade? Thome had a no-trade clause and was apparently only willing to accept a trade to the White Sox and Indians, the Tribe didn't want him, so effectively the White Sox were the only team in the running for Thome. How do you know the Indians didn't want him? Maybe the Sox offered a better trade package to Philly.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 11:09 PM) Does Bruce Levine suck yet? Now Levine has gone back and forth about Pierre going to two different teams. A week or so ago, he said that the Cubs who were close to a deal for Pierre. Two days after that, he changed his stance and stated that he never said that the Cubs were close to a trade for Pierre. Earlier today, he reported that the Sox were still interested in trading for Pierre after the Thome trade went down. The very same day he reports that the Sox aren't interested in Pierre and will likely stick with Brian Anderson in center field. He's a carpet-bomber, nothing more. Cue the picture. levine is such a douchebag

QUOTE(FGarcia34 @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 08:45 PM) I would welcome a guy like pierre to add to pods at the top, thats a lethal 1-2. me too

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 09:04 PM) I think one statement that may stick to the current Bush and remain as an awful emblem for part of his legacy is: “We do not torture.” "evildoers" Oh yea, what is Jim Thome's nickname?

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 08:34 PM) I'm rather angry that we did not sign him you would want the Sox to sign Howry for 12 million over 3 years?

QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 06:23 PM) Actually, when I look at the deal, this is a steal for the Sox: Totally

QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 06:08 PM) Not really, they had a pretty good player named Ryan Howard step up and win NL ROY. true. but 22 million is still a lot of salary to eat.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 05:35 PM) Thome is a better defensive 1B than Konerko. People forget that Thome, when healthy is good with the glove. Thome is NOT better defensively than Konerko at first.

i hate scalpers

QUOTE(SnB @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 05:35 PM) if any male member of this board votes for mittens, they should be immediately banned.

I really like this deal. Hopefully Thome bounces back this year, but the Phillies are eating 22 million of his salary (looks like they think he's about finished).

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Nov 22, 2005 -> 06:25 PM) damn, those 53.3 million dollar a year salaries are hard to trade. haha, i was thinking the same thing.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 08:09 PM) That guy is the absolute worst in a long line of really bad Eddie Vedder wannabes. haha, yea he is. Steve Albini thinks he sounds like foghorn leghorn http://www.nonstick.com/sounds/Foghorn.gif , but i prefer to think of his vocal style as that of someone singing out of one side of their mouth as if due to the fact that the other side of the mouth is chomping on a cigar.... cigar singers. If he actually sang while puffing on a cigar I would still think he sucks, just not as much.
