You would be in the Top 10 if you werent up my ass all the time! LOL! But thats the best thing about me. Im honest to my opinions whether youre my best friend or worst enemy. Some people may not see that, but thats just because they are wrong so much. I honestly do NOT play favorites. Clujer, heather and hsc are people i would actually call friends, and im still on them when i feel theyre wrong. Take no offense.

Ahhh that makes some sense. Thanks.

no. Where did u hear that?

I agree. I just dont think any player on rehab is a good fit for a team in the playoff hunt. His heart isnt on getting players out as much as it is working out his flaws and kinks, or regaining arm strength, etc.

Why does Pittsburgh even have a team? Pathetic. Same in Detroit, Montreal, etc. The state of the game of baseball is terrible. Teams are just totally melting down, and it is discusting. Bud Selig has allowed this sport to just be ruined. Yeah it angers me too. One team can buy anyone they wish(insert yankees here) and another team trades off their best players every season. Give me ONE good reason for a fan to remain a expo or pirate fan.

Yeah i can see that, but you KNOW those players care. I dunno i think the sox should care more about their minor league players than that.

Why does Pittsburgh even have a team? Pathetic.

Hey how do they decide what level to send players to who are going on rehab assignments? I find it interesting where they sent Koch. It just seems odd that they would send someone on rehab, to a level and team who is battling to make it to the post season. I mean Koch is there to work out kinks. Doesnt seem to be a good match to me.

Oh dont believe that BS.

My favorite posters...hmm (no order, that'd take too long) Bmr Old roman Gash Chisoxfn Spiff Doub LDF Cerb rafa Bet you wouldnt have me in the top 10 when we were over at wsi. Hmmm our top 10 looks similar.

I'll take him.

I dunno man. All their talent is already on the big club.

You sure? Theres quite a few weirdos here. I think WSC ranks right up there.

Damn good news. Alomar is already my favorite player on the sox. IF you ever want a team player, this is the guy. He knows how to play the game.

No. My vision was for the rest of the season.

Hsc says...........SUB f***IN PAR COMPARED TO THE REST OF HIS TEAM MATES.. EXCEPT FOR CLAYTON IN THOSE TWO SEASONS........damn........ Need i say more? LOL sorry hsc, just messing with ya.

SUB f***IN PAR COMPARED TO THE REST OF HIS TEAM MATES.. EXCEPT FOR CLAYTON IN THOSE TWO SEASONS........damn........ I have to interject here. Those 4 years 99-02, Paulie roughly averaged .290 - 26 - 95. I'm sorry ladies, but to me those are pretty solid numbers. Other than Magglio, what teammates are you comparing him to over this period? Who else has put up that numbers that solid over those four years other than Ordonez? .... Frank? Carlos? Jose? .... NOT Until this season, Paulie has been a solid, productive first baseman. The numbers you posted actually prove this. Not everyone has the talents of Magglio Ordonez and not everyone gets paid like him either, including PK. Yas among 1st basemen, those numbers are really only average, if you exclude his best year. On the sox? Sure they were above average. I just went through some stats. Over the 4 year period of 99-02 that we are talking about, I see 7 firstbasemen who's numbers were superior to PK's. Those are Bagwell, Delgado, Giambi, Helton, McGriff (maybe), Sweeney and Thome. There are 3 guys with numbers similar to PK's: Klesko, Olerud, Sexson. Out of 30 teams, I'm finding 10 1B's who are better than or as good as PK. I'm talking strictly offensive numbers for those 4 years here. Paulie fits in there somewhere between 8th best and 11th best offensive producing firstbaseman in the big leagues for the four year period of 99-02. Out of 30 teams, that, by definition, is above average. There are at least 19 other ML teams that didn't get the production at 1B that PK supplied the Sox. Dont mean to split hairs, but the arguement was excluding his best season. I do think Pauly is above average, but not much. Also, you probably didnt factor in speed and defense, so.... Granted ... And I emphasized "offensive production" in my post. I also looked at the 4 year time period, which was what I was refering to in my original post. And in that post, I was refutting HSC's claim that he didn't produce as well as his teammates. You brought up a point that I thought had some merit, so I checked it out. I'm not saying you were wrong, because average and slightly above average are pretty damn close. Ahhh dont mind HSC, she just rants and rambles about things because she has a personal agenda. She knows a lot about baseball, she just lets little things like emotions get in the way of facts.

I dont think anyone ever said the sox wouldnt remain in the race. I think people said they wouldnt win the division. Any average team could remain in this race and the sox barely have a lead. I dont think he has room to be saying I told ya so, just yet.

1) Who will win the series (CHW/NYY) (2 points)? NYY 2) Will Frank Thomas have an RBI (Y/N) (2 points)? YES 3) How many errors will the Sox make (4 points)? 2 4) Which Sox bullpen pitcher will face the most batters (4 points)? Gordon 5) How many hits will Joe Crede have in the series (5 points)? 2 6) How many innings will Esteban Loaiza pitch to the nearest third (5 points)? 7 7) Who will lead the Sox in batting average for the series (min. 6 ABs) (4 points)? Mags 8) Which bullpen will give up more earned runs (CHW/NYY) (2 points)? NYY 9) Who will lead the AL Central after the series (2 points)? SOX 10) Will Hideki Matsui hit a homerun (Y/N) (2 points)?
