duh looking for more substance

Its obvious they suck, why are u still paying attentio?

nah pretty old news by this point.....more tigers fans than sox fans tongiht anyways.

QUOTE(Jeremy @ Jul 23, 2007 -> 03:55 PM) Trading Contreras brings in $10 million each of the next two seasons which brings in talent. who in their right mind would want contreras right now.

QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Jul 23, 2007 -> 03:49 PM) definently Theodore. i think he looks more throws more like the chef from mission impossible.

QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Jul 23, 2007 -> 03:46 PM) he looks like a girl chipmunk too. Alvin, Simon or Theodore.....

QUOTE(AirScott @ Jul 23, 2007 -> 03:44 PM) It's a rather weak bandwagon...I'm on it...I'm urging people to not completely write him off yet. If he can get on base at a .350 clip, he'll be a valuable starter. Don't be surprised to see headlines like "Sox want Owens to add strength" during the offseason. better than seeing sox want pods to add strength.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 23, 2007 -> 03:43 PM) Pence was the deal break. Williams insisted he would be a part of any package. exactly!!!

I just wonder who else is involved, please let it be James Posey

QUOTE(Shadows @ Jul 23, 2007 -> 03:18 PM) I don't know where you got that info, but thats not what was said down here I have my sources....

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 23, 2007 -> 03:36 PM) agreed on that part completely. hopefully after Pods and Erstad re-injury themselves once again, we can finally DFA/release them. They have no part of this team, makes me think of the Royals pre 2006, using useless veterans for no reason.....i dont want anything to do with pods or erstad.

seems like a pile of nothing, looks like no trades.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 23, 2007 -> 03:30 PM) big whoop... let me know when he hits for a full two months. maybe then I would considered jumping on the bandwagon. Why does it matter anyways, rather use a spect than have useless players like Erstad or Pods play..i mean hello were in last place.

I heard Chuck and LArry was a great movie.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 23, 2007 -> 03:12 PM) Mike and Mike are hosting the 6 PM EST Sportscenter. anything is better than booya man

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jul 23, 2007 -> 03:22 PM) Add my name to the list of those who think this is an absurd trade from the Sox' standpoint. Garland is only 27, but has been a full-time starter for 6 years, and is coming off back-to-back 18-win seasons. Now he's not going to get there this year, in part due to our pathetic offense and even worse bullpen. He's also averaged more than 200 innings/year and does not get hurt. At the very least the Sox should try to re-sign him before they trade him. Everyone thought he wouldn't extend his contract last time, so any argument that he wants the sky or wants to leave would have to be discounted this time too. If he won't sign (say Buerhle's extension), then he will have to be traded. But there are several reasons to wait until the offseason to make such a trade: 1. We may need pitching back in any Garland trade given the fact that the only guy we have on our pitching staff of any consequence that we drafted is Mark Buehrle. That's it. If all these guys we drafted in recent years were even close to being ready -- Gio, Broadway, etc., etc., etc. -- you would think at least one of them could help us in our pathetic bullpen. But none of them can. Forgive me if I'm not holding my breath for these prospects to step in and take over for Jon Garland. 2. Mid-season, no one is going to give us pitching for Garland. But they might in the offseason. We pulled off two such trades last year alone -- Freddie for Floyd/Gio, and McCarthy for Danks/Masset. 3. Mid-season trades are limited to contending teams. Offseason trades open up our options. In addition, if we do end up having to trade Garland, then by all means we HAVE to get players that are YOUNGER and CHEAPER, but will contribute significantly to a winning team. Trading for a 31-year-old SS who failed in the AL and whose contract is comparable to Garland's would be the height of insanity. it was turned down why keep talking about it?

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 23, 2007 -> 03:24 PM) sorry, but I am not going to jump on the bandwagon of a guy who has only hit for a week... IIRC, mostly everybody wanted to see Owens gone last month, and now since had a good week he is the best thing since Lance Johnson. Same thing goes for Andy Gonzalez. One good week and everyone was saying how good this guy was. That didn't last now did it? no he said he is hitting well for july, that is a whole month, keep the kid up.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 23, 2007 -> 03:05 PM) if good means barely hitting the ball out of the infield, then yes, Jerry Owens is awesome. He is getting on base, i dont care how he does it.

First game is makeup......

This ref has his life threatened and some lunatic will probably kill him.

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Jul 23, 2007 -> 02:30 PM) If the Association was aware since January that Donaghy was under investigation and allowed him to work games, then every fan who attended those games deserves a full refund and the entire executive offices of the Association should resign forthwith. I realize that none of this will happen, but they suits in New York should realize that most of the people who were on the fence about the quality of play and officiating just jumped off the fence and are walking away. I let my partial season tickets lapse a few years ago, but it'll be a very long time before I pay for an NBA ticket, if indeed I ever do. Harsh but somewhat true.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 23, 2007 -> 02:53 PM) It would not surprise me to see Dye or Erstad back next year. JUST NO PODS

We wanted pence too

I cant believe im going to the doubleheader tomorrow after watching the last double header live also.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Jul 23, 2007 -> 02:25 PM) For some odd reason, I think if Contreras has a decent next start, some team will take a flyer on him. There are many teams who are close to the playoffs after being sub-.500 teams for awhile--such as the Mariners, Brewers. With few SP's available, the sox do seem to have a chance here to get someone decent via trade. well if ozzie did not shift his infield for a cruddy hitter we may be talking a different jive.
