QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 01:50 PM) Wow, do our 3-4-5 always slump at the exact same time? uh, JD isn't slumping (unless you call his day yesterday a slump), and Thome isn't in today's game, but walked 4 times yesterday.

QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 01:49 PM) did the yanks give up hughs? No clue. Roto: "According to ESPN, the Yankees have reached a tentative deal to acquire Bobby Abreu and Cory Lidle from the Phillies."

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 01:48 PM) ESPNews Ugh...PK's changed his stance a little, and looks awful. I miss the old leg kick PK swing. Any word on what the deal is? And yea, PK is really looking bad recently. He looks uncomfertable.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 01:46 PM) Yep, Abreu to Yanks. Link?

Singles, woo!

This doesn't have anything to do with today's game, but for those of you that go to many games, do you often see the Bat boy signing autographs? I was at the game yesterday (5th row next to the Sox dugout), and one person asked for an autograph. Suddenly, a whole bunch of kids came running over getting him to sign things. It was hilarious.

Nice single by Pods there.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 01:37 PM) Did that girl's voice keep cracking, or was that the microphone? That was a pretty bad rendition of the national anthem. I think it was the mic, but if not, that was horrible.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 12:57 PM) I just want to know from Kenny W that he is making every effort to keep Joe Crede with the Sox. If we are fair and Booooras is fair we can keep Joe for 4 or 5 more years. He is worth it and we need him. Josh Fields can play LF. Yea, its not like we have the rights to Joe Crede through 2008 or anything.

QUOTE(korntownballa @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 06:07 AM) would it be kinda like the grady sizemore deal where we can lock him up for 6 more years at 30 million dollars b/c hes not a FA yet? Unless he fires Boras, no. That would be much lower than what Boras would aim for. That being said, I do remember Crede saying something awhile ago about how its his contract, and that he isn't a tool who just listens to Boras for everything (not those words of course). I still find it unlikely that $30m/6 would happen.

Just a suggestion, but instead of the ESPN salaries page, you could use something like this, which is much more in depth about each players contract, etc. Excellent extension

QUOTE(knightni @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:46 AM) How's that NFL Coach game? I hated it.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 07:55 AM) That's the 2nd time Ive heard that in 2 days. Where was the other one? I was in Baltimore yesterday, and wouldn't want to miss a great thread I'd also like to point out that on the AMAZINGLY GREAT RUMOR SOURCE SITE, there lies this beauty: Rumor is a major deal is going to happen between the Padres/Redsox/Phillies/Rockies Padres recieve: P Josh Beckett Lf Manny Ramirez R Jon Papplebon Phillies Recieve: P David Wells OF Willy Mo Pena R Edgar Martinez Rockies Recieve: OF Trot Nixon P Manny Declarmen P Cory Lidle OF Bobby Abreu Red Sox Recieve: Snow from the rockie mountains 15 24 packs of Budweiser A beach slap from Padres,Rockies,and Phillies

QUOTE(korntownballa @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:06 AM) I just love excuses! It was incredibly hot there, and if he was actually sick (which is likely the case), then I feel sorry for him being out there for as long as he was.

This thread is the greatest.

So you are saying he should have left BMac in, who looked horrible on the mound. Real smart. Who cares if we win the game or not, as long as the bullpen is available for Javy's start! I think Rowand44 basically said everything that needs to be said.

I just got back from Baltimore, and let me just say that the first 2 games of this series were amazing to watch in person. That's all for now.

I went to Pittsburgh to see the Sox in June, and am going to Baltimore in an hour or so. Past that, nothing much... besides moving to Minnesota for college QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 12:50 PM) Where is my fish? Beware of the fish people, they are the true enemy.

Cotts was actually sent from Oakland to Chicago, not Chicago to Oakland. Funny how he was one of the "two minor leaguers"

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 27, 2006 -> 11:59 AM) Someone said there was a rift between Garland and Ozzie? The first post hinted at it.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Jul 27, 2006 -> 11:20 AM) You need to read the Sun-Times today. Garland was hanging out in Ozzie's office shooting the breeze after that incident; so much for a big grudge between those two.
