I can't wait to see this.

Getz fits the needs of the team better right now. Getz gives the team a bat who makes contact most of the time, can handle the bat a bit, and can run. Fields is another one dimensional power bat. With the middle of the line up that we have, we need guys who are threats in other ways.

I was really surprised Ozzie pulled Gavin at that point. He had only 95 pitches, and he usually lets them work out of it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 29, 2009 -> 03:20 PM) Really is kind of amazing that we haven't yet heard the full story from him of how it developed, whether it was a ponzi scheme from the start, why he did it, etc. Which is exactly why the judge gave him the max. He was totally uncooperative.

Michael's mother Katherine is getting temporary custody of his three kids... This got me wondering, who are the mothers of the kids?

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jun 29, 2009 -> 02:51 PM) Basically a life sentence. 20-30 years would have been a life sentence for a 70 year old Madoff. This was a message for not giving up any info on the scheme.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 29, 2009 -> 12:23 AM) Check out this boxscore: http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...ox&did=milb The losing team lost by 15 runs..... and they scored 18!!!! That is obscene even in a softball game. Wow.

He gets the maximum possible sentence... So much for getting off easy.

QUOTE (RoyHobbs @ Jun 29, 2009 -> 11:33 AM) Does anyone know when the official makeup day is for the Tuesday, Wrigley rainout? I had tics to the game and can't find when they plan on making it up? I hear September sometime, but no exact date. The Sox and Cubs have two off days in common in Sept., but there has been no official announcement made for the new date.

Oh and a bit of friendly advice in Cleveland. Do NOT jaywalk. They take that type of stuff seriously, unlike Chicago.

Cleveland and Kansas City have been struggling. This is a good chance for us to make up some ground on the leaders going into the All-Star Break.

QUOTE (High Mileage @ Jun 29, 2009 -> 01:00 AM) I don't have access to the e-mail account I registered anymore, and free e-mail accounts aren't allowed. If you want to switch email addresses send me a PM with your new one and I will change it for you.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jun 29, 2009 -> 08:48 AM) Can someone explain to me why so much press about Derosa getting traded? The guy has only played 140+ games twice in his career, never more than 87 rbi's, never hit 300... what is the fascination with him? Joe Crede syndrome.

QUOTE (Jim Spencer @ Jun 28, 2009 -> 09:51 PM) Sec. 172 row B 3rd base side. Just avoid the drummer in the bleachers.

QUOTE (Jim Spencer @ Jun 28, 2009 -> 09:29 PM) I've got tickets to tomorrows game in Cleveland. Right now the weather forcast is 50% rain . I really hope I don't have to drive over 5 hours to sit in the rain This is my 1st time going to Cleveland and it looks like the directions I have are pretty easy to follow. Has anybody been to Progressive Field and how easy is it to get to from I90? Its very easy. It is also a great place to see a game. Where are you sitting?

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 28, 2009 -> 07:18 PM) I hope there are no braille computers out there.... Technically almost every computer is, because they have the notches on the F and J keys to denote where to place your fingers for homerow.

I think you guys are on to something with this list being fake. When someone comes out and gives it legitimacy, I'll believe it, but until then, I don't think so.

QUOTE (WSoxMatt @ Jun 28, 2009 -> 09:16 PM) Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, GOOD-BYE!!! Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, GOOD-BYE!!! Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, GOOOOOOOOOOD-BYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYE!!! Ah my favorite song of all time!

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Jun 28, 2009 -> 09:03 PM) Sans this series, we just havent been playing well at home. Many games boring and dont forget all those shut outs. The Dodgers series was one hell of a series against the best team in baseball.

If attendance is being brought up the Cubs must be in 4th place...

They really owned the Cubs this weekend, dispite how badly they played in the defensive and mental aspects of the game this weekend. The Cubs just suck right now.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jun 28, 2009 -> 01:00 PM) I find it interesting that every place other than baseball reference has the sox with with 43 unearned runs given up... while baseball reference has them at 41 runs given up. Every other stat matches up perfectly across the board. Odd. The could be counting them by team instead of individual pitcher, which can be two different totals. For example. A starting pitcher is in for a two out error. The manager brings in a reliever, who promptly gives up a two run homer. The two runs are uneared for the team total, but the reliever does get an earned run for his own total by giving up the homer. Its an oddity.

The amazing stat for the Sox this year is 43 unearned runs. They gave up 53 in all of 2005.

Is Hopper going to take a spot on the 40 man roster?
