QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 11:40 AM) The O's reeling already. This just might finish them off. MLB's way of insuring NY & Boston make the playoffs? The O's are done. Their starting pitching is just horrible right now. They haven't gotten 5 IP out of a starter in over two weeks.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 11:29 AM) I get the feeling if anyone else said that people wouldn't care. ^^ Exactly. What is Willie supposed to say... Damn I had a good run, but I am soooo done now.??? Come on.

I wonder if purjury is on Palmeiro's plate now?

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 10:01 AM) From Scott Reifert's blog: I can see giving Gooch a day off. But why two days in a row for Scotty? QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 10:02 AM) I'm not too worried about it. Just trying to give his legs a rest. He's been in a mini-SB slump of late, and we don't have many off-days in the near future. We need to keep his legs as fresh as possible, so he can do what he does best. They did also mention that Pods was getting treatment during the game, as was Iguchi after his HBP. He might have a small nagging leg injury from the sounds of it.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 09:46 AM) That first half wasn't from Greg. That was from Soxfest, the disgruntled one. Greg just likes to C&P the quotes he wants in that style for some reason. Ah, gotcha... I should have known. Mr negative one-liner.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 10:40 PM) Ho hum we got Blum.......................tell me again KW how we will get any player and have the ability to increase payroll to help win a world series, talk more BS KW Sox fans no longer buy it. I used to rip KW but all of his offseason moves have been great. I trust him right now. I'm glad he didn't trade McCarthy and that good minor league outfielder for somebody like Randa, etc. We still are 30-plus over .500 thanks in large part to KW and Ozz. This wasn't about payroll, it was about the ridiculous prices that people were asking for their players. Think of it this way, just because you have an extra $20 and are thirsty for a coke, doesn't mean you would be willing to spend the whole $20 on that one coke.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 05:42 PM) Lets see if you feel the same if they lose in first round SS2K. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 05:50 PM) So what would you have done of the deals that were out there? Lets here you actually expound on a though instead of giving us the usual negative one liner. Would you have sent McCarthy, Contreras, and Marte for Lowell and Burnett? Would you have required a resigning of Burnett as a part of the deal? Who would have been your next started if and when Hernandez got hurt? Would you have sent McCarthy, Anderson, and Contreras for Schmidt? If so would you have exsized his 2006 option at $10.5 million? And once again who would be your emergency starter if either Schmidt or Hernandez got hurt? If neither of those deals what would you have done? Who would you have gotten and who would you have given up? Just so you know... your silence speaks volumes.

QUOTE(Beastly @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 06:36 PM) Why, because he posts here and you guys kiss his ass constantly? It couldn't have anything to do with the fact that Bajenaru's ERA is over 4 f***ING RUNS LESS THAN ADKINS could it? :headshake

Konerko flies out to the foul pole. Two down.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 07:18 PM) They work in unison.... Exactly. I have been saying this ever since Tads average fell as Pods made his run to .300. Also interesting to note from Phillips, the Sox have the 3rd least GIDP in all of baseball.

for these guys. I read this on Chisox.com earlier and was going to post it, glad to see someone else got it.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 07:03 PM) To extropolate on Ian's sig quote: Soxtalk seems to be home of the GMs who never make bad trades ever and are totally perfect. Just ask 'em! I guess people need reminding of "My boy Olivo" being called a Hall of Famer from the year previous. f***ing kneejerk reactionaries. Too many teams saw themselves as contenders and the market was s*** so KW did what he could to upgrade the team. Blum is an asset defensively off the bench and he's currently got a higher OBP than Crede and is just .014 points below Crede in batting average. I'm happy that we got more bench help with a versatile player for a prospect -- and I think Olivo proves that we'll never know how prospects will pan out. Yes, it'd be nice to get another lefty reliever but the market was s***. No other team made a huge splash unless you consider Matt Lawton the trade that will catapault your team into the playoffs Christ, if I didn't know better, I would think that the Sox had a white flag sale & weren't 14 games up in the Central right now with the way some of the Chicken Littles are acting. I think with some of the people here on Soxtalk -- if KW walked on water they'd b****, piss and moan about him not being able to swim. My anti-American Hero

Anyone else notice that as Pods has hit a semi slump, that Iguchi's average is pumping up again?

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 07:00 PM) What a waste of time Bunch of hype about NOTHING .... Why are you looking in here then??? QUOTE(knightni @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 07:07 PM) Sounds like a T-Shirt. "We posted 10,000 times and all we got was this lousy bench player." Or 35,000 in some cases...

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 06:01 PM) Could you imagine the outrage on here if that would have been Willie that made that error against the Royals, and not Gload? I never understood why everyone said Gload was the best defensive 1b ever. Yes, he didn't have the chance to prove himself. However, he never did anything that made me think we had another J.T. Snow on our hands. And Baj had his chance last year, and he failed. Yes, it sucks for him. Howeve,r it's clear the organization doesn't think highly of him. 8.1 IP is not a chance.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 05:57 PM) someone on the bench that can actually play 3b = upgrade. It also gives us a decent short term starter if the Sox feel they need to give Crede a 15 day DL stint to ready him for the playoffs. Ozuna would have been a disaster.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:58 PM) Nothing was learned from 2000 and JR pocket more money from attendance and act like you want to go for it. This is not what Sox fans have been promised. This is so ignorant. Open your eyes and see that NO ONE made a big move. This speaks volumes to how overpriced the market is. Any major move we would have been made would have cost us multiple starters on this team, and that would have been just stupid.
