QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 02:25 AM) Freddy had better drill one of the A'ss players tomorrow. It was obvious that the HBP by Harden was completely intentional. I thought Carl was going to go kick his ass for it too. He sure had a lot to say to whoever would listen after he got hit. But on the other hand, Harden did his business like a pro. He didn't headhunt Carl, instead he plunked him in the middle section of his body, and didn't give him that 97 mph fastball to do it with.

Isn't that a variation of the old Tommy Lasorda you win a third, you lose a third, and what you do with the final third is what matters?

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 07:52 AM) Was DJ being serious? Sounded like it to me...

QUOTE(Al Lopez's Ghost @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 05:45 AM) I think it would be wise to split up El Duque and Contreras. Having them back to back has worn down the bullpen in their consecutive days, and then the other 3 are going 7 innings or so pretty regularly. With days off on Thursday and Monday, now would be a good time to make this adjustment. I think that is a pretty darned good idea actually. Especially with Garland now working deep into games. I guess we will have to wait and see whether Jose is healthy or not to see if we even could do this.

The funny part was last night when DJ was saying how AJ screamed like a girl as Hermy drained the toe...

Damn it even if we lose tommorrow we would have just went 6-2 on a roadtrip and would be 16-6 overall. If you would have told me that 4 weeks ago, I would have laughed in your face. Especially if I would have heard what Konerko, Dye, and Rowand were hitting.

Just a post to remember some of this great run by the Sox, from Gettysburg32

This was in the Trib today FWIW

Damn the lego reenactment was hilarious.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 02:15 PM) Politte for Walker and Nomar with the Cubs eating most of their salary. Throw in Mike Sirotka and its a deal...

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 02:16 PM) 13 million a year for garcia? Judging by what mediocre pitchers like Clement and Benson got, I think so. He would have been a number one target of either the Mets, Yankees, and/or the Red Sox, which means a bidding war.

That's great. They either just admitted they suck, or that they were lazy on Noc. Quality bunch of guys those Wizards...

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 02:12 PM) I also don't think the Cubs would be willing to give him or Alex Pie up. Probably David Kelton if anyone. I don't know what we really need now. I think KW should wait until at least June to look at a trade. We don't need any OF prospects, as we are loaded with them right now. It would have to be a pitching prospect, an infield prospect, or a catching prospect.

QUOTE(quickman @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 02:05 PM) No Jim, its the other right button.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 01:50 PM) Wow. No s***! I have NEVER heard that about the Sox. That means things are changing. Its Ozzie. We got one of the potentially best free agent pitchers to come here for 3 years at $9 million a year. If Garcia would have hit the free agent market he would have gotten at least around the money that Pedro got, with maybe an extra year. The Yankees and Red Sox would have been creaming themselves for the guy. We also got Orlando Hernandez, Dustin Hermanson and AJ to come here without overpaying for any of them. Heck Hermanson signed here, and within a month was trying to talk AJ into playing for the Sox. We aren't the Detroit Tigers who have to pay a premium to get the attention of a player. Ozzie has a lot of friends out there, and they want to play for him.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 11:25 AM) Now what is he going to spend his time analyzing? Maybe the Sox, since he is a on Sox fan board and all

Just goes to show that you can't rollerskate in a buffalo herd (bonus points for the artist of that song, without Googling)

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 11:12 AM) Nahh I won't do anything yet unless he gives me reason to. He knows we are watching him now. I hope he isn't stupid to try anything but one never knows. If this guy is that sick, it might not be whether he is stupid or not, he might not be able to control himself. Definately keep an eye on this dude and your kids. Good luck EJ.

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 11:04 AM) Outstanding and I thank you. That's the picture. Actually the shirt is for my dad, he gets a kick out of Politte. Not a bad idea on the quickman suggestion though ... hmmm. So the best way is to save the image to my hard drive? And then? Take your cursor over the pic, right click it, then "save picture as" and give it a name.
