Dick Allen

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 04:23 PM) There's only one problem. If he was the Schmidt of the past 2 years, I'd say yes. However, he has a 5.11 era in the NL and has already had a DL stint this year. He is not, at least to this point, an outstanding starter. Obviously they will not deal for him if he isn't healthy. If he is healthy he is an ace.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) Not with his option for next year, not gonna happen. Most of this hype on both Chavez and Schmidt is Chicago media created bulls***. Chavez was definitely media created, Schmidt they have been scouting. He does have a $10.5 million option for next year with a $3 million or $3.5 buyout. If you're going to play in the World Series, 4 outstanding starters would be a huge advantage.

Walker with a 10.80 era has actually shaved more than 5 runs off his era from last season.

Its about time the offense decides to show up for a few games. 2 runs and 4 hits usually gets you a lose.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 03:39 PM) Buherle is so annoying, he hasn't been ace like all year. Always missing. 10 wins just isn't good enough for this point in the year. I'm so frustrated. You're right, a 10-1 record is unacceptable. He's stealing money from JR

Brett Boone designated for assignment by Seattle.

He still is an arbitration guy next season. He isn't a free agent until after next season I believe. If he keeps this up, his contract is going to be obscene.

DJ kept talking about the curse of Oakland, the Sox were a lock to win.

Its been a long week. I actually am supposed to have a very high math IQ.

Buerhle going tomorrow. 5 out of 6 would be a very sweet roadtrip.

Garland a career high 13th win.

Nothing like a hard liner right to a Sox fielder.

No walks please

Uribe is as streaky as they come. When he's hot he looks like a HOFer

Uribe is really struggling offensively.

Juan's got to get one of these guys in.

It turns into a great day for the Soxtalk whipping boys.

Way to shut them down Jon.

Aaron with a GIDP.

They give Pauly a gift hit. Chavez with 11 errors this season.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 2, 2005 -> 07:39 PM) Watching Garland pitch is like a breath of fresh air after watching Contreras stink up the joint yesterday. After watching Contreras last night, watching a kid pitching in Pony League would be a breath of fresh air.

Garland is cruising.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jul 2, 2005 -> 07:32 PM) I don't get to watch the Sox a lot, but has Pods been taking fewer pitches over the past few months? He's not walking as much. I think teams are realizing they are far better off making him swing the bat.

Garland's making them swing the bat. This game looks promising. Hopefully, the offense stays with their approach.

Aaron's due to catch fire pretty soon.
