Jose Paniauga to be signed August 15th!!
I actually agree with you most of the time, but this one is too obvious. I have no idea why anyone would get excited about this guy.

He blows. He got released by Detroit, and could make Tampa Bay this spring. I hope this report is wrong.

One reason KC is in first and we aren't
KW and JR were both working the phones a lot during yesterday's game. Don't know what it means but they know they need some bullpen help. At the end of the game Tuesday, JR was watching with both hands on top his head. He was not too confident of the bullpen.

Tough stretch for Royals
The Royals are toast, worry about the Twins.

Attendance since break
There was a note on the scoreboard yesterday that the Sox have been averaging over 30,000 their last 17 home dates.

Joe Posanski...Send him a message!
Actually, the Sox haven't won a post game series since that guy Pants was running the team. In 1959 there were no divisions, whoever came in first was the AL champion. This guy referred to the Sox going out of business sale, aka white flag trades, yearly and how its nice we won't have to see that this year. Why doesn't he mentioned how nice it was that the Royals won't be trading their top players at the deadline. Dye, Damon, Appier were all recent deadline trades. They almost traded Beltran this year while they were in first place.KC is a cowtown with cowtown sportswriters. This guy needs some space in the Streetwise.

Ever notice Sutcliffe cuts the last word off of every sentence he ever speaks. He gets it about halfway out then starts the next sentence.

Roberto doesn't like to play day games after night games. I'm thinking a couple of these guys have played 2 straight games. JM is going to have to give them some rest. Maybe have Harris lead off . I'd like to see Ginter in the game and Schoenweiss. Daubach should give Magglio a rest in right. Maybe they could get Danny Wright an inning or two as well. Koch should close today if the Sox have the lead. JM has to build the confidence of these 6 players. JM is a dope.

Who should be the 5th starter?
I say bring back Jim Parque
-
Deal close with...
He sucked in Detroit last year, got waived by Tampa in spring training. It would be a miracle if he added anything to this team. Even his one decent season 2000 he had 52 walks in 77 innings. Since he throws in the low 90's, his performance may be Kochesque.

Tony Pena
I find it hard to believe he told him to hit Frank. When he went back in the dugout, I was watching him and he was motioning to the catcher to pitch inside. Pena thought the reason the Sox lit up the Royals in KC was because their pitchers refused to throw inside. Once beanballs start, and warnings are issued, you can't pitch inside anymore, see Matt Ginter, and his pitchers would get lit up some more. If he did order his guy to hit Frank, and he admitted it, he should be suspended, but I really doubt he did. Pena is a pretty good motivator, and I think he was urging his guy to go after Frank, and not be intimidated.

Appier works out for the Royals
He supposedly might start Wednesday against the Sox. I hope he does. The results of an MRI on his elbow will determine if KC signs him or he sits out the rest of the year.
-
Anyone else notice?
Jose Valentin is the most overrated player on the Sox. He's hitting .233. Granted he had a big game with 3 hrs in KC, but other than that, he has been pretty brutal. His defense, while improved, still is below average. This guy made a reputation on his being a leader and fans give him way more slack than any other player. The Sox don't have any options at SS other than him, although I hope upper management makes it a top priority in the offseason.

Anyone else notice?
Jose is a terrible shortstop, no question about it. Its just something we have to live with, to keep him and his .230 batting average in the lineup.
