If we're going to be asses and call it an undefeated streak, it's a lot longer than 17. What is it? 25? 26? Something like that?

QUOTE(beck72 @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 08:01 PM) Well said! Pin this post for anyone who questions why a trade is necessary. Or we could just play a tape of tonight's game...

The last 6-12 hook I saw was thrown by Sidd Finch. Then again, he threw it at about 103 mph.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 04:37 PM) How many tools does Anderson have again? Four.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 04:04 PM) Funny, on another board I just saw a Mariners' fan propose this deal: Garcia for Reed, Soriano, and Everett. Soriano is a stud...And Baseball Prospectus told me that Reed is teh bestest prospect EVAR!!!

QUOTE(Damen @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 04:16 PM) I don't see the Sox calling up a knuckleballer to be a relief pitcher. Don't automatically dismiss it. See Wilhelm, Hoyt; Best Relief Pitcher Ever© (No, I don't think Charlie Haeger is Hoyt Wilhelm; I'm just saying that there's nothing wrong with a knuckler in the pen)

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 12:14 PM) Anything worthy of repeating? Some stupid bastard caller just brought up Rowand. *gag*

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 11:33 AM) Pretty odd with out a leadoff hitter. Lots of SBs does not a leadoff hitter make. Look at Kevin Youkilis. It's all about the OBP. Iguchi at leadoff wouldn't be a significant downgrade from Podsednik. Neither would Milledge version 2007, in all likelihood.

QUOTE(beautox @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 11:28 AM) Also Hermanson is going to continue his rehab, hes been solid down at AAA 3 IP, 3 BB. Solidly s***ty.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 11:09 AM) Does anyone else sit here and think that a guy who pitches 200+ innings at around age 30 is more valuable than a guy who might pitch 70 inning and is around age 40, even considering contract disparities? I'm younger than 30 and could pitch over 200 innings a year. That doesn't make me worth more than Tom Gordon. Come to think of it, my fastball isn't much slower than Freddy's...

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 11:15 AM) Tom Gordon is too old to be worth one of our starters... He may be old and all, but he still throws harder and with better location than Freddy...

God, I hope we see Freddy shipped off soon... 85-88 mph fastball = batting practice fastball

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 10:59 AM) I thought both Garcia and Vazquez would be leaving. My impression of what Kenny is trying to do is trade for two bullpen arms. No. If Kenny did that, he'd be every bit the idiot Billy Beane calls him. That'd be ridiculous. If it happened, he'd have to make sure that the trade included someone who could wipe the drool off of his chin and tie his shoes for him. Everything has said one or the other, as it should be.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 10:55 AM) The real key to this is who would be our 5th starter? I wouldn't mind Brett Myers, even though he did what he did. At least a Gavin Floyd. What's Randy Wolf doing these days? See...We've got this kid named McCarthy...

QUOTE(whitesoxin @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 10:19 AM) Please tell me Garcia/Vazquez are worth more than this. I'm assuming a midlevel prospect or two would be included. i.e.- A Sean Tracey type (as much as I despise calling old-man Tracey a prospect).

If it's Garcia for Burke + Qualls, I say yippee! If it's something like Mack + Garcia, I say BOOOOO!

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 09:56 AM) Its on MLBTradeRumors. Consider it dead. Since MLBTradeRumors.com is always 100% wrong, I must now assume that we are trading McCarthy for Lima. I hate that stupid site.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 10:12 AM) It sounds good. With so many teams in need of SP, the sox should get a really good deal on Freddy [better than Olivo, Reed and Morse .] that fills the sox need this yr and something for the future. Nothing is better than Jeremy Reed. We gave up Reed? Oh, my God! We have no future! Boooooooooooooo!

Where would he play? Seriously, though...Does that make Jenks the closer or Gordon the closer? It makes sense if Gordon were to be traded off at the end of the season, after using him for just the second half and the playoffs. He's getting too old to keep around with that contract.

For the folks that were arguing about what we're paying Javy... Arizona is paying 5 mil of the 24 mil left on Javy's contract. The remainder of the money from the Yankees...They get to keep. We're paying Javy 19 mil for 06 and 07. You guys have to pay more attention when these things go down.

For your reading pleasure... Yes, ESPN hates the s*** out of Bobby Jenks. Yet another reason for us to hate the s*** out of ESPN.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 10:00 PM) Cause you make it personal like you know what I was asking for. Just put me on ignore and stfu and you won't have to worry about anything. You're even more of a jagbag than the guy you were arguing with 20 pages ago. Just stop, eh?

QUOTE(Sox It To Em @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 09:52 PM) Time for a seven run eighth (A man can dream, can't he?). Who knows what can happen with Jim Thome wreaking havoc on the basepaths? That kind of speed will rattle any pitcher.

Here's a 6-year old Paul Konerko holding a catcher's mask...Classic. How do you green a picture?

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 09:43 PM) Why the green? Thats true.. I greened it because I felt that the timing of my statement carried the implication that Konerko should catch.
