Come on Juan, atone for your sins...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 28, 2011 -> 02:22 PM) Do you really think he left the computer? lol. Sorry, you know I am the negativity police.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 28, 2011 -> 02:19 PM) I'm out. I've seen this happen too many times. Hopefully my absence will spur the Sox to victory. So you stay to b**** and complain when we're losing. Then we score to tie it up in the 9th and force extras, and you are leaving because you've seen this too many times. Makes perfect sense.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 28, 2011 -> 02:10 PM) THIS IS WHY YOU WALK BAUTISTA! Ahh, probably doesn't make a whole lot of a difference.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 28, 2011 -> 02:05 PM) No chance. I dunno...did you think they'd give up Feliz/Andrus/Harrison for Teixeira? Or are you saying they wouldn't now because they've learned from that mistake?

I wonder if the Braves would give us Teheran and a few single A high-ceiling guys for Danksy?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:58 PM) For the record, the Sox went on their incredible streak when shack and I started making mock bets before each series. This is true. Very true. And by the way, J4L, while I know Lawrie is raking right now, at the time of the deal, Lawrie was the 40th best prospect in baseball according to BA. I would expect more than just 1 top 40 prospect in any Danks deal. Perhaps a top 20 prospect and then a few high-ceiling guys in single A ball or something would be a nice return in my opinion.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:56 PM) That wouldn't be a smart bet by you IMO. Well I hope that would be your opinion, since you're the genius that proposed the wager.

Now all of you can get back on the bandwagon!

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:52 PM) I'm on a non gambling streak, but if I were a gambler I'd bet you $10,000 that Cleveland will finish ahead of the Sox. And I would take that bet too. Unfortunately for both of us, you're not a gambler.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:52 PM) You realize Lawrie is 20 and obliterating AAA, right? Better than him would be Bryce Harper or Mike Trout. Yep. And I see him play a bit too being that he is on the Las Vegas 51's.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:47 PM) If we lose today, I just wish you people that think "it's still early" would start to call for some heads to roll. And when the Indians collapse, and we are within 2-3 games of first with 75 to play, I just wish you would take up knitting.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:47 PM) Oh Im not saying youd get more than Danks, its just hilarious that people are acting like Jackson has no value, when he clearly could get a solid return. As for 6 ers, the last was runner left on base who scored because of a terrible decision by Ozzie and then a terrible fielding play by Pierre. Had Jackson been allowed to finish the 7th, I think we are leading. Some times its not about how many ers, its about how a pitcher looked. And if Jackson is only walking 1 batter a game, you are going to see that era/whip plummet. Just curious Badger, why can you not reply to individual posts?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:46 PM) So you think we get more than Marcum did? That would be stunning to me, but not because I don't think Danks has more value than Marcum. Yes, I think we would do better than Brett Lawrie.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:46 PM) Ironically, we need Bartolo and Garcia to get injured in order to make Danks more desired by the Yanks. No, I think to make them desire Jackson more. I think there would be plenty of teams interested in Danksy.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:43 PM) I agree. But I doubt KW can pull it off. A year and a half of Danks should fetch exactly what the Jays got for Marcum. Danks doesn't come with the injury concerns Marcum had.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:42 PM) lol Yeah Jackson wont bring any return because every staff in the league has guys better than him. Come on now, if the Sox wanted to trade Edwin, he could be gone today. Yeah, but most likely he's going to return much less than Danks would, even though I think the returns on the field would be very similar this season.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:42 PM) But you really think Boras and the Sox can work on an agreement to keep Jackson around? You know I'm with you in trading Danks. No. I mean keep Edwin around for the remainder of the season. I still think we are going to be in this division for the long haul, so I'd like to keep one of them.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:40 PM) I agree yet disagree. He didn't give us a good chance to win the game. The bats came today and he was not really good. He didn't take advantage of our offense coming to play today. A loss is a loss. So we hit and still lose. Ok you're right, Greg. He wasn't pitching with a 6-5 lead into the 7th after giving up 5 runs in the first 2 2/3.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:39 PM) You think we see him start another game? If he does, it's simply to showcase him for a trade. Who knows...but if it were me, given the potential returns, I would roll the dice on Edwin keep him around and trade Danks because we can actually get something for him. If neither are going to be around, shouldn't we trade the one that actually nets some kind of return?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:37 PM) Was it bad luck today? I see his K/BB ratio was rather good. He started off wild and ineffective, got it together as the outing went on. It wasn't a good start by any means, but he gave us a chance to win the game.

How about we just score 12 more runs and get the victory, 19-17.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:28 PM) You're ridiculous. Keep blaming Thornton when our idiot coaching staff had the 2nd baseman covering when a lefty was up. I wouldn't be shocked if Ozzie just allows Omar to do whatever the hell he wants out there.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 28, 2011 -> 12:58 PM) Wow, filthy 6th from Edwin. Yeah, I was not happy with the first few innings, but at least he settled in and gave us a chance to come back without burning through the entire bullpen.

QUOTE (Real @ May 28, 2011 -> 11:00 AM) Haha really? Please, tell me what you were trying to accomplish with your "Interesting you were the one to point it out" comment other than to stir up s***? Why post that instead of something relevant to the topic? I can see right through your juvenile attempts at baiting, get lost unless you wanna talk baseball If my purpose was to bait you, it's fairly difficult to say that it didn't work. However, my purpose was to point out to you that you post so much nonsense that no one takes you seriously. I don't think I've ever seen you post anything other than some doom and gloom nonsense. I guess I'm just curious why you feel as though you have to be the Grim Reaper every day?
