Does that seem reasonable for a team with nobody hitting above .280 and Dustin Hermanson as their closer?" Scotty is hitting .294...hmmm The "Rob Neyer School of Research"

Pretty Woman... I never thought they would get together... Seriously... Seven packed a punch! Psycho Chinatown. Plus the David Mamet thrillers: House of Games & The Spanish Prisoner!

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 10:05 AM) Heres why I want to trade him= That was the first 5 hit game of his career, it was a fluke. Secondly, he is hitting under what we would expect a cleanup hitter to hit, he grounds into too many DP's, clogs up the bases, and strikes out too much. His FA contract is going to make him one if not the highest paid player on the team, and I for one, do not think he is worth that much. I am all for trading him right now, I think we can get Huff from TB to play 1st base and if not, Gload is a viable option. If not, Dye can play 1st and Carla can fill in the OF. I just think Kong is over valued, and I do not think we are pursuing him in the offseason. There is a reason they havent re-signed im yet, and his value will not match his price tag. Ummm...Looks like you did.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 10:41 AM) Head up, Jimbo. The reason the Sox are winning (and winning so often I may add ) this season is largely in part to modeling the team after the back-to-back-to-back AL Central Divison champs from up North. I concur. I think the reason the Twins are haveing trouble this year is that they went away from their formula. Not as many hit & runs, SB are down, Strikeouts are up. Still...I'm not counting the Twins out until our Magic number is 0.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 03:08 PM) Garland & Buehrle may be flipped according to Ozzie. It depends on how they're used in the All-Star Game. El Duque is scheduled for July 18 v. Detroit (Magg$ return to Chicago). That's if Maggs doens't get hurt...

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 03:01 PM) You shouldnt have made your MVP comment then, dont dish if you cant take it. As far as drastic changes, adding another player, is not drastic. We arent subtracting anyone from our major league lineup, and just adding another players. If that is radical, I guess we should be watching for some serious radical trades coming in the future. I mean, no championship team adds players, well, then again, there was last year...... First. I was not dishing anything. Sorry if you are sensitive to criticism. I have stated in numerous threads that there is a MVP Baseball mentality lately when theorizing on what the Sox need to do to win. This, to me, was another example. I'm sorry...but trading your Number #1 RBI guy mid-season and replacing him with Huff is radical.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 02:08 PM) Great imformative post and all, but you make no sense. Cant do what in real life? Are you speaking of trading for someone who is on the trading block, or moving players? Because as of right now, your post stands at status=spam That specifically. You cannot make such radical changes to a team on a championship run. By the way, there was no need to be insulting.

QUOTE(soxhawks @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 07:57 PM) maybe if we don't resign konerko, dye or everett could move to first. just a thought You can do this in MVP Baseball 2005 not in real life...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 11:47 AM) It was awesome to see Sox fans come together and work so hard to win that. Yeah... Now go screw yourself!

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 09:59 PM) Haven't seen the flick. Hopefully, Kaz Tadano of the Indians doesn't make an appearance. Zing!

When did they find the time? Scotty and Gooch's Summer Comedy! I thought after this weekend we'd need a good laugh.

I wonder if Zach Day then will be packaged to another team for a legit starter, so the Sox can hold on to McCarthy.

If we only listened to them...

It would coincide with a regular side session for Mark. The he starts Friday against Cleveland.

Awww... Couldn't we get Scott Podsednik's girlfriend in the shower instead?!?

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 09:51 AM) Yes I do, I meant as a replacement for Hallady. Gzus. When was he named a replacement?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 12:16 PM) Not making any changes for chemistry was also what the 2002 Anaheim Angels did. And look at all the changes the 2003 Marlins made... It's not changing that ruins chemistry, but WHO you bring in. I am not an advocate of Schmidt by any means, but his start against the Cards will be a true test to see where he is this year.

From today's Jerry Crasnick's chat on ESPN.com On a side note... Jason Schmidt will be starting tonight against the St. Louis Cardinals.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 11:49 AM) Bush ends investigation of Micheal Schiavo. Hopefully it's over now. . . Gov. Jeb Bush Ends Schiavo Inquiry By DAVID ROYSE, Associated Press Writer Fri Jul 8, 4:19 AM ET TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Gov. Jeb Bush has declared an end to the state's inquiry into Terri Schiavo's collapse 15 years ago, after Florida's state attorney said there was no evidence that criminal activity was involved. Bush had asked State Attorney Bernie McCabe to investigate Schiavo's case after her autopsy last month. He said he now considers the state's involvement with the matter finished. "Based on your conclusions, I will follow your recommendation that the inquiry by the state be closed," Bush said in a two-sentence letter. In asking McCabe to look again into how Schiavo slipped into a persistent vegetative state, Bush had cited an alleged gap between when Schiavo's husband Michael found her and when he called 911. The governor had said the issue remained unsettled. McCabe said, however, that while such discrepancies may exist in the record, Schiavo's statements that he called 911 immediately had been consistent. "This consistency, coupled with the varying recollections of the precise time offered by other interested parties, lead me to the conclusion that such discrepancies are not indicative of criminal activity," McCabe wrote in a letter to Bush accompanying his report. The report was dated June 30, but not released until Thursday. The bitter right-to-die case engulfed the courts, Congress and White House, and divided the country. Terri Schiavo died March 31 from dehydration after her feeding tube was disconnected despite efforts by Bush, her parents and some state national lawmakers to keep her alive. Michael Schiavo had fought to have the tube disconnected, saying his wife wouldn't have wanted to be kept alive artificially. The autopsy left unanswered the question of why Terri Schiavo's temporarily heart stopped, cutting off oxygen to her brain. A medical examiner was unable to determine with reasonable certainty a "manner of death." McCabe said there must be some fact or evidence indicating a criminal act caused the death to open a full homicide investigation. He said the review revealed none. He added that the most likely cause of Schiavo's collapse remains the one already advanced — an eating disorder. David Gibbs, attorney for Schiavo's parents, said the report appeared rushed, noting that Bob and Mary Schindler were not interviewed by the state attorney's office. "We had thought they would meet with the family," he said. Michael Schiavo's attorney deferred comment until he had a chance to fully review the report. Maybe...Finally...The Politians will let her rest in peace.
