MO2005

This series is going 5 in my eyes! The energy at the cell is awesome and this team is just a different team at home. If we can force a game 5, the Rays could tumble...

Red Sox vs. Rays ALCS I want the sox to win, but this would still be a 7 game ALCS and a hell of a good one!

See I wouldn't trade Swisher because we need someone who can draw some walks, make the pitcher throw more pitches, etc. etc. There are too many players on this team that cannot draw a walk and swing at crap pitches! This team can't execute so you better damn believe that Kenny is going to get some guys that can get the job done! I am tired of seeing Uribe strikeout in crucial situations, OC can't hit with runners on, hell the whole damn team can't. But if you get some guys that can, it changes the whole dimension of this team and we are a contender next year. Can you imagine this lineup? 2B Roberts CF Crisp LF Quentin RF Dye DH Thome C Pierzynski 3B Blake SS Ramirez 1B Swisher

I will be in the upper deck like 538. I don't know about anyone else on this site, but I am ready for payback with those twins fans last week at the metrodome. I am seeing them on the street on state and washington, just getting fired up to rip into them at the game. Stretch your legs cause there will be a lot of standing in this one! I was thinking IF they win this one, who would like to hear a little don't stop believin?? Bring it Back!! GO SOX!! Who else is going?

I don't understand it either...2005 we had this grinder, get to your head type of approach like the Twins do..Podsednik leads off with a walk or single..Iguchi moves him over...Then Dye or Rowand would get him in...We had great execution in 2005 because we got to the pitcher's head and had good pitches to hit..Remember in 2005 we had like that unbelievable start with scoring first and winning remember? Guillen was in his 2nd year and I'm not saying he is not doing a good job now, but he has become just an a**hole..His Mike North Show vent, the Jay Mariotti thing, the Sean Tracey meltdown, etc. etc. I know it was funny and entertaining, but I remember in 2006 after that Mariotti thing was when the Whitesox fell apart. They were like 30 over .500, then tumbled to the finish line. In my opinion going out on a limb, we have to get rid of Guillen (which won't happen), trade Konerko, Fields (we don't need another guy in the lineup who will strikeout 150 a year), let Griffey walk, and trade Vazquez. The Sox have like the fifth largest payroll so instead of paying these old guys, pay for some guys who are feared! Get a manager in here that is hardnosed, but like Gardenhire, is respected. I don't think a lot of players respect him the way other managers like Francona, Torre, LaRussa, etc are respected. Trade Konerko and Fields for Figgins, then sign him to a deal to lead off and play 3rd. Sign Hudson or someone with some patience at the plate to play 2nd. Move Ramirez to SS. In center field I go with BA because of his great defense. Then give everything we got to spend this summer on CC Sabathia (longshot)...A guy who goes out every fifth day and we know can win us a game like yesterday. The bullpen was good the first half because our starters were also pitching well, then they imploded because our starters gave up runs and the pressure was put on them! Lineup next year looks like this: Figgins Hudson Quentin Dye Thome Swisher Pierzynski Anderson Ramirez This kind of has the same taste as 05 but probably a more finesse team. The only big strikeout guys are dye, thome, anderson...3 versus the 6-7 we have now in the lineup... Speed at the bottom...then keep Owens, Wise..Getz..utility for speed..this team would be a 95 win team..giving the confidence to the pitching knowing we can manufacture runs!

Let's pop the cork on the champaign baby!! It's not over!! There's a sign

Gomez is a cocky Son of a b****!!! His stupid facial expressions tick me off and when he screams he looks mentally challenged!! No Offense to anyone...All I am going to say is come to our house and I will guarantee he'll get beer spilled on his a**!!!

I haven't heard anyone mention signing Shannon Stewart...This guy played 155 games last year, was injury free, let the A's in hitting, and was their best offensive threat last year. This guy has always been a pain in the butt to the Sox and also the Central. We could get him at a pretty good 1-2 year deal. This would be an improvement and we would have a pretty solid leadoff hitter, what do you guys think?
