GREEDY

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 06:36 PM) I'd love to get B.J. Upton. If they could instill a work ethic in the kid, you've got the best defensive OF in the majors. You can't fix stupid.

it's black and white

Jose Lopez Plugs either 2B or 3B nicely. A superstar defensive third basemen and a + second basemen. Offensively his approach is very comparable to Alexei (which isn't optimal) but is due to get hot (he has struggled in '10) and would fit nicely into a lineup full of streaky free swingers. He turns 27 in November.

QUOTE (spiderman @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 10:04 PM) Hopefully, he plays primarily at DH, and only some at 3B. I would hope that Vizquel would get 4 to 5 games a week right now at 3B, Viceido the rest so that they don't run Vizquel into the ground. I see comments like this all the time about other players/situations so I don't mean just ot pick on you. BUT How is Viciedo EVER plaing at 3B acceptable? If he sucks defensively, he sucks defensively. "Well, Player X can't get the job done defensively at 3B so we will just platoon him out there". I never understood this train of thought.

Are we wondering where Hudson will land or how to land in the Hudson?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 08:25 PM) Well, we would ask what exactly is causing the fluid BP

I've loved Iwamura for a long time.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 10:52 PM) He's batting .286 with a .995 OPS with runners in scoring position. And he improved that tonight. He has sucked, but also, he has kind of not sucked. I am sure someone smarter than me will explain that he is changing his approach with ducks on the pond. I also will venture to speculate that he might inch closer to the plate with runners in scoring positon because he figures there will be less of a chance of getting plunked. But if you figure in his defensive play none of this matters because his ass should already be on the DL or a two seater bound for Charlotte.

I vote for a picture of the lineup card where Vizquel started at DH. That sums up the season for me.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 08:46 PM) We are winning now....keep the team in PITTSBURGH and we are now the favorites to win the division. Fixed it for you

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 10:00 PM) Fluid in his shoulder. sand in his ..........

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 09:09 PM) Pirate errors!! You mean Pirate arrors!!

Vacay hotspot.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 06:46 PM) How can anyone say something is KW's worst move if they're not talking about Nick Swisher? BTW, Betemit has contributed more to KC in 3 games than he did all last year for the Sox. Because Nick Swisher could play the position he was acquired to play.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 05:24 PM) Anyone who thought Mark Teahen should go back to being a full-time 3B in the AL should be fired on the spot. Great post. KW's worst move ever IMHO. Best case scenario you have a bad defender that gives you 18/75/.800, which should be the absolute floor for an AL corner infielder. Worst case scenario is the worst defensive everyday player in baseball, and a lefty that should be in a bad LF platoon in the NL West.

I'll bet the Phillies.

Are there blackout restrictions on MLB tv? I live close enough to The Cell to get blacked out on MLB Extra Innings (they also blackout the Cubs, Cards and Brewers) but not close enough to get WCIU. Does anyone know if I will be able to watch the Sox live on WCIU via MLB.TV? TIA

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 30, 2010 -> 03:48 PM) Pena needs to deliver here, heart of the order for Rays. Which Pena?

If Konerko requires roughly a two year / twenty million dollar deal to return; there won't be more than a handfull of first basemen that I wouldn't rather have. Do I think he will be back? Yes. Should he be back at anywhere near that price? No.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 30, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) Bad base running by Omar, he's caught halfway home. You are clueless.

That is twice Tampa has pitched out against Juan with Omar in motion. Ozzie is getting out-managed in a big way.

Please give it to someone that is under team control; anoint Putz the closer and if he succeeds you owe him 6-10 million for 2011.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 23, 2010 -> 11:16 PM) What about that ending was open to interpretation? They all died at some point and then at the end once they remembered their real lives and reconnected with the others from the island they passed on. The entire thing just feels like a giant cop out to me. Easy, No direct explanation of what the island's purpose was. No direct explanation of was this just "Jack's Life"? No direct explanation of why some were in the church and some were not. No direct explanation of the reasoning behind showing the plane's wreckage during the credits. I could go on and on.
