QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 08:18 PM) They could do what the Astros did when they got Tejada. Something like C.C. for Murton, Hill, Ceda, Veal, Colvin I could see Vitters, Murton, Pie, and Gallagher for Sabathia, and then Marshall for Byrd.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 08:17 PM) Cubs got no one to trade for him. They got big hype prospect who have proven nothing. He ain't going to the Cubs unless they give up Vitters + more and they ain't giving up Vitters who is having issues in the minors. I think the Cubs will just go out and get a guy like Paul Byrd from the Indians, a vet, and in the offseason, sign Sabathia.

Wow, we threw one in on Aramis.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 08:11 PM) Do the Phillies have anyone to even offer? In many ways, I hope the Indians stay close enough to the pack in the AL Central so they don't give up C.C. I'd actually hope they do give him up, for the Sox sake in the future- as long as it's not to the Cubs. I know Philly has this Carrasco guy. He's 20, SP, and is probably their best prospect.

Shucks, too bad we couldn't get Jim "4-3 ground out" Thome up, we'd really have a shot to get back in the game then.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 08:08 PM) I seriously can't wait till the Cubs roll over and die in the playoffs so I can beat Cubs fans down. If the Cubs get Sabathia, nobody will stop them until maybe the Red Sox, and even they couldn't if NL gets home-field. Now, if the Phils get Sabathia, the Cubs will go down to them in the NLCS in 4.

Where was this Friday and yesterday? Now that's baseball.

I thought Swisher was supposed to hustle like there was no tomorrow?

I find it hard to think we'll score even now.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 08:03 PM) My mental health would be so much better if baseball didn't exist.

O/U- 1 run for the Sox this game on something other then a home run.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 08:59 PM) I noticed that 7 game trip at Twins/Tigers. That could be the make or break point of the season. I think if we can split the Twins series and win 2 in DET, we'll be fine. If we play like we did these past 3 games, we'll be lucky to win 1 game during that span of 7.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 08:57 PM) How's our strength of schedule after the ASB? I know we've played the Angels a lot, but we still have a lot of games against Boston. On the other hand, we have a ton of games against the Royals. I know the 2 series's leading up to the ASB are @ KC and @ TEX, and I know the 2 series's following the ASB are KC and TEX. Then I think we go to MIN then DET (or is that vice versa).

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 08:55 PM) Please don't put Vazquez out there....he's thrown enough pitches over the course of the game right over the plate as it is. Fixed.

I don't get why we're all worked up. I've been told a loss is fine even if we're still in first and even if it's vs. the Cubs.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 08:46 PM) At least the draft on Thursday will preoccupy things. Amen. I hope we take Rose, and then put together a package with Hinrich, Gordon, and TT for Brand. QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 08:46 PM) Be careful, I got yelled at for saying I hoped Soriano's hand was broke so he'd miss our series. So was I.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 08:43 PM) hey guys, today my high school was down 5-0 to the cross town rivals and won the game 9-8, we can do the same thing, haha. Yeah, dude!!

Just a loss. It's fine. 1.5 games in front after being 6.5 2 weeks ago is totally cool.

OC AJ Q Dye Swish Crede Wise Lexi Javy

Down to 2. It's fine guys, losing these past 2 games haven't been so bad.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 01:46 AM) Didn't AJ hit that 3 run homer in the 9th against Dempster to get the lead and then those low-life cubs fans trashed the field with garbage? Also, didn't Ross Gload begin that rally with a 2 out single as well? 1st part- yes. 2nd part- not sure

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2008 -> 11:56 PM) You posters who know your stats, you know who you are. How does this pitching matchup shape up? Is Vas capable of shutting down these assholes on Sunday night? Can we hit Dumpster? Vazquez has a 4.8 ERA lifetime against CHC, Dumpster has a 3.8 ERA lifetime against us.

Vazquez vs Dumpster @ The Dump Avoid the sweep, please.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 21, 2008 -> 09:10 PM) Why are the Diamondbacks failing us??? WHY? If we would have just won our damn game earlier, we wouldn't have to worry about the Twins.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Jun 21, 2008 -> 09:04 PM) Penguins offer Hossa 7 years 49 mil, he says he will test the market and then decide if he will stay with the Penguins. Interesting offer for him I heard that they offered him 7/50 the other day.
