This guy came up a few years ago I THINK, and it was against the Sox. I was kind of impressed, and by looking at his minor league stats, I wonder why he can't make the big league club in KC. However, I wouldn't get him saying "We got Ka'aihue for cheaper than Berkman". I'd get Ka'aihue as another guy in the system as the organization continues to attempt to rebuild the farm.

If the Sox don't add a bat, I'd like to see Castro ATLEAST be the DH more, if not get more starts at C.

The wave does indeed suck. You know what else sucks? All the $60 "authentics" that people now have. First it was football, then hockey, now their invading baseball stadiums nationally. Disgusting. Just buy the replica for $100.

I was at the game. I have a few points. 1. I loved Beckham's approach today. His HR to RF was impressive and, on any other day, the ball he lined out to CF would've went out. I hope he continues to hit the ball like he has the past few weeks. 2. Buehrle didn't have it, but man, he can always get you 5 innings even at his worst. What a player he's been for the Sox. 3. Seattle is pure garbage. 4. Extend.Putz.Now. 5. Let's keep rolling tomorrow. Minnesota gets Seattle in the Twin Cities this weekend IIRC.

SportingNews Don't know if you all saw this. If they want Hudson and Flowers for Dunn, fine with me.

When Jones and Pierre come up, give her a blindfold.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 06:19 PM) Not saying you are wrong, but I'd rather have you as a pinch hit option than Omar and Kotsay. What? Vizquel is hitting around .280.

If that's your lineup for next year- barf. Bring back PK to DH (and play some 1st) and give AJ 1 more season, unless they feel Castro and Flowers can split time.

I mentioned it in the gamethread, but why not try and acquire Pods?

Speaking of Pods, why not try and get him? I'm sick of watching Pierre, although he did get on twice today. He seems to get thrown out all the time stealing bases, and he NEVER hits the ball hard. It's pretty sickening. Vizquel Beckham Rios Konerko Quentin Pierzynski Ramirez Jones/Kotsay Pierre

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 03:00 PM) I saw a guy on ESPN Insider say Cutler and Martz are going to fail together (citing how Martz hasn't had a top 10 offense with the Rams, ignoring that Martz gets hired by teams who have s***ty offenses because they have s***ty offenses). He called Cutler the worst-ever free agent QB acquisition though. So I'm wondering why he thinks people should assume he knows what he's going to talk about. Whoever that was is a moron, for his comments especially, and for the fact that he called him a free agent acquisition.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 12:09 AM) It's nice watching the Sox beat up on teams we should beat...we should definitly fatten up our W record these upcoming series... Oakland is an average team (48-48) but by no means are they a pushover. Trevor Cahill is a stud, and Brett Anderson on Sunday will be tough.

I shared it in the NFL thread, but a friend told me- "Matthew Stafford > Jay Cutler". Yes! 2 wins and a 60 QB rating with Calvin Johnson is great! (please, don't give me the "no OL" excuse. Cutler's was equally as bad)

He's doing a signing at TTS in Mokena tomorrow, too. Speaking of which, a friend of mine tried to say he's the 4th best QB in this division? Really? Behind 2-win-60-QB-rating Matthew Stafford, too? No way. I think Cutler will have a better year in 2010 (26 TD's-17 INT's) and they'll end with 10 wins. From the sound of things, Forte looks fantastic.

From his stats today, Cust's power numbers are way down. Only 6 homers? Yikes.

Beckham, Hudson, Flowers, and Viciedo for Greinke?!!?!?!?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 11:16 PM) I don't think either team would do that. The Brewers have the bats, but are lacking in pitching and getting only Hudson doesn't help them very much. Fielder may help the DH spot, but it would hurt the Sox at the 5th starter spot and 2B. No thanks. If Beckham is included in any deal, I wouldn't mind getting Mark Ellis from Oakland to fill the 2B job. I would hope Ozzie wouldn't just hand it over to Teahen.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 11:14 AM) Wow. Had a total blast at the game. When you can only go to 1 Sox game a year it turned out to be all you'd want it to be. Superb pitching, some great defense and enough timely hitting to produce a win. Perfect. Alexi's play in the 8th was ridiculous. The most cheering from Seattle fans came when some idiot ran onto the field after the top of the ninth. I've been to Seattle 3 times and I love it. Best city in the US if you ask me. I'll probably fly up to see the series next year.

At what point does the organization give Alexei a new contract?

Woah woah woah, I haven't been on here in awhile, but I saw someone's sig- WTF happened to Steve?

Speaking of Rios- what do y'all think of putting him in the 2 spot in the lineup if KW goes out and gets LaRoche, Dunn, etc? He hasn't hit for much power as of late.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 05:10 PM) Again, it might benefit you to read everything I said. I clearly stated that Jenks is the problem. Nowhere did I say that the season was over (I think one guy has been saying that). I did say, however, that it's worrisome that they lost three in a row to the team that most agree is the real competition for the division. Then I apologize. All in all, I think we'll be fine. Jenks wasn't going to put a Gagne-like streak together of saves, and Beckham has raised his average .029 since last Friday. Oh, and again, we play Seattle 7 times in the next week and a half.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 04:50 PM) Whatever. You still think USC is a legitimate program. Look! Not only are there dopes on board now, but there are psychics. I mean, I haven't been around in like a year, but hey, he still knows what I'm thinking!

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:47 PM) I don't think you're supposed to call people names. Then stop being annoying. They're 1.5 games up on their way to face the s***ty M's.
