QUOTE (Texsox @ Jul 4, 2008 -> 07:32 AM) Or how much they thought we thought of Loaiza. I think yours is closer, but do not estimate the chances of finding a GM who is over valuing someone in your system. OR how much we thought they thought we thought they thought of Uribe.

I want a chevy volt instead. Target of $30,000 in 2010. (will probably end up being $40,00)

I think he'll come back hot. I want him back.

So what does that say? He leaves it out over the plate for the first guy in the ninth. Not good. Or maybe its just bad luck.

I fully expected linebrink to fail. I don't like him at all in the ninth. Love him in the eighth though.

This is the crappiest thread I've ever seen. What a defeatist attitude you have.

Can I have a little background on what this has to do with Kurkjian? Does he hate the sox or something? Think they can't win against good pitching?

How many years do we think OC will want?

I can think of some football parallels. Tom Brady is one. I think Brett Farve is another.

Unfortunately I don't think he will get that shot here, unless someone gets hurt long term. That would also be unfortunate.

For example: I know for a fact that I am an idiot. So there is at least one retard here.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 09:53 AM) I have conflicting opinions with a lot of the posters here from time to time. Just because I happen to disagree with them doesn't mean they are dumb. Sometimes, smart people have dumb opinions. And to be honest, anyone that spends much time here and puts forth opinions ends up having to eat their words, eventually. I agree with all of that. Sometimes they really are dumb though.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 09:47 AM) ... so did i... That he got fired because he is black, not because the mets sucked?

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 04:52 AM) I vehemently disagree with you. There are some passionate and over reactive fans on here. But there is a huge amount of good baseball knowledge being shared on this site by some very astute baseball fans. Yeah but I think you get the other extreme as well. I guess what I'm saying is, there are some really dumb fans here. I'm not saying generally, the fans here are dumb.

Maybe my perspective is wrong, but I'm not intentionally blowing it out of proportion. Every time I've heard him speak outside of the booth he has said something racially motivated. Most recently he agreed with willie randolph.

I disagree completely. I think he is obsessed with race, judging from hearing him speak.

QUOTE (retro1983hat @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 10:07 PM) I would love to eat those words. I am also a realist and position by position we are not the better team. I love the Sox, but I want the team as pissed as I was Sunday night. They crapped down their legs this weekend. So, how do they taste?

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 06:53 AM) What does that have to do with anything? We don't have any black guys in our bullpen so I am surprised he said that. It makes a lot of sense, and isn't very hard to deduce.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 02:52 AM) What are you talking about? I wouldn't do that deal in the first place. I'm just pondering what the offense would like like + Figgins and - Thome, EDIT: As far as Crede's defense, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, he's a stud, but he is having a terrible year this season. But that's just my opinion. Then again, I'm not too bright. hahaha. Neither am I, clearly.

I just got cable wednesday actually. Yes, I'm poor.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 02:49 AM) Calm your tits. When did I say any of that? I'm simply going off what that guy said in his scenario. And f*** no I wouldn't deal Thome and Fields for Figgins. And Crede's awesome defense is good for last in the league in fielding percentage and most errors among third basemen. I didn't say you said that. I would like to see what your reasons are though, if I'm wrong. If you are serious about crede's defense, you aren't too bright. Does he make up for those errors or not?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 01:31 AM) No reason you can't put Chone in CF. CF Figgins SS Cabrera LF Quentin RF Dye DH Konerko C Pierzynski 1B Swisher 3B Crede 2B Ramirez Or, you put Swish in CF, Konerko at 1B, Figgins at 3rd, and let Crede DH to rest his back. 3B Figgins SS Cabrera LF Quentin RF Dye 1B Konerko C Pierzynski CF Swisher DH Crede 2B Ramirez So you'd bench a hot hitting thome, who is probably the 3rd best hitter on the sox, and statistically the 4th best, for chone, who'd you give up a s***load to acquire. That makes little sense to me. Thome had a bad start so lets trade him at his lowest value, that's what smart GMs do right? Who cares if he has been good for a month now. Crede DH? Are you on f***ing crack? The guy is awesome defensively.

I find it funny that I was ridiculed here for saying that Alexei was a superior defender and we wouldn't lose anything playing him instead of uribe.
