TCQ- 50 HR's until 100

Damn, I only got one year out of my Swisher jersey, not a good financial move

Konerko, Thome or Dye all should have been traded instead of Swisher

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 4, 2008 -> 10:45 PM) I don't think Clayton Richard and Poreda are comparable in any way in the front office's minds...we can't keep trading away our best prospects and not face a penalty with our payroll. Some of these young, pre-arbitration players (Anderson, Fields, Getz, Nix, Owens, Richard, Poreda, Broadway) have to start making a positive impact for the Sox. We got relatively lucky with Quentin, Alexei, Danks and Floyd, but we can't count on some many question marks breaking in a positive fashion every year. KW knows this as well as anyone. I obviously agree that Richard and Poreda are completely different situations. Poreda appears to be touted as a top of the rotation type pitcher while if Richard could someday be a solid 4 or 5 it would be fantastic. Obviously Poreda has more value and is viewed much differently than Richard. However, with two lefties in the rotation already it seems unlikely that both these guys would ever be in the rotation at the same time atleast for the next 3 years. It is very likely that one of them could be traded and more likely that Poreda would because he has much greater trade value. It seems likely that Poreda will be traded and thus I think Kenny is merrily attempting to improve his value. Think of all the top prospects the sox have had in the last few years that have been traded, Sweeney, Young, Reed just to name a few.

resigning Juan Uribe

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 4, 2008 -> 06:42 PM) So, after re-reading this, did anyone else think "Ok, we need to build up Poreda's trade value. Buddy, you want to handle this one?" I read it this way as well. Seems that Kenny is trying to boost Poreda's trade value as he could in fact be the one being shopped. The sox already have two lefties in the rotation who will be around for a while, and another one who looked pretty decent in September in Richard. It's odd enough to have three lefties in a rotation, and I never have heard of having four. In other words I wouldn't be surprised if Poreda was a fifth starter next year, but I would be if it was for the sox.

Should have ph Wise to lay down a bunt

Corpseball at its finest

HE GAWN

If Blackburn throws that to all our guys I think we'll be ok

THERE WE GO!!! Twins need to shank it to get hits, hitting it well isnt in the gameplan

QUOTE (beautox @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 12:26 AM) so nervous.. haven't been this nervous since el duque came in bases juiced. also im listening to a little ccr - run through the jungle or since gavin botched that throw yesterday

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 12:21 AM) Stadium looks sick!!

Dick Stockton? I was hoping for Chip Carey!

Is it just me but would you guys feel a lot more comfortable if Hawk and DJ were doing this game?

This bomb instantly joins Pod's, PK's and Tad's bombs in 05. It was the exact same feeling for me. Come to think of it, Blum's homer wasn't as exciting probably because I was so sure we were going to win the series by that point.

QUOTE (Chigsox22 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 12:01 AM) I haven't been this nervous since the '05 World Series!!! Welcome to Soxtalk! But to be honest I'm at a new level of nervousness. At no point in the world series run did we have a win or go home type of situation. This is the most nervous I have ever been before any sporting event.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 01:23 AM) He has some control. You can tell with him pretty fast how he'll fare. If Sheffield hits one hard, yank him. well sheff hit it pretty well

How do you all think this game will finish pen-wise? I am praying no Linebrink.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 01:12 AM) Well, this year was worth sticking with the Sox until the end...no matter what happens tomorrow. I think this statement will likely be retracted

Thank goodness for the rain delay, gave Freddy time to smoke another joint

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 07:25 AM) Predict the lineup....here's mine: SS- Cabrera CF- Anderson 2B- Ramirez DH- Thome RF- Dye 1B- Konerko LF- Swisher C- AJP 3B- Uribe Love to see that

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 03:20 AM) KW will acquire a real leadoff hitter this offseason. why is roberto alomar making a comeback?
