We all thought Heads was so drunk that day.

What happens next season though, surely we can't go thru with that rotation again. At least giv Borch or Reed an oppurtunity to win the job in spring training against A-Row, while Gloady could be the bench guy.

Unless Reinsdorf was willin to take on an extra 6 million in payroll instead of Ortiz, and we all know the chances of that ever happenin.

Give him a break SuperSteff, oops I mean SuperSteve.

Andruw Jones, think Mike Cameron with a better average and more pop in his bat. I think the last few weeks this offense has shown we can cope without Maggs, guys like Paulie hav been stepping it up. If we get Jones though, it'll be interestin to see what happens with the right field spot. We've got Rowand, Reed and Borch to contend for it.

Andrew Bogut for Australia.

KW says a lot of things.

Doesn't Jones hav about 5 to 6 years left on his contract? Can't see us doin that deal.

C.C Sabathia also hurt his shoulder after 1 innin and is having a MRI scan.

I thought that was the Summer girl from the OC 1st time I looked.

Just a normal day in the life of SuperSteve.

Russ Ortiz's outing today against the Orioles. 7 IP, 7 Hits, 2 BB, 4 K's and 0 ER's. Season ERA now down to 3.87.

I wonder if Levine is actually on the money with his injury updates instead of his bogus trade rumors.

LOL. What nationality's the goat then Brando.

Isn't it weird that our last 2 wins have come from our 5th starters in Rauch and Diaz when we haven't had a win from our 5th starter for so long. They needed to step up, with the other main starters in a funk.

They almost did for Beltran, which really suprised me.

B-Mac continues to shine, hopefully Dave Wilder and Co. are taking good notice.

I'm not sure if Stoudemire will get the starting nod at PF, I got a weird feeling Carlos Boozer will get the 1st chance. Wouldn't suprise me to see James at PG and the Matrix at SF.

Allan Baird thought Mark Teahen had more potential than Kevin Youklis which says sumthin about his ability. Frankly I was suprised he wasn't promoted from AA to the A's when Chavez went down with his broken arm thanks to the D-Train Marte. KC got their catcher and third base prospects, Neil Wood was 11-3 for the A's AAA team and should be a #4 or #5 starter for the Royals. They can trade Joe Randa, when Teahen is ready for a prospect or 2 as well. And they got Denny Bautista for Jason Grimsley.

From the Sun - Times, With the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees the leaders in the sweepstakes to land Seattle Mariners pitcher Freddy Garcia, the Sox have turned their attention toward a recent 20-game winner. A fast-spreading rumor has the Sox close to a deal with the Atlanta Braves for right-hander Russ Ortiz. They also are interested in Mariners veteran left-hander Jamie Moyer, although Ortiz is preferred. Braves scout Jim Fregosi has been a regular at U.S. Cellular Field the past week. General manager Ken Williams elected to not respond to all the talk. ''I'd rather not discuss anything with regards to the trade market or potential guys we're looking at,'' Williams said. ''I don't think it's fair to the players we have in uniform that are fighting every day to get us back to first place.'' The Sox would send a package of young players to the Braves. It is expected to include right-hander Jon Rauch, who angered Sox management last month when he left the park early after a rough outing against the Anaheim Angels. Rauch's outing Thursday against the Cleveland Indians, when he allowed one run in five innings, was said to be a showcase start so the Braves could see him operate at the major-league level. The Sox' package of players also is expected to include either of the organization's highly-touted Class-A outfielders, Brian Anderson or Ryan Sweeney. Ortiz, who is making $6.2 million this season, won 21 games for the Braves last season and was a National League All-Star. He spent his first five seasons with the San Francisco Giants. He is 6-6 with a 4.18 ERA this season. The timing of a deal certainly fits the Sox' style. It was a year ago this Thursday when the Sox acquired Carl Everett and Roberto Alomar only to fall out of the division lead with two weeks remaining in the season

I think pitchers have figured out to throw him more breaking balls now instead of fastballs. Uribe was never goin to hit over .300 forever.

Stick it to the Man!

Watch out Brooks Kieschinick.

Nice rhetorical question by Soxnbears01 there too.

So we've got Billy the Marlin, Billy the Goat and I don't know what Witesoxfan's is called. Other possible names include Billy the Kid, Billy fo Silly, and Lilly Koch.
