Mr. Showtime

I'm sure it's hard to lose a guy who's marched into battle with these guys for 2 years. However, I know the players understand this is what's best for this team right now. The bottom line in this business is you go out on the field and you win.

Vince we're you at the park today? I could've swore I saw you on tv.

I love this trade from the stand point of what it does to our team this season, and the message it send to the Twins. Everyone knew that already, I just wanted to post it: Image from espn.com

I was talking to Jason and said I couldn't believe it was half way down on the 2nd page, would've been on the 3rd page by morning.

*bump* So folks aren't totally confused as to all of this talk about other names.

There was talk the other day of the Sox getting Russ Ortiz from Atlanta for Rauch and prospects. Now all of the sudden the deal has become Ortiz and Jones for Magglio and mybe Rauch. There's a long ass thread on it that I'll bump...

I understand that, I just think Garcia is the best guy out there and this was the price that had to be paid. All we can do as fans is sit back and watch.

He's been pictching well. I'm sure he'll give up some more runs in our park, but our hitters will score him runs the M's weren't.

The Yankees we're offering their stud catching prospect and a good infielder as well. The point is that if we wanted Garcia we had to equal the Yanks in terms of talent. I love the trade, and I'm sure Kenny has another deal in the works.

I agree, and I think he has one more deal up his sleeve.

Thanks. You should hop on AIM.

Yep, make a statement to these f***s. Pohlad won't let them add more players, we just added the best starter on the market.

Depends on what hack it means to certain people. I can see .250-.275 average, but nothing more.

I gotta question if that wrist problem he had is a factor in all of this. Like the Sox think it will be something that keeps popping up.

Unless it's a real serious injury, I'd take him. They don't have to trade for a guy this week.

Thanks. Alex asked me to make one, since I made the Shingo one the day he signed as well. Once we see him in the silver and black for sure.

I wouldn't mind Charles Johnson again, I don't think it would take much to get him either.

I'm listening to the Score, and I wanna see these quotes for myself. Reporter said the Sox we're souring on Olivo due to his game calling. I assume Kenny said this at the press conference, and a Sox exec told this reporter that they we're down on Reed due to his performance in AAA.

Interesting, reporter on the Score says Kenny said during the press conference that he was souring on his game calling. Which is why he didn't catch Buehrle.

Levine reported that the Braves we're "looking" at Marte. Doesn't mean he's in the talks.

Sad to see him go, I think Kenny has something up his sleeve to get us another catcher soon.

This is exactly why this trade is good. Now you slide Garcia in against Minnesota and then you go to play the AL West again. Lets get on a roll.

Sox get Ben Davis and cash according to the Score.

Score just confirmed it.

Ordonez has to get healthy first, and that's looking like another 10 days atleast. So it may be awhile.
