Yes, but it's also very hard to give up on a team that was built to contend and has won 17 of 26 games.
And yet the team is still under .500 with quit a bit of offensive holes

There's only one piece to sell. That Samardzija. You might as well listen to offers. If something blows them out of the water, do it, otherwise, this team has nothing really to sell.
With so many teams needing pitchers somebody hopefully should make a decent offer. Heck the jays are still trying for more starting pitching. Yankees need it horribly after sending nova to dl

Still 17-9 since the first Cardinals series
And yet they are still under .500 and have been for the majority of the year
QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 09:49 PM)
Yes, it should have... we were literally inches away from being 3-3 those games, and don't forget we went something like 9-3 right before that 1-5 stretch.
What the actual shows is how inconsistent this team is. They win some then play bad then play good.
QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 09:45 PM)
Losing one game shouldn't change their minds
Yes but going winning 7 games in a row after starting off the Second half going 1-5 shouldn't have changed their mines either
QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 09:43 PM)
Lets get to .500 and go from there.............Sox brass in a very tough spot tonight, should be interesting to see.
Last time they were at .500 was may 17 and 19. They unfortunately went 1-7 their next 8 game after
QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 09:18 PM)
Need to take 2 of 3 this weekend at least. Keep winning series and things will work out
Sox will still be under .500 even taking 2 of 3. Sox need to win and do it in bunches
QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 09:01 PM)
.500 is so f***ing elusive. That's what is disappointing
Not that elusive. They were there twice this year. Tho last time they were on this type of winning streak to finally get over .500 the lost like 6 in a row.

It's very quiet. Almost too quiet. Makes me think something huge is in the works.
Probably just going to stand pat to drive us nuts
By the way: Tyson Ross left after five innings because a comebacker hit him in the thigh and it tightened up. No trade there. Yet.

Gomez's camp was told a trade was done pending physicals. I assume the physicals were not approved. #Brewers #Mets

People are saying it's probably wheelers medical stuff that might of stopped the trade
First of aj is familiar with sale, quintana, and danks. Second flowers defense is pretty horrible anyways. Third slight offense increase. Flowers is hitting .221 with around a .260 opb vs aj that's hitting .284 and a .320 plus opb. There's a good difference there
To recap: #Rangers to acquire Cole Hamels for OF Nick Williams, C Jorge Alfaro, RHP Jerad Eickhoff, and at least 1 more player. @FOXSports

Hector Olivera is a potentially prime bat who costs $32M over next five years. Atlanta stocked with young pitching, so can give up Wood.
