Brandon McCarthy to retire

Featured Replies

This one makes me sad. One of the great personalities in the game.

 

Had that huge win for the team in Boston in September 2005. Always wondered what could have been had he remained in the organization.

Those stats are niceeeeeee.

Yes, a guy who really has perspective in the game.

Not worthy of the Hall of Fame, but definitely worthy of the Hall of Niceeeeeeeeee

I still remember when he was a prospect here posting on this board. Great guy, great memories. 

Always liked McCarthy. I wish well in the braves pen. With his personality I think he'd be a good fit in the booth calling games. Brandon and AJ could make for a fun team.

The one thing I can think of is it would have helped the Sox not make the playoffs in 2008, since John Danks wouldn't have been on the team.

 

He's a good guy and all, but trading him turned out to be a wise move.

Man did I hate that trade, partly because I was such a big BMac fan.  It turned out to be one of KW's best moves.

Those were some great chats with him, Baj, and Bull.  Great personalities. 

With him retiring, no members of the 2005 Chicago White Sox will be active in MLB.

Sad day, what a team

As long as he still tweets.

Guy had one of the nastiest 12-6 curveballs

I liked McCarthy a lot with the Sox.
But Danks was just as good and for 2008, a lot better.
Williams made several important trades after the 2007 Guillen and injury-driven debacle, especially for the Carlos Quentin.  Even Swisher 1 wasn't that bad; it was cowtowing to Guillen and giving him away in Swisher 2 that was the problem.
