August 20, 200520 yr Please. Somebody. Anybody. Make it stop. Please. I'm going to have an anuersym at this rate. I can't take this. Is there anyone who can make me feel like this team has anything left? ...i need a drink.
August 20, 200520 yr We are gone geese. I hope in the offseason they fix these problems. Find a new hitting coach and I hope by season's end the Joe Crede experiment is over. Keep Pods, Rowand, Iguchi, and Pierznski. I still have to see how Konerko is the rest of the way to decide on him. Dye is boarderline but I guess acceptable. So I think they must upgrade at 3rd, SS, and find a new DH. Everett is OK but we need something more that can be a powerful force at DH like a Griffey caliber player. Dont know who would be available but something like this. Edited August 20, 200520 yr by Ozzie Montana

If this team chokes, and doesn't make the playoffs, this offseason would be more about who we get rid of than who we add. We don't have a lot of money to spend.
August 20, 200520 yr Yeah, it sucks but this team is done. Either it's gonna choke away this lead or it will get swept in the first round. Unless of course, we add a major bat.

We don't have a lot of money to spend. How do you figure that? We have had a projected 20% increase in attendance and we are losing a bunch of salaries after this season. We are looking at a big bump in payroll.

Like Toronto, who are going to have big increases in payroll for the next few years, the Sox may have to add that salary through a trade if they miss out on the likes of Furcal and Burnett.
