Garland is not a gutsy pitcher! Are you happy, is that politically correct and sensitive enough for you? This is pathetic. Dont be so damn sensitive.

 

No s***!

come on now, we can't be policing that strictly.  that's just ridiculous, downright ridiculous.  you should be upset with yourself for taking him so literally.

 

Finally! Thank you, Steve, for standing up for me in this ridiculous feud. How sensitive can people get?

This was a MUCH needed win. Way to step it up Bmac.

Hey, we're not the ones making the rules. However, the people who make the rules have gone out of their way to ask us to clean this site up. If you don't like the rules, then I'm sure the ESPN message boards would be great.

He pitches without balls? 'Cause he had a bad start against Texas, he isn't gutsy?

 

He has a 2.94 ERA vs Cleveland this year.

 

2.25 vs. Baltimore.

 

3.86 vs. Anahiem.

 

.53 vs. Detroit.

 

1.98 vs. Minny.

 

1.29 vs. SD.

 

This year, he has bad ERA's against Boston, Texas, Toronto, and Arizona. Does that make him not gutsy?

when he's right, he's right.  welcome tot he board!

 

Thanks again Steve. Im liking you more and more with every post I read. :)

Ok, here's the thing. Brandon makes the league minimum. We owe Jose 6 mill next year, Jose behind AJ burnett will be the best arm available. Jose could net us some good talent in return. Think about it, for the team it makes the most sense. Would it be better to get rid of the Duke...hell yes but he wont net us as much in return.

Great win, Cleveland is still 7 games behind but the Magic number cut by one tonight.

:cheers Bmac

:cheers Sox Offense

 

Keep it going Brandon, you pitched great vs a team that beat our top starters. As far as the offense I hope they have come alive.

Of all years to complain about Garland, this is not the year. He was amazing in the first half of the year, and he's been solid in the 2nd half of the year. I'm sure a lot of teams would be happy to take this testicle-free pitcher off of our hands.

Maybe you should take a look at this, just some info on why were being careful.

Maybe you should take a look at my posts and point out where I threatened to kill or even hurt a player, made sexual innuendo about a player, or even was profane. I didnt call Garland a pussy (I used the traditional word, coward), I didnt call him a f** (that would have been uncalled for). I called him a coward because the way he goes at hitters. For the millionth time, he doesnt attack hitters! How is that wrong? You know what, dont bother to tell me. Go get the admins and if they think what I said about Garland is wrong, then they can ban me and that can be that. If not, how about you just shut it and stop being so sensitive?

A Shutout vs Texas is huge. Last time they were shutout... 1st game after the All-Star break vs Oakland.

Hey man layoff, I just told you that you should read that for your own good. I don't care if you did or didn't say you would kill anyone. "You're acting like a cub fan."

Lol, when was the last time the sox put a few games together without any errors?? They look like butchers out there, for a while now.

and the Cubbies actually won today.

And why would Jose get us more talent? Perhaps because hes a better pitcher? Could that be the case? Id say keep the better pitcher and trade the lesser one for lesser prospects. The Sox should be playing for now, not years in the future. Besides, I like proven goods. How many times has a future great turned into garbage or disappeared completely? Weve had plenty of those. Jose however, is a solid starter and hes proven himself.

Yeah, the defense has looked pretty bad of late, and it seemed to drop off considerably during the losing streak. It seems like they have bad pitching, hitting, fielding, and coaching days all in the same games. Hopefully they got that out of their systems and they can string a decent winning streak together.

You layoff. Personal threats and sexual threats are what that mod condemns. Criticisms to the way a guy pitches are not condemned. If you dont like it, go get the mods. Since youre obviously right, I will be permanently banned, wont I?

I think the pitching staff in general is solid enough to win a lot of ballgames. The Sox need to shore up the left side of the infield. That should be priority #1 in the offseason if not before the waiver deadline tomorrow. :)

Everyone lay off. Quit making posts. Let it die.

You know, someone said Pods was overrated on another thread. Shouldnt we crackdown on him? I mean, hey, diverse opinions of popular players are not allowed, are they? Thats what this is. I revealed an obvious flaw of one of our popular pitchers and everybody freaked. Thats sad.
