Juan performing well is bitter sweet to me.  I want him to do well for the sake of the team, but the better he performs, the more Kenny and Ozzie love him and the less likely we will go after Furcal.  Unless, we went after Furcal and moved Uribe to 3b, which would be a logical move to me.

 

I know others disagree w/me, but I wouldn't worry about Furcal. He's going to get a ton of money this offseason, and I can't see us getting into a bidding war with the Cubs for him. Considering his agent is Aramis Ramirez's agent, and they're close friends.....it leads me to believe that if the Braves don't bring him back, he'll be playing for the Cubs next year.

Not only was Parque terrible, but I heard he was a jackass,

Another personal attack.

I waited on him a few times at a restaraunt I worked at a few years ago. He seemed like an OK guy but who knows.

Great job McCarthy!

Another personal attack.

doesn't count, jim parque wasn't good enough to be called a "player"

 

i'm sorry :banghead

Not to get into a bash Cubs thing or look towards next year one, but if we throw similar money at Furcal, I think Ozzie latin influence and the fact that the Cubs have Dusty and all day games could bring him here. Especially if we do well in the playoffs, we could be very popular.

I want to extend an apology for those listening to one person on this earth who's worse than DJ in Rick Sutcliffe.

Thats a personal attack. :headshake

Not that most of us care what the national media think but this could be an eye-opening win for the national folks. Beating Schilling at Fenway, where they have been almost uneatable lately.

Another personal attack.

 

How is that a personal attack? I have heard he wasn't a very nice guy and when I met him he was not very friendly to me or the other people around me.

Yime to unload on Schilling here.

As one of the main pessimists on this board, you should know that there's still a long way to go in this game.

You could say... "I never liked him, he had a bad attitude", instead of calling someone a "jackass".

Hey didn't you read my September 1st post? I am turning a new leaf. I am Mr optimist until our season ends...hopefully in mid-October.

 

Next inning is huge for Brandon: Renteria, Ortiz and Manny at least. If he can get out of the next inning allowing only 1 run or none, we should be set. Paulie!!!!

PK=ON FIRE

Konerko Agrees

Paul is on fire.

PK looks like he could get extra base hits at will against Schilling. I remember him blasting a homer against him last time we were here also.

Bingo.

Ball was killed for a HR by Kong. Before this year he didn't have a HR in Fenway and this year he has hit one in each game played there this season.

Rowand Agrees.

Although I'm not the biggest PK fan, he is no doubt the MVP of this season.

Compared to Hawk and DJ, these ESPN announcers suck. Ugh.

Paul's bat must be melting in his hands......

 

Someone's in their free agent year stretch drive! Even if it results in him going to a different team after this season, at least he's contributing so much to this team.

A-ROW!
