We need to get in contact with the Pirates, Cubs, Royals, and Marlins. If we haven't already.

KW has to go out and get some serious bullpen help. If we bulk up the bullpen, this is a WS team. I don't think it is with the current bullpen. Picking up Jeff Nelson off of the scrap heap isn't enough. We've got enough back of the bullpen guys already. We've got the prospects, so trade a couple of them for a couple genuinely good bullpen arms. The sooner the better.

im hopign and praying the angels remain way under .500 and maybe, just maybe, a guy like scott shields becomes available

Everyone is looking for bullpen help, and not too many teams are willing to sell because they're still in it.

Which is exactly why he should have been looking to sign real relievers last winter instead of the Monteros, and Lopezs,and Bentz's of the world.

there isn't another team in baseball i would trade for.

 

Here's a little song i wrote,

you might want to sing it note for note,

don't worry, be happy

 

in every life we have some trouble,

when you worry you make it double

don't worry, be happy

 

dont worry be happy now

dont worry be happy

dont worry be happy

dont worry be happy

dont worry be happy

aint got no place to lay your head,

somebody came and took your bed,

don't worry, be happy

 

the landlord say your rent is late,

he may have to litagate,

dont worry (small laugh) be happy,

 

look at me im happy,

don't worry, be happy

 

i give you my phone number,

when your worried, call me,

i make you happy

 

don't worry, be happy

 

aint got no cash, aint got no style,

aint got no gal to make you smile

but don't worry, be happy

 

cos when you worry, your face will frown,

and that will bring everybody down,

so don't worry, be happy

 

don't worry, be happy now...

 

don't worry, be happy

don't worry, be happy

don't worry, be happy

don't worry, be happy

 

now there this song i wrote

i hope you you learned it note for note

like good little children

 

dont worry be happy

 

listen to what i say

in your life expect some trouble

when you worry you make it double

dont worry be happy

be happy now

 

dont worry, be happy

dont worry, be happy

dont worry, be happy

dont worry, be happy

dont worry

dont worry be happy

don't worry, don't worry, don't do it,

be happy,put a smile on your face,

don't bring everybody down like this

 

don't worry, it will soon pass whatever it is,

don't worry, be happy,

i'm not worried

if the scrubs keep playing the way they have, how bout scott williamson?

Look at the three relievers the Tigers have used tonight. If you add up their ERAs, it would still almost be our best reliever.

This is why I don't look at who you are playing just how you are playing.

We've lost 3 of 4 to the Tribe letting them back in the race. Detroit beat the hell out of the Tribe

and everybody said Detroit is playing nobody.

Cleveland is now right back in it.

If/When Cleveland wins tonight, they will be 7.5 games back. Not exactly "right back in it."

Really is TOO perfect.

Not a chance in the world.

Let's get five off Wickman.

He might be one of the most realistic possibilities. I think Roberto Hernandez could be a possibility.

I can't see the Angels trading Shields even if they tank. He's way too valuable and rubber-armed.

Not a chance in the world.

 

Yep, he's pretty much untouchable. They'd be more likely to trade Donnelly....but I don't think the Angels will conceed anything.

I absolutely HATE the idea of trading for bullpen help. Even though I realize it's necessary, it's such an inconsistent position which will cost us several valuable prospects.

 

Why isn't anyone looking at the pile of s*** we call a minor league system and questioning where the pitching help is? Of the entire system, no one is readily available to assist our bullpen--and that's just sad.

Bulls***. You felt pretty confident with a 15 game lead last year right? We all know how that well.

 

It's May. They made up those 15 games in two f***ing months last year.

 

As far as I'm concerned, as long as the Indians aren't 10 back, they are in this race.

He made an offer to Mike Myers but Myers said he wanted to pitch in New York because of the "mystique" or whatever.

 

Who else was there? Billy Wagner, Roberto Hernandez?

 

Another thing: Signing bullpen help is one of the most risky moves a GM can make because relievers are so inconsistent.

yes!!!!

If the sox would be taking care of business like they should be we wouldn't have to worry about anyone. Even now they should be thinking about improving each one of themselves, not other teams.

I thought that was your job?

excellent post

I think Roberto Hernandez could be a possibility.

 

So do I but there will be lots of teams clamoring for him if he is still pitching well this month.

I like the way you're put together.

When the f*** did I blame Ozzie for what happened to McCarthy? I wanted McCarthy to start the 6th inning, as I think he's a hell of a lot more comfortable starting the inning instead of coming in with people on base. It's truly disappointing to see what we've made McCarthy into this season.

 

Everyone in this site knows that you always blame everything on Ozzie. It goes back to last year. If McCarthy can not handle the heat, then he has no business being on the team. He really STINKS so far!

What in the world happened to the pitching staff? Losing 3 straight now to Cleveland is pathetic. Thank goodness Detroit is on a losing streak also.
