August 31, 200619 yr yup, in years past Judy would have shown up in the fourth and pissed the game away. Why do people have to use Judy in every thread about Garland. The guy is 16-4.

Its not that they are just a bad team, its that they play sorry, pisspoor fundamental baseball. Oh well, helps us tonight. Breathing room? This is a team that blew a 6-game lead for the WC in a matter of two weeks following the all-star break. Edited August 31, 200619 yr by Jordan4life_2006
August 31, 200619 yr QUOTE(beautox @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) i want to know where gregory pratt is to defend pods. I must admit, I defended Pods for some time, but I guess he simply isn't the same player. Hey, Pods! You can only have sex once a week. That girl is wearing you out, dog. You just got nothin' when you get to the field.

August 31, 200619 yr Id rather see Pablo, Mackowiak, Gload, Sweeney, or Fields in LF the rest of the season over Pods.... hell Ill even take Owens. I never want to see that bum starting again.

August 31, 200619 yr Hugs and kisses to my boys Tadahito Iguchi and Jermaine Dye. Some nice box in the box seats tonight. BENCH PODS; START MACKOWIAK IN LF
August 31, 200619 yr Yeah and how quickly you guys quit. IT'S NOT OVER YET b****ES WERE GONNA WIN THE DIVISIOn!!!1
August 31, 200619 yr What a game by the sox today to come back and beat the Drays with the Twins losing. What a job by Gooch and Dye to getting the job done.
August 31, 200619 yr I'm ignorant to the process of how a FA is rated for draft picks, so could the reason Pods has been playing every day be to ensure the Sox receive an A draft pick and not a B when Pods signs elsewhere in the offseason?

The Elias Sports Bureau determines if they are a type A or type B or type SUX fa, which fixes compensation. The top x% of all players at a position are type A, the next y% are type B, etc. I don't remember what x and y are, but Pods would certainly have to be a top 50% lf (or of, maybe -- ?) to get any sort of compensation. Which would make everyone wonder if Elias Sports Bureau = Laugh Factory if it happened.

Scott Podsednik is not a free agent after this season, he still has i believe 2 years of Arbitration remaining. Meaning he is under Sox control so they can do 1 of 4 things this offseason: 1.) Trade his ass 2.) Sign him to a new deal avoiding arbitration 3.) Go to arbitration with the bastage 4.) Non-tender him, he becomes a free agent, the Sox get diddly.

They do not want to get rid of him to the point that they non-tender him.. i believe that we will get more back for him than what is expected.

Totally agree, I also think the same goes for Garcia, some people see him as having NO value. IMO he'll end up on some NL team next year with the Sox gettting a pretty decent package of prospects back in return. (1-2)
