July 31, 200817 yr What a pleasant game to watch. Shows something about the posters on this site when loser threads are posted the instant the last out is recorded but a winner thread is like 10 minutes after the game.
July 31, 200817 yr Big Win!!! Back off the ledge guys.... The funniest part was we only lost 3 in a row lol. Lets get this split then break out some brooms vs KC
July 31, 200817 yr Great game by Gavin just when we needed him, and it was really nice to see some offense tonight.
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 09:54 PM) Did anybody else lip read what AJ said when PK got his single?- "Get the ball." "AJ never misses a trick on a baseball field."
July 31, 200817 yr IMO this team will go as the offense goes the rest of the year. Seems like the pitching will continue to be good but not great, but if the offense can pick up some slack then they will win 90 or so and that will be enough. Great game tonight, only go to see it after most of the fun had happened. Q! Alexei! Swisher and PK had an impact as well, good to see. Q continues to amaze, this guy might not be the league's MVP, but he's the Sox' MVP, with JD taking a close runner up.
July 31, 200817 yr Buster Olney just said the Sox offered Orlando Cabrera to the A's for Street. I dont know who else has posted that but interesting. For the Manny trade, the Pirates got raped, unless that prospect they got from the Red Sox is SS Jed Lowrie, and I dont know who they would get from the Marlins.

First off- I didn't hear him say it was offered. Secondly- The Manny trade isn't official yet, settle down.
July 31, 200817 yr I missed the whole game because of work but predicted a split last night... let's stick to it.
July 31, 200817 yr Great road trip for Gavin. CQ too. I cannot imagine where we would be without Quentin and Alexei.

I would not have liked that trade at all. The whole point of the Cabrera deal was to have him be a mercenary and to get the 2 draft picks when he leaves in FA. Well, he can't leave in FA if he's not with the team anymore. And Street has lost his edge this season, not sure how that trade helps the club this year, let alone down the road. [Edit] I just took a look at Streets stats, seems he's been a victim of mostly bad luck this year and is still only 24 (did not know that at all). I would have traded O-Cab for him straight up with that info at hand, looks like Beane was too smart for that one though. Edited July 31, 200817 yr by chitownsportsfan
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (rudylaw @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 10:10 PM) This game was a perfect example of what we need to do to win. It's all about the pitching. It does not matter if Paulie does not hit. It does not matter if Swish does not hit. All that matters is that our starters pitch well. If they do we will go to the playoffs and we could go a long way. Uh, and score 8 runs? Baseball is about outscoring the opponent, doesn't matter how it's done. I think that's a gross oversimplication.

No, he said "the A's and Sox are talking about Street.......and the Sox have offered OC out there blah blah Dogers interested"
July 31, 200817 yr Tonight was a HUGE game. Gavin came up big. CQ came up big. Lexi with a big hit. It's almost like a huge monkey off everybody's back. You'd never know we were 8-6 against the Twins this year.....

July 31, 200817 yr Why in the universe would Oakland want two months of Cabrera, while giving up their 24 year old closer, when they have absolutely zero chance at the playoffs this year? They wouldn't. Less than a non-story.

They wouldn't. Less than a non-story. 1. They have Brad Ziegler 2. I believe Street could leave after 2009. 3. OC brings them two high draft picks. That's life as a mid market team. Now this deal isn't going to happen, but that is why it's not illogical to bring up. Edited July 31, 200817 yr by whitesoxfan101
