September 1, 200916 yr ^^^ There's a big difference between trading a future HOFer to a contender and kicking somebody off of the team out of anger. one is funnier than the other

Tigers, Jays, RedSox have all done it. They have no place on the team. Bad contract for bad aged talent. They can't keep DLing these guys to get them in the minors. Add Colon to that list to. Even if Sox won half those games, they would be over .500 now and in a pennant chase. Edited September 1, 200916 yr by b-Rye

Remember Carlton Fisk's last days with the Sox? I don't think it could get much worse than that. Not saying KW would do something like that... but our beloved Sox do have a history.

Other than, you know, showing you have no class as an organization.

September 1, 200916 yr QUOTE (DaveBrown85 @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 11:10 PM) so do we know where he is going yet? I heard Boston, but that really makes no sense. I would think it would have to be Texas or TB.
September 1, 200916 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 09:40 PM) Damn. I'll miss Thome. Hopefully Kenny laid the groundwork for him to go to a contender, and maybe to come back next year. ummm no thanks

There's one month left with Jose! f***, pitch him out of the pen, but you don't cut the ace of your 05 WS team and a guy who went balls out just to be back this season. As far as Linebrink, why would you simply declare him as a sunk cost? He's not been good, but he hasn't been horrible?
September 1, 200916 yr QUOTE (b-Rye @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 09:12 PM) CONTRERAS TO ROCKIES!!! Somebody actually wanted Jose?
September 1, 200916 yr QUOTE (dmbjeff @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 11:08 PM) you ought to ask Carlton Fisk about that Yeah, I hate it when an organization keeps a player around who can't hit or catch just so he can break a meaningless record which turns out only lasted a few years.
