As long as he's not violent or dangerous to others, I couldn't care less how big of a douche the guy is if he can play. The supposed king of all douche's was a huge part of 05.

 

Ventura hit him last year and Herrera tried to hit him. Didn't go after either of them.

You weren't that big of a part of that season

Actually had a feeling this joke was coming when I saw you were the last to post here. WAY TO BE PREDICTABLE

Who cares if he is a douche.. this team has been playing dead for too long. Need someone to brings some fire to them. Hopefully, he can play some good ball.

I've been told Sox unwilling to trade E Johnson for him. We'll see if they budged. Susan Sluseer told me it's unclear if names have been agreed upon but the return will be two minor leaguers.

 

Answer me on Twitter you jerk!

Oh whaaaa! So he blocked the local beat writer. Its twitter, Big deal. :lol:

 

Obviously he thought whatever she said about/to him was a big enough deal that the took the time digitally put his fingers in his ears and yell "LALALALALALA" when she talks about him.

 

I mean, it's whatever. I don't automatically love players because they are on my favorite team. I try to avoid being a homer in that sense. But I realize the same people who hated Samardzija on the Cubs, and then loved him on the Sox, then hated him again once he left will be the same people to fall in love with someone like Lawrie because he plays for their favorite team. Not for me.

So if he comes here you don't want to root for him to do good? You'd prefer he suck and we don't win games?

Hayes just tweeted that he originally heard the price was high for Lawrie, so take that for what it's worth.

Nah, I won't root against him, but I won't root for him. There are players I have hated on a lot of my favorite teams. I'm a Cowboys fan. I hated Terrell Owens and I now hate Dez Bryant. I don't hope Dez drops every pass thrown his way, but I would love for him to be traded and you couldn't pay me to ever wear his jersey. I hated Daniel Carcillo on the Hawks as well.

Haha yeah this doesn't solve the hole in the middle of the order but it helps.

Fair enough, I can see that. FWIW, I never was a Samardzija fan. ;)

Agreed, Lawrie would be an upgrade over what we've seen the how many years at 3B?

I have Samardzija's jersey :)

 

To be fair, he is a family friend.

Cool, now I have to go to bed without knowing what is going on

I also highly doubt this will be it (well including adding another infielder possibly). I doubt they make one or two little moves like this without making one big one too.

Nothing wrong with that. Freedom of choice!

I'm gonna guess Beck/Danish and Coats for Lawrie

Hopefully it's the first domino.

One last comment on him as a person.....

 

When Lawrie first heard he was going to be added to the "40"-man roster.

Lmao, you're really trying to prove a point. I'll like the Lawrie trade as long as its not the only move done.

He was what, 21?

 

I can care less as long as he plays good here (if he does indeed come here).

Sure, as soon as I become a public figure. :P
