His name is Rios and he dances on the sand !

Texas looks lazy or disinterested.

Youkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk !

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 05:34 PM) i dont think he means it like that, that he sucks, just that he might be hitting a wall and were going to need a starter. sale has no chance today with that fastball* 88 MPH fastball

RANGER ANNOUNCERS SPECUALTING sALE NOW LOOKS LIKE A FINESSES PITCHER COMPARED TO WHAT THEY SAW OF HIM IN cHICAGO.

Grienke to the Angels for 3 prospects.

Indians just beat Tigers /Verlander 5-3. Sox in sole possession of 1st.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 08:24 AM) I don't think it's been quiet at all...I think he's been the MVP of the offense...he's been hitting like a machine for about 3 months now. Quietly meaning no national attention , no All Star game, no curtain calls from fans, not even extended interviews from Chicago media. In what way do you think it hasn't been quiet ?

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 07:47 PM) You may be right but I think this year's team is what KW was hoping for/expecting last year when they were supposedly "all in". Therfore, I think he may go for it this year and he sees the window of oppurtunity to win it all closing very quickly. I know it's hard to predict the future, but 2 years from now PK, AJ, Dunn, Peavy, and Youk are all probably gone and the Sox aren't contending anyway. Why not try and win it all this year? The thing is I don't think he see's the window of opportunity closing so quickly. Weather we get Greinke or not we're in a good position. Granted I think we need another starter but one can be acquired without sacrificing the future. All the moves KW made in the off season and so far during the season point to him looking at the future while keeping his eye on this year. I believe he continues along that path. We shall see.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 01:12 PM) That's an oversimplification. He's had some hits and some misses. Quentin, Ramirez, Podsednik, Iguchi, Pierzynski were all excellent acquisitions by Williams. As was Dye.

Rios quietly having a career year.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 04:42 PM) I think he'll use Reed in a deal to get Greinke and then pick up Huston Street from SD. Floyd, Mitchell, Reed, possibly another pitching prospect for Greinke. I don't think Street will cost a ton if/when he turns down SD's contract extension proposal. I just don't think KW wants to make a deal to hurt future teams. . It's just too much to sacrifice on a rental.

Should be Peavy's last inning.

Definitely time to platoon Tank.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 12:53 PM) Tank looks terrible out there today. Worst I've seen him look all year but all in all he's played pretty good out there.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 12:40 PM) Not getting the job done 90% of the time is worthless. As much as you'd like to believe that I'm sure his team mates appreciate it.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 12:48 PM) Dammit, Viciedo diving and landing on his face. stop that s***, this game is well in hand, you don't have to dive... He bounced his head off the ground pretty good.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 12:36 PM) GB so worthless. I saw a guy trying to help the team by going to right not worthlessness.

Damn that Tank against righties !!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 12:06 PM) Reed Johnson for the bench My 2nd choice was he makes a deal with the Cubs.

Lots of good pieces out there. Marlins selling Cubs selling. Sox said to want Greinke. Kenny's done a great job getting the Red Sox and Astro's to eat salary. Does he continue to go that route ? There's plenty of suitor for the high end guys with better prospects and willing to eat more money. My prediction is the Sox reacquire Buerhle and hope they can get the Marlins to eat the last year of the contract, This would make the fan base pretty happy and he's had success in the AL as opposed to wondering what you might get from an NL pitcher who pitches in a pitcher friendly park. As much as the Sox are said to want Greinke I can't see the Sox getting a rental after all the moves they've made to trim salary and the trades they've made so far not to take on salary.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 12:06 PM) I disagree. This guy has 3 excellent pitches and reminds of me of a younger Johan Santana. You keep Q! You do not want to repeat another Gio Gonzalez or Dan Hudson situation. I agree with your disagreement. KW has spent the off season stockpiling young arms. He's not going to trade Q .

Lexei POP !
