Hey I've been behind koch this whole year as the closer, read the koch threads I backed him up everytime.

Way to take things literally brando.

Did he drive the run in....yes. It wasn't pretty and no he didn't hit the ball hard but he got the job done and that's all that matters.

The royals starting pitching is bad not because they have a lot of lefties but because their starting pitchers just suck.

But it doesn't matter it got through and your right cwsox baseball is a game of inches and what he said doesn't make a lot of sense.

It was a slowly hit ground ball through the hole between short and 3rd.

I want to argue but I just can't

Why must you steal my thunder?

I will say it right now, after the we see neal start a couple games the sox will not need another starting pitcher.

. Thank you kenny

Ok and how many games has Crede won for the sox this year??

Completely agreed Crede needs to stay in the lineup. That ball to center was definitely catchable but he's rusty out there right now, but once he gets used to playing center again he will be fine out there. I think this is the best everday lineup the sox can put out there now considering there is no way in hell you can have an 8 million dollar a year bench player in pk, but hopefully kenny can swing a deal to get rid of pk or carlos soon. I would love to see ross get to play everday it just won't happen right now.

I honestly could care less what billy's era, if he keeps getting saves he's doing his job. Billy....

Tonights Lineup: Harris cf uribe 2b maggs rf thomas dh lee lf valentin ss konerko 1b crede 3b olivo c

They were both in the Everett deal. Also with the Koch trade, it sucked for last year, but what does oakland have to show for it now? I know most everyone hates koch, but he's 6 of 7 in save opportunites and has done his job, and also got a stud pitcher out of it in cotts who eventually is going to be one hell of a starting pitcher.

I dislike the cubs a lot more then the twins, but I want the twins to lose more.

It'd be great for the sox to take their time with him, but I think he'd be more beneficial to the white sox then clee even if he didn't produce at a huge level right away.

Exactly, sorry bolding words looked like fun. Anways kenny will make a move and he'll make one quite soon I believe. Jas you make a great point about the financial flexibility right now. Peter Gammons,(yes I know it's peter gammons so not a great source) brought up Kris Benson again on the 11 o'clock bbtn, but if Kenny is looking to acquire him he must be trying to also trade PK or carlos because I'm positive he has no money to spend right now, I wonder how he's trying to work that out. Kenny is probably the most aggressive gm in baseball and I don't think it's just a coincidence gammons keeps mentioning him with trade talks. I think there might be a trade before Diaz's next start against the twinkies. I said before in other threads that if the sox could get rid of pk or carlos even for prospects it would be addition by subtraction meaning I think the sox offense is better off with gload starting at 1b then pk(I really love watching ross play) and reed out in lf then carlos.

To rebuild you keep your young, cheap, good, talented players you don't trade them. If your rebuilding you trade guys in the last years of their contracts or older players for prospects, the pirates would never trade Oliver.

Like I said before after watching this team pull this crap again this year, I blamed way to much on Jerry Manuel last year, it was his players not him. Cwsox you always said jerry was a good manager and I bashed you for that, I still don't think he was a good manager, but he definitely wasn't as bad as I thought. Cwsox

PK in untradeable I think at this point, I wish the sox could get rid of him for anything in the world. The offense needs to be dismantled. Two of maggs, hurt, pk, and carlos must go, I would love it to be pk and carlos but that would be real hard. The only two people in this lineup that have earned anything this year are uribe and willie and they are the only two guys in the lineup who don't swing for the fences. I absolutely love those two at the top of the lineup and absolutely hate the rest of the lineup.

I've wanted Randall Simon on this team since the offseason, but still the problem is getting rid of pauly.

um... Catalanotto is a lefty and not a power hitter, he's a slap hitter, he'd be exactly the type of hitter the sox would need, but finding a spot for him would be the problem.

I like ozzie better then Manuel no doubt about it. But after watching this crap happen again this year, I realize I blamed far to much on Manuel.

I've always liked Benson also, his era this year is around 4.6 this year that scares me a little if he'd come to the american league, but I think a change of scenery for him and maybe coop would get him going a little bit. I'd prefer kenny get freddy garcia but it would be nice to get anybody. Still I think kenny's biggest job is going to be to sure up this offense and a lot of it using the addition by subtraction theory.
