QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 04:10 PM) Did I just see a little nip in that Sex and the City commercial?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 03:58 PM) He won't. Oz already said Pablo and Anderson are in. He's just f'ing with us. He knows there's no way they play tomorrow.

Who else do you think would be in the market for Iguchi?

I can't wait until he copies Richard Jeni. Please be soon.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 23, 2007 -> 10:32 PM) Doesn't really effect me, I have DirecTV. Same here, but I don't know how I feel about it. I have both the NFL Sunday Ticket and Extra Innings, which will both remain with Directv. I guess it's that it feels like an anchor holding me with Directv. It's not that I have a problem with them, but I would like to have a choice.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 21, 2006 -> 01:50 PM) Craig can not play CF so who's Anderson's backup? Is Willie Harris available?

The best thing about the 2005 White Sox is that they finished the deal. Look at the 2006 Tigers as an example. While last year kinda sucked, you can't take away 2005, ever.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Dec 17, 2006 -> 09:38 PM) Rios can play CF or RF. He could start in CF for the Sox in 2007 and move to RF in 2008 if Dye leaves. F that, can he play LEFT field?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Dec 8, 2006 -> 02:24 AM) If he ever hit free agency, he's a player I'd want the Sox to throw billions of dollars at. Or they could toss it.

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Dec 8, 2006 -> 04:41 PM) sounds good. hopefully we can have a solid 1-2-3 punch in Thorton, Macdougal and Jenks for a long time. Now we need to figure out the bottom 3... i dunno about you guys but Aardsema, Floyd, and Haegar just isn't appealing to me. Lets at least get 1 more veteran for down there. Keith Foulke

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Oct 24, 2006 -> 07:44 PM) Has Uribe ever played 3B? I'm sure he'd be willing to give it a shot.

I'd prefer A's, but it's an uphill battle now. I thought Zito vs. Robertson was the only matchup where they had the pitching advantage. The only good thing about the Tigers getting to and winning the World Series is that Dmitri Young won't get a ring. That is unless they give him one anyway like the Red Sox gave Nomar one.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Oct 10, 2006 -> 12:45 AM) Steinbrenner has only two choices now: He can fire Torre or trade A-Rod. They’re the ones who must answer to the Yankees’ consistent underachievement. By all accounts, The Boss already has decided it’s Torre who’ll go, ready to replace him with Lou Piniella Couldn't (or shouldn't) he do both?

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 30, 2006 -> 08:47 PM) Okay, who does Boston have to replace Crisp in CF? No one. They're in the same position as us. Prospects mean nothing, they're trying to win now because that's the window. They could throw a bunch of money at Torri Hunter. They've also used Wily Mo Pena there, as scary as that is. As far as the question of who WILL be leading off, not who I want to lead off, I also believe it will be Juan Pierre.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 30, 2006 -> 02:41 AM) Well he made $3M on the Red Sox this year so that's where you start at. He's 30 years old and plays excellent defense at a very important defensive position he has some definate injury concerns (missed 120 games in '02, ~30 games in '05 and ~50 games this season) so that's not good. He's crazy inconsistant at the dish but usually posts a batting average in the .225-.255 range and an OBP around .300 which is pretty horrible. He has displayed some good power in the past (18 HR in '03, 23 HR in '04) but doesn't seem to have a knack for driving in runs and seems to enjoy striking out (100K 4 times). He's likely going to make $2.5M - $3M next season. IMO, he's really no better than Uribe. I knew he wasn't an offensive guy or a speed guy, but I didn't realize how injury prone he is. It comes down to the devil you know, I guess.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Sep 30, 2006 -> 02:23 AM) Ozzie's man crush. Was it Ozzie who called him "The most underrated/best shortstop in the AL"? The kid's definitely great (with the glove, anyway). I don't mean it as a smartass thing either, but does anyone have an idea of what he could/would demand for salary?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 30, 2006 -> 01:49 AM) But, who honestly is a guy we can acquire who's actually a better value than Uribe, when taking everything into consideration (what we'd give up, the contract of the new guy). I know Rollins seems to be the God-child so far, but is he really a better value than Uribe, Fields, and Broadway (just a guess on the package)? Is he worth that, plus the couple million difference in salaries? Alex Gonzalez (Red Sox) will be a free agent. How much do you think he will demand?

Clemens facing New York in the World Series?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 26, 2006 -> 12:03 AM) AT LEAST WE OUTDREW THE TWINS THIS YEAR. and played better than the Cubs

Who wants to bet that Ozzie plays a pretty much everyday lineup tomorrow?

QUOTE(SinkingShip06 @ Sep 23, 2006 -> 07:42 PM) you dont' sound like a homer. you sound like someone who knows nothing about sports. or math

Anyone else see the irony that if the game had been officially forfeited, the score would be 9-0?

Red Sox and Yankee fans are the flip side of the same coin. The fact that most Red Sox fans don't see this makes it all the more amusing to me. (I know that there are exceptions with some individuals. I am speaking of the fan bases as a whole.)

Where could I send a sympathy card? C/O White Sox?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 10:17 AM) Ah, the world of baseball is as it should be again...the team with the most money is in the playoffs. fixed. Number 1 is in, but 2 (Red Sox), 3 (Angels), and 4 (White Sox ) are not. At least as far as payroll goes.
