QUOTE(mreye @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 10:07 AM) Anyone know what happened to him? It looks like he's not in the league anymore. He was on the raiders last year, did he get cut?

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 10:07 AM) It's the same principle. The GM knows very well that the White Sox would be putting these players on the ML waiver list for the SOLE purpose to complete a trade. They know if they put in a claim the CWS will just pull the player back. So TBD has no chance of getting the player & all they accomplish is wrecking trade relations with the two clubs. It would be assenine to do that. That's why I doubt there's much history of it ever happening. Yes, but you are ignoring the point of his argument. Chuck Lamarr could give two s***s about what anyone thinks of him and trading with him. He would block the trade to be ornery, or he would end up with a prospect. No loss for him, either way.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 09:59 AM) It seems pretty simple to you because you're negating the impact that will have on trade negotiations between the CWS & PIT. PIT knows they won't get BMac if they put in a claim because the CWS would just pull him back. But if they want to play the spoiler anyways then they risk good trade relations with the CWS. Considering the history of trades between the two clubs that would be a pretty stupid thing to risk on their part. I doubt very much that non-contenders take an active role in thwarting trades like that. If you have a historical reference suggesting otherwise lay it on us. So you would risk putting some of our best prospects through waivers, just on the assumption that the other GMs wont take them, based on some sort of good faith agreement between GMs? Thats insane Juggs, these prospects are good and cheap, any team would be foolish not to grab them if they are just sitting there, and the Sox would be foolish to put them out there to be scooped up.

I thought that the bullpen as a whole was pretty good last night, outside of Hermanson and Adkins. We could doubt Ozzies management of the bullpen, but he was managing for a win (Marte, Politte combining for 1 IP), and Hermanson blew it. I only wish we could have seen Jenks try and shut it down instead of Hermanson. Its time to figure out whats wrong with Hermanson and sit his ass until its right.

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 06:38 PM) Hopefully my full blown mono will be good luck! Took a nap and I'm still tired, yeah. my second semester of college provided me with the delightful virus mononucleosis. I cant tell you how great it is to sleep through 2 weeks of your life.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 03:18 PM) Just one more reason why i love college football way more than the NFL. I would agree with you if there wasnt such a thing as the BCS.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 03:32 PM) what about carl?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) Why must you do that? I think we have established by now that for the most part I'll use proper grammar but at times there will be a serious slip up and I'll do something stupid like that. If really want to find something wrong with my posts, just about every one contains a comma splice. eye dnt lyke wen U yuse unpropor grammer. It mkes mi mad.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:30 PM) His contract might cost more than what the columnists have mentioned: http://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com/2005_01_2...ts_archive.html KGJ: $116.5M/9 (00-08), $16.5M/09 opt ($4M buyout) 00-08:$12.5M/yr, deferred $$$: 00 $5.5M, 01-08: $6.5M The Reds haven't paid a dime of the deferred $$$ so the full $57.5M remains in the balance. That begins earning 4% tail end of 2008. The last payment of which is due by 2024 ($16.5M). That means $41M is owed from 2009-2023. The financial terms state specifically that $57.5M is deferred & will begin earning 4% interest after the WS in 2008. I believe that means a team claiming him off waivers would have been on the hook for all of it. So there's really $81M left to pay on that contract. I think the media has been assuming that the Reds would pick up $33M of it but from what I've read the contract isn't structured to where they are under any obligation to do so if KGJ is traded. LOL Juggs, rising above and beyond the bulls*** to present more numbers.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 01:55 PM) 3)Hawk needs to retire. He also needs to apologize for his statements on Mariotti yesterday. That's stirring the pot. The article Mariotti wrote had nothing to do with Hawk whatsoever and several other columnists and media outlets felt the same way as Mariotti, but I didn't see Hawk rip them. It's not stirring the pot, it's calling it like it is which apparently most people at Soxtalk hate to hear. Thats flat out ridiculous nite. When is the last time you heard Mariotti apologize for ripping on anyone. I doubt Hawk would stoop to apologizing to someone for ripping on him, who is doing the same thing through print.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) I was gonna put that in there two but thought the post would be too long winded with it. Long-winded and Peter Gammons pretty much go hand in hand

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 01:21 PM) I'm waiting for the Steve Phillips chat where he says that the trade has already gone through and are just waiting to announce the trade to the media. And at the same time the Peter Gammons chat which says all talks between the White Sox and Reds have broken off and that there will not be a trade. you forgot to add "And Gammons then reports that the Red Sox are now interested in acquiring Griffey as insurance, and Griffey never had a problem playing in Boston. 2 AA prospects probably will get it done."

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 01:16 PM) Chat the second... I love when ESPN's columnists and reporters contradict each other at the same time in opposite chats.

QUOTE(RDriesen @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 01:00 PM) you also cant over look what adding a guy like griffey would do for: A. the mentality of the team. you know it would pump them up and show them that management believes in them and wants to win. i think it would be a huge boost B. what he will do for the batters around him. you will see an improvement in their play imo. right now, griffey is just locked in. hes looking balls into the catcher, he is seeing the ball great. and his bat speed is getting back to what it used to be. hes ripped 2 opp field lasers for home runs in the last 2 games quit saying stuff like this! My emotions can only take so much!

QUOTE(dmbjeff @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) I hate this,"because they are in the same division crap". The KC Royals have no chance of competing on the same level as the rest of major league baseball unless they trade sweeney. The Pirates traded with the Cubs twice now in deadline deals in 03 and now in 05, so its not something that is uncommon. the old "Pittsburgh did it, why cant we?" reasoning. Pittsburghs GM is a total dips***, thats why. Pittsburgh has been consistently fleeced by Hendry, thats why. Because the Royals and Sox havent had a trade between them since the late 80's thats why. Because Sweeney is the face of their franchise, and trading him to the division leaders would be bad PR, thats why. You dont give a team in your division a leg up, just because they want it.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 12:43 PM) Hi. My name is Kev. LOL

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 12:37 PM) First of all, Mac, Jurko, and Harry rock. Second, how can the Score expect Hood to honor a 3-month no-compete clause if they canned him. I doubt that is accurate. Doubt it if you want steve, when i worked in radio we had to sign no-compete clauses. It is common. And J Hood didnt get canned, his contract ran out, huge difference. No-compete clauses are designed so hosts dont intentionally get canned and run to other stations immediately, and draw huge shock value ratings.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 12:07 PM) Even if we brought up some of the young outfielders Ozzie would keep them on the bench and start Timo. So what's the point of bringing them up? If you are referring to last night, its because brian anderson didnt join the team until 3 Pm yesterday. He didnt want the kid to play after traveling all day.

QUOTE(WSNS-TV44 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 11:59 AM) I've listen,and it's the same thing 1.Cubs 2.T.O. and his problems 3.The NBA (even in the offseason) I'm lucky if I hear anything positive on the Sox. You must be listening to 5 minute sportscenter updates then. Silvy and Carmen usually start the morning off on the White Sox, and Mac jurko and Harry pick it up after Dan Patrick is through.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 12:00 PM) Sorry, but who is Rad?? The rebirth of Scott Radinsky in the Sox bullpen!

QUOTE(WSNS-TV44 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 10:50 AM) I don't deal in Sports talk radio,ever. It's the Sox,and that's all.Unless AM radio starts playing rock and roll like in the '60's and 70's,the Sox is all I need on AM radio! you are missing out. I have really grown to appreciate the humor in AM sportstalk. There are alot of different hosts with alot of different approaches out there, you just have to find the one you like.

QUOTE(WSNS-TV44 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 11:46 AM) 1.Brett Farve and the Packers 2.The Patriots 3.The Red Sox 4.Duke Basketball You just listed his "model" teams. You forgot to add the Lakers, who he didnt really rip on much last year even though he had every chance to all year. Instead, Mariotti focused on how bad the Bulls were until it was apparent that they really werent bad. Also, the red sox are interchangeable with the Yankees. Mostly, he uses those 5 teams to compare all other teams to, and if they dont compare then Mariotti gets as personal as possible.
