QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:21 PM) There's no way the Sox got "fleeced," they're 30 games over .500, have a 11 1/2 game lead, and one of the main reasons is Pods. This is the "fantasy" effect on baseball. Just look at the players individual numbers and judge them on those alone

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) I don't want carlos back on this team, but Ben Sheets that's another story!!!!!!! I was just making a sarcastic point, sans green font.

QUOTE(bigred3535 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) I don't know if anyone has mentioned this in any of the numerous Overbay threads, but I'd be more than willing to go for this deal if the Sox could get Derrick Turnbow as part of it. He'd be a fantastic bullpen addition, almost to the same degree as Wagner, especially since Turnbow is younger and, in all likelyhood, more easily re-signeable. Right, and while we are taking their best players, we can go ahead and trade for Ben Sheets and Carlos Lee too!

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:11 PM) When sox season is over and it is bear season , that s*** won't be cute anymore. Whoa Mr intolerance, backerdown now....We deal with scattered fans of other teams(benchwarmerjim comes to mind), whats the big deal?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:11 PM) That could be a sign that a lot of trades are gonna go down, no? this is what we keep telling ourselves.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:55 PM) Yikes.. http://www.boston.com/ae/music/gallery/bad_album_covers/ I dont know where you find all these great links Steff, but keep em coming. I had that "Ken, by request" album cover as my desktop for months i thought it was so funny.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:32 PM) Well even after us being owned so much recently we still have the better record vs them so there had to be times when we totally dominated them 2 and it was still a rivalry than. Sure, the bears owned the 80's vs the packers. The Packers flipped the script on us since about 91. Im kind of hazy on Bears history before the year i was born(78), but I know it was pretty back and forth decade to decade.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:44 PM) You read that site? Maller is an idiot. Its a rumor site. he gathers rumors from most major and local papers. i dont really read any of his takes, im just reading the rumors.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:41 PM) Oh my goodness. This place is going to be a complete trainwreck if Kenny doesn't make a single move at the dealine. :unplugs laptop in preparation :takes all pointy objects away from Armchair GMs gimme my pencil back damnit!

QUOTE(dmbjeff @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:38 PM) What else is he gonna say, just start making up rumors.....um, yeah i think the sox will get scott rolen or some other bulls*** trade that wont ever happen "If you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all"

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Phil rogers basically read benmaller.com outloud in vague terms. I want those 7 minutes of my life back.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) All I hear is the Cubs game... On the score?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) Ha, anyone wanna bet he tells us absolutely nothing new, and that the few things he says will be vague with no real hard evidence that a trade will happen soon? i like my money, no thanks

Twins lose 6-3 to the Yankees in a rubbermatch. 11.5 game lead.

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 01:00 PM) So you don't like when we get those PACKERS SUCK chants walking down the ramps do you......HAHAHA oh yea and PACKERS SUCK Do you think the Royals fans have been chanting "The Sox suck" everytime they see the Sox? If they did, with the Sox current 10-2 record against them, would it even f***ing matter? Im a huge bears fan, but the Bears have been pwned by the packers going on 13 years, and until that changes your chants of "Packers suck" and "Fudge Packer" remarks are more or less pathetic. You gotta walk the walk before you talk the talk, and the Packers have been walking the walk ALL OVER THE BEARS for quite some time.

You cant forget Jagerbomb/Dr Pepper shots.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 01:18 PM) f*** you Rosenhaus. That guy is a POS. He insists that he doesnt tell his clients to hold-out, but yet most of his clients stage hold-outs. I read somewhere that Anquan boldin's original agent is suing because Rosenhaus stole his client.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 01:59 PM) I just read the Reds are asking for a 3 player pkg with no less than a #3 starter for Dunn. Sheesh! What are they smoking in Cincy? I dunno, I guess the market for a low average, high OBP, high strikeout, high homer guy is pretty big right now. I have found that there is no middle ground with Dunn, people either think he is great or dont like him at all(as a player). Im one of the unimpressed. I think his high K rate and low BA outweigh his high OBP, but I think I am in the minority. The Cubs fans are jonesin' for him bigtime though, they think his high OBP will somehow lead to more runs being scored, but fail to recognize that he is the one to be driving the runs in, not the one to be driven in.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 11:52 AM) Goodenow had to resign, he just got the s*** kicked out of him in this. He screwed up BIG TIME by underestimating the resolve of the owners. Well, when your negotiating point it "There will be no salary cap" and at the end there is a salary cap, you kind of lose the trust of your union. This is no surprise though, there have been alot of people calling for his and bettmans head throughout the whole lockout, Bettman came out on top(sort of, at the expense of one year) and he probably will be hailed for saving hockey in 10 years...if his new CBA works out as designed.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 11:47 AM) With the Yankees being so desperate for pitching, I think we could get a little more. I don't know exactly what that is, but we could get more and probably should to hurt their chances a little. I thought Gordon was supposed to be DLed soon because of shoulder problems? It seems odd that the Sox would want him if he is known to have been overworked last year, and having shoulder problems this year. Sounds like the New York media throwing s*** out there and seeing what could be done.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 11:42 AM) Man, I can remember when this guy was supposed to team with ARod in Seattle to give the best young 1-2 punch in history, and was then one of hte highest regarded players traded by Seattle when they tried to make a pennant run. I also remember that Lou Piniella never wanted to give the kid a chance, and he was rotting on the bench in Seattle. Getting traded probably was one of the best things that ever happened to him, and he just never stayed anywhere long enough to make an impact. I thought he was going to be good if he was able to stay in one place long enough, but sadly this was never to be.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 11:45 AM) Betteman next? I doubt it, Bettman got what he wanted didnt he? He got his salary cap, even though it cost him a season.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 11:17 AM) That's fine, to each his own. I get a feeling, based on the $$$ they made from that record, things won't be changing. I completely agree with that.
