That seemed to hang up in the air while Pods slowly jogged towards it.

Nice try on that pitch.

If that was Mack who got it on a hop we'd see 10 posts on how Brian would have caught it.

QUOTE(zygoat @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 04:47 PM) i would take him. Hawkins has great stuff and could be the 6th-7th inning man for Vaz. As long as there are no pressure situations (aka cubs) then he can coast through these guys. The reason that he sucks is he cant handle pressure. KW get him if you can Wow

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 03:53 PM) He basically called you out along with everyone else with your way of thinking. I didn't realize Hawk Harrelson posted on this board.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 03:17 PM) Just settle down and think positively. How does it matter if I think positively or not? It's the team I am worried about. I don't know if we're watching the same team but the Sox I've been watching look tired and could have used some help in a few areas. Whether I am positive or not won't help the team's chances.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 03:16 PM) ok? and our record is horrible this year? No but we aren't the front runners to get a spot in the post season. We had some holes to fill and did nothing to address them.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 03:14 PM) Did you say the same thing last year when all we did was get Blum? And again when Cleveland was catching us? THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!!!!! We had the best record in baseball.

Well at least they won't be so distracted on the field. They'll probably win 35 straight now.

Well this seems to have been a waste of my afternoon. Hope Kenny is enjoying 'Weekend at Bernie's 2' or whatever the hell he's watching.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:54 PM) Yeah, we are done. *sigh*

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:42 PM) 15 minutes left. Not looking good if you were hoping the Sox would grab an impact player.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:38 PM) Please please please trade javy Kenny. Please. Perhaps if we all simultaneously prayed it would work. I'm willing to try anything at this point.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:34 PM) 29 minutes left before we realize the horror that the team will still be the same, and our pitching is still the same. HAWK: "I'll tell you what fiesty. Sometimes the best trade is the one that wasn't made. I'll take our chances with our horses." DJ: "I'm right there with you partner."

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:20 PM) It seems that everyone in baseball has figured out that Vazquez is overrated. I still don't think we'll be able to get rid of him in the offseason without having to take very little in return. Addition by subtraction.

For any techno fans here is a link to a mix that I just made. The link has a tracklist as well. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LN8AXRQ5

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 01:50 PM) Friggin heavy, aint it? That will be cool... 2 Soxtalkers winning Make that 3.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 12:38 PM) Fudge For real. Can't wait to hear Hawk tonight say how it would have been stupid to make any moves as this team will be unstoppable once they get it going.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers acquired first baseman Sean Casey from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday in exchange for minor-league pitcher Brian Rogers. Casey, a career .304 hitter, gives the AL Central-leading Tigers the left-handed-hitting presence they have lacked as they head toward a playoff berth. Casey hit .296 (63-for-213) with 15 doubles, three home runs and 29 RBI in 59 games this season with Pittsburgh. Rogers, 24, went 3-2 with one save and a 2.39 ERA in 37 relief appearances this season with Double-A Erie of the Eastern League. He was Detroit's 11th round selection in the 2003 draft from Georgia Southern University. To make room for Casey, Detroit optioned the contract of first baseman Chris Shelton to Triple-A Toledo. Shelton hit 10 home runs in the month of April -- nine in the first 13 games -- but has hit only six since. He is batting .277 with 16 homers and 45 RBI in 103 games this season.

QUOTE(dmbjeff @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 09:46 AM) He isn't worth Soriano or Tejada to most people here, so who is he worth? I think most people are opposed to trading pitching for offense.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:10 AM) Well, last night could not have gone any more smoothly. I didn't get there til 5:25 and I thought I'd be late for everything and screwed. NOPE. I walked right in, there was no line, went to the table where they give you a wristband which determines what time you get to go on the field. We opted for the 7:00-7:25 slot. Grabbed two beers and got into the food line becasue the food was not ready yet. At about 5:45, the kitchen gates went up and the food was ready. We ate until about 6:00. Visited a few gift shops, the press room, the visitor's clubhouse and the Scout seats lounge. I was surprised at how small the visitor's clubhouse is, the press room was fun. At about 6:55 we headed over to the 'elephant gates' in CF and they let us onto the field. You can go anywhere except the infield. I took my flip flops off and took in the grass. We took a ton of pictures and left the field at 7:25. Headed back to the patio area, grabbed more food and two more beers. Left at about 7:50. Nothing was too crowded and everything was well organized. GREAT TIME! By the way, there was a guy who was asking people who only had invites and not tickets to stand in another line. I'm not sure what they did with those people, maybe they got in after all. I'm sorry some of you didn't get to go and that Thursday night was kind of a mess, but I thought this thread could use some positivity. I had a good time as well. One comment though about the scout seats lounge. It was so nice compared to other parts of the park yet it reminded me of the lower level concourse at Pac Bell. You'll see generic 13" TVs scattered all over USCF yet the scout seat lounge has nice plasma TVs broadcasting in HD. While at Pac Bell last weekend there were dozens of plasma screens all over the concourse broadcasting the game in HD. Was a very nice touch. I will admit that our park looks a whole lot better since it's early years but when comparing it to the elite stadiums it still comes off as sort of cheap when it comes to the attention to detail.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 08:28 AM) That reminds me, I've meant to ask this question recently... Who is the #3 catcher on the team, in the event one is needed? That one day after Widge was released and they weren't sure if Alomar would make it in for the game, I was wondering who would play if AJ got hurt. Ozuna I believe.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 08:24 AM) Bowden may be coming to his senses after all; If he has then I wouldn't mind seeing Kenny get back into the mix.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 10:30 PM) Jermaine Dye is quickly shooting up the ranks as one of my favorite Sox players of all time. ^^^^^^^^ Perhaps it's time for me to bust out my old Spiderman sig.
