this slump will never end...

this is a big game. we can't let minny tie us. buehrle needs to come out of his slump, sox need to win... and then a streak needs to begin. ps, detroit is beating cleveland.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 09:56 AM) We'd have Zito for 2 months. They'd have Sweeney for 6 years. 'Nuf said. sweeney really does help us win the world series this year too...

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 08:47 AM) Steve, a simple book that Billy Beane didn't write will never have any effect on if Kenny will deal with Beane or not. true true true... rent Zito... ship of Garcia or Vazquez (I say Vazquez) start winning... postseason, rings, rum... what a dream, right?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 08:44 AM) I read Moneyball and the story for one thing was not as derrogatory towards KW that is was reported to be. Since the book came out, while they haven't done any more deals, they have discussed deals. If there was no discussion, did Olney just make this up then? And if they aren't going to trade with each other because of Moneyball, why did you make a thread about it? Gee, Dick, as I said in the original post... "Just throwing this out there" for interested parties.

QUOTE(SoxPride56 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 08:40 AM) Could the 3rd team be the Mets? We trade Garcia/Vazquez to the Mets? A's trade Zito to the Sox? A's get the 2 rumored guys from the Mets that we were going to get? I don't see why the Mets wouldn't just take Zito instead of our DOGSHlT pitchers.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 08:39 AM) There are no KW/Billy Beane issues that would ever prevent them dealing with each other. Despite being called a liar by a soxtalk "insider" a couple years ago when I reported KW's main target was Tim Hudson, KW later came out and said no one had called Beane more on any of his "big 3". Whether Olney's report is true or not, and whether if it is true there is much of a chance of it happening is another thing. I'm guessing you did not read "Moneyball," or else you would know what I am talking about, Dick.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 12:08 AM) Wow. You know, that almost hurt my internet feelings. That Ray Durham sig is one of the best I've ever seen... does that make you feel better?

Just said on ESPN Radio, no word on what the third team would be. I don't see it happening because of the KW/Billy Beane issues, but just throwing it out there.

QUOTE(Sam @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 10:21 PM) Meh... I looked all over for that little logo in the bottom left corner, and when I couldn't find it, I took the one out of yours. Be positive, yours was so good, I decided to base mine off of your masterpiece. just giving you a hard time bro.

if I were soxfan1, i would say you ripped off my idea... because thats what he said when i made a grinder rule sig... that i ripped off HIS idea... what a tool. i love your sig... its perfect. actually, upon second look, the fact that your sig is the exact same dimensions as mine, as wel as the exact placement of the re-sized us cellular logo... you did rip mine off! please, take requests... it doesnt matter that you ripped off somoene else!

here comes the tease.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:52 PM) this is even worse than last year really?? this is worse than when we won the World Series??? SHOCKER!

whoever put in swear filters truly, truly RUINED soxtalk.

f.u.c.k. CHRIST this team is done.

the tough calls seem to be going to minny... getting tired of this.

Laz Diaz is a piece of f.u.c.k.i.n.g. s.h.i.t.

I'm in... it's on!! First round pick, Ahmad Merritt

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 09:58 AM) Of course this is silly... everyone knows Chavez is Crede's replacement..

...suggested trading Joe Crede to Washington in a potential Soriano deal because "this young kid Josh Fields is ready to play." Has anyone seen Fields' bat-speed? Joe Crede is hopefully going to be a White Sox lifer, and Josh Fields is clearly not ready to play the hot corner for a championship-caliber (hopefully.) Plus, think before you speak Sean... the Nats have Ryan Zimmerman, a 24 year old kid who kills the ball playing 3rd base for them.

i think its between leyland, leyland, leyland, or leyland.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 08:40 PM) Still a quality start, and he's only thrown 80+ pitches. f.u.c.k. that.

hey ozzie... here's a fishing idea. this motherfisher dominates innings 1-5... then pull him and put in b-mac... because he's going to get shelled in the 6th. ITS NOT A PATTERN, ITS A DEFINITION.

what a price...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 02:28 PM) Just thinking for a second, if the Sox are getting a reliever back in the deal with Washington, I think you have seen the end of Freddy Garcia or Javy Vazquez in Chicago. It means Brandon slides into the rotation with McDougal taking his place in the pen as a set up man from the right side. This could be interesting. but b-mac would be the key part of the washington deal...
