Floyd just gave up a run..unacceptable.

AJ bales out Owens..2-0.

Infield fly...surprise, surprise.

QUOTE (kane0730 @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 02:26 PM) Bases drunk for Owens. What is he going to do? He can't bunt again.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 02:21 PM) ? It's DJ (sounds like him too!) My mistake...it just didn't really sound like him to me. Fields with an infield single? Hmm...

I just turned the game on the radio. Who is on the radio with Farmio...it doesn't sound like DJ.

This is probably a known fact, but how many years or arbitration does a player have before he is a FA? 2?

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jan 17, 2009 -> 02:14 PM) that was like the worst day of mylife It was probably one of Contreras' worse days as well...but for different reasons.

They are way off on some teams. The Twins always out perform their supposed lack of talent, and they still have Morneau and Mauer. The Marlins are going to challenge to win that division in my opinion. I don't remember who said it, but lots of people believe they have the best rotation in that division. The Sox probably won't be more than .500, but I cannot see them losing 90 games, even with the current roster.

Kyle Long is leaving FSU for a JuCo near Virginia, siting academic reasons. Looks like he maybe should have taken the money. http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/college/?p=698 I originally saw this story on Beyond the Box Score: http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2009/1/11/716856/kyle-long

Could be interesting. Has anyone seen who is pursuing either of these guys?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 5, 2008 -> 01:02 PM) KW isnt going to go into ST with 2 holes in the rotation and no leadoff hitter. I would normally agree with that...but all this cutting back talk is scaring me.

QUOTE (striker62704 @ Nov 21, 2008 -> 04:49 PM) How do you figure? Sox free up $30mil from the books. They sign, say, Frucal and Lowe. So you are looking at Dye, Jenks, Vazquez for Frucal, Lowe, Pelfrey, Heilman and Murphy. Not bad if you ask me. Also, I am under the belief they are trying to cut payroll. I don't see any big time FA coming.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 21, 2008 -> 04:39 PM) That's not just highway robbery; that is Kenny Williams driving into the worst neighborhood in town, finding a thug on the side of the road, stopping, getting out, offering the keys, presenting him with the title to the car, then sucking off the guy in the back seat and waving good-bye to him as he pulls off. Quite a visual there.

I think I saw someone else post this as a thought...but could the Sox try to trade these older vets to get some prospects that the O's would want for Roberts? Is this possible?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 21, 2008 -> 04:13 PM) Levine just commented that the Sox are definitely looking at Martinez and Pelfrey as the return. Well then I definitely don't believe it. We are getting Heilman for sure now.

Definitely worth the risk....the future is looking brighter and brighter on the South Side.

Like everyone has already said...need to make Kazmir throws lots of pitches. Hopefully our 2 lefties going the next 2 games can neutralize them a little bit. Time to man-up.

John eff'n Danks was a man tonight. Thome with the big stick! Bring it Rays and your stupid cowbells!!!

Hammer time.

QUOTE (SoCalSouthSider59 @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 04:45 PM) Here comes another stolen base.......... Book it.

No Walks!

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 04:33 PM) Dear Sox, Felix Diaz is wearing a Freddy Garcia mask on the mound. Yes its Felix Diaz and not game 4 winner Freddy on the mound. You can in fact crush the meatball. Unfortunately we struggle against soft tossers like Freddy.

QUOTE (Bhay99 @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 04:30 PM) obvious that the tigers are all looking to add to their HR totals.... We can make Sheff really mad by hitting him all day. He probably really wants to get to 500.
