QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 08:05 PM) ...and who did the Royals trade Jermaine Dye for? That's right, Grienke, Dejesus, and Alex Gordan. Oh wait a minute. They traded Dye for NEIFI PEREZ!!!! It would be interesting to see who was available with the draft picks they would have received if they had kept him.

Freddy has been good so far, I'm not confident of it lasting, a 4 or 5 spot here would be nice.Awfully nice.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 07:59 PM) It's not an excuse, its the truth. I don't make excuses for Podsednik, as I am one of the biggest advocators of getting a new leadoff man. If he's hurt, why the hell is he leading off and playing LF for a team trying to win another WS?

QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 07:57 PM) he had a real good month in may or june though... Its all about rythm. Once Pods finds his rythm, he will really take off.

QUOTE(PA32R @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 07:53 PM) "usually never" huh? Poor choice of words, make it rarely, and it is usually the opposition.

Obviously, Hawk doesn't think much of Freddy. He usually never gives a player a little jab like that. QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 07:51 PM) Seriously what the hell has given Pods this right to lazily run to 1st? He probably read Soxtalk in 2005 and believed everything he read.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 09:39 AM) It appears to me that Thome's absence has made the guys remember how to play again. Either that or the Baltimore and KC pitching staff.

What in the name of Fred Manrique is wrong with Jenks?

QUOTE(champ @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 10:23 PM) Elbow discomfort. Apparantly, nothing to be concerned about. Twins better hope that "nothing to be concerned about" doesn't mean what it means over in Cubbie land. Yeah, I don't know how, if your the Minnesota Twins, you wouldn't be concerned about elbow pain in Liriano. They have to be concerned about his long term health.

Buddy Bell must be sick of watching this crap from his staff.

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 10:12 PM) Just something to watch, boston has varitek on 15 DL, nixon out 3 weeks, wakefield able to come off 15 DL but they didn't activate him, lester not pitching as well. They still have many weapons but maybe they fall a little here. Also the liriano report today. Some good things today if we pull this out Not to throw any water on your fire, but Thome has back spasms and Konerko is getting x-rayed. That would trump any problems the Red Sox are having if those 2 aren't near 100% for a while.

OMG hit and run on 2 consecutive pitches.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 10:08 PM) How about a balk, wild pitch, and then a sac fly? You're Batman

Pods needs to go here. He's had 1 steal since the All Star break, and was picked off when he was very fortunately awarded a steal.

QUOTE(champ @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 10:04 PM) Riske proves that most of you have no idea what you're talking about. That's why its a good thing that your here, you can teach us.

Riske has been awesome.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 10:00 PM) Wow, how tall is Sandy? He's about 6'4". He's a huge guy. His legs are gigantic.

Riske still scares me.

Have they ever mentioned how bad Thome's back spasms are?

If Konerko is out for any amount of time, KW may kick himself for not sweetening the pot for Soriano.

Konerko getting xrayed. That would be a huge blow. Hopefully Thome's back spasms subside. This could be a dark day for the Sox.

Ozzie's a genius.

The Sox need a K here. Thornton has a much better chance at that than Riske. Will Ozzie play the infield in?

Please no Riske.

K please.
