if maggs is gonna be out 1 - 2 months I think we should think about acquiring a bat.. I dont know how hard it would be to get steve Finley from Arizona, but I mean were gonna need something for this stretch were going into here because it will kill us to fall back far without Maggs.. Finley could play RF while Willie stays in CF... that would be nice, and then when Maggs come back Uribe can play 3rd, Willie at 2nd, Fin in CF and Maggs back in right which would help us tremendously

Willie Harris .323 avg 13 RBI's 23 Runs 8 SB .384 OBP Alfonso Soriano .281 avg 32 RBI's 21 Runs 5 SB .324 OBP Not much argument there... Harris is having a better season so far and if it remaind he belongs in the All Star Game ahead of Soriano Oh yeah.. Soriano has 7 HR's and Harris has 0 and the RBI's may be lopsided but Harris leads off and Soriano is batting 3rd... If Willie was batting 3rd im sure hed have just as many RBI's due to his AVG

so i guess every closer except Gagne is bad then

shut up... Billy hasnt been bad

I dont know about that one because he had a pretty big lead

you should... he choked big time

haha i know but Smarty Jones had it in the bag... I dont know what happened.. He was so far ahead and then it was gone... all at the last second too

Little update... Smarty Jones chokes when he had the win, sad sad

I think the game is on FOX at 3:05 At least I hope it is so I can watch the damn game on TV insted of on cbssportsline.com

If were going to go acquire a pitcher it might as well be a good one and not just someone who can get the job done.. Our record could be greatly improved if we would have had a good pitcher in the 5th spot for us

So? Thats his job.. to play defense at his posistion and he did.... Are you going to give Crede credit for the save now???????????

Yes.. im a moron for liking Koch I guess that makes you a genious for not liking him Either way... you b**** when he blows a save and you b**** even more when he gets a save trying to say the defense saved his ass Where was the defense the other night when Sandy let that ball go by and Rowand just completely MISSED that ball in the outfield?

Do you always have to be a douchebag about this?? Cant you just give credit to Koch for getting the save insted of saying thanks to Crede "saving his ass"? This is pathetic

People on our team have seen Koch perform.. even if it wasnt on our team that doesnt matter... we know it can be done, weve seen it

I didnt know 2 blown saves meant you sucked... you dont see people in Anaheim lobbying to trade Percivals sorry ass away and his ERA is worse than Koch... that must mean he sucks right

You can be a fan but the fact remains no matter how much you b**** about Koch JR isnt gonna look at this board and say "Oh man, look these kids who know nothing about running a baseball team think Koch needs to be gone.. Better do what they say" its not happening

True True.. too bad Ozzie wasnt around then or maybe it could have happened... either way Koch is our closer.. and until he does something that warrants him to be removed from closer, which he hasnt so far, then i am supporting him

why dont you wait to see how it all is at the end of the year and not a quarter in... you dont know whats gonna happen and I can guarantee your all gonna look stupid as hell if Koch finishes with 40 Saves an era below 2.50 but then again it could go the other way around and backfire on me.... you never know, but again... your b****ing does nothing since you have absoloutley NO PULL WHATSOEVER WITH WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CHICAGO WHITE SOX ORGANIZTAION.. I dont know how to get that through to you

my bad... when you said Big Mo i thought that meant Olivo and btw... im pretty sure Foulke would have been gone no matter what

and if Koch wouldnt have had that first bad outing this year his era would be like 2.70 with a great whip and all that Its been posted already.. go find it if you feel like it

Look... Koch is our closer So b**** all you want, but next time theres a save opportunity Koch WILL be out there to get the save...

Why?? So we have NO CLOSER because Foulke sure as hell wouldnt still be here.. No Foulke, no Cotts, No Koch, No Olivo If you would give anything to have that trade re done then you must have something wrong with you

Koch doesnt suck... your opinion doesnt make that true 7 saves in 9 chances... that is not a bad ratio..

haha... great stuff

The All Star game IS a joke.. The fans should have NO SAY in who goes to the all star game.. It needs to be based on individual statistics.. those who are having seasons deserving of all star status should be on the all star team second, every team should not be required to have a representative.. Oh wow, the Pirates send Mike Williams and his 5.75 ERA! Yeah thats a slap in the face of all stars everywhere.. If your team doesnt have someone who is deserving to be an all star then sorry... better start making smarter choices, maybe thats why your team is in last place.. and again... I think the game needs to be at the end of year to determine the TRUE all stars and not people who start hot then fizzle off to nothing by years end... just some suggestions that could help the ole mid summer classic
