QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 09:27 AM) Not really. They clearly didnt want to mail it in and thats understandable. Quentin and Thornton were being heavily shopped and honestly I heard a deal was close for Q, but obviously the value wasnt there so they didnt bite. I expect this offseason will be the end of Q and most likely a starter so Sale and Stewart can move into the rotation. Quentin's value was higher last month then it will be this offseason. Agree about the rotation. I think Danks is gone as well.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 09:15 AM) They have a replacement at a fraction of the cost, and with their payroll issues, they pretty much have to look at it. I would be shocked if at least one starter didn't get dealt as well. Yep. Which again, makes this year's deadline such a joke.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 08:22 AM) Like it or not...because of the economics of baseball, you have to be. Even when your boss, the GM says you don't?

Trade John Danks to FLA for Logan Morrison + a decent pitching prospect.

The fact that Viciedo is not in RF tonight is beyond defensible.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 01:26 PM) Quentin hasn't seemed effective in a while, hitting 4 for his last 26. Offday for him is needed. He just had an off day 3 days ago.

Humber has no business starting the rest of this season and certainly NOT in a game of this magnitude. ENJOY HUMBER'S DEAD ARM TRIBE! Prediction: CLE 7 SOX 2

Beckham and Santos ...etc. all have the same at-home geek choke disease.

Time for the Beckham one-handed flail swing down and away...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 10:36 PM) Most of the time I would agree, but this is the type of game the Sox have blown all year, especially when they get to the .500 mark. A win may give them a spark. Sox with 4 triples tonight. I hope you're right.

Flowers is such a boon to this team. It's his time now.

Wow. Quite a 9th inning effort by the boys. Truly inspired effort there.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 10:32 PM) A walk off win could do wonders for this team. For the rest of the night maybe. Carry-over to tomorrow such a myth, IMO.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 10:29 PM) It's not though...he got Hafner with two sliders there. His fastball is so straight, it's the only prayer hitters have against him. It only took him 4 lefty hitters over 20 pitches to find it...

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 10:27 PM) Worthless pile of dung. I sighed when he came into centerfield. Because this year he's not good at, you know, playing centerfield. It's AMAZING with Rios and Dunn. They have literally cursed this team. Every time they have any kind of chance to help, they fail. EPIC FAIL.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 10:26 PM) Beckham's lucky he bobbled that, as the runner would have been safe at home. What an absolutely TERRIBLE decision by him. Hey Flowers, stop calling for fastballs! That's all Sergio can throw to Lefty hitters.

Chokey pokey by Santos. Could see this coming all night. Santos can't pitch to lefties and they have a ton of them. One after another. And Sale sits on the bench.

WALKS WALKS WALKS WALKS WALKS KILL.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 10:23 PM) He's our closer. Really? I've never heard Ozzie say that.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 10:23 PM) I like our hitting tonight, but I can't believe we can't complete the deal at home. Believe it. The bullpen is pathetic at home. PATHETIC. Look it up.

And Rios can't make the play. Santos crapped his pants and the game is tied.

OZZIE SANTOS CANT PITCH TO LEFT HANDED HITTERS!! NO SLIDER!

Santos is crapping his pants again.

Seriously, Carrera is gonna take 2nd like soon.

You walk this dude and it's a double!
