My favorite part in all of them is after Swisher does the worm and Hawk says "Dye with the catch, Swisher with the worm, I CANT STAND IT." Haha.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 11:51 PM) Quentin is the only Sox worthy starter, A-Rod's getting hot again and Gavin won't be making it ahead of Lee, Marcum, Halladay, Santana, Kazmir, etc. I hope you mean, only one worthy of starting. I mean, Q, Crede, AJ, Danks, Linebrink, and Bobby are all worthy of making the team. They won't because of stupid rules, but they are all doing well enough to make it.

Owens would be the smartest, but Cook would be my favorite just so I can see this kid play.

Is it just me, or do you think Buehrle should be throwing over right now? I mean, runners are moving, and Buehrle has great pickoff move. Why not pick em off?

Sounds like what Konerko had, and we saw that didn't work out well for us. I am fine with Q getting 2-3 days off and letting Anderson play CF. We can't afford to have a bad Q.

Thank god Cook got called up. All I hear is that he is wayy to old for the minors. So then put him in the league closest to make him "not that old". How old is Cook anyway? 26? Dosen't seem that old to me if he can make the major league roster next season at 27. It would so sweet if we could trade Thome, Konerko, or Dye this offseason to make room for Cook to play CF if he were to continue his tear through the minors at AAA.

It would be nice to see if Poreda were to dominate, start in AAA next season, and make a September call up in 2009 with 2010 getting a roster spot.

So i guess GoBe had 2 HR today. Can anyone retrieve some video on these shots?

QUOTE (OilCan @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 06:59 PM) Don't forget that Paulie has that 5/10 status that he can veto any trade. And as a previous poster said, Votto in Cincy is holding up very nicely. I doubt that Cincy would ask for another 1b since their prize prospect is doing pretty good. If anything, Cincy would probably ask for front-line pitching and an OF prospect(s) for Griff....if he would also agree to this too. You and Bobdylan did the same thing SSI did. Re-read my post. It was not proposing Konerko to Cincy.

QUOTE (stretchstretch @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 12:28 PM) No you don't seem to understand. The Yankee Red Sox rivalry is the most important rivalry in the history of planet earth, the lives of all americans and citizens of the world hang in the balance. And when they are not playing, the Mets and Phillies have a similar impact on our collective futures. I mean before 2004 the RedSox hadn't won the world series in 87 years but somehow At least with the Yankees, Ohio State, Notre Dame, USC, UCLA, Celtics, Lakers, etc there are larger than life winning traditions to back it up, but the RedSox we all got taken along for the ride, and the revenue they've gained from it has allowed them to be self fulfilling prophecy That's why I said "interleague".

That was quick. Now get his ass into Great Falls.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 12:45 PM) I missed the spinning of Konerko as I glanced over your xbox trade. Sorry for the inconvenience. Carry on. Xbox blows. This b**** is strickly PS3.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 12:38 PM) Have you heard of Joey Votto, the current Reds first baseman. The guy hitting .282 with 10 homers. Also let me introduce you to Alonso, their number 1 draft pick who also plays first. So why exactly would Konkero make sense for them. Plus I dont want Griffey. He would most likely break something in CF and would be worthless to us. Have you heard of reading the post before replying?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 11:34 AM) IIRC, Chris Young was one of the main players involved in the package. I wouldn't have a problem picking up Griffey, but it should be noted that he'd probably be worse in CFer than Swisher (whose been more than solid). Also, until Paulie starts hitting, you probably aren't going to get good value for him (you could probably get a good prospect, but nothing top notch). Heck, I would have no problem dealing Paulie, but the reality is the Sox are going to have Paulie/Thome in there lineup for at least this season and we have to hope that they can put things together and than this off-season, the Sox can look at making some adjustments in that area if they are interested in doing so. We just really need to see Thome or Konerko go. I also would not mind seeing Thome traded for a CF. Move Dye to DH, move Swisher to LF, Q to RF (with his cannon arm), and slot in that new CF. Or Thome for a 2B. Again Dye to DH, Swish to LF, Q to RF, Alexei to CF.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 11:32 AM) I would rather trade for Hamilton. Buehrle for Hamilton. Get it done!

Finally the best interleague rivalry gets put on TV. I am sick of the Yankees or Red Sox on ESPN 4 days a week.

Well, also, I am thinking we can get more value back for Konerko, then it would cost to get Griffey. So say we get 2 good prospects for Konerko, it might only cost 1 of those good ones, and a low level one of ours to get him. So essentially, we could be getting Griffey + a decent prospect for Konerko, which I would do.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 11:57 AM) where would he play? haha i had to....i just couldnt resist CF.

I really feel we need to dump Konerko off on someone, and we need a CF if we can do that. I hope Konerko starts to heat up a little bit, and then we can trade him to a team for a few prospects. Then we can spin a couple of those prospects and maybe 1 or 2 of our own to the Reds for Ken Griffey Jr. I know the Reds are looking to trade Griffey, and it would be nice to get him. Our lineup potentially 1) Cabrera 2) AJ 3) Q 4) Griffey 5) Thome 6) Dye 7) Crede 8) Swisher 9) Alexei That's a pretty good lineup. Another idea would be to trade Konerko for prospects, and then use those to try and net someone to play 2B, and move Alexei to CF. Ryan Freel maybe.

The answer, unfortunately, is Cubs fans. This is because its more "popular" to be a Cubs fan and the hott blonde chicks like Blue and White better than Black and White which is more "rough" colors. Look at every hott girl, they own an iSuck, a Blackberry/Razor, and they are a Cubs fan. The smarter girls are Sox fans.

When does the season end for Georgia? Isn't the college world series the end of the season?

So lets say we sign Beckham, Danks, Morel all pretty soon. When is the earliest they can start in our minors? Do they have to wait until next year, or could, say, Beckham be placed in Great Falls or W-S or wherever next month?

Wow. Great catch by Dye. That is almost exactly like the commercial where there are 2 outs in the 9th, and Dye makes the sliding catch to end the game.

Im a THOUROUGHLY suprised that no one has "Batter up" by Nelly. Seriously. This song and "Summertime" by Sublime are sweet baseball songs... Batter Up - http://www.imeem.com/skanye21/music/3OvXwB...tics_batter_up/ Summertime - http://www.imeem.com/people/P3shSN/music/p...ime_summertime/
