Yep just called. Its bull.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:37 PM) are they talking about it or what??? Nope Im about to call them.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:36 PM) Yeah, but I feel like he offers the team something, even if we had to use him in lower-leverage situations. I am just really afraid Youk will offer us absolutely nothing. It all depends on how much money we get if this is even legit. I have no idea if it is.

QUOTE (rackemup @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:34 PM) if you go to the twitter page from the radio station, it is spelled differently and mentions nothing about youk I dont see it being spelled differently. But I am listening to the station right now.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:33 PM) He might be the best non-closing relief pitcher we've ever had, though he certainly is regressing as he is pretty old now That plus he is expensive.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:31 PM) Clicking the link, I get that this page doesn't exist. Is this legit? https://twitter.com/98_5SportsHub Im listening to the station right now

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:29 PM) Is this legit? This is the most I would have given up without being angry. Leyson Septimo anyone? http://boston.cbslocal.com/category/sports/ Its a legit radio station thats reporting it

Yeah that is a legit radio station.

Pirates are out...looks like Youkillis is ours

QUOTE (Sockin @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:22 PM) This could be bull considering it's a new twitter account but FWIW. #RedSox‬ Kevin Youkilis & Cash Considerations traded to ‪#WhiteSox‬ for Matt Thornton & PTBNL. ‪#MLB‬ https://twitter.com/98_5sportshub/status/216610937690537986 Its a sports station in Boston looks like

Well if we lose out to the Pirates for Youkillis Ill be ok with it. In the end I think the Pirates will have to give up a good prospect to get what they are asking for.

^^^well thats just silly. Ofcourse they wont have to give up a top prospect. No one will unless there are more pieces to the deal.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 12:08 PM) I think the Red Sox throw that out there to try to get others involved. I still think Pittsburgh and Arizona are possibilites since the cost shouldn't be much. I think all offers being the same, they would prefer to have Youkilis on a team that is not an AL playoff contender just in case he rediscovers his performance. Arizona is apparently out of the running. Pittsburgh doesnt want to take his money and give up a decent prospect.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 12:02 PM) I think he winds up in the NL. While its always exciting the Sox may upgrade from a guy like the ODog, if Youkilis doesn't come here, even if the price was close to nothing, its really not a big deal. Its either us(more likely) or the Dodgers at this point.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 11:42 AM) What's their site again? Would be fun to read lol Just look at the PSD one.

Red Sox fans think that they are getting Gavin Floyd in this deal

I dont doubt you at all bucket. Hopefully this gets done ASAP.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 10:41 PM) They said on the pre game that Humber was actually playing catch today. I think his stay on the DL will be minimal. The really good news to come out of that is no surgery.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 10:35 PM) Fair enough, I didn't mean to start an unnecessary argument. Here is to hoping Axelrod comes up and is serviceable and Humber figures it out for a repeat of last season's first half. I think its a good argument and a fair question Im actually looking forward to Axelrod pitching.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 10:35 PM) It's not about accountability, it's about having a personal agenda, which you clearly have. It's pretty obvious that the rest of the board doesn't care to wade through this nonsense, so why don't you try to withhold your anal retentive and vindictive side to a minimum, whenever possible. It is about accountability which was my agenda when responding to your posts. Unfortunately I wont do that last part.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 10:26 PM) I like that at least several publications thought very highly of Simon at one point and it seems that he only lost favor due to a loss of control, which appears to be back. It would be really nice to see him have a more dominant run than he's really had so far this year, just to see that ceiling of his show through. He's given up a few runs here and there. But nothing concerning like with Nestor Molina. He seems pretty steady.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 10:22 PM) You said Orlando Hudson cannot throw to first. Now using your standard, that is a definitive statement which is obviously absurdly false, as I saw him make many throws to first tonight. If you are going to hold my statements to an absurd level of literalism, you are a far worse offender than I am. Good I encourage you to keep holding me accountable. I'm just far more persistent in that area as you'll find out.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 10:23 PM) you're*

jon greenberg ‏@espnchijon Could Youkilis be heading to White Sox? @Buster_ESPN thinks Sox are favorite. http:// jon greenberg ‏@espnchijon “@Buster_ESPN: @espnchijon Not me.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 10:18 PM) Wild pitches have played a huge role in three of our last four losses Once that happened I had little faith that Crain would get the other 2 out.
