QUOTE(fathom @ May 4, 2007 -> 10:04 PM) As long as Ozzie/KW is in charge, Erstad will be out on that field.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ May 4, 2007 -> 10:01 PM) 6 Mil if he gets 600 PA's Oh boy. Well, that's another deal we'll need to rid.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 4, 2007 -> 09:56 PM) Actually a good AB by Sweeney. And don't kid yourself about Anderson....he won't come up unless Erstad is injured. Doesn't Erstad have a clause in his deal that gets him "x million" next year if he hits "x AB's" this year?

QUOTE(fathom @ May 4, 2007 -> 09:53 PM) It amazes me to see how some people fall in love with prospects, even ones they've never seen before. I think a great chip we could trade is MacDougal. It's not likely he'll stay healthy throughout the year anyways. I kinda fall under that umbrella myself, but I have no idea who is really good or isn't. I think he is a good chip, but I doubt very much he'd be dealt. I wonder if someone like Jenks would be dealt. What do you think about that?

QUOTE(fathom @ May 4, 2007 -> 09:51 PM) Wait a few more starts until Sheets is on th DL. I thought he signed a 3 yr deal before last year? He signed whenever they played hardball with Garland, was that after 05?

QUOTE(fathom @ May 4, 2007 -> 09:47 PM) Outside of Danks, I don't care if we trade every single person in the organization. I don't forsee that. I like your style Fathom, I'm being selfish and just cannot wait to see what certain posters who anger me say or do.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ May 4, 2007 -> 09:39 PM) We don't even need to wait for the offseason. It's early May and we are all already pissed off. Well, I'm not pissed, but I don't have the time to get pissed about the Sox. No changes will be made now, but the off season shall be grand.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 4, 2007 -> 09:39 PM) I can't wait to hear the idiotic trade proposals. I still thought we were getting Wood and Ardenhart for Garcia? Hopefully KW and Ozzie won't be back. Not even trade speculation. No matter if they win the WS or finish 25 out of first, just the divide between posters who want to rebuild or slide pieces around. Then when we trade the players who could help us rebuild, people will be mad about whom we got in return.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 4, 2007 -> 09:35 PM) Ah, I love our DH. GMAFB! I hate this f***ing team. I'm not watching, but this off-season is going to be so awesome. The b****ing is going to be off the charts. WE CAN'T SAY b****ING~?~!

QUOTE(Brian @ May 2, 2007 -> 10:09 PM) If the price is reasonable, I will consider getting the ROH PPV. 1. No Direct TV for the first show atleast. 2. Early report was $10-$15 for the show.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 2, 2007 -> 09:50 PM) We have two. They have walker who has used the cold, the pitchers, and now depression and anxiety as the reason they cant hit. They are fundamentally sound, just cant hit because their bats are sad. The assistant makes people watch video, to find holes in their swing, well no. He uses video to help them find their inner chi, and how they feel when they hit well. Here I thought Gellinger was showing them their good swings versus their old swings. Now I know why no name pitchers devastate our team when they face them for the first time. Forget watching video of the pitcher, remember the warm feeling you had when you crushed a homer in 2006. Ahh yes visualize your swing in your head and how you felt. You are fixed go into the game and flail away. Here is the wierd thing. Walk things the swings are fundamentally sound and mechanically sound. Thats scary. But then again he thought that BA had a good swing, even as he was being sent down. Long and looping and slow is Walks version of a good swing I guess. I'm just going by what ol' Hawk always says.

I'm waiting for Hawk to bring up that he believes each team should have more than one hitting coach again.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 2, 2007 -> 08:17 PM) I s*** you not, I'm planting apple trees Saturday. Common.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ May 2, 2007 -> 06:51 PM) Addendum to the ROH story: In the Youtube video are Bryan Danielson, Roderick Strong, Jay & Mark Briscoe, Nigel McGuinness, Davey Richards, Delirious, Rocky Romero, BJ Whitmer, Claudio Castagnoli, Brent Albright, Erick Stevens. I assume they're the ones with the exclusive deals, but that hasn't been confirmed. ROH Champ Takeshi Morishima is already under a deal to NOAH in Japan, but one assumes there's a deal in place to make this work. Meltzer said it was just going to be the show from 5/12, so it's not a live deal. He also said they can use Morishima, PWI said they signed 12 guys to deals so they can't be RAIDED~!~!

QUOTE(3E8 @ May 2, 2007 -> 08:38 PM) A few weeks ago a pornstar wanted me to come with her to the bar and buy me a drink and I rejected her. I have been thinking about it each day since. WHAT~!~?

There's no point in having the New Breed without the Originals around. Once RVD is gone, the rest will be cut as well. I think that's why they're rushing the angle. QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ May 2, 2007 -> 03:19 PM) Vincw won't care as long as he has a TV deal. And, IIRC, ECW is still going quite well by Sci-Fi terms, so it's going to be around awhile. Doesn't matter, the raitings we're in the mid two's now they're mid 1's every week. TV Networks don't want to deal with having it on their network because advertising rates are horrible for wrestling. Yes the raiting they do is tops most of the time on Sci-Fi, but they are quite happy airing their programming and would rather not have wrestling on.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 1, 2007 -> 10:30 PM) KW might be high on Anderson, but it's safe to say Ozzie isn't. With Ozzie's love for Erstad and Pods, I see no way in which Anderson gets significant playing time with the Sox again this year. That's very disappointing considering all the changes that are sure to come after this year. The trading deadline for this team is going to be a very huge deal this year.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 1, 2007 -> 10:27 PM) Here's the problem....Cintron has to be on the team because you don't have a back-up SS. I was really hoping we'd trade Mackowiak and create room for Eduardo Perez. Of course, KW's only good signing this offseason, Toby Hall, was ruined. I don't see how we won't continue to get shut down by the usual LHP in our division. Have you heard anything as to why they haven't tried to bring Perez in? They talked at the end of ST about signing him back to atleast a minor league deal if nobody else picked him up. Seems very strange.

I'm going to be very sad when this series is over.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 1, 2007 -> 09:41 PM) Haha....welcome to the club! LOL! That was awesome *clap clap clap* That was awesome *clap clap clap*

QUOTE(Brian @ May 1, 2007 -> 09:16 PM) I'm gonna have to listen to Hawk and DJ kiss Washburn's ass all night, aren't I? Oh look, a mute button. I'm watching Mavs-Warriors and flipping over to the Sox, so I won't hear it ALL night...

I'm being shipped out of the country, I only got 80%.

*Waiting for the first Rowand post*
