SnB Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) He's an absolutely horrid GM. there was an OTL episode like a month ago that was all about how horrible he is and how the fans are trying to overthrow him. My god, what a terrible GM, how does he not do anything w/ all these offers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotop Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) He's an absolutely horrid GM. No s***, I mean he started Baez negotiations with the Mets by asking for wright or reyes. GMAFB. Then he turns it into Petit and another minor leaguer? GMAFB. Asking for Morneau to START Huff negotiations? GMAFB. Seriously, trying to hold everyone in baseball by the balls and have nothing to show for it HAS to be the last straw even though the Devil Rays owners probably don't give a damn.

Chisoxfn Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 You know Kenny and fact of the matter other teams weren't willing to make deals. Nothing you can do about it. Olney said Kenny was willing to deal McCarthy for anyone he felt made the Sox a World Series competitor. Fact of the matter is, none of the other playoff rivals have done anything as of yet. Cubs acquire Matt Lawton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Levine had to be wrong about the Cubs being done dealing, and not the Sox. f***, I am so pissed off. We'll probably lose tonight, just to make things worse.

Fotop Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I know I'll get strung up for this, but with all the talk of Sosa being outrighted...you think he's an option? Personally I don't think the stats he could put up would justify the negativity he'd bring, but when we're talking waiver transactions Sosa is probably a prime example of the type of guy we'd be able to pickup at that point.

Chisoxfn Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Relax people...this is the club with the best record in baseball. Boston, Anaheim, Oakland..the rest of the division leaders have yet to make a major deal (Boston may acquire Romero). GMAFB...Kenny wasn't gonna drastically overpay and there weren't any options.
