Sox after Jermaine Dye?

[Anuj09]

EEI reports that the deal is still on

[Anuj09]

EEI now reporting it is dead.

[hoke3182]

im sure Pena and Hansen can still fetch a respectable bat from somewhere' date=' even if it isnt Dye[/quote']

 

It would be sweet to get Dye though, maybe they can still work something out.

[HeadOfSoxNation]

ESPN News just said that The ChiSox are trying to sign Dye to an extension...

 

Looks like the deal is dead. I was more excited about Gagne, anyways.

 

 

 

EDIT: Gammons just said that the Dye thing is still going to happen. I swear to God, any 3 of us could have hosted this deadline special.

[hoke3182]

They need some bench help, we gotta do something.

[Sox Fan In Indy]

Random thing I realized: If we get him, we'll have the World Series MVP's from 01, 03, 04, and 05. We should go after Troy Glaus to complete the 5-peat.

[lasordas speed dial]

So much for JD then I guess.

[Cocos Disciples]

Whoah, thats pretty cool.

[BoSox21]

I don't trust much of what Gammons says, especially if it contradicts what everyone else says

[castigs850]

who was WS MVP in '01?

[Anuj09]

Schilling and JOhnson

[BoSox21]

01 Schilling & Johnson

03 Beckett

04 Manny

05 Dye

Gammons is pretty tight with the sox FO, so i would trust him more than some of the other talking heads.

[Khan]

Theo, get an F'en bat!

[castigs850]

Schilling and JOhnson

 

wow cant believe i didnt know that. for some reason i thought luis gonzalez or however you spell it was MVP of that WS

[BoSox21]

Schilling and Johnson even got co-SI Sportsmen of the Year that year

[TheKilo]

Color me tremendously disappointed that the Red Sox could not pull the trigger on Dye. Adding his bat would have made them prohibitive WS favorites and they couldn't get it done.

 

The Gagne deal was tremendous, but I really think they need to upgrade this offense to really make a push for the ring.

[Anuj09]

Kilo love the Avatar.

[adrock127]

Right now they are the favorites WS is ours for the taking .

Right now they are the favorites WS is ours for the taking .

 

I wouldnt paint anyone as favorites right now. I consider this as big a toss up as ever. Last yr, you had the yankees, tigers, and twins as 95-96 win teams and they were dominant. This season, every team has had extreme moments of mediocrity with all 4 playoff contenders having critical flaws in their postseason hopes and world series dreams.

 

This season will be a major toss up, hence getting to he playoffs is the way to go and then feel your way from there.

It's adam.

[Mr Crunchy]

the arms and depth of the pen make them the favorites

dye wouldve made them prohibitive favorites

 

you dont get a lot of oppurtunity like this in baseball and the man was on the table for the taking

[Mr Crunchy]

bonds didnt get it done on his last ab

[CrespoBlows]

Bonds slowly grounds to second base, Belliard takes his time fielding the ball, and throws to short. Zimmerman throws to 1st, as we see Bonds walking into view.

 

Whole thing takes about ten seconds.

[Mr Crunchy]

fkn crisp k's meekly.......bonds is rather pathetic

he cant run or field in left anymore

his obp is still huge and he can still hit the long ball but without him at dh hes a burden defensively and his complete lack of motion makes him a liability on the base paths

more and more teams are just going right at him

of course his teamates dont help as their lineup is real soft

[CrespoBlows]

Bonds mimics Coco's AB, with a K of his own.

 

That 3-1 pitch should have been in McCovey Cove.
