    Acquiring Lidle would not be considered a big move. and acquiring Woody Williams would be considered an act of charity.:thumbdown

    The offense has to get going.
  3. a700hitter
    Jaret Wright has been very reliable lately.
  4. a700hitter
    He's looking fine so far. Let's hope the SOx give him aother start right away and don't send him to AAA and try someone else like Mike Remlinger. BTW Really nice running catch by Manny to end the inning.

    Because the Sox only have one reliable starter--- Schilling. Beckett is leading the universe in dingers and Wakefield's knuckler is such a wild-card that it is not reliable. You can't count on Beckett having a strong second half or Lester getting in less jams. Those are hopes and "ifs." If you run your team based on hopes and "ifs" You will almost always be disappointed. Right now,the yankee rotation is stronger one through five and one through three. The White Sox pitching rotation is also stronger. The Sox don't have a top of the rotation 1 thru 3 that is reliable and that can dominate. That's why I think they are built to lose in the first round if they make it at all. Do they have a chance to advance? Yes, they do, but Vegas will not have them as the favorite to advance through he playoffs.

    This bum of the week routine is getting very old.

    The best SS on the Yankees just hit a HR and the Yankees are ahead.
  8. a700hitter
    I'm not conteradicting myself. He should have gotten another start right away when they had the luxury of more time. Instead they dick around for another few weeks with Jason Johnson. Now, they are short on time to solidify the rotation, and they decide to give the kid his deserved second start. Sorry, but it's too late.

    If it's truethat the Yanks won't part with Hughes, that should put the Sox in a good podition to knock the Yankees out of the box unless the Yankees can work cash in by taking a bad contract, etc.

    DFA Party at my house.
  11. a700hitter
    I might agree with you if Beckett becomes more consistent, but as things stand today, this team will have difficulty making th eplayoffs, and they are built to lose in the first round.
  12. a700hitter
    Throw in Pedroia and you can get Smoltz easliy.
  13. a700hitter
    It might be worth it for a guy with his stuff and big game resume. Not too many can bear up under the bright lights, and he is one of the best at it.
  14. a700hitter
    He did deserve another start after his first start, but the FO decided to make a completely pointless move getting Jason Johnson and they sent down Snyder. They should have given Snyder the shot right away. The waiver claims were not rolling in for Johnson. They could have pushed that off a few days. Now, we are getting close to the trading deadline and the FO is still experimenting with bush leaguers. It would be nice if they could get lucky, but they don't have much time with the deadline looming.

    Smoltz shutting down the Padres after 6 innings. Let's hop Theo can bring him to Fenway. He can put this team over the top. Plus, next to Schilling, he is probably the best big game pitcher in the game.
  16. a700hitter
    Right now the Yankee rotation is better.
  17. a700hitter
    Guys, I appreciate your optimism, but the reality is we are trotting out s*** as our 5th starter--- not a mediocre pitcher, but s***. Snyder would have his hands full with KC in Fenway. He is likely to get his head handed to him tomorrow by the first place A's. The FO can't continue to put its head in the sand about the #5 pitcher. It's basically a forfeit game. I realize that anything can happen, but if you trot out a guy that has a 1 out 4 chance of winning for the remainder of the season, the chances are that at the end of the season he will have lost pretty close to 3 out of 4 games. Occasionally, he'll get lucky and that will account for the one win in 4 starts.

    It was a bad deal. Suppan spit the bit big time. I don't know if it was fear of the big stage or what (let's not forget his meltdown on 3B in game 3 of the 2004 WS), but if he hadn't sucked so much in Sept '03 and made the ALCS roster and won game 7 in relief, the trade would have been worth it to me if he never threw another pitch for the Sox. There's nothing wrong with short term success. A world series banner hangs forever. Sometimes young talent has to be sacrificed to get it. Obviously, the FO should try not to trade the next Albert Pujols or the next Pedro, but sometimes the guys you trade turn out to be pretty good, e.g. Freddie Sanchez.
  19. a700hitter
    You win some and you lose some when you deal. Teams want something in return in a trade. Rarely does a trade work out equally for each team. However, if Suppan had been able to win a playoff game in the ALCS (I'm not sure he made the roster) and the Sox won the 2003 WS, the trade would have been worth it.
  20. a700hitter
    Anything is possible, but the Sox are most probably toast tomorrow. The smart money is on the A's.
  21. a700hitter
    The SS-3B hole is nonexistent. Rarely does a ball that find that hole.
  22. a700hitter
    What a disgrace is Willie Harris. He botches that play so badly that it hits off the wall and it rolls all the way back to the SS. He never touched the ball. DOes he take fly balls before games. I mean he has nothing elso to do, but prepare, and when he comes into the game in the field or on the bases he looks lost.
  23. a700hitter
    He's getting good AB's the last two nights, which is a good sign. He's streaky, and he's due for a good streak.
  24. a700hitter
    What is the word on WMP being activated? I am assuming it will be Monday. I need to know so I can schedule my Willie Harris DFA party.
  25. a700hitter
    Manny with a hit. That three and four is a beast for opposing pitchers. How stupid must a pitcher feel when he walks Loretta to face Ortiz and Manny. You must want to take a bite out of the baseball, because you know one of those guys is going to take a bite out of your ass. BTW: Glad that Terry went right for the PR for Manny. Let him ice his knee and get ready for tomorrow.
