  1. This guy sucks. He makes the same mistakes over and over. Get him out of here. Against Florida and Tampa too.
  2. All he needed was a righty. Atta boy Tek, we're tied.
  3. If he can keep the ball low, he won't get hit so hard.
  4. Yeah there is no way Buehrle deserves to go in favor of Liriano. MB: 9-5, 3.86 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 51 K, 116.2 IP, 20.6 VORP (40th in ML) FL: 9-1, 1.99 ERA, .97 WHIP, 94 K, 84.1 IP, 37.2 VORP (6th in ML)
  5. Nah he got banned a few weeks ago.
  6. Oh. That makes it a little better.
  7. I know this wouldn't happen, but what about Jarrod Saltamacchia. The Braves already have their catcher of the future, and if we could trade, say, Hansen, Moss and Edgar Martinez maybe, for Smoltz and Saltamacchia, then flip Saltamacchia in another deal, or keep him, I don't know. Just a thought.:dunno:
  8. Maybe Bagwell would have, but that's a thing of the past. I'm not saying it's a guaranteed thing, because nothing is. Things can go wrong, sure. But trading Hansen, who could bring us a couple titles, for a guy who could bring us one title, doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.
  9. I think Schilling retires at the end of next year. Wakefield could possibly go longer, since he is a knuckleballer. Also, if you can guarantee me a WS victory this year, yeah, I would do that trade, but nothing is ever guaranteed. I would rather be a contender for the next 10 years and win a couple titles than win it this year and not contend, although we likely still would contend without Hansen. I don't know, I guess I just talked myself out of it.
  10. Canseco demanded a trade http://x.go.com/cgi/x.pl?goto=http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2509719&name=FPT-2509719-070514&srvc=sz
  11. That is a reasonable trade, because Zambrano is young, and, if we get him, we would hopefully sign him to an extension. With Smoltz, it's only 2 months. With Zamby, it's 5+ years as a 1-A with Beckett.
  12. We just need to get back into a groove, it we get hot like 2004 at the end of the season, even remotely close to that, we're in excellent shape. At this point the playoff picture looks a'something like this: AL West: Oakland 3 out of 4 teams: Sox Yankees Tigers White Sox I respect the Blue Jays, but I just don't feel like they have a team that can make a serious run for the playoffs. As earlier noted by RoyNHSox, the Yankees play the Blue Jays more than we do, and the Blue Jays will likely play spoiler here. Although I do not think the Jays will be in the playoffs, I think they will play a huge role as to who gets in. I got Sox, Sox, Tigers.
  13. But a dominant setup man is still a great thing to have for 10 years, a guy who shortens the game to 7 innings. I do not think losing that for Smoltz, a guy who we will have for 2 months and 9 starts, is worth it.
  14. But Craig Hansen is our closer of the next 10 years. Smoltz may improve our odds of winning it all, and, to be honest, I would do it in 2004. But, as earlier mentioned, it does not guarantee anything, and I do not want to take that risk.
  15. What about Ruffing?
  16. After losing Wallace, the Pistons got Nazr Mohammad yesterday, signed him to a 4 year 25 mil contract.
  17. Whoops. Move it then.
  18. That's why Livan Hernandez is such a hot commoditie, because he can go that extra 20-30 pitches and not have wear and tear on him.
  19. Sox are on pace to win 100 games exactly. The halfway mark is today, and doubling stats is always fun. Schilling and Beckett with 20 wins, Papelbon with 50 saves, Ortiz 54 homers, Manny 46. Yankees 92 wins. I would say if we get 95 wins, we are probably good. But you never know, the Yankees will likely make a big splash soon. Hey, deadline in less than a month. We should do somethign tooo.
  20. Shocking, A-Rod goes 3 for 4...in a 18 run game.
