Opening Day

since the sawx and the marlins are so friendly these days, here's my killer trade that'll help both teams:

[b]foulke, clement & snow [/b]straight up for [b]dontrelle willis[/b].

i heard the marlins can't afford to keep both willis & cabrera, and would prefer not to lose cabrera...




i was shocked that barrett got 10 games for The Punch.
seems a littlte excessive...

I think Barrett's steep penalty might have something to do with the fact that A.J. was WALKING AWAY, that Barrett sucker punched him from behind.

But it was fun to watch, regardless. Yet another reason to love baseball.

now that clemens is tied up with houston, the sawx need to make this trade asap:

clement, tavares, seanez & snow for willis.

we need foulke at least until timlin gets healthy.
tavares & seanez have underperformed this year.
they were especially pitiful last sunday, turning a 5-0 wakefield shutout into a 5-4 reach-for-the-pepto nail-biter.

so, theo epstein, if you're out there, will ya at least think it over?

No offense(middle finger while smiling stupid emoticon), but you're retarded.

This isn't a Playstation 2 video game. You can't go trade 4 crap players for 1 superstar(even though he's having a bad year). I'm surprised you didn't throw Dougie Mirabelli in there, and propose for Albert Pujols.

Theo isn't listening to you...

yeah, you can -- if a team is in financial straits, like the marlins...





this isn't my first rodeo, Slappy :wink:

And taking on Foulke and Clement is going to get them out of financial straits? They're not exactly cheap guys. Guys who are "established" financially and aren't performing don't trade well...that's why Foulke is still on the team. It would take their farm system to pull a guy like Willis, and he's not worth the risk.

the Marlins are cheap...they're satisfied with a championship every 5 years and all the talent gets sold off the next year...they'll wait tiul next year and dantrelle will go to the highest bidder

nothing's set in stone -- contracts get re-worked all the time...



so the sawx are getting bludgeoned in the bronx tonight, 13-5.

i wonder how much pitching coach dave wallace is being missed this year?
bullpen coach al nipper has not done a good job filling in so far.

i strongly suspect the pitching staff will be vastly different by september.
mark my words, Slappy...

They need to do something. Tomorrow they'll probably get pounded again, they've got Pauly hitting the mound. They don't have a number 5 right now.

Just really sucks watching Beckett being so inconsistent, when his stuff is so nasty. He's already given up more homeruns this season, then he has in any season in his career, and it's about 1/3 through. And Clement's got great stuff too, but these guys are so up and down.

beckett must've been tipping his pitches.
they were squaring up on everything he threw.

pauley will have to pitch the game of his life tonight.

clement hasn't been the same since he got hit in the head last year.

wakefield hasn't been very baffling this year.
when he's on, he gets no run support.

wells is basically done.

that leaves schilling, who had a crappy month of May, after getting off to a good start.


i can't see management waiting much longer than the all-star break to start moving bodies...

they couldn't leave Pauley in to pitch to Giambi?...

he had thrown 98 pitches, and he looked like he was unravelling after missing that easy grounder...

Yea, the 7th inning was a bonus round for him. They had the bullpen going before he started that inning. There was no reason to keep him in.

He pitched a great game though. Imagine your 2nd start pitching at Yankee stadium, and striking out Gay-Rod?

he pitched real good...so that means the sawx need a middle reliever...they got a great closer.

lefty prospect jon lester is slated for a cup of coffee this weekend...

Way to go, Julian Tavarez. Ass-clown.

that was nauseating.

i'd much rather see one of the phenoms on the mound with the game on the line...

my mets are kickin' ass and takin' names.

conflict: who the hell should i root for when they play the sawx later this month?

The Boston Puppies!

The Red Sox have a good chance of making hay this weekend. My Braves have been hopeless of late...
