Bernie Brewer Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Yes, originally reported by the NY press.... I always knew it, he went from average hitter in Minnesota to perennial MVP candidate with the sox. I'm glad his name came out and i hope the rest of them come out so that the fans and players can put this era into the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raoul Duke Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 So..... J-Wash finally has a great season, and the M's get rid of him. I don't really get this at all. 3rd best ERA in the AL??? What the hell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie Brewer Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I wonder how Martinez is going to fit in the lineup, sit the captain Varitek, platoon or rotate him at 1st? Peavy is a great pick up for the chisox with the central still up for grabs I'm going to miss Rolen's gold glove in the field, not to mention his great clutch hitting this year JP, you suck!

Bernie Brewer Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Quite the luxury to have a bat like Martinez's to spell position players not to mention they will always have a great bat to pinch hit be it Martinez, Varitek, Ortiz or Youkilis. The team is so stacked, I hate them... or am i jealous of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3. Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 He traded SCOTT ROLEN, omfg. Go die in hell JP, I shall follow Scott Rolen my favorite player after Halladay. F*** Did he trade that tub of crap Overbay? did we get anything good for Rolen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hank4hire Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Yeah, between splitting time with 3 players and pinch-hitting, he will get plenty of ABs. For me, more the first...I would rather see them win than the Cubs or Yanks, but that's about it. At least they actually develop a lot of talent rather than just paying for it.

Gretzky's Mullet Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=Aj2e...o&type=lgnsSomeone seems to agree with the general sentiment on this board. The Rolen trade wouldn't have been bad if it'd been an aside to a Halladay trade. Ricciardi could've stocked the cupboard with prospects for those two guys, and gotten a guy who still has potential to improve in Encarnacion who can show why he was much better regarded a couple of years ago than he is this year. That would've looked like strong rebuilding moves for a squad without a shot this year. Instead, you devalue your best chip, and all you do is trade one of your best hitters (and incredibly good defence) for medium grade prospects. Most of the other trades have been pretty smart. Ricciardi just got a little too big of a head about what he had to offer, and the other GMs told him to shove it. He clearly showed his ineptitude compared to his counterparts, which on top of the rest of his general incompetence of the last 10 years, should mean his donkey.

Gretzky's Mullet Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 So, looking to catch a Cubs game in late August. Any suggestions as to where to get cheapest tickets, seat locations, how to get to the stadium from downtown, what to eat, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
