I noticed that Lester has enlarged lymph nodes. Best of luck to him again. Tonight is the last night before September callups and a person must be on your roster today to be playoff eligible. I wonder if there are going to be any trades. White Sox blew it against the Devil Rays and lost in the 10th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2006 I heard that in a Boston paper that Red Sox fans are actually having some trouble getting sellouts for their home games just because they have lost a few games. What a bunch of fair weather fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a bunch of fair weather fans. Which is utter bullshit because they had sold out the entire season before the first pitch of the first game of the year.

I don't know a ton about the guy, but he's a 23 year old catching prospect and the Sox have no catching prospects even on the radar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know a ton about the guy, but he's a 23 year old catching prospect and the Sox have no catching prospects even on the radar. Supposedly he's good defensively, and below average offensively. The Twins could have used Wells. After Santana there aren't any guarantees in the rotation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 Twins acquire Phil Nevin. He won't be much help, but he brings the possibility of the longball with him at times. He's probably a slight upgrade over White, at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 I just can't believe that the Cubs are dismantling the team like this. First Neifi...now Nevin...and I hear that A-Ram is heavily considering cutting town over the offseason. 'Stros are up in the bottom of the 8th. A win tonite, and it's 2 1/2 games back with the Mets coming in next. If the Astros can take at least one of the games this weekend, probably Sunday's, they should be ok going into next week.

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 This is Nevin's seventh team. Three teams he's been on two separate occasions. Something besides being fined, needs to be done about some of these umpires. I have no doubt that Mike Timmons, knowingly called Jeff Cirillo out in the 1st inning.

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 Tim Timmons. It was a bang-bang play. He probably beat it, but, I guess since he was the crew cheif, he needed to re-establish order after Brady Clark was giving him and the Home Plate Ump shit over something or other. Edit: Oh, and Brandon Backe's getting TJ surgery. He'll be out the rest of this season and all of next season. Too bad. I really like Backe, even if he is only a servicable 3rd starter. He's still better than most of the AAA guys the Astros have called up this and last year. He occasionally shows flashes of absolute brilliance, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
