Gobias Industries Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Right but they're playing for next season now. Oh, I know. I mean, when we traded CC first, then Casey Blake, it was obvious, but our pitching staff has been pretty weak and it's just getting weaker. Plus, I've always had a soft spot for Mr. Byrd, so this is aggravating to an extent. We are trying to shape up, who, Sowers? 1-6? For real? We need at least some reliable pitching to carry over, and now the only person to be so is really only Cliff Lee. I still want to win some games. I don't care how far we look into the future but at least give us the chance to win a few games before the next season. Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Also, I'm glad I can't watch the Sox game because I'm blacked out of the Rangers market. Dallas is only 8 hours from here so I understand. Do you have mlb.tv? I've been mysteriously avoiding those blackouts after receiving some advice on this board. Strange. Link to post Share on other sites
PigSooie Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Do you have mlb.tv? I've been mysteriously avoiding those blackouts after receiving some advice on this board. Strange. I have the extra innings package through DirecTV. It seems I am in the STL, TEX, HOU, ATL, and sometimes CIN markets. Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Sowers? 1-6?I'm not that familiar with Sowers, but I know that he is a former first round pick and is at that age where many young pitchers start to "get it." It's up to the Tribe management to determine how likely that is next year, but big turnarounds can happen from season to season. For instance: Gavin Floyd. Last year, 1-5 5.27 ERA. This year, 12-6 3.84 ERA. Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I don't know if any of you baseball fans listened to this new album or not, "The Baseball Project" But Scott McCaughey (Minus 5, Down With Wilco, you know the REM/Hitchcock Venus 3 dude) ... he is chatting online right at this moment on ESPN.com about this and other funny stuff. His neighborhood Portland musician friends, Colin and Nate (The Decemberists) are chatting with him. http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=21920 Here's a funny: Christophe, belgium: hey scott, who do you wanna collaborate with for volume 2? Scott McCaughey: (4:47 PM ET ) I'm hoping David Wells will play some sax on the next record. Also it'd be nice if guys like Tweedy and Westerberg would get off their lazy asses and write songs for me, so I can devote more time to my true love, collecting shards.

Sir Stewart Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 At the risk of mentioning something tabloid-esque:Sox catcher Jason Varitek (above) is splitting with his wife, Karen. The team captain filed for divorce July 28 in Gwinnett County, Ga., where the couple live in the offseason. They were married in 1997 and have three daughters, ages 8, 6, and 3. Varitek is in the final year of a four-year, $40-million contract he signed after the BoSox won the World Series in 2004. He'll be a free agent at the end of this season, though he turns 37 in April and is hitting just .216. Neither Varitek's attorney, Pamela Tremayne, nor his wife's attorney, Jonathan Levine, returned our phone calls yesterday. This could maybe be linked to his dismal offense all season.

(no offense to anyone with long blonde hair! it's just that the percentage there is really out of balance.) seriously, this makes me sad, and it's very probable that this kind of personal turmoil would affect his season.
