    Halladay is going to Philly !!!

    No way he ends up in the AL East

    The GM should be shot if he does that

    BAD loss last night on Jim Rice #14 retirement night ...

    next few days should be interesting, I expect the Sox to pick up an arm or two

    but, hey, Jim Ed is in the hall .... and on the wall. Nice to see him SO happy.

    I was going to congratulate you last night, but I was so sickened by the game I didn't feel like posting.

    Congrats on the whole weekend for Jim Ed!

    yeah, that was a REALLY tough game to watch ... what made it worse, when the Sox are playing the A's, because I'm in the bay area my MLB Package blacks out the Boston broadcast so I have to watch the Oakland broadcast .... and normally I like those guys, they do a good job (probably a top 5 crew in baseball) ... but last night was nauseating.

    But if the Sox land Halladay in the next 48 hours, I'll forgive the Sox for last night and the 10-1 debacle with the O's. But those dribblers in the 9th and throwing the ball around was killing me.

    yeah, only one ball was hit well off Papelbon (granted, he did start the inning off with a walk :x )

    Nick Green throwing worse play after bad ... :oops:

    We'll see about Halladay ... I still tihnk it's not going to happen, but, damn ... Halladay, Lester, and Beckett ... what a trio IF they make the playoffs.

    Well, with the Phils out of the running now, the Sox are the frontrunners for Halladay.

    Ricciardi, a Mass. native, IS getting fired at the end of the year. If he ends up trading Doc within the division without holding a gun to someone's head then I'm calling Shenanigans.

    I'm thinking the owner would have final say on the deal.

    from all accounts, the Jays price for Halladay is obnoxiously expensive.

    The owner wants him to cut payroll. No one wants Rios or Wells and no one else is really making offers right now. So either Doc stays or goes to the Red Sox or I hate to say Yanks for something not too ridiculous.

    no one is getting halladay. the price from him is to high anyways. but with all that being said, i still think the sawx will get him.

    that'd be nice but we need bats. Phils, Angels and Yanks are in a different league than Sox in hitting.

    Sox are 2-1 against the Phils, 8-0 against the Yanks and have never lost to the Angels in the post season.

    I'd rather have Beckett, Halladay and Lester pitching all 5 in the division series and 6 of 7 games in the championship series and World Series.

    What good hitting SS's are available? You have a log jam at 3B/1B/DH so you can't add anything there. Drew still has 2 years remaining on his contract and Ellsbury range makes up for the lack of range in LF and RF. And if it game down to it I'd much have Halladay than Victor Martinez C.

    You make this move for Halladay then you have a rested bullpen and the Sox offense will come around and score more than enough to be playing in October.

    ohhhh i totally agree with you. maybe an adam dunn? I'm in shock of how much your bats have come down to earth. you guys need to pick it up cause i don't wanna see the yanks win the division.

    I wish you were right but there's just too much dullness with our bats. Drew has been the shits for the most part, V-tek hasn't been the same in forever (better than last year though), Papi is still not hitting his weight and Bay has been hot and cold. I'd like Halliday more than any hitting, but how much are you going to give up for him. If Cleveland gave up both Lee and Francisco for next to nothing, we should be able to get at least Martinez from them for prospects other than Bucholtz (sic?).
