I can neither confirm nor deny these stories
In a group of Soxaholix, a woman speaks:
Do you think he's losing it?
In a group of Soxaholix, a woman speaks:
I heard from a friend of a friend who's friends with Lisa the Temp that this morning he got up, went to the gym, went to work and then was in his second hour of the day job before he realized he'd forgotten to write a strip.
In a group of Soxaholix, a woman speaks:
I mean, yeah, the Mariners are forgettable, but Jake Peavy? WTF? Hello!
In a group of Soxaholix, a woman speaks:
What's that, Ted?
In a group of Soxaholix, a woman speaks:
Yeah, I've heard that, too...
In a group of Soxaholix, a woman speaks:
H.B.'s been hitting the absinthe.
In a group of Soxaholix, a woman speaks:
So I guess you could say he woke up with morning wormwood?
I just hope this isn't another Larry Anderson for Jeff Bagwell type of deal. Igelsias has been touted as the shortstop of the future for years now, and Peavy has already been traded a few times. Time will tell I guess.

So we talking here about HB or Cherington?

Iglesias? I was drifting off to sleep when I heard something about a trade, Peavy, and Sox. Now I know. Not pleased about shipping out young SS/ 3rd baseman for Peavy. Yeah, you always need more pitching, but for once it would be nice to be stability at SS for more than a year.
Maybe the RedSox didn't think Igelsias's hitting was for real and bound to return to .240?

Great trade. Iglesias was mean-reverting with a vengeance. A guy who can't walk and thrives on infield hits isn't going to age well.
Also: Xander Bogaerts (spell that five times fast).
As for Peavy: yeah, we have a shot at the playoffs this year, so load up with arms.

I'm ok with this trade. We got Peavy, locked up through next year, for Iglesias and three guys I've never heard of. And welcome back to the show Mr. Middlebrooks?

Absinthe? All is forgiven.

How soon they forget. I was thinking the same exact thing when I heard of the trade soxinsix. Awful!

Got another SS almost ready to go and a couple of more behind him. Iggy is a great fielder but his BA is an illusion. Peavy staying healthy is a big if but if it works out he's a huge asset.

Lisa the Temp has friends?
Posted by: deiseach | 2013.07.31 at 12:53 PM
How do co-conspirators count as friends?

Why is Ted such a douche?
