Nomar is heading to the cubs as part of a 4 team trade.....Sox get Orlando Cabrera and Doug Minkevich sp?

afterhours · 07-31-2004, 04:08 PM

4 team trade we gave up mr. clutch and in return we get ss cabrera from montreal and 1b meinkeniczw(SP) from minn.

both good gloves!

BigFish · 07-31-2004, 04:11 PM

Am I happy????

You better believe it!

Not only do I not have to see him flick his freakin' wrists anymore, I don't even have to see him play the Sox!!!

Yeah, I am happy!!!

The only place I am gonna have to see Nomahhhhhhh any moahhhhhhh is on the ESPN highlight reel and I don't expect to see him too often there unless he boots a boucer hit right at him or drops a can-of-corn!!!!

Yesireeeee.....no moahhhhhhh Nomahhhhhhhhh!!!!

afterhours · 07-31-2004, 04:16 PM

Squid kids Dad · 07-31-2004, 04:22 PM

Were gonna win more games now right ??

afterhours · 07-31-2004, 04:24 PM

skd, he sucked in the clutch and he sulked in the clubhouse, and YES we will win more games. his negitive attitude effected his team mates. it,s pom pom time!

Squid kids Dad · 07-31-2004, 04:31 PM

I hope your right...

...But he could end up like Clemens after he was run out of town and have an excellent career elsewhere...

afterhours · 07-31-2004, 04:35 PM

he just might. a change of scenery might do him good. i think clemens wouldn't have flourished if he stayed in boston. like a bad marriage it was time to part. sox-cubs series!

Squid kids Dad · 07-31-2004, 04:37 PM

I just think we lost a lot of offense..

afterhours · 07-31-2004, 04:41 PM

yeah, we lost some o, but we gained some d and i hear that meinchawiczh(sp) is a super clubhouse leader. i'm tellin' ya i got a good feeling now.

afterhours · 07-31-2004, 04:43 PM

btw, did i see ortiz starting to do the nomahhh thing with his gloves?

Squid kids Dad · 07-31-2004, 04:45 PM

Oh jeezzzzzzz.. I hope not..especialy for BF'S sake..

Still tough seeing a guy go that many of us watched in Pawtucket (well, at least read about). Good luck #5 (unless wee see you in October)...

Maybe the trade will in fact round out the talent on this club. The Sox are leading most meaningful offense stats, including runs scored, but are only playing .500 ball since May. Sure, we will lose some offense but things just defensively got better.

No we have someone making better throws to 1st, better scoops at 1st, soon sandwiching Reese, gonna be a good defensive outfield. And of course, Mr Clutch now becomes out full time (nearly) D.H. ....

Hope it goes well... Now to tell son his baseball player is gone day (well, really just his favorite #5) after his goldfish went belly up

Bigcat · 07-31-2004, 06:25 PM

Good riddance,glad to see him go.
To bad Lowe is still around

BigFish · 07-31-2004, 07:37 PM

What offense are we gonna miss????

The guy had horrible numbers and outside of that grandslam, made no noticeable contribution to this team what so ever!!!! Here, I will go check his numbers.....Nomahhhh Garciapara was a paper tiger folks!!! All you "I think he was a "great" player cry-babies give me one reason that you think he was a "great" player. By that I mean "GREAT"! Was he an Ernie Banks type of shortstop? Or an Ozzie Smith type of shortstop? I think he was a shortstop the same way Pete Runnels was second baseman.....basically just pretty good with flashes of "GREAT"! Nomahhhh won back to back batting championships, however in 1999 he only played in 135 games and in 2000 he only played in 143 games.....so what....those two batting championships were pretty cheesey if you ask me....the guy, as I have said many times, had hands of stone in the field.....he made #^&#^&#^&#^& Stuart look like a goldglover out there......Nomahhhhh never won a Gold Glove and his fielding percentage was not exactly awesome!!! His power numbers have been on a steady drop every year and his fielding gets worse by the game!!!

Bye Nomahhhh....nice knowin' ya!!!!

bud8fan · 07-31-2004, 07:56 PM

Well at least we got something for Nomar?

IF we had kept him we would have lost him in free agency!

But we needed a Pitcher??? That we didnt get!!

BigFish · 07-31-2004, 08:01 PM

Truthfully I thought the trade sucked.....we got boned hard!!! We need a first baseman that can't hit like we need a hole in the head and we really don't need another shortstop....we got Pokey, hopefully they put Pokey at short and the new guy at second....that would be fine....and another outfielder????

We really got nothing out of the deal that will improve this club except you got Nomahhhhhs stagnant bat out of the lineup which will help and a more competent fielder in there full-time whether it be Pokey or the other dude??? (I keep forgetting his name)

But as I have said many times.....I would trade Nomahhh for a six pack and a sandwich!!!! So all in all I think it was the right move!

Squid kids Dad · 07-31-2004, 08:32 PM

Nomars #'s were horrible??? Check his average since he has been back.321 for the year...Didn't know that sucked ..

Skip N · 07-31-2004, 08:41 PM

No question Nomar is a better player than what the sox got in return but as of late Nomars attitude has sucked and he was not going re sign with the Sox at the end of the year anyway. At least we got something for him and he didnt just walk at the end of the year and the sox get jack for him.....Makes sense to me! Hope he does well with the cubbies.

BigFish · 07-31-2004, 08:41 PM

Only 156 AB's SKD.....big deal! The guy was more a liability than a help! What was his BA with men in scoring position?

I bet that stat is quite telling!

Don't let the door hit ya where the lord split ya Nomahhhh!

Squid kids Dad · 07-31-2004, 09:09 PM

I am sure my attitude would suck at my job if I had heard while on vacation they were looking to get rid of me.Especially if that is the only company I have ever worked for...It woud'nt be very fun at all..Relocating my family ect..It's gotta play on you..I know they make a lot of money and it should'nt bother them physicaly or mentaly but everyone is different..I wish him luck..Can anyone argue against that he was one of the best short stops and one of the most popular players the sox have ever had??

Squid kids Dad · 07-31-2004, 09:13 PM

Hey...Lets get rid of Manny too...He is 8 for 43...

BigFish · 07-31-2004, 09:42 PM

One of the best shortstops they ever had??? Maybe, but not one of the greatest!

afterhours · 07-31-2004, 09:47 PM

i wish nomahhhh and that guy mia hammmm the very best in CHICAGO.

Squid kids Dad · 07-31-2004, 10:19 PM

The end,,,Who was the greatest??

Surfcastinglife · 08-01-2004, 07:23 AM

hes gone good they didnt adress the needs of the team though. they adressed needing him outta here but NOT needin a pitcher or an outfielder if nixon is in fact gone for the year.damn astros are like 10 back and still didnt give up carlos beltran....who knows maybe in a couple weeks when they're 20 back they'll do away with him ;P mebbe a waiver deal can be worked.
i would've liked the move a lot more if i didnt want pedro and lowe outta here(lowe for obvious reasons and pedro i think he wont ever be the same fastball in the mid 80's wont cut it =[)

CAL · 08-01-2004, 07:34 AM

Sox got OF Dave Roberts from the Dodgers.
