Man, I used to look forward to Ringolsby's columns as a kid. I think the LAT's old San Diego edition ran them on Sundays. Or maybe the Blade Tribune did. HOFer Tracy Ringolsby wrote of Giles: He's hit a lot of leadoff for Padres, but that's a reach. He's never stolen 15 bases in a season. Some commenter wrote: As a padres fan, i would love to see pierre take the place of giles in our lineup. it would be nice to see a guy who can steal a base for a change. giles was done when roid testing started.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-222924">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Oh, brother.

And that was by Maddux.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-222891">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> From Miller at CBS: a couple of sobering facts.

That's just a move to block by the Red Sox. I don't believe any deal is going to be done.

You are right.

Mine was a joke, if that’s one of the two you were referring to.

He is not and probably won't be. It is not uncommon to put players through waivers with no intention of trading them. Right? The Red Sox did that with Manny a few years ago when he was still hitting like Manny.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-222751">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Why are there two posts saying Giles is gone?
