The Critic

Ben "At The End" Gordon! When the kid figures out how to play the first 3 quarters the same as the 4th he'll be a monster!

I heard that for no extra cost, they changed her middle name to f***ingmoron.

Would you eat them with an orange? Would you eat them......aww, s***....

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 09:07 AM) does anyone know who is pitching on saturday??? I heard Contreras on Friday and Garland on Saturday.

QUOTE(CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 09:02 AM) It's funny how on a team thats supposed to be build around speed and defense that our most speedy guy (Harris) and some of our best defensive players (Crede and Harris) seem to be on a short leash. In today's game lack of offensive production at any position gets you benched. Someone like Mark Belanger ( a light hitting, great fielding shortstop of the Orioles great teams of the late 60's to mid 70's) would never make it in today's era of smash mouth baseball. Fan's dig the homerun , no doubt about it. If u you need proof read yesterday game thread. There was plenty of talk about all the home runs but when Az. was hitting nary a word was said about Adkins pitching or his final line for the day ( 5 innings only 1 hit allowed). We would all love having great defense combined with great ofense all rolled up in every player at every position but that just aint gonna happen. That's very true about Belanger. The only way he'd play consistently in today's game is if he was on a team that was already loaded with hitters. Otherwise he'd be a late-inning defensive guy, and make the minimum ( which ironically, is most likely waaaaay more than he ever made back then anyway ).

Crede always shows me just enough to keep the hopes alive, then he looks terrible for 3 weeks. Maybe he has adjusted to the changes Walker and he have worked on, I sure hope that's the case. With no other realistic 3B options ( at least none that wouldn't involve shuffling the infield around ), Crede is very important to the Sox hopes this year.

RIP Terri.

Pablo has earned it. He came into camp and did everything asked of him, and did it well. Congrats and keep up the good work!!! ...I hope he keeps "good ol' #66".....

Tastes Great, Less The Critic.

Yeah, these all feel like Carlinisms....or Gallagherisms.....heh.

Not a fan. She's not ugly or anything, but I don't see anything special there.

I also had to get my sunglass out of the car today. I had to work so I couldn't wear my short.

CNN reporting a "neurological disease" as cause of death and CLTV stated it was a brain tumor. RIP Johnnie.

He told me he wouldn't want to live that way....

Kevin Matthews quit WCKG this week. They wanted him to take a 30% salary cut and only offered two years. That's Stern.....gawn.....Matthews.....gawn......unfortunately, Dahl is treated like royalty there now. Think they'll stick Dahl's kid on the air full-time? I know they gave him a tryout show a couple Saturdays ago.

QUOTE(TheDybber @ Mar 28, 2005 -> 01:48 PM) As the old saying goes, if work were fun, it would be called something else. Or as I like to say, if work was fun, they wouldn't have to pay me to do it.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 28, 2005 -> 01:22 PM) possibly the worst reason to hijack a thread would be to talk about wrestling.......... :headshake I can think of worse hijack themes - college sports, NASCAR, fantasy sports....of course, that's just my opinion, which is no more correct or incorrect than anyone else's....

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Mar 28, 2005 -> 01:06 PM) Big Dave will get the title. And Shawn Michael Hickenbottom vs Kurt Angle is a minor reason to watch, although they will put on a good match, there isn't much substance there for me. Rey vs Eddie will steal the show. Dave and Hunter Hearst the Blue Blood "I'm the worst draw in wrestling history and I married the bosses daughter in the best move I could have made" Levisque are the main reason to watch, but only because of Big Dave...however, not reason enough. Wrestling is at it's worst point in many years, most of these guys are devoid of talent and on TV merely because they are overbloated roid pumpers who VKM seems addicted to seeing. This is the most horrible WM card in the history of WM. It's actually Michael Shawn Hickenbottom.....with a surname like Hickenbottom, I'd get a stage name too! I agree with you, Vince has ruined the business with roid monsters who couldn't promo their way out of a wet paper sack. I'd much rather have a guy like Foley who cracks me up than a bunch of "genetic freaks".

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Mar 28, 2005 -> 12:29 PM) You mean there is actually a reason to watch that crap? Politte will be Politte. Mid 4's era. Good thing we aren't relying heavily on him. Those two matches will be entertaining, in my opinion. You don't agree, that's fine. I'm glad the Sox got Hermanson and Vizcaino to reduce the reliance on Pollitte. I'm much more comfortable with him as the 4th righty option out of the pen, basically the Mike Jackson role.

I think the pay is what's eating at people, not the fact that he has a second job. It'd be okay if he had a paper route for a 2nd gig, right? If he can do both jobs to his employers' satisfaction, I think it's OK.

Happy Birthday, Cali! To celebrate, just grab a beer, sit back, put on your favorite Air Supply, ABBA or John Tesh disc and reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelaaaaaaaaaaaaaax......
