The more stuff that comes out, the more I am glad that Carlos is gone.

Since this is considered Non-Sox, I moved it to the Sports Bar.

Effective immediately, Soxtalk will implement the following guidelines on user signatures. If you have any questions regarding these guidelines, please feel free to PM me. 1) Users are allowed to have one image in a signature, not to exceed 525 x 200 pixels. This is obviously a give or take situation, as we are going to make a judgment call on most if the size is close. If something is obviously much bigger than the guidelines, it will need to be removed. 2) Text is allowed in signatures, not to exceed FIVE lines of normal sized writing. If oversized text is used, it should not exceed three lines. Up to 10 lines of text is allowed if no image is present in the signature. 3) No links to sites with subject matter deemed inappropriate by Soxtalk moderators/administrators, including but not limited to pornography, gambling and other illegal activities.

Did we ever get a picture or confirmation that Koch was in the stands?

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 01:11 AM) A guy on the radio here in AZ speculated that Koch was a steroid user, and that's why his velocity fell from mid 90s to high 80s. Might explain his lack of production lately. I heard the same thing from one of my sources about two years ago.

I'll be at work during the game.... GO SOX!

Non-Sox goes in the Sports Bar.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 08:23 PM) someone posted it on a different message board that was getting the d-rays game on tv. I don't have a dish but I think it was the Tampa telecast What message board?

Why is Honel still 11th?

Reportedly Sean May is not going pro according to greasy who was watching sportscenter....

There is always room for a shooter in the NBA, which is something Luther Head is very good at, IMO.

More disturbing evidence:

Like I said, this girl just doesn't care anymore. I doubt she ever releases another album.

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 04:26 PM) They're skipping Mays, so we're going to have Buerhle vs. Santana on Sunday Night. I'm hoping to get some really good seats right behind the Sox dugout for Saturday or Sunday -- a couple of people I know have them, but they are probably going to both games. Where was this announced? Just wondering.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 04:23 PM) Jermaine ripped that ball (or, from what I saw). It was a plus that he got it to the right side, but if that ball's a foot higher, that's a double, easy. He ripped it, but he did try to go the other way with it, which he did. Hawk and DJ made note of it during the whole at-bat that he was trying to go the other way and I believe he fouled a few off to the right as well.

QUOTE(Molto @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 04:27 PM) I don't think there was anything wrong for them to mention Lee, Ordonez and Valentin. Should they have said ... "guys who weren't necessarily into the team concept."? No, that was stretching it, but pointing out which players are gone is fine by me considering what Rowand said. Now, had they of written a big long piece off of Rowand's comments, yeah, that would've been sad, but what the writer did wasn't as bad as you guys are making it seem. Talk about making something out of nothing. Good point Mario. I agree the team concept comment wasn't necessarily the best wording, but all three of those guys did swing for the fences a lot, especially Carlos and Jose.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) OH man, I didn't read the article... UPN?!?!?! What a joke. Exactly, MTV would've been okay or another network like Fox. But UPN is just plain terrible.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 04:19 PM) Deron Williams #2 PG? Whoever picks him will be very disappointed. He is a good passer, thus the assists, but he is far from a PG in my mind. He can't create shots in an NBA style system. So unless some coach adopts the Weber offense (not gonna happen) he has to be a SG IMO. I think he's a PG in the league for sure. The guy was clearly the second best player in the entire tournament and he did it running the point. He's got an NBA body and was the best passer besides maybe Felton that I saw. As an added bonus, you'll be able to count on him for 12-14 points per game. And his defense, well he shut down two sure fire NBA players in Salim Stoudamire and Francisco Garcia and made Rashad McCants disappear in the second half. He may lack some quickness, but with his size he's going to be tough to shoot over. How do you know that he can't create shots in an NBA style system? That is just a baseless assumption at this point that can neither be proven or disproven. There are a lot of guys playing point guard in the NBA right now that I wouldn't take over Deron Williams and this is coming from a Michigan State fan, not an Illinois lover.

Since Rowand didn't say it, I will say that I thought that some guys (ie Lee, Maggs, Valentin) were selfish in the fact that they often swung for the fences in situations where they just needed to move a guy over. It was so refreshing to me yesterday to see Jermaine get Paulie over and then his quote after the game was even more impressive. This one game made me a huge Jermaine fan.
