To reiterate my point, Jon Rauch is a complete prick and I wouldn't care if his arm fell off and he never threw another pitch in his life. And no he has no obligation to be nice to fans, just as I have no obligation to say I hope he makes it on this board. It works both ways. And about Borchard, it is fine if you want to rip into me about my praise and like for him, but it is for the fact that he took time out of his schedule to do an interview for this very site and has on other occasion taken his time when he could have been doing other things to talk with me. That is something I can appreciate. If you'd have seen first hand the way Jon Rauch treats fans here in Kentucky (and he is from here; and no this is not just on one occasion) you will realize my reasons for not liking him. But since you are not in my shoes and do not know exactly what I am talking about, perhaps you don't understand. And that is fine, because I respect ya Cerbaho and your points are well-taken always in my book.

You are correct, it should be sizzling rather than simmering.

Kinda like how you get all hot when talking about Sir Sidney... BTW, are we tailgating Braves series again?

That's what I said when these thoughts crossed my mind...

Hey now, that's a sensitive spot there Steffy ...In all seriousness, I said not a word to Wang & Owens about him personally, other than to wake up to see what kind of year Joe is posting and that I thought that his trade and thread was posted.

Thank you voice of reason... Am I really calling Brando the voice of reason? Looks like it. Has indeed Brando really become the voice of reason lately around here? Looks like it. Did I ever think I would go a day without arguing with Brando over something? Not a chance. What in the world is going on here?

Like I said, his damage recently has come on the road, so don't blame Charlotte's park for his successes. And telling someone to wake up or that a thread is pointless is far less out of line than telling someone "I missed the memo where it stated you have all the f***ing answers, kid." And for the record, I am not a kid, just wanted to clear that up. Maybe you are old or something and think that since I am younger that I am a so-called "kid", but since you know not a damn thing about me, you haven't the slightest clue.

Thank you for your analysis, Harold Reynolds. BTW, it was pretty much apparent that you had no clue as to what type of season Borchard was having, so yes, WAKE UP. And his recent damage has come mostly on the road, not in Charlotte's sandbox of a park, Sham-me.

Thank you, otherwise someone was going to go crazy with their screen widening every 10 damn seconds.

Since he didn't HR today, I am changing Joe's status down to "simmering". Thanks for the update MnSoxFan

Also, you are forgetting about Uribe, who is our SS next season. We aren't trading for a SS, this trade and thread are completely pointless.

.288, 9 HR and 33 RBI and he's healthy, give me a break, if you paid attention to what was going on you would realize he was hurt starting the season, is now 100% and is tearing the cover off of the ball. His K's are also down this year. Wake up. And please take your Shamm-me picture out of your av, it makes you too troll like.

Quit trying to trade Borchard, he is just now coming into his own.

I think it's going to be a RF home run porch that extends into CF, at least that is what I have heard....Who knows though.

Where's the home run porch? Enough with this nonsense, where's the home run porch? Looks like a pretty good idea to me, glad they are doing something better for the kids. Those instruction areas they currently have that you see when you walk into the park look pretty s***ty to me.

Give Lisa Dergan Sox pre and post and I guarantee viewship will increase.

This right here is enough to triple attendance at the Sox Wives for Charity booth at Soxfest.

Happy B-Day to a great poster and a Beatles Fan!!!! Have a good one!

In terms of official Beatle albums & singles (UK versions) only one Buddy Holly song was covered.... Here is the answer to that trivia along with the song title and album it was on: Larry Williams and Carl Perkins covered 3 times each Williams: Kansas City (Beatles For Sale) Dizzy Miss Lizzy (Help!) Slow Down (on UK EP Long Tail Sally) Perkins: Matchbox (Single; also on EP Long Tail Sally) Honey Don't (Beatles for Sale) Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby (Beatles For Sale) This could be up for debate I'd suppose, but I am going to go with my Prof. (a beatle historian) on this one.

CW, U.S. releases to me are meaningless...The Beatles themselves disagreed basically with the content of every US release and at times didn't even know exactly what songs were on the US release...Our prof. told a funny story that they saw what was on one US release when they were walking through a music store while in the US and to their surprise, songs that they hadn't even planned to have on a US release were on them. The real stock in Beatles music is in the UK releases, which the Beatles for the most part had control over 100%. Now I do understand that you probably were a younger listener at the time when these albums were put out in the US, so to you, these are the Beatle albums. But for history's sake, the Beatles thought of the UK albums as the true albums, which are as follows: Please Please Me With the Beatles A Hard Day's Night Beatles For Sale Help! Rubber Soul Revolver Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band The White Album Magical Mystery Tour (only had four new songs, but still considered an album) Abbey Road Let It Be Yellow Submarine and Hey Jude were not official Beatle albums in the UK, that is why I don't include them. Of course, if you are talking release, Let It Be was released after Abbey Road, but Abbey Road was their last album recorded.

I'll stand by my first statements...Jose take your .230 average elsewhere... (Lucky for us, he isn't hitting .230)

I would have him be the last resort, that's how much I cannot stand him.

And by the way, I didn't include Magical Mystery Tour because I don't prefer to think of it as a complete album... :puke
