BP Board Game from the '70s That's just weird.

Even though the Dutch are ranked 4th in the world, this is still a fairly shocking result IMO.

I have genuine concern for Felipe Melo's family.

Holy crap Netherlands!

Own goal for Brazil. The Dutch have tied it up.

Interesting Bill Simmons article on the World Cup and US soccer

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 09:26 AM) I'm bored... And sick to death of hearing about Lebron James. How about Beckham and Pierre to the Royals for David DeJesus and Alex Gordon. Then Hudson and another lower level prospect to the Nationals for Dunn. Seriously?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 03:51 PM) Damn it, why does Ozzie ALWAYS play Kotsay? Who would you rather be playing today? I hate how people continually do this. Alexei would be lost against Greinke, Jones has been beyond brutal and our other option is Lillibridge.

Look at what they eat down south. This really isn't surprising to me at all. I'm actually surprised Texas isnt on the list since they deep fry pretty much everything haha

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 11:03 AM) Um, I don't think that will be possible. I thought they picked up V for a second season? I know they dropped FlashForward,

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 10:49 AM) I am not sure about Trout's signability then, but by safe pick, I meant in terms of the team's ability to sign him. I think Mitchell was an easier sign for them considering he is a college bat and Trout is only a high schooler. Isn't that one of the reasons why the Sox went with Broadway and McCulloch? Those are completely different scenarios.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 10:17 AM) Like the Assault weapons ban? Yeah, that worked out great for everyone. Anyway, ignoring the politics of the matter for a moment, strategically, I actually feel this is one issue that is best controlled locally, because it strikes me that Chicago ought to have different gun laws than western Wyoming, for example. I actually completely agree with this. I'm really middle of the road on this issue. I never want my right to own a gun taken away, but I'm also willing to accept that we live in a democracy and if a local rule was in place it's my choice to be there. And on the topic of assault weapons, I can't think of one legitimate reason for those to be accessible to anyone not in the military.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 10:04 AM) Not "summer" really, but I had the entire season of V on my DVR and I just started watching yesterday. So far I'm about half way in, and I'm loving it. It got better about half way through. I liked it. Never saw the original so it's all new to me. I'll pick it up again this fall. Liked FlashForward better but whatever.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 09:16 AM) None that I've heard, but there have been other concerns about his mental state. He was, for example, obviously frustrated and down in the dugout on camera a week or two ago, and there have been games where it looks like those plate struggles go with him into the field. I kinda wish he could hang out with about a dozen of us for an hour and we could all prop him up emotionally with the confidence we felt in him coming into this season. That would actually be quite hysterical

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 09:04 AM) http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/...ar=2010&t=p Lefties are hitting significantly better against him this year, and only 7 fewer PAs than RHBs, so I could deal with it if Ozzie stacks the lineup with lefties, but knowing Ozzie he'll stack the line-up with righties! Forgot it was Greinke. Yeah I guess I wouldn't mind if he sat out either then.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 02:27 AM) http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...amp;mode=linear Nothing unified Soxtalk more than the collective hatred of Billy Koch. What an awesome thread to read through. That thread also reminded me of the old YNOT days on Soxtalk.... Hilarious. Also funny seeing so many old names now banned haha.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 08:01 AM) It'd be a shame if we cleared up the farm for a rental hitter just to later find out that Viciedo can actually hit major league pitching. Give the guy a chance Ozzie. I really hope he doesnt sit today following his game last night, but I won't be surprised either way.

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 01:58 PM) Jose Martinez goes up to W-S from Bristol ...I was looking forward to having him cook for me, but congratulations to him!! Justin Greene going to B'ham ...wouldn't be surprised to see Negron going home. I'm actually really excited about this.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 01:07 PM) What comment did I make up? That he's never scored outside of MLS. And that had been your only justification up until your last post to back up your initial statement on the subject.
