QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 21, 2009 -> 03:44 PM) Yours too? I rode AJ till Mauer came back. It's worked out well. Actually Mauer AND McCann. Thought process was there werent any more "elite" players left and I figured I could hold one of these guys as leverage later on in the year if there was something I needed. Of course it kinda backfired initially when both players essentially missed the month of April.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ May 21, 2009 -> 03:42 PM) I've had similar fantasies and ATM am working on solving "X" in this particular equation: Team of monkeys capable of training other monkeys automatically + more monkeys + X = $20M dollars for me I want in!!!

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ May 21, 2009 -> 03:37 PM) On a positive game note, TCQ is hitting!!! .227

QUOTE (dmbjeff @ May 21, 2009 -> 03:33 PM) Is everyone stoned today?? No way. I've been telling friends of mine about my pet penguin and working monkeys ideas for years. Never gonna happen, but one can dream.

This is one of the most pathetic games in a long, long time. On the bright side, Mauer is on my fantasy team. For real though, this is beyond pathetic. 16-0 in the 6th inning!!!!! Hahaah wow...

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 21, 2009 -> 03:26 PM) Arent penguins mean as f***? I wouldn't even care about that. Think how badass it would be to train your penguin then one day you're having a party and have your penguin walk in from the kitchen holding a tray or pitcher of something dressed in a waiter outfit. Jaws would drop and hilarity would ensue.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 21, 2009 -> 03:23 PM) I remember as a kid going to a zoo and a guy at the zoo talking about koalas. He said they sleep all day and only wake up to eat or have sex. What a life. I wouldn't be opposed to having a pet koala. Or a penguin.

I wouldn't mind punching Jason Kubel in the face

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 21, 2009 -> 02:59 PM) I'd still want him starting opening day. Tends to not turn out well when someone else does. Which is an honor he deserves as long as he is on this team and maintains his abilities. But I doubt he cares at all at not being "the guy" on the pitching staff anymore.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ May 21, 2009 -> 02:55 PM) So, another interesting point to discuss: does this trade affect Buehrle at all? He'd clearly no longer be the #1/"Ace" of the squad, but I honestly think he's a big enough man to welcome this proven winner and horse to the rotation without any difficulty. What do ya'll think? MB couldn't care any less about any of that.

Betemit strikes again

Sigh Bases loaded no outs and no runs

Alexei works a walk, too bad Podsucknik got picked off or we'd have the makings of a nice inning going right now

Wow Pods...

Not the best inning for the fat one but at least he kept them at only 1

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 21, 2009 -> 01:34 PM) It's blowing my mind how many people are typing "except" instead of "accept". It's also driving me insane. Seriesly. But not as annoying as those who keep saying Richards instead of Richard

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 21, 2009 -> 01:27 PM) NO NSS, so here we go! If we lose, I blame him

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ May 21, 2009 -> 01:04 PM) Poreda on Facebook just 40 seconds ago. Aaron Poreda: Man, this trade talk makes me nervous and excited.... Jake just make up your mind already!! Ha. Well if the trade does go down Poreda probably makes it to the majors quicker than intially expected

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ May 21, 2009 -> 12:51 PM) They've kind of done that already, because if they were just willing to take average for him and dump his salary he would be on the Cubs already What the Cubs offered was trash though

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ May 21, 2009 -> 12:47 PM) This could get really ugly. If Peavy thinks another team from the NL is going to jump in and steal Peavy, he has another thing coming. This could get ugly, and the Sox can't do anything about it. Not to mention now teams are going to come in and low ball the Padres. If I'm San Diego, and Peavy really axed this deal (whatever it was), I don't trade him again to any team unless they get the same value, regardless of what Peavy tells them.

Such a bummer. I was real excited about an hour ago

OMG! For real! WOW!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 21, 2009 -> 11:10 AM) Kenny should mention that we will be moving our fences back 5 feet next season..which I would love to see. Really?
