Ron Mahay is actually a halfway decent pitcher. I'm surprised he wasnt traded to a team needing/wanting a lefty Runner on 1B, 2 outs in the 7th for the Twins

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 11:50 AM) Except that the Jet didnt sell on Ebay - did you catch that part of the story? You are just ridiculous. Thats not the f***ing point. It was put on E-bay, it just didnt happen to sell on eBay. It was later sold privately. It wasnt her idea to put it there but it was her idea to get rid of it in the first place. She got rid of it, thats the point. This nitpicking of how exactly she got rid of it is ridiculous. And for anyone who wants to say she said the word "sold", have you ever said to someone "i'm selling such and such on ebay" and then the item didnt sell? This is a non-issue

QUOTE (Disco72 @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 10:17 AM) That's disappointing. Maybe I bought into the hype a few years ago, but I thought he could become a decent #5 and innings eater for the Sox. I wouldnt have minded at all if we had kept him around too.

Hopefully BA pinch hits for Owens

Alexei has gotta start taking the occasional pitch

Argh...

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 01:02 PM) I was thinking 4.0... 4 would be awesome. Of course on the negative side, theres also a chance we're only 1 up after tonight. Needless to say, this is a big day

QUOTE (BearSox @ Sep 7, 2008 -> 11:49 AM) I think the only way you are not eligible for the playoff roster is if you weren't on the 40 man roster before September, OR, if you were not called up by the team and on the 25 man roster before September. Either way, MacDougal should be eligible. This is the way I understand it: You are eligible for the post-season roster if you were on the 25 man roster (including the DL) on Aug 31. So, for example, Contreras and Crede are eligible. Now, since Crede may be done for the year, the active roster for the playoffs would only have 24 guys plus 1 (Crede) who is on the DL. Since that is the case we have one open spot which can be filled by any person who was on the Sox's 40 man roster on Aug 31. That was how K-Rod was eligible several years ago. Its a loophole to the rule.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 12:32 PM) This is the kind of B.S. I was referring to earlier. So McCain made a small misstatement. So Palin may have chosen to use eBay to sell something, which may actually have been a good idea. So the f*** what? How does this relate to McCain or Palin's ability to lead?

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 01:40 PM) There's no word yet, but if you want to be optomistic, it sounds like the X-Rays didn't pick it up and he's been trying to deal with it for a week or two, so hopefully it's just slightly fractured. Ok, hopefully that is the case. At this point, i'm not even that upset about this year, because i'm worried about what this may do to him next year and beyond

Any word on how severe it is? A break can be anything from a slight fracture to shattered

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 12:41 PM) Yea, I think we have to take no chances here. We have a chance to win the WS, but it would still be an underdog situation. we also have a chance to contend more consistently for a decade with a player this good (if we retool around him in the coming yrs). I want to push nothing w/ him. You never know when you'll contend for the playoffs/WS and it's hard to hold a guy back when you know he can help. At the same time, I hear what you're saying about possibly not taking a chance with him b/c of what he could potentially mean/do for this club for the next 5-10 years. Its a tough decision if it were to come down to it, thats for sure

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 12:37 PM) I honestly think we can survive losing Quentin. At this point, I just hope he's fine for the rest of his career. As odd as it sounds, I agree. It significant hurts our chances, but if you think about it, we still have JD (great year), Thome (solid), PK who has been good in the past month, Swisher who has shown the ability to get hot for a month, AJ and Lexi. CQ makes us a ton better, but it doesnt completely rule us out. We really should win tonight, it would be so huge if somehow Liriano lost along with a win for us.

Pale Hose 8 has a new strip about Crede up. Its pretty funny. Almost has a Monty Python-esque theme to it

Great to see a stellar performance like that from Cassell. What kind of upside to people think he has? #2-3 or #4-5? I dont know much about him other than he's had a good couple years in the minors

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 12:17 PM) Or just win CO, VA and IA (one of which is already in the bag) and don't put so much emphasis on that unpredictable mess of a state. Question for the one's who know more than me: Is it pretty much a situation where if McCain wins OH, VA, FL he will win and if Obama wins one of the three he will win?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 12:04 PM) You stated the speech didn't excite his own base. I give you an example from the base, and you tell me he is partisan. Don't even bother trying

This is huge. It now makes this game a must win. There is no excuse not to rough this guy up

Twins lost again yesterday. 1.5 game lead

FYI http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26536487?GT1=43001 MSNBC put a poll up yesterday. ~475,000 votes. 59% say her speech was effective at introducing herself and boosting the McCain campaign 24% say no, she spent too much time mocking Obama 17% say it remains to be seen

It felt really weird not being able to check this site at all yesterday

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 10:42 PM) she's doing ok, but not a game changer so far. Other than the family intro, which i thought was a little long/unnecessary, I've been pleased with the speech so far.
