QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 04:29 PM) But at the same time, that arm is a large part of what makes him a plus defender. He makes plays up the middle and on the DP turn with his arm, that pretty much no other 2Bs can make. I'm not discounting it, I just view it as his defense as a whole, rather than distinguishing the two.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:22 PM) No, Beckham has plus defense and a plus arm. Thats 2 tools right there. Eh, he's a 2B. People usually only reference arm strength as a tool for outfielders.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 01:30 AM) Terrorism =/= Hate crime Completely different. So if there was a terrorist attack in this country because the perpetrators hated America that doesn't make it a hate crime? They're often quite similar actually

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 12:51 PM) I've been going to the Riviera Maya area over the past 6 years every May and have alot of input on all of the All-inclusives if you have any questions. There are TONS so you can always great a great deal. IMO the best all inclusive brand in mexico in the Secrets/Dreams/Now chains. This year we went to Jamaica and the resort may not have been as "nice" as the ones we stayed at in Mexico I thought the overall atmosphere was better. I've also done the DR, but thats the type of place if you have any aspirations of going off resort you simply cannot do it. We did that when we docked for a cruise in Samana and in hindsight we definitely should have done a cruise sponsored excursion. We were fine but almost immediately after we took off from the dock I became uneasy

QUOTE (Real @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 04:28 PM) so scoscia played last nights game under protest what happens if the league rules in his favor? Game would have to be replayed from the time of the protest

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 01:47 AM) Thanks for the input so far. I agree with shack, why go to Vegas if not for gambling/poop parties Never report to us here how your vacations go

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 12:28 AM) Just finished GoT....great book! Does the first season pretty much mirror the plot of the book? I am not going to ruin anything for A Clash of Kings by watching season 1? Season 1 pretty much mirrors the first book. A few slight changes and a few things were pulled in from book 2 but nothing that would ruin any reading of the second book

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 08:45 AM) Conor Jackson and Dan Johnson could be pretty important in SEPT. Same with having a 3rd catcher. We're surviving just fine at the major league level with only two lefties in the pen...we hardly have needed Septimo, actually. Saladino's going to be lucky to hit .200 at Charlotte one would think. Why do you keep insisting on making judgements like this based on ridiculously small sample sizes?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 04:35 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN #WhiteSox agreed to terms w/ Dewayne Wise on a minor-league deal. Also completed Brett Myers deal with #Astros: sent Chris Devenski as PRBNL Wow, Myers trade even better now. And Wise is a perfectly good player to have down at Charlotte. We'll see him again in September. Actually, I wouldn't even be opposed to bringing Wise up and sending Danks back to Charlotte for a month so he can get a good solid months of at bats in before rosters expand

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 12:19 PM) He'll probably post that at least 10 times this season. Don't they play 16 games though?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 05:44 PM) Ozzie will not quit. He'd never do something like that

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 08:01 AM) Not sure why you think Vegas seems way too expensive. Southwest flies there from Midway so airfare won't be too much. Use Priceline and you can get 4* hotels for $50-60/night and 5*/resorts for $100/night. Buffets there are pretty cheap as well. Yeah Vegas is wicked cheap. When I went we stayed in a suite at the Monte Carlo for like 89/night. Vegas is only expensive if you make it that way with gambling/drinking/etc...

Oh and Cream soda is f***ing great

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 09:31 PM) Dr. Pepper sucks. Almost as bad as the worst soft drink ever made, cream soda. Porn? If I can get a 3-some with snookie and jwoww? Hellz yeah. Besides that? Not interested even if it was presented to me. Most porn girls are gross. I couldn't imagine banging a girl that i knew going in that she had taken probably 150 loads in her mouth. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Heh. Irony.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 02:48 PM) What would non-random responses be, exactly, if the question was about participating in porn? How are these not random? I would do it, but only in Europe/The Valley I would do it, but only with non-white girls I have an Asian fetish And a simple Yes/No suffices for the dr pepper one. I like Dr Pepper, but it's not my favorite soda. But with your wording neither answer fits

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 02:08 PM) This thread title gave away the identity of its author. And the randomness of the answer options confirmed it

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 02:04 PM) Was Real the one who said with all due respect, anyone who likes this hire doesn't know s*** about baseball? That was my favorite post. We all have zero experience coaching and managing in the major leagues, yet we all always point out the correct way to manage and coach. It seems crazy to think if a run of the mill message board poster knows all that needs to be known about managing, a guy with 2000 games played wouldn't know the first thing about it. I could see if he had a personality that clashed, things like that, but experience was the reason the hire was panned. He had plenty of baseball experience. Yes QUOTE (Real @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 05:21 PM) if you're a fan of this, you don't know s***, and i'm being as honest as i can be. QUOTE (Real @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 05:22 PM) his qualifications? you know his f***ing qualifications, don't sugar coat what you "know" to make the move seem less volatile, it's a s***ty move, let's be f***ing honest here and cut the bulls***

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 01:29 PM) Hope Johnson isn't the PTBNL in the Myers deal. Ayala and Jaffe continuing to struggle mightily. Chris Beck has a 4.00 ERA, but a pretty miserable 26 hits in 18 IP. He really needs to get straighted out by the coaching staff and Allen Thomas. 8 games. 30 at bats. He's barely 18. And he's only struck out in 6 of those at bats so he's putting the bat on the ball

QUOTE (joeynach @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 12:31 PM) I dont think Youk will be back. Someone will give him around 30M over 3 Years, and I dont think that will be the White Sox. White Sox would probably do something like 2 Yr 16-18M. White Sox have a 12 or 13 million dollar option on him

Is it me, or has it seemed like ESPN has spent about 80% of their pre-season coverage on the Jets, 10% on the Saints and 10% for the rest of the league?

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 12:19 AM) This might be your best post ever. You stayed on topic, no weird tangents and it actually made sense. What's wrong with you? And no unnecessary name drops!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 09:28 PM) So, Youk comes back next year and he's still a more than reasonable option to stick at AAA for when Youk's back goes out? Honestly, yeah. No point in sitting on the bench getting 3-4 at bats per week.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 03:47 PM) How does that make sense. He hasn't had a full season in years and we are riding him into the ground. I'm amazed his agent hasn't griped. Its a tribute to the type of gutsy player he is, but its also stupid and if I were his agent I'd be pissed cause the Sox are really pushing him in a contract year. I know the Brewers did it with CC, but there is a lot of money at stake (plus I happen to want a productive Peavy down the stretch and the more we do this, the more I wonder how fresh he'll really be). And if he's not effective/productive as our veteran leader, this team is in trouble. I've felt Robin has pushed the starters too long in several instances this year. Peavy and Sale being the biggest two
