hang a star on that one.

The predicament we're in now is why Dale Tallon was fired. I love the move. Unfortunate but necessary. Sell High on Buff and keep the farm loaded with prospects ready to contribute (detroit model).

watching sports at work is not a good idea. When Dempsey hit the post I took my stapler and threw it against a chair. then I played the drums on my desk when donovan won the game in injury time. . . . fun morning.

I really like what Thibs had to say today. Emphasis on defense, low turnovers, rebounding, inside out game. Sounds good to me.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 12:30 AM) Balta posted the site a few posts up. Wow. And I think many knew Gadzuric was going to be traded. Skiles was not a fan of his. Is anyone? I'd rather have Michael Ruffin on the court, at least Ruffin was soo ugly he might scare the other team into missing shots.

:usa :usa :usa LETS GO YANKS (futbol yanks, that is)!!!!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 08:04 AM) In any other season he'd be right. Of course, if he wants to be "The man" and wants to be treated as such, then he ought to have taken steps to publicly shoot down the "I want to play with Lebron" stuff, or the "Bosh to the Lakers" stuff, because if you're going to a team adding LBJ, or the team with Kobe, Gasol, and 2 straight rings, you're the afterthought. I'm a Bosh fan, but does anything about his career really shout out "best player on a championship team?" I understand that he has been the best player on a mediocre team for the majority of his career, but I have never really gotten the feeling that he has the drive or leadership potential to be THE MAN. I actually think he is an ideal #2 option on a team that wins multiple championships. just my .02

Wow, the level of analysis in this thread is truly impressive. It makes me feel embarrassed to look back at how Jason/Myself/Others used to analyze prospects for Soxnet. This whole Soxtalk/FutureSox machine has become a truly legitimate source for baseball analysis, pretty cool to see. However, if you'd like hear about thoughts on the development of Anthony Webster and Jeremy Reed you can shoot me a PM some time. Anyways, I hadn't really heard of Sale before the draft . . . should my expectations be tempered?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 04:57 PM) It's entirely possible that Martz and Lovie don't feel that Aromashodu is the best WR on the team. In his entire career, he's had two decent games (8 catches, 76 yards, 1 TD against the Packers, 5/46/2 against the Lions)) and one great game against the Vikings (7/150/1). Or it's entirely possible that they want to make him earn it. Or who maybe they're clueless. It could be any number of hypothetical reasons that, until you talk to Martz and Lovie about their actual plans for Aromashodu, you won't know. I'm not trying to heap undeserved praise on Aromashadou. I just think he's the best option in what I consider to be a pretty bad receiving corp. His two good games last year were, at least in my opinion, the two best performances by a WR for the entire season. I'm willing to concede that Hester isn't devoid of talent at WR, but I haven't seen him display the type of skill that DA displayed down the stretch in 09.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 03:23 PM) He wouldn't have said it for the last week haha, true.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 04:16 PM) Has the season started and I don't know about it? No, and I understand this is premature . . . but Martz and Lovie have installed Knox and Hester as our starting WR. I'd rather have Aromashadou get the 1st string reps with Cutler now to help build up rapport between the two.

am I the only one who misses DJ's UH-OHHHHHH call? I still do that one with my friends all the time.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 03:02 PM) He's got to get onto a team that can make the playoffs. 2010 Sox?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:56 PM) You've got to give me some postseason time or push 600, IMO. I agree. I have always viewed Dunn as underrated for his productivity at the plate, however, despite his impressive statistics he has never really been viewed as an elite player in the league. He will present an interesting problem for HOF voters though.

Question: I believe Adam Dunn is going to hit 500 steroid free HRs. Do you think he should be considered for the HOF?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:47 PM) DV is much more built. built? I'd say overweight. But I was thinking more facially.

QUOTE (dmbjeff @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:45 PM) He actually looks like Juan a bit I think. I see a little Robinson Cano, no?

come on TANK

Morgan F-Bomb again.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:22 PM) How many pitches has Freddy thrown? If he's at a good number, can he go seven strong innings today? only 82 through 6 ip

Nice display of range there by Gordon.

Willingham using Beckham's intro song? Well I guess he hasn't earned exclusivity this season.

TANK starting the DP!!! Nicely Done.

Eh, at least he put the ball in play. Others have done far worse this season.

TANK got a little over-anxious right there.
