I'm still dissapointed that my Rex Hudler disguise didn't work.

Unless he knows a different place to pull stats, I don't think anyone would have a clue. I do know that the Sox did move Reed for at least a few days to left (or was it right) so Borchard could play center. It was rather recently too.

excellent idea. I just noticed the yellow ones are 20 bucks, screw that

Welcome aboard SoIL. Jim, I don't know if Rauch is throwing the slider anymore. After his labrum injury he stopped throwing it and I had heard mixed reports on whether he's throwing it again or not. Prior to the injury it was considered a plus pitch. That along with his good curveball and solid fastball made him difficult to hit.

OMG, I'm a retard. Now the true debate, do I pay 15 bucks for a tshirt

Where's the yellow one? I can't find it.

Man, what I'd give to get Zambrono. Zambrono is a freaking stud.

Well Rauch pitched out of the pen today, which may or may not of been to get him in line for the 5th spot. However, that wouldn't make sense, but thats what they did with Diaz too for whatever reason. I guess its to give him a little work until Saturday, but I'd of let him do his usual and then come up on his normal turn on Saturday. Then again, maybe it isn't Rauch.

But Crede did absolutely clobber that double in the game.

OH I agree, I think the deal makes sense from both sides to a point. However, I don't quite see how Maggs fits in, even if he is capable of playing CF. But it was basically a pretend trade just to get people interested. Obviously the writer did his job cause we've definately had some good debate in the thread

Alright, where the hell do I buy that shirt. That shirt OWNS

A commencement is not the place for someone to get up on their soapbox and push their political views on someone else. I don't give a damn what views they have. I hate it when teachers and other people in positions of authority go out on their soap box yapping when it has nothin to do with anything. Teachers are more then entitled to their opinion, but almost all of my teachers would get up on their soapbox and completely go nuts if anyone had the balls to step up and say something against them. I did it numerous times and I had even been sent to the office on more then one ocassion (this was in highschool and middle school) for supposedly causing a disruption in the class. And to make things short, I never once shouted, yelled or was rude when I made my statements. Sorry but I hate jagoffs that go out and make this big ass political viewpoints in places they don't belong. Since this is a message board, this is the perfect place for me to put this rant I should add that I had one class where the teacher would open up discussion (during the last presedential election) and even though she had different opinions she would say her thing and then always go to the view of a republican right after. THen it would go back to a democrat or a more liberal person. Basically everyone would be able toa dd their own opinion and their would be a little back and forth. The republicans ended up getting a little perspective on their side as did the democrats on their side and the indy's got their say in as well. Everyone came out more educated because they knew where others stood and sometimes peoples opinions would be changed because of it. Now thats the way a discussion is meant to be had. If your not willing to let it be discussed and openly discussed then a teacher should be suspended for bringing it up (Like I say, I don't give a damn if its a republican, independent or democrat). Hell this year in college I had a professor come in to do evaluations and while he was in the only things he would say were talking about how we need to vote Bush out of the office. A few people tried to make a statement and he told htem to shut up and run for president because they could do a better job then Bush (albeit it was funny, it was further proof of a professor only pushing his agenda). I also had a class where a republican would push his views. I may of agreed with him but he was a dick none the less.

Most of which seemed to be with two outs. Plus Jose was an absolute hole in the lineup. It was just as bad as having Randy Johnson in the 6 hole. Hey come to think of it, he could provide some left handed pop and solve our starting pitching problem

I'll take this game over a 3 hit game. The Sox got their hits, the problem was they just didn't come in the clutch. They hit the ball hard all night and went up against some good pitching and to me had at least a few tough luck outs. It happens, the teams offense stayed hot and thats what makes me happy.

I just know as of late it seems like every outing he is giving up runs.

I'd agree with you that Clement isn't as good as he is pitching although I would say that you could debate the fact that Clement does posess front of the rotation stuff. His slider is sick and his fastball/sinker has good life on it. Even though he's a two pitch pitcher, both of his pitches are excellent and are tough to get hit hard. He isn't a #1, but I think he's a good #2. I also don't see the Cubs giving him up, although their has been a lot of speculation (especially early in the year) that the Cubs would be willing to deal him. That was before Wood and Prior went down though.

I'd say when the Sox call up their next starter, it may be Politte that gets sent down (if he clears and I don't see why anyone would pick him up).

Lol Brando, I'm so used to debating you that I forget we actually agreed for once on Perez. I think me and you were his two biggest backers

Umm Brando, Perez has arguably been the best starter in the DOdgers rotation. He's been very impressive with a 3.32 ERA. I was a big proponent of getting Odalis and its looking like he would of been a very good pickup.

Hawk just said he had no idea on what happened to Maggs.

Way to go Joey B

My bad, brain fart.

Everytime Jose has hit in this game, its been a bad move. Jesus, at the very least he could of gotten guys on 1st and 2nd. Hell, the best thing to do with Jose up would of been to bunt.

For f*** sake...this is god damn ridiculous. Can someone explain the logic. Do they just want him to get the Golden Sombrero or whatever you call it. :fyou Jose and :fyou Ozzie for letting him stay in there. Ozzie, you just got your ass outmanaged by Showalter.

Seems like Hawk is conceding to the fact that Jose can't hit the breaking pitch.
