QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 22, 2008 -> 05:05 AM) So I noticed that the last few games Hawk has REALLY been praising Brian Anderson and got to thinking... Either he is trying to hype him up to increase he trade value, or we are looking at oour 2009 starting CF. Thoughts? Hawk Harrelson's comments will have absolutely zero effect on his trade value. If Harrelson's comments were an indication of anything it would be management working on preparing people for Anderson getting another shot in CF. However, if that ends up happening the Sox will likely have to upgrade offensively in other areas (ie, 3B & 2B). Note: I say 2nd base because Ramirez will be moving to SS.

I actually enjouyed Hostel 2. Thought it was better than the 1st. Dont' know if that is saying a whole lot, but it enteratined me. Saw Hellboy 2 last night at the dollar threatre by me and while it wasn't great it was entertaining. I'd recommend it to anyone whose a fan of such genre.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 04:40 PM) I'm still trying to figure out how this magic number stuff works... all I know is lesser the value, the better. When the number hits 0, the Sox are in the playoffs. The number goes down by one if either of the following happens: Sox Win Twins Loss So if the Sox win and the Twins lose on the same day, the number would go down by 2 points.

Lol, I just saw that...I may just change your username to "OCROX"

Well, now its 5!!!

Outstanding Danksy. Nice to see what happens when a pitcher throws on normal rest. That was just a huge outing.

QUOTE (Felix @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 04:52 PM) Bulls***. Anyone that knows what they're doing in CF actually backs up their corner outfielders, as opposed to just picking dandelions out in center while letting the batter round at his will. Hence why I said DJ was making an "excuse". I didn't agree his statement at all. Griffey should have been there, no questions asked.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 04:51 PM) I just don't get why we threw him so many pitches on Tuesday if we planned on him pitching on 3 days rest? Especially with power pitchers. They are completely ineffective on short rest. You can see he's relying completely on his off-speed stuff. And while his off-speed stuff is much improved, Gavin still needs his various fastballs to truly be effective. However, Gavin is definitely such a more mature pitcher now than he was last year. I still think he'll be able to give us 5 innings at 3 runs. At that point, hopefully the Sox will have tied this thing back up or taken the lead and we'll just take our chances with Richard coming in for a couple.

QUOTE (Felix @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 04:49 PM) Where the f*** was the backup from Griffey? For a guy that has so much experience, you would think he would actually be doing his job once in awhile. DJ was busy making an excuse about how Griffey couldn't possibly cover all that ground to back up the play. Is Clayton Richard available? I'd have his ass up and just let him go the rest of the way. NO need to kill Floyd's arm. If he can't get it figured out, pull him at the 60 pitch mark so he'll be nice and fresh for his start against Minny. Plus I believe Richard is capable of shutting down the Royals.

I'm with you fathom. I've consistently said how much I hate going on 3 days rest. Especially when our guys look dead as it is. I hope Floyd can somehow step up and pitch past this. The offense is really going to have to bail out Gavin tonight!!! Oh and no matter what, I won't b**** about Gavin, he's been the f***ing man for us this season.

QUOTE (shipps @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 12:20 PM) Iam really good at making fun of people. Sometimes harsh and most of the time never to their face but if needed I could bring someone to tears. Not something Iam proud of but I do have the ability if I have to lash back at someone that provokes me. I can back up your wittiness. Youv'e made me cry from your jokes at others. Thankfully those tears were because I was laughing so hard at the many "Juan" comments. Oh and I think I'm quite possibly the worlds greatest farter. Especially for someone my size. Its one thing if a 350 pound dude busts some serious ass, its another when a 6ft 160 pound white boy does it.

Whoooooo.....6.

2nd DP of the game.

I love Gavin. Hopefully we can get a big game from him and the offense can put up some runs so we'll be able to use some scrubs in the pen (or at least not put anyone in huge pressure situations). Thome with the single. Come on Sexy Lexi.

Soon enough the Rays will be clinching. Percival got pulled though and the Twins have a rally going. They still need 6 runs to tie though.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 08:41 AM) She's a good one. No drama. Ass. In all seriousness, congrats bud!!!!

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 07:01 AM) Am I the only doubting Nevin Griffin will do anything ever? He hasn't been healthy since we drafted him and now he is going into his third year of pro ball with a total of like 11 innings in his career. I don't buy any of Griffin's hype. Until he shows he can stay healthy, he doesn't belong on any prospect list. Its not like he has "ridiculous" stuff. Sure its good, but it ain't #1 stuff.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 08:56 PM) You mean Stanzi? He looked like s*** against Iowa State. f***ing horrible. DJK is a decent WR, don't know other than that. Also, this win will look better later than you. Opposite of last year where we got outplayed and won, you guys got outplayed and won this year. Brodell, Strauss, etc. Iowa just outplayed the f*** out of Pitt and lost. f***ing horrible, that would have been a huge road win. Stanzi looked bad against ISU but he looked good today against Pitt and I have no f***ing clue why I had to keep seeing Christensen's terrible self.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 06:50 PM) Frisbee. Nobody has ever been better than me. Nobody ever will be. I'm am probably the greatest...terrible frisbee person. No matter how much I try, I can't f***ing throw a frisbee. I freaking lost a frisbee in frisbee golf (it went into a lake which wasn't even near the hole).

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 03:14 PM) I thought this could be interesting. What, if anything, have any of you thought you had become extremely good at? Basically, what in your lives have you become the closest to being the best at the world at something. Ill post mine after a few others. I would assume nobody here is the best in the world at anything, its basically, have you ever been good enough at something that you have always been better than anyone you know at, and even better, maybe taken something online and continued... All Star Baseball. I never ever lost a game, in fact, I never even played games where the person I was playing didn't eventually give up. I think I was quite possibly the greatest to ever play such a game.

Omogrosso and Long should be much higher on your RP list. Especially Omogrosso. He has a pretty nice arm when healthy.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 06:51 PM) Just remember it was you and I saying that once they clinched, they'd be so much looser and play significantly better than they had been. I'm still annoyed that all of the World Series DVDs don't include the two PK homers in the first inning from the ALCS. Those homers were huge and I definitely remember that. I think 99.9% of this forum was s***ting there pants when we continued to make our statements about how this team would loosen up as soon as they clinched. Once they did, they steam-rolled.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 06:48 PM) Two huge developments: Dotel looked great, and Swisher was swinging with some confidence tonight. Liney looked good and more importantly healthy.

Woot Woot....I think this is going to be the start of a GREAT WEEKEND!!!!

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 06:42 PM) I'd love to see Linebrink set em down in order. He could be key. He looked like he was actually loose out there, which is huge.
