Well I'll have to do it tomorrow now, since my phone died and I forgot my charger at my relative's house.. But I'm definitely doing this..

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 11:11 PM) Matt, there's nothing better than learning how to depend on yourself. It's the best way to mature into adulthood. It's tough and not fun, I won't lie to you. Your telling me. I've been kicked out, strayed in the streets, mooched off friends, had to sell things just to survive, had no car and had to literally walk or sometimes take a train/bus with that little money, etc.. Its damn hard out there in the real world, in someways it grabs you by the balls and won't let go, but I feel it's made me a stronger person esp. knowing what that feels like with AND without a credit or job/education. What's funny is, my friends joke with me that I've experienced a s***load of hell in every aspect, which many people takes alot longer, and I'm still only a couple months from being the ripe old age of 23. Back to the thread, I wish you the best bro. Not sure if your having a roommate or by yourself, but it's awesome exp. in your life. It's always nice to invite your buddies (male/female) over a couple times a week, have a beer/mixed drink, and watch the game, or play card games with everyone/gossip.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 11:04 PM) Ace aked me before you posted this thread. I'm still waiting on a response.... :wub:

Brilliant thread. I'm gonna do it exactly at 12 midnight and back to you on this one bro.

Like I said in yesterday's game thread. Someone should really check Brett Morel's pulse. He is on a nice streak. My boy Dan Black also had a nice day.

Pirates farm is looking awfully nice. God damn I can't believe they got Alderson.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 03:42 PM) But I'd flip TCQ and Ramirez. Not yet. Q has been hitting the ball better but still hasn't gotten the results. When he does and when he gets into a flow again.. Ozzie should make the move.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 03:32 PM) Podsednik CF Beckham 3B Dye RF Konerko DH Ramirez SS Kotsay 1B Quentin LF Nix 2B Castro C Contreras P We'll be seeing him there for years. You hear me fathom, Wite, etc..?! BTW Kotsay at 1B. Have yourself a day in your sox debut.

R.A. Dickey?!?! Oh hell yea please!!

Sox game. Party. Plain and simple.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 10:07 PM) I will say this one thing... he better develop some velocity. He's 18 dude. Relax. Hell some of my buddies who are pitchers in the minors weren't throwing 90+ till about age 20 or 21.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 10:06 PM) I think KW should try to get a solid 3B and move Beckham to SS and Alexei back to 2B and Getz to the bench, minors or anywhere else.... Your logic makes too much sense. Hell I'd preach putting Alexei in CF next year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 10:02 PM) In a perfect world, Getz is your #9 hitter and that gives you some excellent speed when the order turns over. I still don't think Danks is a top of the order hitter, and more likely to be in the 7th or 8th spot. Well as you know everything can change in 2+ years in this buisness. That's why I was pointing out whomever in regards to it. This guy can actually change a god damn philosophy in this organization with his ability to drive in runs, and hit doubles without relying on stealing bases to get in scoring position. It can be 1-0 or 2-0 before the 3 hitter even gets a chance to bat in the first inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 09:59 PM) I don't care if he only hits 18-20 homers a year. With his ability to hit doubles, that would be deadly in the 3rd spot with fast players in the 1/2 spots. Well I agree with that, but I like him as a guy who hardly K's, can take a walk, and can hit doubles and still drive in Danks2, Mitchell, whomever in the future and Flowers or whoever else to man the 3rd spot. If he goes into 3.. you won't hear an argument on my end, but I like a gap to gap machine at the 2 spot.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 09:56 PM) I still wonder where his future spot in the lineup is. I'm gonna say the 2 hole, mainly because he likely won't hit for the power you want for your no. 3 hitter, but you want to get him an AB in the 1st inning. It's debatable. Me, Slav and others see Beckham as a stud 2 hole hitter, with the XBH, gap to gap machine. Fathom, Wite and others see him as a 3 hole hitter, with more power potential, XBH, machine. I honestly don't care as long as he's in the top 3 of the batting order.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 09:52 PM) Anyone. ^^^^^^ I guarantee you if Jayson Nix was left handed, he probably woulda pinch hit.

I was wondering why it took Nathan so long to get him.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 09:49 PM) the easiest save u can get winning by 2 with 2 outs and wise up Maybe Nathan can hang one and... what the hell am I saying.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 09:48 PM) What a f***ing stud! Gordon makes me so happy. He's worth watching anytime really.

GORDON BECKHAM.... Thanks for letting me turn on the TV.

O snap Beckham is up. Time to turn back on the TV.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 09:44 PM) Cardinals and Cubs are probably better than the Tigers/Sox/Twins I'll agree on the Cardinals now. Holliday is gonna help put that team over the top. Book it.

Anyone got the score and inning? I stopped watching after that 4 or 5 run inning.

It's always something about that dome though that makes people look funny. I don't wanna be like Hawk and say it's curse or Kurby Puckett is still f***ing around with it, but I'm just tired of the dome overall. Not even the Toronto dome is this crazy.
