Whoever is going tomorrow, the sox brass wants everyone to wear black, and they will hand out black towels (maybe white as well) to wave around. Team Blackout!!! Dammit. Stupid, sexy Mike way ahead of me. Gotta get back into the ST mode. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=67937

4 PM BRILLIANT!!!!

Mr. Harnden is happy.

Great. It's bad enough my car is currently out of commission, so I have to walk in this (luckally my job isn't far at all from where I live) but now I'll be missing the deciding factor of a HUGE game. (plus it's not on comcast to even catch a replay of it) Today (and my life) sucks.

God dammit! Figures I'll probably miss most of the game. I was hoping I would catch this one in before four, but it looks like that won't be the case.

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 01:04 PM) Yeah. You and every other man with a drink or two in him calling every shot every five minutes. Naw Quentins was the only one the whole night. Wouldn't have bothered typing it if that was the case, I would had been straight up wit it.

All I know is KW has a TON of flexibility in the off-season for the 09 season. You got two guys (Thome, Griffey aka HOF's) who are ageing gracefully in their stellar careers. He can get one back, (or let both go and get younger) get your sandwich picks (which would be a smart move) then put Kong in the DH spot and get Swisher and that glove over to first (Kong will be hard to trade anyways esp. with the 10/5, the bad season, etc.. but I wouldn't put it past Kenny) He could leave Swish in OF (prob. RF since they envision Quentin as the future LF and they damn right better be) if he wants and maybe get a good package for Dye to fill some holes in the infield or starting pitching (or even CF if they give up on BA, which I would hate) He might even look to see whats out there for a trade with Swish involved. Even Javy being dealt is a possibility. We all know that OC is probably gone, (high pick) Uribe might also be gone, (ok pick) and perhaps Toby for an upgrade at a backup (they might have sour on Fields also, who knows) theres also a ton of BP arms that KW will probably dangle with. As of the off-season assuming the UFA do leave and we dont pick up the "old guys" options here's what we have... C-AJ 1B-Swish (or Kong) 2B-Getz/FA(O-Dog?)/trade SS-Cuban Missle 3B-Fields (who knows/we'll see) sorry Blalock LF-God (should have a field day with the metal detectors) CF-Golden manlocks (or traded)/trade/FA RF-Dye (perhaps good trade bait?) DH-Kong (or Dye maybe, who knows) Buehrle Pratt's crow Floyd boy Danksy Havy (pitching trade bait? I love Havy though) Richard/Broadway/Poreda/trade/FA [Count done forever] Wise/Owens (not sure about the Tobys, Uribes, even Owens, Bourgs etc.. yet so have fun/go nuts making the bench) Fat man Thornton Lines (no trade clause baby!!) Dotel (I still see him here at least) Carrasco(?)/Booner(I still believe in him)/H. Ramirez(....)/Robert Meiklejohn/The Wass/trade/FA/Jenks throwing up a couple of clones, whatever. This is, of course, assuming some of these guys leave us (we might bring Thome back, perhaps Junior, or Uribe, etc..) Should be another interesting winter folks.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 27, 2008 -> 09:35 PM) 2- Carlos Quentin's walkoff homer against the Angels on ESPN. 1. I was there. 2. I called that shot with 20+ witnesses in the stands around me.

C'mon Gavin "The Stopper" Floyd. 200+ innings and counting for the first time in his young career.

Not a smoker anymore either. I've done more than jus squares though, and yes, I also gained weight.

Happy B-Day guys. Stupid, sexy Santo.

Toby will in fact need surgery on that shoulder it seems. Done for the season and probably his career.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 05:39 PM) Frankly, i'm pretty surprised there aren't more. I'm honestly surprised of you guyz. I thought Me, Spawn (he's 100%) , JoshPR, and Flipoutpunk (the two ricans, part black in them) were the other ones. I knew a poster would do a thread like this someday. I'd thought I'll be sooner.

I just say Black and Mexican mostly. To be really specific.. 35% Black, 35% Mexican, 10% Purto Rican, 10% Indian, 10% Irish (explains my inferior drinking) So in other words... MUTT. I'm also guessing on the percentages.

Damn that young TE Davis is going to be a stud though given the chance. Still has a ways to go... but damn!

A couple of years ago, I kept telling myself in the future to party hard and drink my ass off with BA, and smoke out with Freddy. Love those dudes.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 03:34 PM) Shadows is always trouble. WATCH OUT! So is Leroy Jenkins.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 07:58 AM) That's not Tru. Reread bro. TRU + Dolphins = trouble. I know he's shadows.

Wow..... I can't believe this. RIP to a legend.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 01:51 AM) If the Dolphins end up cutting John Beck, what a waste of a draft pick. I mean, it always has been kinda of a waste considering he was drafted much higher than he was supposed to be and was 25 years old. But, to go from 2nd rounder to cut in a matter of a year and a half would be pretty bad, especially at a position that team needs so badly. Agreed. TRU, your my nig, but for someone who really defended this pick at the time I don't see you liking this.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 09:23 PM) I was just going through some of the stats. Carlos Quentin is literally god-like in close games. Before tonight, Close and late, 1.160 OPS. Innings 7-9 in general, 1.100. Eat your heart out Ortiz. Those are MVP type numbers. There will be a thread by a poster here soon talking about the MVP race and how close it would come especially with the 1st place teams. (or second/third if close in the hunt) IMO, not even looking at stats, I would say it's a Quentin, Hamilton, A-Rod, Morneau race (I think Youk is having a damn good season too) and I'm sure someone here will probably compare each player.

So... how long will it be till we hear someone here say "Give the job to Hanie" or.. "Let 'the future' be the QB" ?

I'll just simply agree with the above posters here.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 05:46 PM) Yes, it is. Granted I don't listen to much rap on my own, so this is going by stuff on the radio, but everything is either about A)Hos, B)Shooting people, or C)Shooting people who banged your hos. Naw. Mostly stuff nowadays is mostly about stupid dances or your "ice" unless your listening to TRUE hip-hop. ( the Commons, Nas, Lupes, Cool Kids, Bones, etc.. etc.. of the world)

I'll be switching back and forth from the sox and bears game.
