QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 8, 2006 -> 01:19 AM) I'll give you the Jeter stuff, to be honest I forgot about that. To be honest though I'm sure after being criticized night after night it just came out, still doesn't make it right but he's human. He has taken some blame on himself and yes there has also been times where he doesn't take it, once again seems pretty normal to me. Maybe class act wasn't the right word to use but I certainly don't think he's an asshole and I don't think he'd have any problem in our clubhouse, that's what I should have said to begin with. IMO though, every thing comes back to the money. Just for the record, I'll love A-Rod here and twice on Sundays. He is, and will be one of the greatest players to play the game. I'm up for the "king's ransom" to get him here. QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 8, 2006 -> 01:18 AM) I think its a good thing. Give me the guy that says "Im the f***ing best, and Im going to show you im the f***ing best." What you just said has flaws that come with that statement.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Oct 8, 2006 -> 01:15 AM) Detroit beating the Yankees frustrates me even more as far as the Sox go. If we had played even .500 baseball the second-half, Detroit wouldn't even be in the playoffs. I have no doubts, even despite all the problems we had, that we could've swept the Yankees. If we just could've f***in' got in. Especially since we PWNED Detroit in the regular season.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 8, 2006 -> 01:06 AM) Why? Explain to me what he's ever done. He gets a bad rap because he makes a lot of money, that's really it. Ugh, why do you do this to me. I don't feel like finding the article, but if you want me too, I'll do it. A-Rod yes is always backed in a corner because of the $$$, but when he says that maybe because he's good looking or light skinned, or that he looks at his stats saying he got five hits in a series where those five hits were just scattered hits not the "clutch hit," calling out his teammates (I will never understand his reasoning when Jeter is basically like A-Rod in the makes more money, good-looking department and he blames him for ALOT) and throwing them under the bus (yes I do realize some of it wasn't entirely accurate but most of it was nonetheless) is not class. A-Rod is what I call a stat watcher. QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 8, 2006 -> 01:14 AM) A-Rod has a huge ego, its pretty clear. It's like a bad tumor how large it is.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 8, 2006 -> 01:02 AM) ARod is a class act I would not go that far now.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 8, 2006 -> 12:54 AM) Buehrle can be replaced. Just like you just said to Tony's post. GMAFB. Don't know if it's the sleep talkin, but your not sounding too smart with this comment.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 19, 2006 -> 07:08 PM) LMAO!

Tigers are not as good as the 05 whitesox, but I'll tell ya what, they look like they got the "magic season." Noone gave them a chance or believed. So far, they are looking good. But they are still not as good as the 05 sox. 11-1 in the playoffs is just too sick.

LVSoxFan, I see you've had alot of free time in your hands?!

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Oct 5, 2006 -> 04:19 PM) He's getting old, quite possibly pushing 40 He's technically already over 40..

God damn Zumaya is a stud. Who the hell throws 103 mph consistantly. Then he backs it up with an 86 mph slider.

Wow... just wow.....

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 5, 2006 -> 12:46 PM) Your such a crazyman........

Happy B-Day bro. Also I'll say a happy b-day to my sister who is 19.

QUOTE(Balance @ Oct 4, 2006 -> 05:26 PM) Sure, but Oakland doesn't have a good track record for closing out series lately.... Nor does Minnesota being down two games. But one of those track records will have to bend.

Question If Frank's a HOF from the Poll Question Stuff like this and what those writers say about him kills me. The thing most said about Frank is how much of a bad guy he is and a cancer and such, most saying you don't have to be a good person to be in the HOF (Cobb, Matthews, etc..) Frank Thomas is NOT a bad/horrible person like how the media interprets him to be. IMO, that would probably mess up Frank the most is how his image is portrayed.

QUOTE(cuddlyboy26 @ Oct 4, 2006 -> 04:46 PM) I know that but the Red Sox can just not sign him and let him become a free agent before then. Given that they will probably want Josh Fields as their starting 3rd baseman no later then next year that should happen before the end of the next 2 years anyway. Your a very confused little boy aren't you?

Hell even in that 0-9 series he had in 2000, he had a 4/0 BB:K ratio. Frank just had some bad luck, plus getting under some pitches. It's not like he was striking out in every apperence he made. The M's staff wasn't stupid, they wanted no part of him. Pitching around him to let someone else beat him is a smart move.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 4, 2006 -> 03:42 PM) Soxace, you'll have to forgive me. I'm extremely distracted, and in no way did I mean we'd lose "ten points" literally. I actually don't know why the hell I put "ten" down in the first place. I wanted to say ten+ homers and a bunch of points in SLG%, but -- I got distracted by the Mets/Dodgers play that just went down, plus the text message I just got from my brother. Ah... gotcha.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 4, 2006 -> 03:21 PM) Figgins over Uribe? The decline in defense would be enormous I think everyone can agree on this. Uribe is at the top of the league with his D. Not too many players in baseball can help us improve more in that area. See this statement right here is BS. Losing ten homers and ten points? By that statment, were losing 10 solo shots. I can live with that. Even if Chone hits like 5-10 homers (which I would prefer 100% more contact than the long ball) we will still have another 200 HR season. We got, IMO, too many guys on this team hitting 20+ homers which basically, are hitting them as solo shots. Our RISP which is HUGE, is drastically going down. The only guys I want to see hitting those dingers (aka 20-30+) even if their solo shots which means, hopefully, those runs are drivin in already, or if they are leading off are Dye-Thome-Konerko and possibly/probably Crede. The rest I want to see them get on base and put the pressure on. Let's say if Chone is here, I'd rather see him with that high OBP, stealing bases (w/o being caught too much) Iguchi moving him along or in and even Gooch getting 15-20 SB then seeing the big bats do the rest. A .300 Figgins, .300 10+ A.J (who can actually line drive the ball to get them in instead of free swining) and a .280 10+ 15SB Gooch, we will will thrive. Don't forget about BA's power. i expect him to be in that 10-15+ homer category to replace those "ten points." But I'd prefer him in LF with that good arm of his. Our D will shoot up with Chone>>Pods in D.

That was just a stupid decision by Hunter.

First there's a power outage at my job so I didn't have to work today, and now I got to see the big man PWN the Twins... I must say this has been a hellova day.

QUOTE(Big Hurtin @ Sep 30, 2006 -> 01:21 AM) Alex Gonzalez (Red Sox) will be a free agent. How much do you think he will demand? Ozzie's man crush. Was it Ozzie who called him "The most underrated/best shortstop in the AL"?

This is going to be an interesting conversation. *Grabbing popcorn*
