I'm ashamed of this thread. I expected more jokes and I had to wait till Flash's post to get them going?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 10:37 PM) Hudson hasn't made an Major League start yet. Torres has and has proven that he is unable to throw strikes. I'll take the road less taken at this point. His major league debut.. 6.0 IP 6 H 3 ER 3 BB 3 SO was very solid against a good TB offense. He struggled against Cleveland with his control in just his second ML start and already he's "proven" or "trash" as others have called him.. Ugh.. I'm not saying Torres is the definite answer especially considering his future is in the pen IMO, but I'll take a guy whose had a great year in AAA IF the sox were closer to first as I stated considering Hudson is still only 2-3 starts in AAA and getting used to a higher level. Now I agree with you that we should look at the future in Hudson partially because I don't think the sox can win anything the way they are playing, and I think Hudson can't be any worse than Count, but I believe it's just a bad matchup against the Yankees. But this is baseball so you never know. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 10:38 PM) I think starting Hudson in Yankee Stadium is just asking to be blown out. No disrespect to him, but a guy making a major league debut against the best team in the AL on baseball's biggest stage is disaster, and if the Sox start him in NY, I know they have waved the white flag on the season. Agreed completely.

God Tyler Flowers is an exciting looking prospect. Kenny's big game talking him up, and Tyler is backing it up.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 10:17 PM) I can't wait to see Neal Cotts in Yankee Stadium... Nice. I mean I would hate to see Huddy up this year for the posters who aren't patient enough especially. I would love to see him don't get me wrong, but making your debut against a very patient Yankees team when you've struggled with pitch count in AAA (from jumping from AA, whose hitters aren't as patient) is not good. I don't like our chances anymore though, so I wouldn't mind seeing part of the future out there. If we were closer to first, I'd probably say Torres without a doubt.

QUOTE (hogan873 @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 04:29 PM) Well I would say to just win out the rest of the season, but then MLB officials would become suspicious of the influence of SoxTalk on the White Sox players' ability. QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 04:30 PM) Well I learned last night that making positive posts will cause the team to win so I'm trying my best. Apparently the team spends an inordinate amount of time reading this forum. In the words of Hawk to Stone.. "That's cold man".. you guys are cold

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 04:26 PM) 6?? I'm thinking 14 at least. In this division, 6 is all you need to get to first.. if that.

Notice how in this round, everyone is just saying random stuff?

dont stop get it get it

People better get used to him. We still have him for a couple more years with a no trade clause contract.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 09:44 PM) Because back then we could swear on the board and now we can't? I have no idea if you were joking, but if you think that's the reason then that's sad. That could fall in the "partly" reason, but even that is pushing it.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 09:35 PM) Partly. But a lot of those people ended up getting banned. Everything got real nice around here in late '04-'05 (surprise! haha) but I swear the past 3 or 4 months have been beyond ridiculous. There was a thread dedicated to Octavio Dotel sucking based on his second outing of SPRING TRAINING! I mean, come on. You ever wonder why I (and many others) call the 04-05 years the "Golden Years" of soxtalk? You ever wonder why some outstanding posters don't really post much (or at all) anymore partly because of this? (other reasons as well, but that's another day) It's no secret in my eyes.

Hey now.. he was very productive in that 1 out he got... eh... eh.....

The Red Sox literally gave us runs today, and we still lose.

Lift and pull baby!!

I'm down for this. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 05:12 PM) Whats with Tony Dungy becoming Super Advisor/Agent? He making Rosenhaus and the other agents look bad promoting their clients.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 04:42 PM) I read every one of your posts as if Beckham is saying them, with that look on his face. It never gets old

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 06:25 AM) Do the Rockies have the mojo going right now or what? Down 4-1 in the bottom of the 14th and they come up with 5 runs, highlighted by a walk-off grand slam by Ryan Spilborghs, to beat the Giants 6-4. Colorado is 53-26 since Jim Tracy took over for Clint Hurdle. They're only 3 games behind the Dodgers. Amazing run they're on right now. They are really fun to watch. My second favorite team in the MLB now (and I'm not just saying that cause I'm the GM of their team in a fantasy baseball league) I mean I love watching the young guys play. Dexter Fowler..

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 03:09 PM) Carlos hitting 3rd, Dye down to 5th. I'll take it.

"You were a former Cy Young Award winner Stone Pony" "Runners on 2nd and 3rd, nobody out, and we can't do a thing with it" "That's a hangwiffum (sp?) for Thome" "Carlos Gomez is just an unbelieveable talent"

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 12:33 AM) I cant get this girl who I work with out of my head. f*** long distance relationships, my head (and eyes) wander so much when they really wouldnt otherwise. dont stop get it get it

QUOTE (bobryansson @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 09:52 PM) Quentin's been a major disappointment, so we ought to add his name to the list. Just cashng the checks. Ya that league minimum he's really loving right now...

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 09:29 PM) hudsons pitch counts worry me ...especially if he gets called up against a patient team like the yankees For impatient posters begging to see him, he's just not ready yet. Let him finish out the year in AAA then next season reevaluate him. He might stay in AAA a bit longer and gets called up later on in the year, makes it out the 5th spot in ST, whatever. It's nice to see Flowers getting that walk rate up. He and Gartrell are really adjusting well in AAA.

One of the ugliest games I've seen in a long time. Just brutal.
