We might have won this division is Robert Duran wasn't our shortstop and our corner outfielders could have actually played the outfield. Better pitch selection couldn't have hurt either.

No. Sleep. Til Brooklyn.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Oct 1, 2009 -> 09:26 PM) Why does everybody wanna give up on fatboy so fast? Dude has been nothing short of phenomenal since his arrival. He seemed a little shaky this year, but let's give him another look see. We almost have to since his stock is the lowest it has been since we snagged him up. Our bullpen becomes awful if we get rid of him. In the 9th inning of a 1 run, pressure packed situation, I still trust Bobby more than Matt; although the margin between the two is slimming (hopefully like fatboy this offseason). Living up to your SN huh?

You ever been in a gym/arena where it's so loud that everything in your area near you just seems to get totally silent? It's amazing.

Fielder would be great if he'd accept an extension prior to the trade, but Boras makes that unlikely.

That could be the secret to their late inning comebacks at home. That; and adjusting the air vents all the time.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 1, 2009 -> 08:51 PM) I think Rios rebounds to his norms next year with a lot less pressure on him. Let's face it, the Sox will probably have zero expectations nationally and locally next year. He's the Javy Vazquez of hitters huh? Nice goin' KW!

Twinkies still fighting. The Sox get to help decide who wins the Central. Ugh.

Werth seems to me to be the guy who is just due for an offensive regression, but hasn't so far.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Oct 1, 2009 -> 08:11 PM) I think he means that Hawk dances around the Rios topic as he discusses the greatest pennant race in Major League history and the effect it had on the Red Sox organization. I don't know... The sentence looked to me like he was meaning to use "allude", which means "hints about."

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Oct 1, 2009 -> 07:08 PM) I sense by the way Hawk talks and eludes to when talking about Rios, I think he has given up on him ;-) Does he elude whilst alluding?

Fear The Reaper.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 1, 2009 -> 02:06 PM) Yeah, I think you can work Flowers in at DH, or even occasionally 1B, and then backup C, to get him at bats, without the need for a 3rd catcher. I mean, the worst case scenario is, maybe once in a season, if AJ gets hurt in the same game where Flowers is at DH, then you lose the DH and bat your pitcher for one lousy game. And as the game goes on, those are PH's anyway. Really not something to worry about that much. So, if you lose your DH, can you pinch hit for the pitcher's spot like the NL?

Eeeeeee! I mean... oh man that sucks.

QUOTE (DaveBrown85 @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 10:26 PM) Cant Kotsay take Wise's spot? Wise was a 40 man call up. They will probably only keep 4 or 5 outfielders - Quentin, Rios, free agent/trade, Pods/Kotsay, minor leaguer.

If Pods is back, Kotsay isn't.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 10:11 PM) I didnt go through the whole list but if Crossover isnt on the list it loses all credibility. Actually, if it isnt in the top 3 it loses credibility. Also, I forgot the name but there is some movie with Paris Hilton that better be on there. It was about some college baseball player liked her but she was dating a rich guy. No night vision in that one. It was there. #20 The Hottie and The Nottie was on there. #67

A few people might be expecting an ABBA video here. No such "luck."

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 09:54 PM) I hate that they included movies that were intentionally bad. Yeah. Date Movie, Meet The Spartans, etc. are meant to be bad because they are parodies.

Hell of a game thread. Sox throw a shutout and we can't even get 3 pages of talking.

Captain Wedgie finally hit the rocks.

Cy Masterson strikes again.

I've seen two of them - on TV for free: Son of the Mask - Over the top ridiculous in a bad way, but not pitiful. Zoom - Semi-clever Disney kids movie - nothing special.

Buehrle seems to be doing okay so far.

I guess that Alonzo Spellman was ahead of the curve
