Welp. My midwest is screwed but, I think I'll be okay. http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/t1/518004

My bracket's doing pretty damn good. I think I might finish top 10 in the Soxtalk Bracket.

QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Mar 23, 2008 -> 10:46 PM) i know it is a silly question but i'm not a baseball know it all. it's silly cuz i know hawk will say 10x within the first week alone that: a. the pitchers are ahead of the hitters b. the hitters are ahead of the pitchers which one is it? Trick question. If opening day's final score is 2-1, Hawk will say a. If it is 10-9, he will say b.

QUOTE(Brian @ Mar 23, 2008 -> 09:36 PM) Really? I can't tell if it is all natural or not. I'm not talking about air brushing, I'm talking about plastic surgery. If they can look you in the eye, they're fake.

He seems to me to be more of a European League player.

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Mar 23, 2008 -> 09:34 PM) seriously... get back to me in three months. Fixed!

I hope that this thread is sarcasm... sigh.

Some would say that in the early to mid 80s that he was already an outfield statue.

Some nice replays of the Mikita/Hull, Esposito retirement ceremonies on CSN this afternoon.

He might be worth a look as a compensation pick between rounds 1 and 2.

We already had softball.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Mar 23, 2008 -> 07:30 PM) Well then. Sorry for the surprise.

No, I posted my post in the wrong area, I moved it. Then, since you replied to me, I moved yours as well.

Would a Wisconsin/Washington St. Final Four score end up like 23-20?

They'll probably ask us how our mom allowed us to put the sticker on her car.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 23, 2008 -> 05:32 PM) I just hope we don't get posters coming into the thread asking us why do we care. If everyone here posts like you do, they won't ask that. They'll already know that we don't care.

This team can be a third place team. Minnesota will be down and KC isn't there yet.

I like how the ex-Big East schools are starting to take over as the bigger powers of the ACC in men's basketball and football.

Be Good Be Sad

Some pretty solid games this afternoon.

Georgetown's being given a tough time by Davidson.

QUOTE(southsidehawkeye @ Mar 23, 2008 -> 02:07 PM) Hey All, Long time reader... first time poster! (i figured this year I would actually try to join the conversation) . . . Anyways, Im sure that all of this has been said before and Im not really adding anything new. Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents. on a side note: I am getting really excited for baseball to "officially" start. I think the sox could surprise some people this year! Welcome to Soxtalk!

QUOTE(scenario @ Mar 23, 2008 -> 01:49 AM) I'm trying to rationalize what we're hearing now based on a series of posts/conversations that took place on the board back in November. For example: "LHP Aaron Poreda: Poreda complained of a hurting shoulder & elbow and the player development guys said he had complained much of the year (this is why he missed a good portion of time mid-season). Poreda is a disaster with his arm swing and is an injury waiting to happen. He possesses some power stuff, but he has no feel for a breaking ball. He can't spin a curveball or a slider. At this point, he projects much more of a pen-guy than a starter, but even that is in question because of his inability to throw a breaking ball to keep Left-Handed hitters honest. The West-Coast coordinator & regional scouts both lost their jobs for this draft pick recently. Should say something about his future ability."

I'm just trying to understand how people could be fired for drafting the player who is considered the top prospect in our organization... and who management is talking about fast-tracking to the majors. What am I missing? Perhaps not everyone is right all the time.
