QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 12, 2007 -> 03:29 PM) Turns out that Fields will indeed be working on his left field play this winter, even though he was taken out of the Instructional league due to his heavy work this year (scroll down a bit). Instead, he'll be working on the side with Harold Baines and Daryl Boston (minor league outfield coach) on outfields skills. Where's Lance Johnson when we need him? Baines and Boston are about the last guys you'd want showing the kid the outfield. (Baines was "ok" before his knees gave out, I guess.) Kittle might be a decent LF trainer, but he got DH'ed fast after Luzinski retired.

I see that they're re-releasing "A Nightmare Before Christmas" at special locations in Disney's 3D format. http://www.google.com/search?q=nightmare+b...amp;startPage=1 Put in your zip code for showtimes near you.

Something good's happening, I can feel it!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 10:25 PM) Sweet! I'm game! Seriously, IIRC, one time I believe Dateline or some show like that featured a guy who was spending time replying to these guys and saying that yes, they'd be happy to send him $200 to cover his check processing fees, but they need $50 first to get the process started. And he was actually getting responses. So, you can actually scam a scammer huh?

I personally think it's all that talk about Cornhole myself.

Interesting cornhole boards. semi-NSFW

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 01:37 PM) straight edged describing Razor. That's pretty good. Unfortunately, Razor is now disposable.

How's Uribe's OBP, compared to other mlb SSs though?

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Oct 8, 2007 -> 11:59 PM) You dont think that has a lot to do with the situations he runs in? A lot of times he is running on 3rd and long so teams are playing for pass....Gotta look at the situations each back is running in more than YPC. That may be true, but I say, give him a shot to start and see how it goes. Certainly it can't get too much worse than it already is.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 8, 2007 -> 01:08 PM) They should be running a fake reversed to Hester EVERY time he is in the game. OSU used to run variations of that play 10-12 times a game when Ted Ginn was there. It forces the defense to stay home and opens up running lanes in the middle. They ran it once this game and gave it to Hester. Coincidentally, that was their best and longest drive of the game.

The Bears need to get Peterson more touches. He has a better YPC than Benson.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Oct 7, 2007 -> 12:02 PM) On another note, I was at a poetry slam last night with a bunch of people, friends, and there was this Mets fan there. Very few baseball people, just two of us in fact, but I introduced myself to him as "a Braves fan and a White Sox fan." He said, "You bastard!" and love began. He talked about the Mets, I told him his team would be third for the next five years, he laughed and said "Not behind you bastards!" and we talked. Eventually, I said to him, "You know what? Let's go," and we took our stances, called three and wrestled. I brought him down and it was delightful. All before the poetry slam really started. And when it did, we all read. I brought Richard Wilbur and Lawrence Ferlinghetti's Baseball Canto. Canto, which I posted here once, is quite a poem to read aloud. I don't particularly care for it but I like reading it. If that makes sense. Talk about slash fiction writing.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 6, 2007 -> 01:25 PM) August and September. Yes, the team sucked in the 2nd half last season but we were in the race until about the last 2 weeks or so. He was our best pitcher down the stretch in a pennant race. I'm just saying that Vazquez has a history of performing better when there are no expectations on him. That's all.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 6, 2007 -> 01:18 PM) How do you explain his best months last season being the most pressure packed? The team collapsed after the All Star Break in 2006, there wasn't that much pressure after then. When were Javy's best months?

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Oct 6, 2007 -> 11:23 AM) Javier is doing well today, but doing so on a losing team. I suspect his "success" would be much different if the heat of the spotlight/pennant race were on. I think you're right. I was thinking the same thing: Javy had Montreal flashbacks this year. Team in the tank by June = no expectations = no pressure = a happier Vazquez.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 4, 2007 -> 03:38 PM) Seriously. Since Ronnie is basically unemployed, I am sure he could be had for next to nothing, and that fan base is a perfect target. They signed him for a half a can of Mr. Pibb and three Red Vines.
