QUOTE (iamshack @ May 31, 2011 -> 08:37 PM) You're so full of bologna...dude was a 1st round draft pick. Stuff has never been the issue with him. So was Luke Hochaver or however you spell it. And his stuff is definitely not plus.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 31, 2011 -> 08:35 PM) No, but you're singing Matt Joyce's praises as an MVP candidate after 2 months... Joyce is 4 years younger and it's a lot easier to project position players than it is pitchers. And I never said the Rays should go on and lock him up.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ May 31, 2011 -> 08:30 PM) Why not? He's got pretty solid stuff and good command. He's got a good curve. But his stuff is hardly plus at this point. He's on a hot streak. That's how I see it. I'm not looking at him as a future staple because he's pitched well for a couple months.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 31, 2011 -> 08:31 PM) haha Contreras? You mean had the Sox gotten Contreras when he was 27, but when Contreras was 27 he was a monster. Even Loaiza is a pretty bad comparison, because Humber was quite the spect out of college. The better comparison are guys like Gavin Floyd, who had stuff but just couldnt put it together. Humber has talent, and its nice to see him putting it together. Look, Humber is not a sub 3.00 ERA pitcher. The comparisons I made were simply based on the Sox taking a project and getting a good year out of them. Humber is almost 29. I'm not buying that he's cured. Or that we should lock him up after two good months. lol. GMAB.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 31, 2011 -> 08:27 PM) This actually does ask a legitimate question. At what point during the year do we try locking him up for a couple more seasons? You must be crazy. This reminds me of when everybody wanted to lock CQ up in May of '08.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 31, 2011 -> 08:14 PM) I don't really see why he can't be a permanent part of this rotation for years. In Coop I trust. This has been another awesome performance. For years? No. I can't see that. He's basically on what Loaiza/Contreras were on. I don't think Humber is a guy that can do this for the next 5 years. But ride his ass as long as he's hot.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 31, 2011 -> 08:24 PM) I don't want to hear any "we won the series" crap after the game. Sweep these punks. + infinity This was the mantra in '05 and it almost cost us. I hate that lackadaisical attitude of because you win the first two games of a series that the last game is moot.

QUOTE (Wanne @ May 31, 2011 -> 08:22 PM) extended time off.... He's been arguably the worst every day CF in baseball. Which is disgusting considering his physical talents.

QUOTE (Wanne @ May 31, 2011 -> 08:20 PM) lowest too who?!? People in the league still know he's a damn good pitcher...and a lefty at that. It's not like it's some sophomore slump. Y All I know is we better get at least two studs in return if we do deal him.

Looks like I've missed a good one. Where has the domination come from? Please tell m Dunn has done something?

QUOTE (T R U @ May 31, 2011 -> 02:57 AM) Thats why you're a fan and KW is in the front office.. Pierre isn't garbage, but, that doesnt change the fact that Dayan should be up here.. either way, Juan isn't hurting the team He's not? Every single standard stat or advanced metric you can come up with says otherwise. Replace Juan Pierre with Dayan and you lose absolutely nothing.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 31, 2011 -> 01:33 AM) I'm not a big Pierre guy, but I commend you for pointing out that he's actually been pretty good of late and not a big problem. He's been horrid of late. But BA is not the telling story with JP. Yeah, he's going to get his fair share of singles because he never strikes out. But that's all he offers. And when those singles aren't falling in for hits, he offers nothing.

Asians or Mexicans? Whom do you prefer, Soxtalk?

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 30, 2011 -> 11:13 PM) It would be nice to see Pierre lose all PT to Viciedo. As soon as Juan snaps out of this little hot streak he's on, that's exactly what we should do. But we won't. He already has. There's no such thing as a "hot streak" with Juan Pierre. It's simply a case of some of his weak ass singles falling in for hits (BABIP). He offers nothing outside of a sissy single.

I hate Felix for making this thread. Whenever I see it I die inside just a little bit.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 30, 2011 -> 11:15 PM) I see your point. I definitely don't think Sox hitters know how to execute the bunt. Omar does. That's it.

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 30, 2011 -> 11:09 PM) Anyone with any idea of baseball knows that bunting there was a stupid call. Lester just walked two in a row, and started morel off 2 and 0. There is no reason for any manager to keep the bunt sign on there, especially with Juan on deck. Ozzie got really lucky he didn't cost us this game, even though he tried. Bunting as much in the AL as this team does is stupid in general.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 30, 2011 -> 09:44 PM) Sox win 1-0 in game threads You're the GT guy until we lose. After that I take over.

Indians got raped by Toronto. It appears they're coming down. Now is the time to make a push. 8.5 out I believe.

Very pleased with tonight's performance. JFP! And the offense.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 30, 2011 -> 09:34 PM) Is Matt heating up with the warm weather? Doubt that. Just his true talent level coming to the surface, hopefully.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ May 30, 2011 -> 09:28 PM) I used to hate the munchkin....but I'm really becoming a fan of the little dwarf. If you told me before the season started Brent would be a full 1 WAR before June I would've mocked you.

Is Lilli our third best player after Ramirez and PK?

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ May 30, 2011 -> 09:20 PM) wow...i understand throwing some high heat, but for the love of god....don't make AJ have to stand up and jump to catch it Not like AJ does much else. Make his ass work.

Remember the days when Matt Thornton used to be great? I don't. I've forgotten. I remember!
