With needing a 5th starter only twice before Peavy hopefully will be pitching, I wouldn't be against using Carrasco again. He's looked decent during his start and long relief yesterday.

You can just hear Hawk: "That ball hit deep...stretch, stretch! You can put it on the board, YES! Another Macho Kerb Dong by Gordon!"

The Sox were going to have a Beckham Appreciation Day, but Beckham declined saying, "Everyday is Beckham Appreciation Day".

Apparently, Bud Selig is planning on making a rule change where a Beckham solo homerun will count as two runs.

To hell with the Dos Equis guy...Gordon Beckham is THE most interesting man alive.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 5, 2009 -> 05:39 AM) Wait, who is this Beckham guy? I thought he was a soccer player? Gordon Beckham has issued a court order to have "the other Beckham" change his name. He was stated as saying, "There's room for only one Beckham in sports, and that ain't a soccer player."

He is talking about Carl Crawford, right? Not Frank Crawford or Gary Crawford or Cricket Crawford?

QUOTE (Nokona @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 03:56 PM) I think Chicago will be renamed Beckham, IL. At a minimum, the area around USCF will be known as Beckhamville.

Good stuff.

"you want me to stick with the offspeed stuff?" "You have anything else?" "Nope" I went to see Major League 3 in the theater. I was the only person in there. Felt like a tool.

QUOTE (Special K @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 02:06 PM) By the way, if you guys haven't realized, whoever started this forum is just trying to make a mockery of this site. It's clearly somebody who made up the screen name and is trying to rip on the "Beckham mania" by messing with you guys... Stop biting on it. Chances are it's one of us current users who created a new screen name to start this now-classic thread.

And I don't think anyone pointed out that Beckham is spelled wrong in the user name.

Wtf. do you watch the sox play. have you been to a sox game. are you blind ? do you not watch him get the job done ? i bet you people don't even play sports. Try doing what he does. Being a life time short stop then moving over to third and playing it better than fields right now and in a year or two maybe as good as crede. Go f*cking play the game of baseball. Learn how to play the game and please go watch a week of sox games. You know...throw in some more bad English, toss in some "this kid"s, and this could be a rant by Ozzie.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 12:42 PM) Blasphemy!! You just violated God's 11th commandment. Yeah, but I wasn't as good with the ladies.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 12:38 PM) ??? Are we reading the same thread? It's mostly a bunch of humorous over-the-top posts. I know most posts were humorous (and supposed to be), but I sense some real anger.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 12:38 PM) Go f*cking play the game of baseball. Learn how to play the game and please go watch a week of sox games. I played for a few years. Was better than Beckham will ever be, but it got boring. I'm now a janitor.

Lot of anger and hate and yelling and swearing for a topic about one of the best Sox players.

I find it difficult to believe that there are people that never shave the carrot.

QUOTE (False Alarm @ Aug 3, 2009 -> 12:25 PM) i'm also amused by the idea that peavy is "locked into a deal that pays him more than he would receive on the open market today" and "what [we're] paying Peavy could have bought [us] much more value on the open market." what, would peavy get gil meche money if he were a free agent? Peavy would command a big contract on the open market, and would most likely look for a 4+ year deal. Something the Sox do not do.
