You all are a bunch of pessimist, wow..... I think this team is easily talented enough to go 8-8 with a 2 game swing either way.

Im not going to search for threads but Im pretty sure the universal thought process on the board was that the high A team was going to be very good this season. Think people generally thought high of that team and to a lesser extent the AAA team of having succesful seasons.

Hopefully this means the end of Jay on Around the Horn and I can watch the show again.

boooh Pauly!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 14, 2010 -> 09:45 PM) I'm sure he's a positive influence in the long run...but right now, just getting a new voice in the locker room probably helps wake people up. Plus, hitting a team like the Sox who forgot how to hit doesn't hurt. From my Rangers fan friend is Buck is actually a solid manager but doesnt like breaking in young players is his biggest flaw.

Going to my first game of the season, anyone know where I can get cheap parking so I dont have to pay 23 bucks

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 12, 2010 -> 04:47 PM) Andruw is about as sure fired of a HOF as there ever is. Best defensive CFer of his generation and one of the greatest of all time plus the guy had 400HR's and was a very good offensive player in the same span. He's more of a lock than Chipper, imo. Now that is just flat out wrong, I dont think you will find 1 person who will speak against Chipper going to HoF while evidence of this thread that there is already doubters of Andruw making it.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 11:00 PM) Bren's boy with another clutch bomb. Hopefully in the off-season he can shorten his swing up some and become a legit prospect, seems like he'd be a nice backup catcher if he could contribute even a little with the bat.

QUOTE (Kid Gleason @ Aug 12, 2010 -> 01:51 PM) The last half of Audition. All of Cannibal Holocaust. Cannibal Holocaust is a messed up movie too, still think Ichi the Killer takes the prize though because of being disturbing and just bizzare.

Ichi the Killer, the entire movie is disturbing from begining to end!

I dont know if its explained in the book, but can someone explain The Road to me. Why were they headed south, why was the family following them, and what exactly happened to make the world go bad?

I really hate watching AJ at the plate now, he just has no clue what so ever, almost makes Kotsay look good.

Great job Pierre, fail to bunt him over than get caught stealing yourself, just lucky Kotsay is on team to take the bulk of critism

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:05 PM) I thought you had to wait a certain amount of time before you are able to send someone down right after calling them up You have to wait a certain amount of time before calling him back up.

QUOTE (chiguy79 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:44 PM) The Sox can take BPs money, doesn't mean I am ever filling up at a BP station again. Was great at the Cubs/Sox game when they introduced the cup at wrigley everyone was booing so loud, Cubs/Soxs fans could all agree that BP sucks. The booing was so loud I think they skipped more announcements and took the cup away. Its not like any of the other oil companies werent doing the same thing in all likelyhood

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 08:04 PM) You'd have to think if they are noone will deal with them again... I wouldnt say nobody, but they definitely wouldnt be anyone's focus for a few seasons or untila new gm came and might be permantly off KW's list to work with.

Harrel was a decent prospect a couple years back I think he was the youngest player on his team in WS and his first season in Birmingham but than had some injuries, was a fan of his going back to WS though.

I dig AJ he is fun and all but god I hope this is the last season of him being the everyday catcher.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 07:27 PM) Yep, forgot that he came out and said he wouldn't go to the white sox. But it can't all be on Ozzie, can it? I think if KW really wanted Oswalt he could prob of got it done with the option picked up and get Peavy to convince him.

If Hudson is involved might mean LaRoche could be coming as well.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 03:51 AM) I agree. With all the talk about Dunn, it sets up Kenny with the perfect smokescreen to acquire someone else he has his eye on. I still wouldn't be surprised to see Berkman end up on the Sox or a guy out of nowhere like Markakis. If we did get Markakis which Balitmore would be crazy to trade him I'd be freaken ecstatic.

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 08:13 PM) Home Run for Blackwood!! How has he been so far this season, fixing the holes in his swing and whatnot?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 04:41 PM) More teams? No way. Baseball is the one sport where making the playoffs is an actual accomplishment. I'm just fine with 4 teams from each league qualifying. I'm down with the 150 game regular season. I actually liked the 144 games that was played in '95. 150 games would be fine but in that case Id expand the first round to a 7 game series as well.

The Twins were playing horrible for most of our streak and that is a talented team so not surprising that they are finally on a roll now.
