QUOTE (iamshack @ May 5, 2010 -> 02:07 AM) I don't mind people being pessimistic. You are one of my favorite posters. But annoying is annoying, whether it's by constantly just focusing on the positives or constantly focusing on the negatives. Or just ZEROING in on Alex Rios. You didn't hear that Alex Rios kid that was born the other day was with jphat's ex?

Wow, Andruw isn't picking the ball up tonight.

That was awesome Juan! Make me like you!!

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 5, 2010 -> 01:04 AM) So that somehow entitles him to makes us all sick with his commentary about the SAME f***ING PLAYER OVER AND OVER? I don't care what you used to post...if you're going to repeat the same negative s*** over and over again, people are going to get annoyed by it and call your ass out. I never said it did make it right, I was just saying that he's been around forever and it's like he went bizzarro jphat.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 5, 2010 -> 01:03 AM) I cannot believe anyone would give jphat007 any crap for being negative. This guy was the ultimate optimist for years. I think he feels burned and he's skeptical. I will be the first to say I think he's too negative this season, as I feel his hatred of Rios and Nix was a little too much. However, I don't like the posts I've seen the last couple of days questioning people for not posting for one reason or another.

Better swing by Beckham on the 2-0 pitch.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ May 5, 2010 -> 02:00 AM) Bam. I posted the same time as you! And don't give me that s***. I've been sitting here rooting for this team for a long time. And been positive (overly so, ask fathom) for a long time. But I'm not gonna sit here and act like everything is cool and good when it obviously is not. jphat in 2005 would b**** every single time a line drive was hit by the Sox at the defender. He would say every time "we can't catch a break".

Let's get a cheap hit and a homer

QUOTE (jphat007 @ May 5, 2010 -> 01:53 AM) Well, now we know why Floyd signed that contract. Gavin's fine, I'm honestly not worried. Give it a month, he'll be better than Danks.

Wow, hell of a play by Konerko. I think he was safe at home.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 5, 2010 -> 01:53 AM) Based on what, 22 games at AA. Lets let Morel mature a bit before we promote him. He looked awful in ST, as if he was overmatched by MLB players.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ May 5, 2010 -> 01:49 AM) I can think of a million places other than USCF that I'd like him to be as well. This is one lousy player we have on our hands right now. Really not sure what options they have. It's becoming obvious that he can't play 3rd base. Gavin just can't get MLB hitters out unless he has his good curve.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 5, 2010 -> 12:47 AM) Teahen looks so stiff to me. He also looks like a guy who would rather be in a million places other than USCF right now. Chances he's another acquisition that gets unloaded after the season because he didn't fit it?

Teahen not doing himself any favors with the crowd by the lack of hustle. Be better if he didn't miss that pitch by 2 feet. He needs a few games off, he's back to first week Teahen again.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 5, 2010 -> 01:42 AM) Really? The frequency of posts are in direct relation as to the suckage of the Sox, but carry on. Yeah, no. I completely disagree. I'm posting a lot in the game threads, win or lose. I was at the game last night, so sure I wasn't on when they were playing well last night.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 5, 2010 -> 12:38 AM) And the leading posters in this thread tonight, jphat and fathom. We know how this game's going. Huh, I just got home like 5 minutes ago and have 2 posts on this entire game. Thanks kap, but I'm here every f***ing game.

BTW, lefties are hitting like .360 against Floyd this season. Does he even throw that solid change he threw last season anymore?

DJ and Farmer were ripping Juan Pierre in the bottom of the 1st. Said it's incredibly stupid to be running on the 3-0 pitch. I love how he tried to steal on that play, but we didn't run on the 3-2 pitch with Jones up.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 3, 2010 -> 02:09 AM) I watched FNL on DirecTV this past fall and will re-watch it on this run. It was great. Yep, the new main character is awesome.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 4, 2010 -> 11:43 PM) Bad writing = dead show. I made it through two episodes. The last month it was awesome, far superior to the crap on Lost this season.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ May 4, 2010 -> 11:27 PM) Kaplan and Phil Rogers arguing fervently on CTL. I cant decide which guy is dumber. I despise David Kaplan. I hate him more than Mariotti.

Mordecai's double that inning is just a great piece of hitting, and a fantastic memory in my life. I remember Ozzie going nuts in the dugout.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ May 4, 2010 -> 09:35 PM) BTW, I for one don't think we're doomed at all. I think we have a very good team overall that could do some serious damage in the playoffs if we get there, but the problem is getting there. There are a couple players I will not mention because I've b****ed about them since they came here, but I genuinely believe that if we get a big bat to break up the righties in the middle and push one of these crappy players out of the picture, we will be able to kick some serious ass. So that's what I want to see. I do not in any way see our current situation as a fire sale situation. Paulie and Jones have their resurgences along with Rios being Rios just makes me that much more confident that if we make the right moves early we'll have a shot at getting to the playoffs. You brought up a great point. Adding a big bat not only makes the offense better, but it also eliminates someone who currently makes the offense worse. At the game last night, you couldn't help but feel hopeless whenever Pierre, Kotsay, or Teahen were up.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 4, 2010 -> 09:22 PM) And btw, I know the Hawks played last night but what a terrible showing of fans last night given that it was half price Monday and the weather was immaculate. But I guess it's to be expected with the way the team has played. Half the people there were young kids who have Bieber Fever. It was supposed to rain yesterday, FWIW. I was impressed by the fans there who were extremely harsh relating to Pierre and Linebrink.

Didn't the actor who played Eko get a DUI, and that was the beginning of the end for him?
