BELTRE!! Kalapse, go have fun.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 06:12 AM) What a tremendous bust this guy has been. Rafael Betancourt was supposed to be Jack Wilson during one of those Jack Wilson good years instead he's Cesar Izturis minus the glove. That's right even his once excellent defense has all but disappeared. What's wrong with this post?

Bettancourt is a terrible offensive player.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 05:05 AM) don't Though I did have a dream that I went to a Sox game with Barack Obama last night. Cool segment on E:60 tonight about Reggie Love, as he plays basketball with Obama. Love was a walk-on at Duke.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 05:57 AM) Man cards are to be turned in on your way out of this thread. I'll be honest, I watch it with the wife. It's also a great topic of conversation with the hot girls at work.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 04:56 AM) i don't know, but that 2004 season wasn't just a blip on the radar, it was a seismic event. how to explain it...? I don't know many other factors. Can we consult Esteban Loaiza?

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 04:56 AM) nice boobs,new seattle reporter, natalie zalouis. She was awesome

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 04:54 AM) one thing is certain, if you'd told me last winter that i'd be staying up late in August to watch a twins game to see if the Sox could maintain a lead in the division, i would have laughed. This thread is more active than the game thread was tonight. Good thing I watched the Hills earlier so I could watch this. BTW, who is that Seattle female reporter? Holy hotness

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 05:50 AM) speaking of steroids, Jeremy Reed in CF huh?

How similar are Johjima and Iguchi in terms of strong rookie years, and then drastically fading?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 05:46 AM) He has never been directly linked to the Sox, but seems like a typical Williams target. I know a few have brought him up for next year(wite especially) and I would love it. Funniest thing in baseball is when he appeals his own check swing.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 05:45 AM) Who says I'm negative? I'm the only one who had a ! at the end of mine.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 04:43 AM) freudian slip?? No, trying to be funny

I'll take it!

FWIW, I believe Lopez is the best hitter in baseball with 2 strikes. He showed it that AB. It will shock me if Clement gets Beltre in.

Great base running by Beltre, and OC boots the ball at SS.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 05:38 AM) Dear god I f***ing hate small ball, Lopez puts himself in a big hole because he f***ing sucks at life. I was thinking the same exact thing.

YES!!!! Great job by the bullpen. Considering what went on today, it could have been much worse.

Thought that was a blooper by Cintron off the bat.

Ugh....Anderson playing at the fence on what should have been a routine fly ball.

Terrible AJP...way to try and pull that pitch.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 02:05 AM) They have, arguably, the best CF prospect in baseball and THE best catching prospect in baseball. Wieters will be the #1 offensive prospect in baseball in postseason publications.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 02:04 AM) It's hard for me to believe the Orioles have the best anything in baseball. Roberts/Mora/Markakis/Huff is a solid 4some.

Alexei's awesome. Johnson is a huge groundball pitcher, so AJP will have a difficult time not hitting into a DP.
