Newsgroper is a parody/satire site much like the Onion.

I like the 6 tool approach. Hit for Contact Hit for Power Plate Discipline/Ability to draw a walk Defense Arm Strength/Accuracy Speed

I'm so glad we signed Mike Myers he makes me long for the days of Dave Sanders and Josh Stewart. Terrible.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 24, 2007 -> 03:51 PM) Insulting effort by Owens on that fly ball. Whoever teachers our outfielders how to get into positioning should have been fired a long time ago. The only player on this team who knows how to run through a flyball is Luis Terrero.

I predicted this team would win 68 games before the season started.

Reverse psychology.

Why did Vick paint the sheds black? Why was he arranging for secret meetings to buy dogs? Why was he trying to hide his operation?

Well I'm about 99% convinced at this point in time that Darin Erstad will be brought back next year as a reserve, which of course means he'll end up starting in 80% of his games played and spend a significant portion of the season on the DL.

I really don't think Fields can his Beckett.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 24, 2007 -> 01:40 PM) Isn't Hall catching, and AJ DH'ing? That's what my gamecast shows. And Pods and Thome are both hurt. Konerko is at DH and Pierz is behind the plate. DH - Pauly C - AJ 1B - Erstad 2B - Richar SS - Uribe 3B - Fields LF - Gonzalez CF - Owens RF - Dye BN - Hall BN - Pods BN - Thome

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 24, 2007 -> 01:38 PM) Oh crap, you're right. So who is on the bench that isn't hurt? ANYONE? No one that I know of. Hall who can really only play 1B/C, Podsednik who I'm not sure can even play the field and Thome who can maybe give you something at 1B if absolutely necessary. Not a lot of flexibility for Ozzie today.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 24, 2007 -> 01:36 PM) The Sox, with Thome hurting, have literally 1 bench position player available for the entire field - Gonzalez. If things get ugly, we could see a pitcher hit, or even worse, a pitcher playing the field. And Gonzalez is actually starting in LF now.

That was a perfectly placed pitch right there by Beckett.

Juan has been damn good with the bases loaded for his career, it's the one situation where he does have success offensively.

Beckett has s*** control today.

Roger Cossack was on ESPN radio talking about the plea agreement, that was the most interesting part of the segment.

Michael Vick is snitchin' and might just get some time off because of it. He could end up serving a large portion of his jail time (which could end up being only 1 year or less total) under House arrest.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Aug 24, 2007 -> 11:35 AM) Did I goof on that? I forget: is it Owens or Richar who can't hit out of the infield. BTW when I say "hit" I mean percentage. I love Josh Fields' power (what a badass!) but jury's still out on whether he will be an above-average hitter. Richar is the one who draws walks and displays the occasional pop, Owens is the one who hits weak ground balls up the middle.

DH - Thames, LF - Maybin, CF - Granderson, RF - Ordonez Monroe was designated for assignment a few days ago.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 01:06 PM) Um, no...far from it. How the hell does that Heder guy have a career??? He only knows how to play one character it seems. Napoleon Dynamite, School for Scoundrels, Benchwarmers and Blades of Glory . . . all the same character. And it's not a particularly funny or compelling character at that.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 12:52 PM) Anyone else enjoy Zodiac as much as I did? Yes, very much so. David Fincher is an outstanding director, it's a damn shame he didn't get the Spiderman franchise over Raimi (who I also like.) Fincher could have done some real brilliant work with the Spiderman character, similar to what Nolan is doing with the Batman franchise.

Saw this on BTF and FJM. I'm still having trouble understanding why this was even written. What purpose does this piece serve?

From Rotoworld: White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said he is thinking about putting Jim Thome in the leadoff spot late in the season if the slugger needs more at-bats to reach 500 home runs. Anything is better than keeping Jerry Owens there. Thome is currently seven homers away from 500.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 11:52 PM) I had a horrible cough a couple of months ago that lasted about a week. Nothing is worse than the sore throat. Amen to that.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 11:50 PM) I have had a sore/ichy throat for 6 days now, and my doc told me the meds I'm on can take up to 3 weeks to work....... Good luck with that, sounds terrible. I woke up this morning with this incredible pain on the right side of throat which is kind of weird. I've been sucking on lozenges all day but they can only do so much, the only thing that's really helped at all were the 8-10 popsicles I've eaten but those only numb the pain for about 10 minutes. It's actually gotten progressively worse as the day has gone on with a pounding headache developing some time around noon, constant sneezing/stuffy noes around 2, a hacking flem spewing cough around 4 and now body aches to go along with chills. I think I'm dying.
