So the end of the world comes in less than 55 minutes.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 09:46 PM) It just loaded (although is slow) on my laptop. Still not on my desktop though. Yep, just loaded on my laptop too.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 09:42 PM) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eon8 # A viral marketing scheme created by an as-yet unnamed company or corporation. This is pretty much what I assumed it was from the start, though it would be somewhat silly for a company to create any amount of panic or worry throughout the public and then just unveil some product.

Well, I just checked on my desktop again and I was able to get on but still nothing from the laptop. Kinda strange.

For whatever reason I can't get on the site from my laptop, funny whenever I had gone to it in the past I was on my desktop but now that I try it from my laptop with both Firefox and IE it refuses to load.

This has peeked my interest over the past few days. It doesn't load on my browser anymore, anyone else having this problem?

Adam Dunn is NOT clutch.

This is quite possibly the best idea ever brought up on Soxtalk.

QUOTE(tigerfan @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 08:54 PM) Almost identical to Coco Crisp's last night. Same situation too basically. No, Coco's was diving backwards full extension, Granderson wasn't even fully extended when he got to the ball and was diving to his side not back towards the wall. Though it was a very similar situation.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 08:51 PM) If Pabs is DL'd, I honestly have no idea who would come up. Where's Pedro at now a days?

I f***ing hate Curtis Granderson, nice grab right there.

QUOTE(loltrain @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 07:10 PM) Figgins is hitting .253 with a .669 OPS so far this year :/ Yes, he's struggling this year as is the rest of that lineup, of course he has scored 52 Runs this season and has stolen 27 of 33 bases. Last year he was pretty damn productive . . . 290 AVG | .352 OBP | 113 R | 8 HR | 62 SB I personally love the little scamp and will not rest until I get him in a Sox uni, his versatility alone is worth giving up something of value for him.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 06:49 PM) the mod's opened pandora's box. Seems like it's mainly concentrated to one thread, perhaps you could ignore it?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Juan Uribe has the creepiest voice for a man of his size.

Brian Anderson was the ace of the Royals staff for a time there, hard not to notice him. I remember he was actually half way decent in Arizona too, I believe he's been around for like 13 years now.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 04:34 PM) Ah yes, hindsight, beautiful retort. BTW, it would have been a double if he didnt dive. . . . and it was a triple with the dive . . .

I'm on it guys, I'm not promising anything but if I have my way we'll never have to see Podsednik play LF for the Sox again.

Damn, those pics are so airbrushed they almost look cartoonish.

Garland . . . masterful, after the 1st inning. Kudos my boy. Uribe . . . amazing game all around for him. Kudos. Podsednik . . . horrible as usual. McCarthy . . . sick out of the pen. Kudos to you as well. Thornton . . . continues to be my favorite pitcher on this team outside of Cotts. Kudos to my real boy.

Matt is awesome.

I really do love Matt Thornton, he has become so studly with his high 90's heat.

Neifi Perez is not a major league baseball player but Brandon McCarthy most definately is.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 04:10 PM) That's fine. I never said that was the wrong way to think. I disagree though. I'd rather have two very hot bats against righties in the lineup. I understand that you don't care about defense but that's cool and all.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 04:06 PM) He hit the ball hard twice today. THat doesn't mean he is heating up on offense. Pods is hitting .350+ in his last 50 ABs. THAT is heating up. He's hitting .272 since June 11th, hitting the ball incredibly hard right now and playing superb defense. I'll take that over a couple singles from podsednik followed by being picked off then making horrible play after horrible play in LF.
