QUOTE(shoota @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 10:06 PM) Don't forget I want two more dominant bullpen pitchers. While I still have plenty of criticism of Joe Crede, I can't honestly say that I want him replaced. And Anderson has my support in center. I do want a new SS, hitting coach, two lights-out bullpen pitchers and replacements for Garcia and Garland if they cannot pitch as well as they did last season. That might be more than a tweak, but still short of blowing up the team. That's 20% of the team right there. That's called blowing it up.

WOW, BA's sac bunt (that's right) actually worked.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) Wow Juan has 2 hits BA has a double and a walk. When have we had these guys each reach base twice in a game. Opening day, April 13, April 28, May 14 and today.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 07:52 PM) Baseball is a game of superstitions...or was it inches? Every sport is a game of inches.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 06:06 PM) Mike Jackson appeared in his 1000th game, I believe. Actually it was his 1000th strikeout that was the milestone though he did appear in his 1000th game in '04 with the Sox.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 04:36 PM) Refuse to. Same, that and Myspace seriously creep me out. I have no problem keeping in touch with people from high school through phone and AIM.

Last year Arlington was not too nice to the Sox, they need to send a message this time around.

QUOTE(valponick @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 02:59 PM) I used to keep the game threads open while I watched but I don't anymore because like kap pointed out the tone is poor. I also think this board could do without all of the F-Bombs and swearing in general. I have this site blocked when my nephews come over and get on the net to read about the sox. That's pretty much one of the most unique thing about Soxtalk, it doesn't have ultra strict rules on vulgarity and such. Which is something you don't find at a lot of sites.

According to George Offman he lost most of his teeth and messed up both knees to go along with all the usual facial and head lacerations plus the collapsed lung and broken jaw.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 02:58 PM) When players get a steroid suspension are they still paid? Because that would cut a chunk out of his cash right htere. I do believe it is unpaid.

Appearantly Jason was also suspended 50 games today by MLB.

The worst thing was the constant attacking of an opposing team's fan who was in the thread but not even posting. Talk about petty.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 12:59 PM) Mexcellent sig. It's scary how similar that pic of BA is to the one of Rowand. Works perfectly.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 12:57 PM) I saw it, but figured in no way should I ever be allowed to correct anyone in this site for spelling/grammar. Haha, that would be sort of the ultimate insult wouldn't it? Having your spelling corrected by you.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 12:54 PM) What's a kneck? I hate you.

Wickman was throwing 96 MPH in the bottom of the 9th inning last night according to ESPN FWIW.

What's so hard about turning your neck again? My god, lets complain about everything.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 11:05 PM) He asks for the stats didn't he? Isn't Detroit a good offensive team? Buehrle sucks against the Indians, as does Contreras this year. I really don't understand what is so fasicnating about pitchers struggling against team that have a good/great offense. ...and as for facing the "weak" offense teams, what do you want Freddy to do? Lose? He's shutting them down. How exactly has Contreras "sucked" against the Indians this year? He's had one good outing and one bad outing against them this year. Usually above average pitchers will find a way to get passed above average/great offenses. And Detroit is an average offensive team (16th in baseball in Runs scored).

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 11:00 PM) 54.1 IP, 49 H, 10 BB, 31 K's, 2.98 ERA, 1.09 WHIP Is it too late to get him out from under the bus? So now we have to hand pick his starts like the Cubs do for Wood so he doesn't face any good offenses?

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 10:46 PM) How did your blind date with that guy go tonight? That's no way to talk about your sister.

It's a system of cameras placed in select stadiums used to grade umpires. Curt Schilling could explain better.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 10:29 PM) I feel very stupid right now. I know we did not win, but I can only imagine the energy over there. If the sox won, I would have felt like that redsox comeback scene in fever pitch. did anyone else also leave early? What a loser. :headshake

Probably the best loss of the year thus far.

QUOTE(tigerfan @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 09:30 PM) Eh I don't know, Cleveland may retailiate back in the bottom of the 8th. I doubt Westbrook would risk it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) I'm too lazy to look this up, but in Pods 5 starts this week vs Tigers/Indians, did he have any hits? Thankfully he had the hit yesterday. 3 hits for the 2 series.
