QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 15, 2012 -> 04:00 PM) No one's going to like hearing me say it, but I'd give Morel at least 2 more weeks. If things continue the way they are, Dunn will be dropping in the order along with Morel, and Viciedo will be moving up, and then there will be a De Aza/AJ/Konerko/Viciedo top of the lineup, but then that's pretty aggressively moving Viciedo up. Anyway...I still say this season is about developing guys, so I'd keep Morel there for a while longer. Viciedo should be behind Konerko tomorrow.

So on Thursday they scored a goal when they had a man advantage because the ref's cant count. Now a soccer style flop from the brazillian goalie takes out a player and then gives them a free goal.

What a horses*** call. Shaw is gone and they have a 5 minute major.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 05:43 PM) If I see someone bring their Apple iPad to a game, I'd make it a point to "accidentally" spill something on it. I think tablets so dumb, and then when I see someone who buys Apple's tablet? Facepalm. I find people who have an illogical hatred of tablets amusing. You don't like them, fine don't buy one. But making jokes about destroying a persons property because of your personal biases is sad.

Of course Hawk has to take tv time to defend his favorite pet.

Maybe our vet catcher can stop calling fastballs over and over and over.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ Apr 8, 2012 -> 09:54 PM) That swing was enough for me to want him in the line-up right now. I would rather see the kids play. The fight for 3rd place in the AL central is not enough to start older players. You see what you have. If it sucks, then get better players. No more playing Pierre in front of DeAza because he is a vet crap.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 8, 2012 -> 09:16 PM) He's also getting paid like a MLB starter. I don't see how Viciedo can't hit as well as Cespedes. They won't ever be the same in other aspects of the game, but once Dayan figures it out, he can be a better hitter. The difference is, Cespedes doesn't have our minor league stink on him. We don't develop, we promote to make a guy seem like a prospect for a future trade. See Danks, Jordan.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Apr 8, 2012 -> 08:59 PM) One would hope any positional talent they acquire is close to a finished product. This organization is downright terrible at developing position players. Can you hit a fastball. If so you get promoted. Can't hit a breaking pitch, doesnt matter. Wear your mitt on your head doesn't matter. Run the wrong way around the bases, doesn't matter. Athletic, low average, low obp, high power players get promoted.

Hopefully RV has the balls to keep AJ in line when he wants to catch 95% of the time. We need to start to explore Flowers more this year against lefties.

Did Fuk hit that far?

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 09:28 PM) Yes, why not. It is the eight inning. Dunn and Konerko have been our best hitters. Get a runner or two on for them. The you hit the x then o the square button while holding down the right trigger to activate the power ball.

I think some of the managers here need to change the difficulty level on their xbox's.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Mar 17, 2012 -> 05:54 PM) I hope they use leeks instead... I will have to try the leeks. Might explain why the bowl had less soup in it.

Going to my in laws tonight. Dinner will consist of potato leak soup, black and white pudding, irish sausage, some irish bacon,corned beef and then trifle for dessert. After dinner, The kids are staying over. The wife and I are going out to watch the insanity.

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Mar 15, 2012 -> 10:04 PM) Spring training means nothing. I remember one season the Raiders (my favorite football team) went 4-0 in the preseason, Art Shell's first season back as head coach. It got everyone excited, we were going to be the raiders of old, kicking ass and taking names, they went on to go 2-14 that year and played like a high school team. Since then I just can't give a damn about anything that happens before the season starts in any sport. Spring training means nothing as long as they don't have a slow start.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 6, 2012 -> 10:18 PM) Why should you need permission from the govt to speak your mind? So if protestors want to occupy say Lake Shore Drive you are okay with that. How about the east runway at OHare. Or maybe a level 1 trama ER. You realize that people have the right to protest. You just don't have the right to infringe on others and their rights.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 5, 2012 -> 10:04 PM) agreed. they're hiding from the People. Sure because the people have access to the summit itself.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 5, 2012 -> 09:28 PM) Its sends a bad message. Are we now afraid of protests? The protestors are not the issue. Its the anarchist goons that travel to these events like its their world cup. If they don't burn a cop car or overturn a bus then its not an event for them. This was a disaster waiting to happen. You will have the professional anarchists mixed amongst the normal protestors. its a recipe for disaster. Glad this is not happening.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 01:57 AM) Yeah, if the Italian forwards timed their runs better it could have been 3 or 4 to 1 for them. That said, the US d deserves some credit for drawing the offsides. It's not really a big win though. It's just a friendly. For all the people that overreacted to the earlier losses, they shouldn't be overreacting to this win either. The defense definitely got lucky. I watched them bite over and over and see a guy get sent free. They really need to work on making this a more cohesive defense. Now the offense looked pretty decent. Starting to see a bit more of organization and build up. Instead of the traditional, long ball, long ball, awkward shot. Or counter attack lucky goal. The entire goal of these friendlies are to evaluate for the qualifying teams. And I think we got a slight taste of some good things to come. Hopefully our defense tightens up.

Dempsey is having a hell of a year. Bradley played well. Back line needs to still do some work on not biting on the attacker running up the middle. Nice goal by Dempsey in the 55th minute. 1-0 USA over Italy

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Feb 13, 2012 -> 02:55 PM) Hyundai Sonata Honda Accord I would say those are pretty familiar in terms of using sharp lines, it's a bit more exaggerated in the Sonata but I think many cars are using this style now. I think the Civic is closer to Hyundai's styling. Honda Civic I am getting ready to pull the trigger on the Kia Optima myself. Black exterior with Black leather interior.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Feb 9, 2012 -> 02:27 PM) How NOT to write a cover letter: Imagine interviewing that guy. LOL

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jan 18, 2012 -> 04:32 PM) Does anyone on the Sox coaching staff speak Spanish fluently? I hear Coop does, but does anyone else? This could be a concern. Well I am sure we can do what the Sox did last year and hire interpreters. The only issue is we won't have to hire certain family members who are BFFs with Cowley and tweet a lot.
