Bautista dominating us is one of many embarassing moments of this year.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 17, 2007 -> 10:27 PM) We'll take Jordan Danks too high of profile. Think more like some unknown Division II undersized player with a lot of heart and a good tourney. Thats what we will pick. It will take 3 days to find video of the player.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 17, 2007 -> 10:24 PM) Exactly the point I was trying to make....we better pray for a spending spree this offseason. If you want to see what we are getting for next year, find who is on the 60 day DL or find out who is injured for the year right now. Lightning in the bottle is our method. Something cheap, that has some upside.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 17, 2007 -> 10:22 PM) I love your high expectations. Although, let's be realistic here. I'm sure next season will be considered one of the weakest draft classes in years. It would only be appropriate for the one draft we're in position to have a high selection is the one where the talent is baron. If we pick at 10, they'll be no Tim Lincecum available. You just know it. They'll be no, "talented player who drops due to signability" such as Rick Porcello. Oh I am convinced that next year will have the talent. I am absolutely convinced that this ownership will not pay the slot or more to the point overpay for a stud. We will pass and sign some turd that has one tool and they will pass it off as finding a nuggett of gold in the strawpatch.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 17, 2007 -> 10:21 PM) So, I just realized we're only missing one starter due to injury right now, and all our starting pitchers are healthy.....YIKES! Starters is a generous word. Pods and Grinderstad can only start for this team, On other teams, they are pinch runners and 4th OFs. We over use role players.

Uribe would of had it, if he was told it was a pizza.

Pods and his pussy arm made that into a double.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 17, 2007 -> 10:14 PM) Holy cow, Richar is trying his best to keep me unimpressed. Looks like a weak, slap hitter right now. I was at his first game, he looked good solid contact. Then he was probably given some advice.

Can someone explain why the glass brothers(pods and grinder) are staring just about every game. This just tells me that KW will bring both of these turd back for next season.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 17, 2007 -> 10:05 PM) We didn't trade for Floyd to be in the bullpen. If he's there, I want Williams to own up and admit he drastically overrated Floyd. Someone has to be held accountable when people fail at evaluating players. I can't wait to see what we do with our top ten draft pick next year. I expect an absolute stud that will help us in less than 2 years with a top ten pick. I am sure however we will pick some signable guy who will take below slot money. Someone who probably thought they would go 2nd or 3rd round and will be happy just that they made it in the first round. Toolsy is what we will hear, and no one would of ever heard of him.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2007 -> 11:37 AM) Of course...if Mr. Santana stays with the Twins, then Mr. Santana also does not wind up pitching for the Yankees or Red Sox in 2009 and doing his best to make those juggernaut's totally unbeatable in a playoff series. Whats going to hurt the team more long term. Facing a guy in your division, who dominates you so much that they keep altering the rotation at times just so he can face you. Or the possiblity of facing him in the playoffs. Lets worry about the playoffs when we get to the playoffs. Lets hope that Omar Minaya has a special twinkle in his eye for him.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 17, 2007 -> 11:23 AM) I'm a bigger fan of the game of baseball than the White Sox, for one, and I think it's better for the game and its fans if players remain with their teams for a long time. Kind of a feel-good thing, and I didn't really start feeling that way until I heard George Brett talk about that. Besides, players remaining with one team usually means a discount and usually means normalization of baseball economics which have been out of control for quite awhile. If Santana stays in our division, good for him and should-be good for us. I'd rather have our team face the best in baseball than, say, the crap of the game. If Santana stays in our division, the only thing we are good for is 4 to 5 guarenteed losses. Which could balance the sox getting into the playoffs in a year. I am a fan of the sox, and could give a flying crap what is in the best interest of other teams.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 17, 2007 -> 10:07 AM) It makes me feel good to watch hometown heroes stay in their hometown this year. Keep it going, Santana. You are a Twin. Period. Are you seriously a fan of this team? Why in the name of god would you openly hope that a guy who absolutely dominates us game in and game out would stay on his team which happens to be a rival in our division. I hope he and CC find a nice NL team to give them a bucketload of money so he can sail off to the never reaches of the earth. Any destination right now outside of our division sounds great to me. The NL would be a jackpot. This guy pummels our team over and over and you hope he is a twin, thats rich.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 16, 2007 -> 10:56 PM) Those commentators are more ridiculous than when the Cubs hit a walk-off. My god. And what the hell was the goalie doing? Has he never seen a free kick before? I mean, it was a nice shot, but the goalie looked absolutely clueless. I hate Beckham with a passion. For the pretty boy image, for the overratedness on the pitch, for the dumbass contract, for all the stupid hype, and mainly because people know more about his wife than his days at ManU...when he actually used to be a really good player. I haven't watched any of the games he's played in the US, and I don't plan on it. He doesn't interest me at all. I like Beckham as a player, but the entire Planet Beckham is a bit much. The kick was nice, good bend high and away. Everyone in the stadium, watching knew what Beckham was going to do. I could of predicted where the ball would be placed as Beck pretty much hits his free kicks the same way. The only one who had no clue what was going on was the goalie who didnt even move on the kick. He almost was in awe. Now with watching MLS football, and how bad they are on set pieces I can see why this could be. It was a tough shot, but not even to move is just bad. To me Beckham still has a nice crisp pass, and a nice free kick. He doesnt play off the ball that well anymore, his fitness is bad and he doesnt move free without the ball.

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Aug 16, 2007 -> 04:52 PM) Gameday made it look like it went about 330 ft. Farmer said it doinked the pole.

f***.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 16, 2007 -> 04:15 PM) So my reward for sitting through a hour meeting with our attorneys and finance on Intellectual Property risks for our business is to come out to see Piazza 2 run dong Javy. Well Richar and Thome making this better than listening to attorneys.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Aug 16, 2007 -> 01:38 PM) But of course: if I don't worship Thome, I'm "ignorant." Pfft. So my reward for sitting through a hour meeting with our attorneys and finance on Intellectual Property risks for our business is to come out to see Piazza 2 run dong Javy.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Aug 15, 2007 -> 11:05 PM) So the entire season our offense has sucked. Amazing. Good thing the ball was lively during our WS year. Good to see another rookie suck at the plate in Richar. My gawd, this is the season from hell. Now we are god awful again. Well according to DJ last night, the problem with Richar is that after he came to the bigs he started all of a sudden pulling everything, but not to worry because he has been working with Greg Walker. I love it when a hitting coach has people like Uribe who cant hit a lick, yet he feels the need to "work" with our young line drive hitting guy. On another note, KW needs to really concentrate on what he can put on the bench next year. Ozzie's propensity to overplay his "toys" really creates chaos and ruins games. Example A is why in the world of f*** is Grinderstand and Pods starting all of the time. Its another case of lets sprinkle some poo on the field and hope it turns to fairy dust. If the Glass brothers are on this team next year, our manager will start them.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Aug 15, 2007 -> 08:41 AM) I've dealt with a lot of Malware/Viruses and have never had it restart the computer over and over. Although, I will say at this point Malware is pretty much capable of anything. Steffs guess of some leaky capacitors is definitely something to check out first. The capacitors are those cylinder looking things attached to the motherboard. If they are leaking or blown there will be a bulge or some rustish looking gobbly goo on the top of them. Also, if this is happening when you're working the pc hard, it could be overheating...which could be just a matter of blowing out dust, replacing the fan or the heatsink. It could also just be your power supply. It could also be your RAM. If you have two DIMMS, remove one and see if it still happens. If it does, swap the other one back in and test it again. I work as a security engineer and have done a lot of research and work with malware/virii/other associated types of random code. I have seen Viruses cause this type of issue where the system constantly reboots. Am I convinced its a virus, no. Then again it could be hardware, or some other OS corruption. But to me, from a troubleshooting model. Its easier to start with the lower hanging fruit. Do a few scans, see if that fixes anything before you start to rip the case apart and replace hardware.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 14, 2007 -> 09:31 PM) "Danny can spray the ball all over, but when he came up to the big club, all the sudden he was pulling everything. Walk thinks Danny will be just fine........"-DJ Just f***ing fire him. Uribe cant hit to save his life. He has the Andy Gonzales of the world to save. Yet he decides to f*** up the guy who actually looked like he had a clue. f***ing worthless motherf***er.

Hawk and DJ now talking about how Richar has tried to pull the ball more recently. Now I am just shocked, that a minor leaguer with a high average, who looked pretty good when he came up, all of a sudden just decided to start to pull the ball. That is so unheard of on this team. Dont worry, he is working with Walk I am sure that he will regain his line drive swing under his watch. Note to Ozzie, your little 2 outs send the runner thing is no longer just your little secret. People have somehow figured it out.

The Kazoo crew bought a whistle.
