Q ball in the seats.

If Josh wants to be a decent caring individual ( for a price) then by all means Josh offer Pods the number. If Pods wants to be a decent caring individual he will say" No thanks Josh I'm just happy I still have any number on my back."

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Apr 14, 2009 -> 09:29 AM) I'm not saying the board is racist, nowhere did I say in my post the word "racist". For better clarification, I think a better term would be "inherently biased". That's it, just biased behavior. Being biased and racist are two totally different things. I don't think it's a bad thing to be "inherently biased" and if that means race plays some part in it then we shouldn't apologize for it because it's not racism its more culturalism. Most whites , hang with whites, blacks with blacks, , different Native American tribes warred with each other. There's truth in the old saying "Birds of a feather flock together" . Mostly blacks went to Negro league games. Japanese fans come to the ballparks to watch Ichiro. Everyone roots more for their own kind. The real truth is , as sports fans we root against guys who suck and cheer for those who play well. I can honestly say Dye's way more popular than Brian Anderson is only because he's a better player. Wise has offensive and defensive flaws ,career minor leaguer, wasn't with the Sox for as many years as Brian . Anderson is younger ,maybe still has upside offensively, a talented defensive player, was on the World Series winning team and always seems to have a big grin on his face. We as fans just "know" him better and ALSO see him as a better player who can be a solution to a problem. We see Wise as only a stopgap. I applaud your courage to state your opinion because I'm sure you knew damn well people on the board would be very reactionary. I for one think there's a grain of truth to what you said , but more of it is based on knowing Anderson better, performance and perceived upside.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 13, 2009 -> 02:08 PM) And yet it only took what? 50 years for it to happen the first time? I'd like to see if the stats geeks can come up with any 2 players who have hit back to back home run with the same number of career HR's over 100 be it 101 , 237 or w/e.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 14, 2009 -> 11:58 AM) I can't jump on the Podsednik bandwagon. The CF/Lead off spot continues to become more embarrassing. Amen, brother, Amen. BA pleaseeeeeeeeeeee do good ! Keep ur butt in the lineup this is possibly your last real shot at it with the Sox .

Behold the same topic with a thread third from the bottom on this very page.

Welcome back to batting leadoff 75% of the time and playing CF on a supposedly top tier AL team from no ML team wanting you. Somewhere I hear Ethel Merman singing "Everything's Coming Up Roses. "

A very rare feat indeed. Glad to have witnessed it on TV.

All right Soxtalkers bring me a victory. Back to work, won't know the final score till around 4:01 PST . Take care !

Q comes through !

Will OZzie dare do the double steal ? Nah Miner with control problems.

Nice hit Brent, though I'm still perplexed why he doesn't choke up with all his K's. His bat looks as long as he is.

Josh Anderson is the guy I was clamoring for KW to get.

Back to back 300's !!

DYE ! 300 !!!!!!

Good Job Gavin and thanx ump for the K on Maggs.

Park for free and walk to the game. My old man doesn't like going to games anymore, too old and crotchety and hates the over loud music that's constantly going, but he'd always park at a fire station parking lot cuz his old man was a fire chief (maybe at that very station) though he's long dead. I saw some other people park there and leave a can of coffee for the firemen and thought that's a nice gesture for the free parking and mentioned it to my old man but he, of course, would just say "what for ?" Then it's not free anymore is it is his reasoning. But this is a man who stabbed me in the arm with a fork for taking more meat before I had taken more potatoes at dinner. Pure south side.

I never thought I'd be able to say it though I've wanted to 100 times but would of ,could of, should of drives me crazy when it should be would've, could've, should've .

Starters 2.29 ERA so far .Wise 4 for his last 5.

After that shellacking we took Friday we outscored the Twins 14-1 in the next 2 games.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Apr 12, 2009 -> 01:57 PM) I am really impressed with Fields this year. How nice would Beckham look in the leadoff spot and playing 2nd. Fields is looking pretty good. Getz is a good player . Let Beckham get his seasoning and Getz settle in at 2nd for a while. I hope Getz wasn't hurt by that HBP.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 12, 2009 -> 01:48 PM) Mark! 6.1 innings 2 hits , 1 R, 0 BB , 5 K

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 12, 2009 -> 01:45 PM) Bah, my thread missed I kept waiting and waiting for someone to do it. Buehrle ! Thome ! Wise !? Jenks ! Dye !

Sox take 2 of 3 from the Twins. Get back to .500

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 12, 2009 -> 01:36 PM) Maybe something to do with the Hawks??? The Original mo- HAWK ?
