Absolutely, I still had a sneaking fear that it was a torn labrum which would have likely ended his career (hello Michael Pineda) despite ptatc calming me down. This sounds like it may have healed up by now if we knew about it from the get go and didn't have him taking such an active rest

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 03:04 PM) I'm really not an asshole, so I hope it doesn't come off like I am, but I think the father of Aimee Copeland (the girl with the flesh eating bacterial infection) needs to just stop. Maybe I just have a cynical view of people, but this has seemingly evolved (devolved?) into less about her and more about him (or something of the sort) over the course of things. Whatever it is, he's turned it into a spectacle. I feel really awful for the girl, but way to portray her as the essence of purity and all that is fair when you're dropping lines like that... There's no way Lifetime hasn't approached him about turning this into a movie, but they themselves would probably try to tone it down a bit with the sugar and spice and everything nice fairy tales. It's really unfortunate that this happened to her, but painting it as the greatest injustice suffered by a family ever is the wrong way to go about it. At least she's fortunate enough to be getting treatment. I'm sure there is a good number of people even here in America- forget about the traditionally poverty-stricken nations- that don't make it that far. I tried to do some research, but I don't see the Dad being involved much beyond speaking for the daughter since she's incapacitated. She's taking pain meds now apparently. Whenever I hear the word "holistic" followed by anything medicine/health related, I quit listening. What a waste. I'm all for studying what your heart desires, but that's just stupid

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 11:43 PM) It's all about UNC's style of play. Kendall Marshall was an incredible pg last year, and Zeller was one of the best post player in the country. However, that team needed Henson's defense to anchor their fast break style. Barnes was just a gunner for them, and never once last year did I watch him and think "this guy is going to be a star in the NBA" I'm with you, felt the same way since I saw him playing in HS. Hardly even stood out back then

Bruney could have started against the Cubs today and Soxtalk would have been far happier

I don't think the organization was thinking about signing a FA backup 3B since we weren't supposed to contend and there were no particular reasons to think Morel would get hurt, excepting some kind of curse on White Sox third basemen. Moving Dayan to third was certainly worth talking about and not necessarily worth doing, though I'm curious what informed the coaching staff that he can't do it since so few of them ever saw him play there at any level (Manto perhaps the most)

The summary here is that it sounds bad, isn't as bad as it sounds, but none of us know how bad it is I think he'll be fine, maybe it'll be a blessing in disguise as our starters will likely make it more clear which belong and which don't

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 09:15 PM) Forgive me for being so mad I could punch the wall. I feel we CONCEDED tonight's game against a fellow Chicago team in OUR PARK by pitching Zach. God I'm mad. Just as many runs surrendered by the bullpen, reprimand Nate Jones

It's like Hawk whispers into the ears of every Sox pitcher, "this guy kills us man"

Jones knows when to have his bad outings

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 09:12 PM) Is Jones' pitching motion conducive to arm trouble? eh, not really

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 09:12 PM) Not tonight. It would really be powerful in this case

Holy s*** Hudson that might be the best stop I've ever seen, AJ trying to one up Jones on the wild throws

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 09:11 PM) Whatever happened to double play depth? Wondering about that as well, seems like we went with the pull shift instead

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 09:10 PM) Soriano even getting hits bad bad night. He's the best hitter on that team IMO

Holy hell fast track

If RZZZA brings us a victory, we will all believe in the RALLY RZZZA

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 09:05 PM) "But it was a damn good post" is so fitting here. Welcome! I've seen better

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 09:03 PM) You are down 6-3, need innings, your long reliever already started the game. I'm fine with Ohman facing a couple RHBs now Agree. Worth a shot QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 09:04 PM) You can't just give away games and expect to contend for a division title! Why lol. And to concede a game to the Cubs is a joke. Well everyone is going to do some of that. What I was lol'ing about was the notion of a reprimand for starting Zach Stewart. This was the quintessential "sacrifice in near term, profit in long term" decision.

He gawn!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 08:59 PM) He was obviously throwing at DeJesus to get payback for Paulie. NEVER FORGET! Naw, if he was doing that he'd be sneaky and hit him with an offspeed

Leans right into it

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 08:56 PM) I'd pitch anybody in the world besides Zach Stewart. If we lose this game, somebody should be reprimanded by Jerry; whomever decided on Zach. lol

Rios certainly had that look on that swing

Suck it Garza

Dunn getting f***ed
