Anyone think this might have been a longer term thing than the Cubs game?

Have a catch all for the respected sport on those boards. Boom problem solved, A and J's can be kept for things like hockey, golf, wrestling, mma etc etc. Yeah. Just make a stickied thread indicating where all NBA, NFL discussion should go.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ May 24, 2012 -> 03:21 PM) C'mon man they beat the #1 seed Bulls, you goota give em some respect If they beat the Celtics it lessens the blow of losing to them even further. That's basically how I feel. I hope they win it all, lol

The plays we'll have to be worried about are the shots. Can he field a shot right to him, with no ability to create a hop? Will he take a ball off the chest? As a good infielder, I'm guessing yes but there may be some hiccups there. The real foreign move will be the step-dive plays on smashes to his left and right. Both the dive and the throw will be brand new motions and are hard to replicate in practice situations. As long as he hits some (.250?), I say you make Morel produce in AAA before you f*** around with that again while we're trying to compete.

You can't rule the Indians out of the race and project the Sox into it. We're both unlikely candidates based on...whatever people project with. I do believe that the Sox have substantially more talent, though.

A real question is....how did he only finish 22nd in MVP voting in 2006? .313 BA, 35 HR, 113 RBI EDIT: Clearly didn't help that Dye had .315/44/120 and Thome had .288/42/109 How did THAT team not win? lol

PK needs not only an MVP, but likely another ring if not more. Plus I think 500 HR is necessary.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 23, 2012 -> 07:57 PM) There's no one at Talkbulls any more. I meant that as more of a "just in case" type thing. Probably doesn't really need to happen. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2012 -> 08:17 PM) I don't believe this can be done either cheaply or easily. That was my fear. I honestly know little about this level of web design. QUOTE (dasox24 @ May 23, 2012 -> 11:44 PM) Hell, I'm the mod of "Bulls Talk" and I haven't logged in for like 2 months. I used to check it daily (even if I didn't post), but gave up when Balta was just talking to himself (like he referenced earlier in this thread), haha. lol, I stopped by during the playoffs because the NBA thread frustrated me but no luck...of course.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ May 23, 2012 -> 09:56 PM) You know the Eastern Conference sucks when the 76ers are a game away from the EC Finals. I thought Boston might give Miami trouble but they can't even put away a garbage Philly team...then again, it comes down to match ups and Bosh won't be anywhere near 100%. I BELIEVE PHILLYYYY

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 23, 2012 -> 10:14 PM) He looked good. Made one NICE bare-handed play charging in on Doumit. Did draw the ire of AJ on a play where AJ had to go halfway between 3rd and home(in fair territory) to catch a pop-up. There was an awkward little exchange there. lol, AJ just kinda chucked the ball at him. Awkward moment!

I demand several weeks of production in AAA before I consider playing Brent Morel in the big leagues anymore.

Please oh please just say no to Brent Morel

Another meaningless Paul Konerko hit...

I like seeing that changeup that was raved about when he was drafted.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 23, 2012 -> 08:48 PM) I'd like to apologize to Sox fans everywhere for cooling off Dayan...I put him into my fantasy lineup finally on Sunday. One of these days I assume he will go to the plate looking for the inside fastball....and it will be beautiful

DV needs to be able to hit the fastball

Sweet rally

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) The bright side is that they are starting to get the ball in teh air, and not on the ground anymore. We may curse that trend one day

Great game so far from Sale. Mixing things up really well.

f*** this hitting shots at outfielders!

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 23, 2012 -> 08:25 PM) Yeah...welcome to the club. You're not a Sox until AJ barks at you for something. In all fairness, OH f***ed up that play. AJ shouldn't have been catching that pop up QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 23, 2012 -> 08:28 PM) Wasn't as outside as I originally thought... Gameday shows it as strike. Damn Gordon keeps smashing it at people...

AJ pissed at OH there

DV is going to have to hit some fastballs, pronto. At least flip it into RF like Paulie does when he's slumping or behind in the count

DON'T TALK s*** ABOUT RIOS

lol, Sale goes back and grabs that 95mph heat whenever things get rough
