QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 10:02 PM) Im starting to get the feeling that Simon Castro is his guy. He got promoted today and seems to be on the fast track to the Major Leagues. I believe you have mentioned this earlier as well. I like that at least several publications thought very highly of Simon at one point and it seems that he only lost favor due to a loss of control, which appears to be back. It would be really nice to see him have a more dominant run than he's really had so far this year, just to see that ceiling of his show through.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 10:18 PM) It could be that as well. Your taking your training in stride. Glad to see your finally learning. you're*

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 10:04 PM) And again, why don't you use context? The quote you're using was clearly one made in jest in response to you ripping on Hudson. He's a sports writer

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 09:59 AM) With the signing of Campbell he had no chance of making the team. Yeah I consider our team about as deep as they come at QB. Maybe we can keep Nathan on in the practice squad if he clears?

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 03:44 PM) I think we could do something like RealGM right here. http://forums.realgm.com/boards/index.php?...b8ec7c889b6a05d The first layer of the forum should be the sport of the forum, like SoxTalk, General Baseball Talk, Basketball Talk, Football Talk, etc, then move the Soxtalk sub forums into the Baseball Talk section, and then create sub forums for each sport forum. The front layer of the website would just be link to each sports forum. Since I think we still want Soxtalk as the flagship forum of the website, we could still leave the domain name of the home page as soxtalk.com, then and put Soxtalk forum in the first section on its own, and the subsequent sports forum in one section beneath it. Is this possible? I think this was deemed not possible, it was something I wanted to see as well but the guys that run Soxtalk (and created TalkBulls and TalkBears, among some other forums that no longer exist) don't have as much time to dedicate to the stuff since they're living in the real world now TalkBears also has a pretty active and independent user base and I don't think it is possible to migrate those members over to a unified board.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:49 PM) It was interpreted as you stating PK doesn't know the rules because you posted PK doesn't know the rules. Wondering why he didn't step on the bag is not the same as saying that if you asked PK what the rule is that he wouldn't know. It's like saying that I think Paulie doesn't know how to work an at bat because I criticized his poor at bats lately.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:49 PM) It's be $7-$8 million to take him on right now. It is definitely worth considering. I really don't think Kenny is eager to trade away the few trade pieces we have to get a starting pitcher, either.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:47 PM) They showed the stat line of him hitting .316 with 2 HR over the previous 10 games. You can see how he's been smacking the occasional soft hit on early count mistakes, kind of like he's trying very hard to not get to two strike counts. The HR against the Cubs was just a medium depth fly ball any other day, but he certainly earned the other HR. I was hoping the other one meant he was back. It becomes abundantly clear that he's not whenever he gets up in a pressure situation.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:47 PM) I never actually said he doesn't know the rules of baseball. I questioned why he didn't just step on the bag. He clearly had a brain fart. All I was pointing out was that his mental gaffe was more disturbing to me than Orlando's. DA and yourself are the posters who interpreted that as me stating PK doesn't know the rules. And in that instance, please tell me why he didn't just step on the bag? quit assuming bro PK knows the rules, he just doesn't like taking the easy way out

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:42 PM) Agreed. The current players on the team have to play better before the Sox bring in outside "help". If the "only" cost is the contract and a non-factor player, would it not be worth a crack over Hudson (assuming we only make the deal if we have the money to burn)

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 08:03 PM) Who is Euclides Leyer? I think he discovered mathematics or something

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:40 PM) We've got plenty of other pressing needs. I'll be happy when he goes elsewhere. I'm open to giving it a shot if the cost is miniscule. Shouldn't affect our ability to make any other moves...but seriously, I don't want this team paying out the ass for a starting pitcher right now.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 04:51 PM) Youk's trade value just diminishes by the hour Good news for us.

Greinke pitched great today and honestly better than Sale, but Paul Konerko hasn't contributed s*** lately. Every time he comes up in a key at bat he takes a bad swing at a bad pitch in a hitter's count and gets doubled up. He needs to figure it out, get healthy, or sit out if he's hurting.

That's a terrible at bat PK. Pathetic. Don't take a half swing at a low first pitch breaking ball. What the hell is wrong with you?

I'd love to have you back Paulie

Umpire worked hard to keep Dunn from winning that at bat

Terrible f***ing call

They can't be happy that they walked the leadoff man to bring Dunn up in the bottom of the 10th

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:22 PM) The Sox never seem to win these kinds of games. It's been a while. We have some work to do now.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:21 PM) Weeks has sucked ALL year nice job Crain. You should be more upset about the 2-strike double than the ground ball that would have been fielded with the defense at regular depth.

Weeks was out on the pickoff EDIT: nah, tag wasn't there

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:19 PM) With his injury history and defense I wouldn't want to part with anything at the big league level for him. Hudson?

Wow, great baserunning

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:15 PM) Just wouldn't give up anything of value for him with that kind of money and a DH already purchased for that time period. Yeah, Nate Jones would be about the maximum I'd give up for him. Not sure whether he can man 3rd for 2 more years, but I'll be honest and say I haven't paid much attention to him for a while.
