Why Is Dan Johnson Still at Charlotte?
QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 05:28 PM) Except Danks hasn't really been good for a long time. And by "good", I mean better than a fourth starter. lolwut 3.77 ERA, 778 IP in the past 4 seasons 4th starter that is not

Dylan needs to not go 3-2 on every batter.

OBAMA/TRUMPCARE MEGATHREAD
My favorite is the volume of people commenting on the failures of Obamacare before a huge portion of the important parts of the legislation have even been enacted.

2012-2013 NFL Thread
QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 09:29 AM) I had no idea that Rhodes did that. That's awesome. And I'm sure they have a deal with that cab company that lowers the rate b/c it gives them more business. Win-win for all parties involved. I think it's just a perfect idea and could be implemented elsewhere as well. Perhaps some larger campuses with less restricted access may have a problem since the whole transaction is basically done by our Campus Safety officers who take down all the information, etc at the gate QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 03:32 PM) NFL Network top 100 players list, Tebow made the list, Cutler did not. Are you f***ing serious? Not even going to read it then. There is some chance that after this season people will be talking about Cutler as a top 5 QB. Seriously, I believe that could be in the cards with the offense we're putting together.

Septimo gets the call
Dan Johnson is more deserving.

Why Is Dan Johnson Still at Charlotte?
QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 03:35 PM) You really want Johnson to start tonight instead of Axelrod? what an odd comparison to make, Marty Dan Johnson is perhaps more deserving than Eduardo Escobar, but unfortunately doesn't play shortstop or run fast or hit above .200 in the MLB

Rios!
QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 01:10 PM) Overall, no question. Second or third best hitter. Best defender. Second best baserunner. Been clutch all year. while his season to season consistency is all over the place, he's been unbelievably consistent this year. His approach at the plate is just immaculate. Chris Sale and Jake Peavy have been arguably more valuable, but of the offensive players Rios has just done it all. He's earning the paycheck right now.

Aaron Rowand Working Radio During Yanks Series
QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 01:11 PM) One of the most overrated White Sox players ever. Still, there is no way he could suck any less than DJ on the radio. Interesting sig to post content correlation

Septimo gets the call
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 12:31 PM) Depends on how they, and Axelrod, pitch. Yeah I can easily see Axelrod going down and Bruney staying on.
-
Rios!
I think he might be our best player right now.
-
Septimo gets the call
Bruney is our long man at this point, and Hector is not far behind. Septimo will probably be asked to get multiple innings in an emergency as well.

Why Is Dan Johnson Still at Charlotte?
QUOTE (Lillian @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 06:48 AM) Just to clarify; I wasn't suggesting that Johnson be an every day player. That is why I stressed his numbers vs. RHP. He would be an offensive upgrade in LF, versus righties. I wouldn't mind seeing both Connor Jackson and Dan Johnson on the team. A platoon of those two guys in LF would likely provide pretty good offense. They each could provide respectivley, a right handed and left handed bat off the bench, on days that they don't start. It must be noted that both of them draw a lot of walks, which is something that translates pretty well to the Big Leagues. The Sox could sure use more OBP hitters. I would release Hudson, and let Escobar fill the infield reserve role. If they send Viciedo down, that would make room for both of them. He should be at AAA, playing everyday. Please understand that I really like Viciedo, and think that he will develop into a middle of the order slugger, but he is not ready yet. His 4 doubles and 9 walks tell you that he is still learning. This team can't afford to have him learning at the Major League level. The Sox should be trying to make a run for it this year, and they don't have the luxury of playing such a young and inexperienced player at an offensive position like LF. MLB pitchers aren't afraid of Dan Johnson because they've been getting him out >80% of the time for quite a while now They are afraid of Dayan because he is a manchild sent from the hot fiery doldrums of hell (oh, he also hits major league home runs)

Marlon Byrd suspended 50 games for using PEDs
I actually think Conte is legit. He'd have to be absolutely bonkers to give athletes steroids after all the scrutiny that was and is still on him. I've spoken to him on twitter and while he is wildly realistic in terms of his industry knowledge and beliefs about the prevalence of doping (the MLB testing policy is VERY easy to get around if you know what you're doing) I correspond with the real brains behind the BALCO drugs, Patrick Arnold, all the time. He is the chemist that created "the Cream" and "the Clear" and later went to prison for it (despite their apparent legal status at the time). He stays far from the juice now but is a legitimate and successful supplement salesman and routinely introduces safe, effective ingredients to the market. Fun fact is that he works out of Seymour, IL too and always did. The mistake Conte is making is associating with professionals who have the incentive to cheat. He remains a top consultant for many anti-doping agencies.

2012-2013 NBA thread
QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 09:52 PM) I miss BG I don't, really. He got so frustrating to watch giving up point after point on defense and then heaving up shots to try to make up for it. He sometimes did, but against good teams he would be fully exploited playing defense and couldn't get a good look on offense.
