I was wondering earlier about when Soxtalk started and thought this was a good thread idea. Who started Soxtalk? When? Some of you long time posters may enjoy reminiscing.

Non-PC: Gayer than AIDS

Another lopsided matchup for our hurlers. I would say our ace is on the mound, but I'll go with "one of our aces," it's starting to look like 1-4 are dominating at about the same level. I'm on a streak of 3, lets keep it alive!

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 10:28 PM) So I casually suggested to someone that I was going to visit Japan in the spring, and the more I think about it the more I might really do it. I have a friend who's been there, and I know a girl who lives there who will be a "tour guide" of sorts. Anyone else ever been? Tour guide, escort, whatever it is you call them these days.

I hope he somehow falls completely out of the public eye.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 07:14 PM) I don't know my friend....I really like our chances. I agree wholeheartedly.

Good to see us pounding the teams we're supposed to. Especially good to see us shut down a team that really is pretty darn good offensively.

For the record, Orton does NOT have a bad arm. Anyone who watches closely or has seen him play in college or even been to a practice while he's been on the Bears or Boilermakers would know this. Until his rookie season, he had always been known to the masses as a strong armed quarterback. Rex has a special kind of arm between his ability to throw it deep and hit the out on a line and with accuracy and in those raw respects he exceeds Orton. However, Orton has a rather strong arm. I think people must think he doesn't because of the tentativeness he threw with in his rookie season and his refusal to go to downfield options in that same season. In terms of raw ability, however, if you were gunning Rex's and Kyle's throws with a radar and had them throw as far as they could, they would not be far apart.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 02:52 PM) Longoria is a much better defensive player than Alexei dude. I think Alexei may become a better defender, and it is difficult to compare 3rd basemen to 2nd basemen.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 02:22 PM) Carlos Quentin is single handidly kicking the s*** out of pussification I love this statement.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 03:30 PM) Yeah I just always skipped the catch all thread, sometimes before I forgot, other times because it was a completely random thread. I would rather just skip over random threads in PHT that don't apply to me.

I never looked at the catch-all thread. Too long and I always read threads based on something catchy in the thread title, that obviously is missed with the Catch-all.

Time to keep the streak alive! I'm 5-1 all time in game threads I believe and would like to keep improving.

What is Oz's email again?

I like that Swish gets on base, but I hate the fact that he can't hit the damn ball. I would gladly have him trade some on base percentage for some batting average.

Was that Josh Fields in the dugout?

Good to see Clayton come back strong after the first batter.

They showed Clayton on the top step of the dugout.

I'm surprised it turned out this way too, I figured he wouldn't make the list.

Well Horacio has a good opportunity today to show that he is to be trusted as big time reliever for us.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 03:57 PM) Damn, I thought Richard was "starting" this game. Have we heard who will be? Clayton will start the regularly scheduled game.

Two young, streaky, lefty pitchers with limited ML experience to go after each other immediately following the tiebreaker game. Pressure may be on Clayton to save some pen arms depending on how deep we go in the tiebreaker, we'll be at least one reliever short, possibly more. If only I could see WCIU games!
