GOD DAMN IT

SEXY!

Damnnnn, can't throw pitches like that to him. He's such an easy out, but we can't do it.

Garland always showed flashes of the ability to dominate at the big league level. These flashes caused us to be dissatisfied with his ability to be consistently average, which is in its own way great. Had a different pitcher, one without such high expectations from us, been so wonderfully average at all times for 8 years, that person would have been much more adored.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 12:30 AM) I have no idea. This sure is exciting but I truly think anything can happen. It'd be a shame to not make it after doing well this far in the season. I don't like that 10 game road trip to NY, Minnie and KC. It scares me. If I had to bet the life savings I might flip a coin or go with my gut feelng, the scrappy Twins. When it's all said and done, all three of the teams probably won't be playoff teams.

I'm surprised at the results so far. Only 1/18 have the Sox losing? I like it. I don't think it ends in a barnburner, it rarely does.

Does all this shuffling use up Clayton and Lance's options?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 11:31 PM) If the Sox call up Poreda on September 1st, and he stays on until the 30th, does his clock start? That's a good question.

My question is are they just big names that didn't produce as in acquiring players that used to be good but hadn't produced in a while ala Griffey, or people we expected to produce but did not.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 04:51 PM) I second that, I mentioned it the other day. Three, that really gets my blood boiling.

I thought Swisher was going to be our main run producer or close to it...I also felt that BA earned his spot in ST (which he did, but over CQ not Swish)

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 03:18 PM) Also my wife makes fun of me for how I say "roots" and "roof." I don't pronounce the "oo" sound (as in how you'd hear it in "tools" or "boobs"), I say it almost like a "uh" sound. But for some reason it depends on the context of "roots," if I'm talking about a plant I say it that way, but I say it the other way if I'm talking about family, or the "root of the problem." I'm the same way as you.

I was hit by 90 mph fastballs in the backs of both elbows in the same game, and I'll be honest, my hands were in and out of numbness for a week and I was sore for about 3 or 4 weeks.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 09:47 PM) their fans are convinced we are going to win the division it's funny the similarities between us just shows you that both of these teams are massively flawed and not great, the division is a crapshoot at this point I think it actually shows that most fans are hopelessly pessimistic.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 07:55 PM) Only if he can go 8. 7 will do.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 12:06 AM) Ever notice some people pronounce the name Williams as Wee-Yums? That is similar to how a Spanish speaker would pronounce the name.

I say Aaron Poreda #1.

I don't even a give a s*** about Minny. I know if we win we're fine.

That thing is filthy.

Okajima 1/8 in save opportunities?
