QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 04:04 PM) Why is everyone here acting like John Kruk with that .300 batting average? Didn't Shawon Dunston hover around that range a few times? Frank will be remember for his plate patience and power. Huh? They are talking about his career average. Dunston's career OBP is under .300.

I read that Baines is injured. Anyone know what happened?

Get him in!

He hustles?

Well, Kotsay got through to Boston, so I think the idea that nobody would get through to us may not be so.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 08:21 PM) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:1991_AL_West_standings Everyone finished at least .500, but not over. Nice find. Even more impressive since it was before there were three divisions. Doesn't look like Baltimore will do it now.

Damn, I hope he gets better for this season AND the next three that he is signed for.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 05:10 PM) Crede's back? He's up.

Who will walk it off, Q, Crede, BA?

QUOTE (chunk23 @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 04:54 PM) Looking through the game log, wasn't Huff ejected? yes

Damn, I thought Richard was "starting" this game. Have we heard who will be?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 02:46 PM) You mean it was a best of five vs. Balt to decide the AL champ? Are you sure? That was the ALCS?? I don't know if they called it the ALCS at the time, but that's how it was in 1983, best of 5 playoffs, best of 7 WS.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 02:38 PM) Yes, Dybber's baserunning blunder was critical. If we win that game, we beat Baltimore in game five with Hoyt. We quite possibly make the World Series. I don't know who we'd have played in the next round. I forget. But we had the team. That baserunning blunder was pivotal. That reminds me of Hoyt. I hope he's on the fan favorite list. He definitely should be. I think I forgot him. Baltimore beat Philadelphia in the World Series. There was no second round of the playoffs at the tme.

QUOTE (SnB @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 01:07 PM) no, they definitely don't. Oh, you guys go to school together? That's cool.

Do you think maybe those people have jobs to go to after class?

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 12:04 PM) Looks like I'll be in town for Sept 9th-16th. Any good shows in town during that time? Not sure what you're into, but this would be a good place to look: Pollstar

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 11:38 PM) I was just thinkin the same thing.... I really hope we see that!! Do the Sox wear the road uniforms or the home uniforms for the first game? It would sure be silly to change pants after a quick game. Yeah, but there's not guarantee that this will be a quick game.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 02:08 PM) From a spectator's point of view, I find it entertaining to read the bickering. I kind of did too for a few days, but it's been weeks now.

I can't decide if it is funny or sad that some people just cannot grasp the concept that this is a list of favorite players and that nobody's opinion is any more or less valid than anybody else's. I think more sad.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 04:30 PM) Let's not get crazy here. Cubs aren't just an "the NL sucks" team. Look at the talent they have on that team. Also, there aren't 5 teams in the AL better than them. Cubs still have the best overall 3 starters in baseball compared to any other team, and as B&B were talking about yesterday, which one of the Sox pitchers would you take over any of those 3 in the playoffs? Likely none of them. I hate the cubs fans as much as the next guy, but let's not act like we have a world beater team and their team sucks. It just makes us look like a bunch of idiots. Dempster is over double his IP from last year and hasn't thrown over 125 innings since 2003, I wonder if he can keep it up.

I don't remember Freddie carrying the bat back, that's a cool picture.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 11:15 PM) This Angels offensive effort tonight is one of the worst I've seen this season. One hit in the last 8 innings, and that hit was a cheap infield single. Well, the Twins offense didn't exactly set the world on fire tonight, if that's any consolation.

QUOTE (gosox41 @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 09:29 PM) I'm surprised Eckersley isn't in the top 10. He had some dominant seasons as a closer. Uh, yeah. In 1990, 0.61 ERA 73K to 4BB 48 Saves, 5 ER for the whole year?!!!??!?!?!

Nice K
