Leonard Zelig

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 21, 2014 -> 02:49 PM) Yes. He is starting tomorrow vs the Yankees. Oh hell yeah! That means I should get to see him on Tuesday!! :headbang

I'm pulling for the 27th because I'll be in town for the game.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 20, 2014 -> 11:35 AM) 3rd and 5th innings respectively. I know it sucks watching games when you know the outcome but this was a crazy game to watch. I was pissed the game thread overlooked Alexei challenge play. There was full fledged effort by Alexei and Eaton to stall after the close play at first. Alexei saw that he was called out, was upset for a few seconds and then all of a sudden had a jolt of pain from a scrape. This scrape was so serious that Eaton had Alexei slow down and helped him into the dugout. I am sure we will never find out why Alexei had to be held back by all the latinos after his home run. There was a good shot of Nieto laughing about it though so someone might have just been messing with Alexei and he took it too seriously. Then you have Downs, like a boss, realize they were on camera and walk in front of view to cover Alexei's emotions. I just thought there was a lot of interesting, cunning acts throughout the game, very fun game but a long one. Thanks raBBit, I'll check those innings out.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 20, 2014 -> 12:45 AM) Crazy amount of strange things happened tonight. Bottom of the first was a half hour with a bunch of bad plays. Alexei drama in the dugout. I loved Downs walking in front of the camera like a true veteran. Guccione sleeping at 3rd. Alexei play at first and then the fake injury he had so the Sox could get a good look at it in the clubhouse and still fail. Then you have Eaton make Alexei take it slow down walking into dugout because he scraped his elbow. LOL Lindstrom tears something in his leg at the worst possible time. Can anyone tell me at what point in the game these happened? I'd like to see without watching the whole game.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 12, 2014 -> 12:24 PM) And how much would that marketing strategy matter if the Hawks hadn't made the playoffs once in six seasons? The Hawks also have half as many games and half as many seat to fill.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 12, 2014 -> 12:26 PM) How many fans are even aware of this? I feel like they show that section on TV after every Sale strikeout. That's how I was made aware of it.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 11, 2014 -> 01:12 PM) LOL De Aza. And it's silly that the rules call that a hit, not an error. That needs to change. What rules are you referring to? Isn't the decision up to the official scorer?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 11, 2014 -> 11:32 AM) I wonder if any team would ever consider anything really radical like once the 9th inning starts get in free or for a dollar and sit in the upper deck. After all anything after 9 innings is called free baseball. You could get into the old Busch Stadium for free after the 7th inning but I don't know if they do that at the new place.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 10, 2014 -> 02:44 PM) My 5th game tonight. What's your excuse, soxtalk? I live 300 miles away, but I am going at the end of the month.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 9, 2014 -> 01:41 PM) The question asked was how long does Rienzo last? 5.5 or less? How does a pitcher go 5 1/2 innings? That is six in baseball terms I take it as 5 1/3 or less is under and 5 2/3 or more is over.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 6, 2014 -> 11:28 AM) I wonder if some sort of thread for things such as this might exist. Start one and see where it goes.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ May 2, 2014 -> 10:35 PM) Who was it that used to do that awesome PDF of payroll commitments that was stickied every year. Was that you, Jake? It was Kalapse, but he's kind of like Bigfoot or Nessie these days.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2014 -> 05:42 PM) When have the Cardinals traded their franchise players, ever? Does Ernie Broglio count?

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 11:01 PM) The Brewers are 20-7. https://twitter.com/joe_block/status/461354091755872256 11-1 road record.

How did that conversation get recorded and who released it?

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 11:16 AM) http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/04...,40.581,-90.984 Map of who dominates each and every inch of the USA in terms of MLB fandom That cannot be right because I have a few hundred square feet in St. Louis that is unaccounted for.

Call it, dammit.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 06:34 PM) Hayes. Talking about injuries. He has been doing it quite a bit Thanks.

Who is that in the booth?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 02:28 PM) I didn't see a breakdown of the scrum, what exactly did Maldonado do that was the worst of all of them? He did this:

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 04:18 PM) I also bumped that thread to have people update. Use that google search term and you will only get hits from soxtalk. You may recognize the thread. Ok cool thanks, I will try that later.

Thanks for the help Tex, but that thread is 10 years old. I know there has been a more recent one.

I think it was last year there was a good thread with info on restaurants and bars around USCF. Any ideas on how I can find it?

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 18, 2014 -> 10:23 AM) Leagues that let SPs start in a RP slot because it's what the guy did last year drive me insane. I banished it from one of my leagues, forgot in other one I'm in. How do you prevent that if a player has eligibility? What about a guy like Mauer who has could be used as a catcher but hasn't played there this season?

If you clip them to your bike with a clothes pin you can make it sound like a motorcycle.
