that was a boring confirmation.

moran has it on point: http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/dem-re...2009-08-06.html "Moran contended that the protesters had little credibility in that “they are being financed by the industry that makes billions of dollars off the current system so that they can pay millions of dollars to lobbyists so those lobbyists can generate a handful of people who will do their bidding out of ignorance, anger or whatever.”

Nix has some pretty nice power.

damn it. Stupid good mood thread jinxed it. Well. I BELIEVE.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 06:14 PM) Did you throw any perfect games? Duh, Freddy Garcia had like 19 no hitters. If I wanted reality I'd watch real baseball. I wanna hit some dingers.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 06:09 PM) Well, Beckham is the most promising young player we've had on the team since Thomas. His rise through the minors was ridiculous so it built up hype, and aside from his start he's exceeded everyones expectations. Take how he's playing now, then factor in the logic that a player will continue to improve after his rookie season and it's pretty difficult not be excited. I dont know how much better the guy can get though, what he's doing now is kind of ridiculous ever for a veteran player. On MVP 05 I was hitting .420 with 123 HRs and 214 RBI with K Griffey JR. It's up to Beckham to top that.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 05:04 PM) I guess I didn't look close enough at Torres nice outing against the Rays and his very good numbers at AAA. Hudson has had a nice season but so has Torres. but Torres is not in the Wsox plans to be a fixture in the rotation the way Hudson, clearly, is. So I agree with FT. Hudson has been dominating EVERY LEVEL this year, we've brought up pitchers from AA before. If Torres is to be in the pen, let's bring up Hudson.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 05:00 PM) It's hard not to be positive when the team has taken 5/6 games from two of the 'best' teams in baseball and the future still looks brighter than the present. true but even that 1-6 stretch this board was nowhere near the suicide watch level it usually is.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 04:58 PM) Does that mean we can put him in a toaster and he can make it dance? he wasn't allowed to go up the statue in new york for fear it would come alive and start smashing vehicles and museum glass ceilings.

this thread title was really cheesy.

caulfield has so many friends on this board!

a single peoples section? That'd just be a bunch of horny dudes.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 05:29 PM) I wasn't on this board for the Vazquez trade, what was the reaction like? wasn't bad there was just a lot of questioning about getting rid of young and jizzcan. I mean even right now the posts questioning success are kind of half-assed and just put there because we are worried there are none.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 05:27 PM) Peavy, Beckham and beating the two hottest teams in baseball will do the trick along with Detroit losing to Cleveland and Baltimore. Yeah, but even during that 1-6 stretch, the board was still high on perf game and becksie's quest for .900

I clearly should've voted Beckham as my write in choice, or lizard people.

since like, post 2005 euphoria pre vazquez trade. Beckham is like the positive pink-goo from ghostbusters two. Clearly there was a river of negative slime beneath us. But anyways, I'm not getting any work done as I just keep hitting refresh waiting for the next beckham joke. If this is any indication, we are either setting ourselves up for heartbreak, or this positive thinking will translate into some niceness. (Clearly perfect game + ffffffin peavy helped as well).

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 06:15 AM) Good play. But in response to others, I am envious of their prowess to manipulate photos into the awesomeness I see in some sigs. I feel like I need to outsource my ideas and ask someone to make a real sig for me... I don't know, your sig makes me laugh in my head.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 04:39 PM) Complicated question. Depends on how long he stays up for. that's what she said

does bringing up Hudson now change anything in his arbitration schedule?

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Aug 5, 2009 -> 11:09 PM) Those are pretty stunning allegations, but at this point just that. Do I really believe this Prince guy is acting like ruthless dictator or mob boss? All the same I'm very disturbed by the idea of a large private military ran by a right wing religous nut. well all stories of blackwater has shown a degree of lawlessness. So this wouldn't shock me, and mob boss wouldn't be entirely inaccurate

Thank God.

mmmk.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 5, 2009 -> 07:01 PM) I just don't see Ozzie doing that though. Correct me if I'm wrong, I was out of state for the latter half of 05, but when Frank went down he did rotate our DH spot, no? Everett played the field sometimes I thought.

I thought the interview would be funny, but yeah, that did look uncomfortable. I'm sure that's not something you'd want getting to your mother.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 5, 2009 -> 05:57 PM) i hear ya. i think thats what KW and Ozzie want for next year. Have Konerko, Dye and Quentin DH while also playing at their respected positions through out the course of the year. I really like how this would balance our team out.
