QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 04:58 AM) Yep they're spluttering down the stretch, and in the 2 games that I saw against Seattle when I went, they didn't look good at all. They do have some damn good prospects though, so the future is rosy. And Figgins and Erstad are a damn good 1-2 punch at the top of that lineup. To me they have lost a lot of their intimidation I guess you can say. They were tough to deal with before cause they could basically play a 6 inning game and then you knew you were toast, this year... not so much.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 1, 2005 -> 10:05 PM) I'll pick someone else Uhh, whoops :banghead I'll take Owens.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 04:52 AM) Yeah, except the Angels pen hasn't been as good as in previous years. Donnelly's got a 3.99 ERA, while the likes of Yan, Peralta, Woods and Gregg all have ERA's above 4. Yes, Shields and K-Rod, are great, but besides those 2, they haven't been all that good, not Cleveland good anyways. With their offense, quite simple really, shut down Vlad and Garret in the middle of that lineup, they'll struggle to score runs. The Jeff Davanon's (who's always a crowd favorite), Juan Rivera's, Steve Finley's (based on his season so far) etc. don't really strike much fear into opposing pitchers. Even Krod and Shields have been having some problems as of late. It seems Donnelly's season went down hill after the finger licking incident at the cell.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 04:08 AM) That kid is probably a legend among his classmates. Probably?

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 04:37 AM) He could be had for something like a 3rd rounder. In the right offense, he's shown he can be a good starting QB in the league (under Spurrier's offense albeit). Either way, Rex Grossman's status as the long - term starter lookd iffy at best right now, which is a shame because he's got talent, he just can't get on the field to show it. I actually like Ramsey, given a fair chance with a decent offensive line I think he can be a solid qb.

QUOTE(HSC's Biggest Fan @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 03:51 PM) Quite Frankly whoever has taken over/in charge of programming at ESPN needs to be fired. The 50/50 show should be its own episode it is interesting but I want SportsCenter for a reason. Now they're having an espn hollywood show :puke . Greasy hit it right on the head on what espn is turning into, it's horrible imo. The only good thing is AC Slater is hosting the Espn hollywood show.

QUOTE(3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 09:25 PM) Haha, NBC interviewed people at Haray Carey's and someone said 'We have Krenzel so hopefully we'll be okay' Why doesn't that surprise me?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 12:26 PM) I have no idea what any of that means, so I'll just say CONGRATS SOXY!!! Ya, that. Congrats

QUOTE(Confederate_48 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 09:17 PM) Artificial turf should be banned Completely agreed, very dangerous.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 09:07 PM) It's pre-season Blummy (just doesn't have the same ring as Willie), just wait til the real stuff begins ok. Keep calling him willie, blummy sounds retarded.

4.01 era against the A's the last 3 years for the record.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 08:56 PM) Tell me how Buehrle has faired in big games. This doesn't only date to this year. Look at last year when he gave up like 8 runs in the first against the Yankees at home. Who was the only one who loss against the Twins especially after having an early lead?? Oh yeah, that was Buehrle this year. Buehrle has choked against the A's and Red Sox as well not once, but twice(well the A's 3 times). Buehrle gets a pass for the same s*** Garland got flak for. Why was this a big game? Because it was the Red Sox?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 08:40 PM) Joe Borchard. ^

QUOTE(Confederate_48 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 08:48 PM) Jon Kitna ?? That's actually a pretty damn good idea.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 08:47 PM) Yep I've now lost cuz... -we made a trade for Geoff f'in Blum -Syracuse lost by 3 -Rex got injured And the sox beat the tigers. That had to be your best bet yet. :headshake

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 08:46 PM) What a s***ty way to lose. You should stop making bets.

QUOTE(palesox38 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 02:41 PM) I was just wondering if there were any Office fans out there. No, not the NBC version,(which was actually pleasantly surprising)but the original BBC version with Ricky Gervais. I'm having difficulty getting any of my friends into it, some like it, most don't. I always tell them that they have a hard time "respecting" the humor, as it is very subtle. I think alot of that has to do with the fact that American humor can be very obvious and over-the-top in a childish sort of way. That's possibly why one of my favorite shows, Arrested Development, isn't succesfull. Anyway, I was just wondering if any of the fans were out there. A few of my friends are absolutely in love with the show, I haven't got around to seeing it yet.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 08:39 PM) I'll throw a name out for a veteran they could have some interest in; Vinny Testaverde Joe Borchard.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 08:36 PM) What is his ERA? Has he had that many unearned runs? He had that game against KC where some how none of those runs were unearned.
