QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 05:48 AM) , it's generally not a good idea to have 4 left handed starting ptichers. Can I ask why on this? I feel like besides that awful Royals staff we have no precedent for this. If they're 4 good starters I don't see why this would be a problem. Also, imo Castro is either going to be in the rotation next season or used as bait to bring in a top of the rotation starter. QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 09:09 AM) Floyd not being in rotation is addition by subtraction! Ridiculous. I get that Gavin is frustrating but he's become so freakin underrated on this site.

Some of the Angels homers this series have been absolutely tattooed.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 07:05 PM) Bartman? Helped the team, not hurt it, so no.

f***

HAHAHAHA GOOD PLAY FAN Dana got it right there.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 01:57 PM) You can choose not to believe it...but it just happened! People knew consequences of these things and still acted to protect the football program. Of course it could happen again. Ya no kidding. How the hell is this even arguable?

Wise will be a nice pinch runner in September. And that's something we can actually use.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 10:20 AM) The announcers for the other match that was overturned were even saying as the results were announced that this is why the sport is considered a joke. Teddy Atlas has been going off about it all olympics so far.

Basketball team struggle monster.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 12:25 AM) What probably happens in those situations is the Sox gave the Astros a short list of guys to choose from. Yes, that's exactly what happens.

I seriously wonder if some of these big contract guys are too comfortable with Ozzie as the manager because they know they're never going to be benched.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 07:38 PM) Errol Spence is back in the tournament, the result of his fight was overturned. When your sport has had multiple results overturned in the same Olympics, there is something seriously wrong with your judging. I love boxing but I can't stand olympic boxing.

PICTURE THREADS!!!! I like.

I'm sure this has been brought up in 42 pages but Greg I assume you go to the church of Ozzie?

QUOTE (SnB @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 12:40 PM) "Mr. Madison, what you've just said ... is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." That was on this morning and definitely the first thing that popped into my head upon reading this thread.

One of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard.

Stay out of jail and the graveyard, j4l.

It's not 5th grade basketball, run the score up all you want.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 04:36 PM) BMAC was such a fan favorite, it was understandable. I was really happy for him this year. He was but it wasn't that. A bunch of my favorite players have moved on(Rowand and Buehrle) to name the biggest two and I was happy we traded them/let them go. I just thought Brandon was going to be an absolute stud for us while I wasn't too high on John. I was very wrong and very happy to be so.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 02:07 PM) When you get pissed, good things happen. Danks > McCarthy. Ventura > Ozzie. I think that was the most I've ever overreacted after a Sox trade or game. I was not happy about that one.

I honestly think the smartest thing to do is to just let Peavy walk.

As sox fans we were all angry at the organization at the time of this thread but the overreaction here was pretty comical. I also like bmags 1st post in this thread, I obviously know what he was referring to but it's funny how that has worked out.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 05:13 PM) Who? I don't remember that much outrage. Most people wanted somebody with experience, but I sure didn't want some of the coaches whose names were tossed out there like martinez and Alomar. If Sox weren't going to go with a guy like Francona, Robin was as good as anybody. It did seem like Robin was going to be a Jacque Vaughn type hire, though. A guy to manage the team through rebuilding. The Sox didn't go that way fortunately, instead keeping most of the main players. Of course nobody wanted Dunn, Rios or Peavy in trades. There was a ton of outrage.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 5, 2012 -> 06:13 PM) I will be interested to see your results in something like this. Co-ed? The league has been an absolute blast. Our team finished the regular season about as average as possible: Won dodgeball 3rd place in the volleyball tourny Lost flag football Lost basketball Won softball Won volleyball Lost flag football Playoffs start next week with basketball. Despite being ridiculously average through the regular season if we can get by bball next week(only one of our girls and myself have ever really played basketball competitively before) I think we can win the whole thing.

I actually really like Hector's upside, I think he can be a quality starter for us at some point
