QUOTE (ptatc @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 07:51 AM) Yes but none of them had as much of an ego or is as much of an a@@ as Jackson. Jackson's success was more player talent driven than anyone. The guy divorced his wife and started dating the owner's daughter in LA just to get the GM fired to take his GM position. Whether the guy is an asshole or not, he's the only one that could have made the egos he had work together. Not to mention he was always smart enough to stay out of Jordan and Kobe's way when it came to on the court play. He obviously had insane talent but he's still the best basketball coach of all time.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 03:09 AM) Kloess is 26, but had a great year. Maybe he's a late bloomer? Anyone have a scouting report on him?

Even though I told myself I wouldn't give the Sox any more of my money until our idiot manager is gone, I made the big splash of purchasing a 3 dollar ticket so I could see Mark's possible last start as a member of the Sox.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 25, 2011 -> 09:45 PM) Ellsbury just won the MVP. Could see that homer coming a mile away, Proctor was complete f***in garbage that whole inning. QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 25, 2011 -> 11:13 PM) Definitely. I didn't think the Rays would have even gotten to within 0.5, but they managed it. The Red Sox win tonight should fuel them to finish strong, though. Eh, sorry to use a cliche but momentum is as good as the next days starting pitcher, granted, I believe the Sawx are going to grab the WC as well but one bad inning from Beckett and all the good feeling from last nights victory is gone.

LETS GO YANKEES!!! Walk these assholes off please!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (zenryan @ Sep 23, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) I do feel horrible for the people who are the hourly workers working the events(parking attendants,concessions,ushers,etc), people who own bars that shows the games,etc. People tend to forget about those people. My buddy is a video editor for the NBA and is just dying because of this right now.

What a bunch of crap. Awful Kenny.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 23, 2011 -> 08:18 AM) League starts canceling training camp and exhibition games. So f***in depressing. f***.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 23, 2011 -> 11:20 AM) Holy s***. I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more pub. I didn't realize how close he was to leading all three categories. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 23, 2011 -> 12:06 PM) No s***. I had no idea either. Thirded. Damn.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 22, 2011 -> 09:53 PM) Beltran wasn't even an option for me, he is a Griifey type move.. No thanks. The Sox needed an upgrade at 2b, CF, DH, and 3b.. Since you have 26 million tied up in CF and DH.. they needed to address 2b and 3b.. Betemit is a wash to Morel, one was hitting, the other is fielding, I will take the fielding guy right now... A-Ram would have been nice, and he gets to stay in Chicago.. I don't know if Henrdy would have asked to much.. Problem is.. Zero Cash, so that is a wash. Mike Aviles would have been nice, can play 2b, hitting is a nice upgrade over Bacon, can also play 3b as well. And I would think the Royals were not asking a ton for him.. Since the trade is hitting in the .348.. Ideally, he hits in the #2 hole.. move Alexi down to 3 And here is your new lineup 1. Jp 2. Aviles 3. Alexi 4. Paulie 5. Carlos 6. AJ 7. Rios 8. Dunn 9. Morel. Dunn is still there, but in a spot that doesn't hurt to much.. and at the time you think he might break out of it. Ok, really? That's your impact trade? Ha Ha Ha

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 22, 2011 -> 10:47 PM) Really? I thought it was....meh. The scene with the homeless guys was absolutely hysterical, besides that I thought it was pretty average, pretty much like last week.

Congrats man!

Hopefully Haren isn't too badly hurt because the Angels are definitely our best chance to keep the Red Sox out of the postseason at this point.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 07:27 PM) Even worse news for me and Saluki fans is that he has verballed to Illinois State. Ugh. Kid is good. Does it matter at this point?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 09:24 PM) I don't believe that even for a second. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 09:25 PM) Me neither. Well I meant as far as him b****ing at me about this topic. I replied to him with that link and a little message and he hasn't said anything back. Obviously you can't totally shut that kid up, that's impossible to do.

If Tampa ends up losing tonight they're going to be tied in the loss column with the Angels.

For anyone that still cares, that link that Mike posted totally shut Oney up.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 07:17 PM) Brent Morel ate some f***ing wheaties. Laced with some f***in steroids!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 04:35 PM) Put it this way...even if there was some reason to doubt on both of those...both of those teams had the goal of being back where they were last year, or better. Texas has basically achieved that goal. Cinci has failed. That I absolutely agree with.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 04:30 PM) No, they had huge expectations. Only reason for pessimism is if starting pitching was fatigued from previous season. Just a wasted year for them with Votto one year closer to being a FA. I think there was a decent split on Cinci. I know I was expecting down years from them and Texas(whoops).

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 12:16 PM) I think the playoff structure is perfect as it is. Adding more teams to the postseason would be pathetic. This QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 12:20 PM) Agreed. And success is relative to the team. It's not a tough concept to understand. This

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 07:59 AM) That's pretty amazing. Kershaw is now 20-5 on the year, with a 2.27 ERA, 0.99 Whip, and 242/52 strikeouts/walks. Does he win the Cy over Halladay or Lee?? He absolutely should.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 08:49 AM) We don't need to get in to a discussion of retaliation and beanball wars. Wild pitches by youthful rookies is the issue. I don't think you are going to hear a lot of chipping of teeth by the Sox or any team on a matter like this. If the coaching staff collectively feel it needs to be done they will plunk the opposing team as needed and won't be signaling their intentions to the media. Hey this link is doing all sorts of work today: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=jp-ozziesecret080308

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 07:37 AM) Here you go... http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=jp-ozziesecret080308 Eh, I should have just let it die but hey, I'm immature as well, so I decided to be a smartass and tweet that to him.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 10:26 PM) Real excited about this kid. Hoping for .265/.335/.415/.750. Think that's actually a very reasonable line to expect.
