QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 29, 2011 -> 08:46 PM) If I can vent for a second...I'm so frustrated with how CM Punk's been booked since MITB. I know I said this a few weeks ago, and it's worse now. All he does is rip on Stephanie now. I mean, that's who he's feuding with. He's been ripping on Stephanie, Nash and HHH and it's still been pure gold every time he's been on the mic. QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 06:16 AM) Why hotshot HHH Punk? Ugh This 100 percent confused me. Not sure what the deal is here.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 01:17 PM) .684 OPS after the all-star break after an .878 OPS before the break. That could be construed as a warning. Though nobody could've truly predicted this kinda sucktitude. A lot of people predicted that Rios was going to be bad this year but this kind of awful? Ya not so much. But as you mentioned there were plenty of warning signs with him.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 11:20 AM) We already know your opinion, no need to reiterate I'm pretty sure we know everyones opinion on this. I mean, one of these threads pops up every time we go on a mini winning streak only to fall back right in line with our .500 ways. I get that people are excited about the kids(who the hell wouldn't be) but it's still not a good enough team to make up 5 games in the last month of the season. Now, if some of these changes were made 2-3 months ago like everyone in the f***in world(minus are fantastic organization) knew needed to happen then ya, we'd have a good chance to win this thing. Now don't get me wrong, I'm going to watch every game down the stretch and hope for the best and I'm expecting us to get within 2 or 3 games of the division lead but we wont win the division, not going to happen.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 05:37 PM) I don't know why we need compensation. He only has one year left on his deal and the Sox don't want him anyway. So why not just let him go to Florida so the Sox can hopefully name Sandberg ASAP. It better not be Cora or Buddy Bell or LaRussa. LaRussa is a crabby old man. Let Tony retire and write books about how baseball should be played LaRussa style. Give me Lasorda.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 11:42 PM) The politics comparison was just to illustrate a point. Ozzie doesn't even have to do anything wrong anymore, whatever action he takes will be automatically regarded as the wrong move. If what he does works it's credited to luck, if it doesn't its his fault and he's left soley to blame. You cant really believe the refusal to call up Dayan Viciedo sabotaged our season, especially when our major offseason acquisition and high-potential 2B both wound up being busts. Please.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 05:46 PM) Cowley is right about Williams. 100% right. You might not like the messenger, but that doesn't matter. Agreed, Kenny is absolutely at fault for not benching Dunn. Please, I'm not fan of either Kenny or Ozzie but to blame Kenny for Ozzie's mistakes is f***in insane and that "messenger" is just an ignorant f***in person.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 05:27 PM) He's blasting Kenny on Twitter? Is he that loyal to Ozzie that he would blame Kenny for not benching a player? @scottmerkin So ur GM lied when he said best players play, no matter the contract? Can't have it both ways Merk. This guy is insane.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 05:21 PM) Everyone watching the Joe Cowley tirade on twitter? Its rather amusing Gotta love this one: @scottmerkin My point was Q should have been moved near the deadline, and Dunn a bench player. But ur GM didn't have balls for that. Clearly Kenny's fault for not benching Dunn.

Well we're going to have sole possession of 2nd place...woohoo!!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 05:12 PM) Deep fly or shallow? Right up against the wall.

When Dayan hit that homer my buddy texted me "that was the best and most depressing homer of the season." That about sums it up, oh what could have been... Seriously though, this is the most fun I've had watching a Sox game in a loooooong time. Gotta love seeing Dayan produce right away and T-Flow continue to impress.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 27, 2011 -> 09:11 AM) My prediction is he doesn't start until tomorrow I'm just going to refuse to watch any Sox games from now on if Dayan isn't in the lineup.

I really have no confidence in any of them bouncing back. Now, I'm sure one of them will but I have no clue who it will be.

Is there a way I can dvr just Dayan's ab's?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 27, 2011 -> 08:17 AM) Dude, seriously? I'm totally going to blame Greg Walker! I'm already pissed at Walker for messing with Dayan!

Seriously, how the hell can anyone like Ozzie at this point? I'm so f***in tired of this guy.

At least it gives me a reason to watch the Sox...

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 12:45 PM) And by watching, you make that human garbage rich. So you've never watched a show/movie with a bad person in it? And to be honest, yes, they're a bunch of morons for the most part but they're not exactly the worst people in the world when you compare them to other celebrities. I understand that there might be some people that don't find it entertaining but I hate when they have to look down on the others who actually enjoy it.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 10:26 AM) Pitching is the name of the game. I hope we keep Danks and Buerhle both Buerhle Floyd Danks Peavy (Humber?) Stewart hasn't show me a lot yet but Humber is not doing what he did before. I just don't think we can afford to be taking risks with our staff. The four top pitchers are proven You hate change, don't you?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 09:18 AM) So many? A broken ankle and the one, big, huge lat one. Ankles heal fine, the only real issue here is the big one. History says a lot of pitchers come back from major reconstructions. However, it is true that Peavy's injury was unique, so that is the big X factor. And whatever the hell was wrong with him when we traded for him. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 09:19 AM) LIke it or not Stewart is going to be in the rotation moving forward. The org looks at him as a Jon Garland-type guy. He's got better stuff than Garland but I think everyone would be happy if he turns out to be like Jon.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 09:13 AM) I'll be waiting for that the same way I'm waiting for the Sox to make that comeback everyone's been talking about all season. Pretty much. The guy has had so many injuries the last 3 years, I have no clue how anyone can expect him to ever be back to the guy that we thought we traded for.

If I had my way, our rotation would be: Buehrle Floyd Peavy Sale Stewart Trade Humber and Danks. Obviously I'd love to ship out Jake somehow but that's not happening so he's still there.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 08:10 AM) My question for you Jersey Shore fans is what keeps you interested? I could see being entertained by one season of these d-bags, but isn't every season the exact same idiots doing the same dumb s***? It's sex, drinking and fighting, what's not to like? Mostly everyone on the show is a complete moron(Pauly and Vinny are actually quite funny, not just entertaining because they're retarded) but everything about the show is entertaining. I challenge you guys who are completely against it to watch an episode and not be hooked.

Jersey Shore is awesome.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 08:24 PM) And he'll make me happy once we can fully pencil him into the rotation for 200 innings or so a year. That's obviously not going to happen next year. But it's rotation or bust as far as I'm concerned. Chris Sale will not let you down.
