QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 07:07 PM) Lew Ford has a career 106 OPS+ that's better than Brady Clark (100) Torii Hunter (100) and Aaron Rowand (103). Why the hate for Lew? The guy put up a .827 OPS playing semi-fulltime in '04. Just because the guy is a Twin and his smirk makes you want to smack the s*** out of him doesn't mean he sucks. Would you be able to watch a game if Lew Ford was on this team? Would you just close your eyes everytime he came up to bat?

I would enjoy a winner.

Detroit is better then Cleveland this year, no question.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 01:52 PM) I am going to have to disagree. You might be the genetic-genius but I'm sticking to my guns on this one. When bench pressing, it is mainly working one area of your sholders instead of the entire shoulder. This can be harmful to some because it can leave different area's of the shoulder underdeveloped. As a pitcher, this is a problem. Thats why our coach doesn't want pitchers benchpressing. It limits the movement in the shoulder. I've done quite a bit of research on this one. I agree with RockRaines. Bench pressing is an ego excercise. "How much can you bench?" The problem is, you're looking at this as only a pitcher. Benching is a good exercise because you target a ton of muscles. Now, I do agree that benching is an ego exercise and some people think that it is the only important lift which is entirely untrue but it still is a very important lift.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 12:37 AM) will they tow you from the church lot if a weeknight service is goin on? They just close the parking lot off on Sundays, if they have something going on there during the week they would just close it off. So no, you don't have to worry about your car getting towed.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 12:34 AM) Jose too. Why not Freddie? Because he's been very average this year.

Ozzie doesn't want that Venezuelan piece of ****, Maggs needs to worry about his own ****** team.

QUOTE(chaerulez @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 12:15 AM) Jenks throws a regular knuckler? When has he done that? It would be funny to see him follow up a 100 mph fastball with a 50 mph dancing knuckler. He's never actually thrown it in a game but he's fooled around with one before, that is what Kalapse is referring to.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 09:49 PM) BA having problems low and away. Sounds a lot like the early 2004 version of Aaron Rowand. It's a problem a lot of young hitters have.

Alex Cintron is cool.

This team has had no f***in energy the last two weeks, that could energize a team like no other. That was so f***in huge. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 06:04 PM) With Sox having SP locked up thru 2007 and some good minor league SP, Sox reallly had a chance to think outside the box and draft a good position player early and to draft 3 pitchers first 3 rounds is major over kill to me, time will tell. Well first you can never have enough pitching as everyone knows, next, pitching is always going to be valued the most and with the way Kenny uses our minor leaguers, it makes perfect sense.

I absolutely love Jr, but I want a reliever or two before I want a cf. Griffey would make our lineup ridiculous but it'd also weaken the D and there is obviously the injury risk.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 05:41 PM) Baby crying at night = Uribe gets less sleep = Uribe is tired the next day = Uribe has less ability to spin around and dig a hole to Australia = Uribe becomes a .450 hitter? Good theory, I'll allow it.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 05:35 PM) High K rate. Needs to improve strike zone control. Decreased power because of injury. Scott Boras. He's only a junior, so once he slipped past the first couple rounds, he'll go back to school. Considering he was considered one of the top college position players entering the year, he needs to go back to school unless the redsox throw a ton of money at him, which isn't out of the question. Gotcha. Thanks.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 05:15 PM) It looks like Uribe's wife is the only person to get him not to pull off the ball too early. By the looks of Juan, I actually think he's the one giving birth, not his wife.

The Red Sox just drafted Laporta. Is there a reason he fell this far?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 05:04 PM) I workout every night starting around 9pm or 10 if a sox game is on. My goal is to drop my glucose before I go to bed. My stomach is empty by that point. After my workout I drink a bottle of water. It amazing to see how working out at night affects my blood sugar not only before I hit bed, but when I wake up. When I dont work out, my sugars are up at least 20-40 in the morning. When I run at night, my numbers are almost "normal". I always work out at night, I've tried before to get up early before my day starts and do it but that didn't work out so well. That lasted about two days.

QUOTE(T R U @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 05:00 PM) Yikes I do work out everyday though, my diet just sucks.

So drinking 5 cans of pop a day and basically no water is healthy, correct?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 12:35 PM) Who did STL pick? Adam Ottavino.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 12:34 PM) not good enough, how about we draft guys that are mid 90's. lets see if the rest of the draft goes as bad as last year. Why are you even following the draft considering you hate minor leaguers so much?

f***in A. f*** YOU BOSTON
