QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 11:02 AM) I didn't watch the telecast but I don't dispute that the TB announcers were b****ing so I don't really see what that has to do with what I said. But this is something Hawk drives me insane with, when the Sox get a questionable/bad call he ranges from mild complaining to bringing it up every inning for the rest of the game to screaming into the mic and popping a blood vessel in his head. There's times when I have to mute him until his rant is out of his system. So if we were to say to some Rays fans "man, your announcers are really b****y" we wouldn't have much of a leg to stand on there, Hawk does it so much more. just making a point that Hawk is not the only one.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 10:21 AM) Not exactly something we as Sox fans can really complain about, considering Hawk will still be b****ing about a bad call from the 2nd well into the 8th inning. It makes me cringe when he does that because I know other fans are listening to him and thinks "wow, the Sox announcers are such whiners." Did you catch the TB telecast? I did, and the TB announcers complained about the non 3rd strike call to Alexei (which resulted in a triple a couple pitches later) from Laz Diaz from the 7th, until the game was over. I mean they had camera shots on him and were grilling him non stop the last couple innings. Just thought I would let all Sox fans (and hawk bashers) know. The call was borderline at best, btw.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 10:07 AM) Paying fans can boo whoever they want and for whatever reason. That's true. Even Obama was no exception.

A good % of the posters in this forum would have taken HGH faced with similar circumstances. I'm not mad at Jim.

I agree. Bring back Thome. 600 in a sox Uni would be awesome.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 09:54 AM) Man. It would take a whole heckofa lot for me to boo a player on the Sox. See: Dewayne Wise. But Bobby??! He's been an absolute stud, and is running a little cold right now. I'd have been a hellofa lot disappointed, but i wouldnt boo him. Seriously. It has to be the casual fans who fill up the park in July. I don't think I would ever boo Bobby, no matter what. Wise is a good example, that would be the closest I would go to booing a player wearing Sox pinstripes. I think the only player I ever booed at a game was Mike Jackson.

Not true fans IMO. One heckler stood out, calling Bobby a bum. I guess we are just like any other fan base, even the "Classy" Yankee fans boo arod out the ballpark during any 0-10 stretch.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 08:25 PM) http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/another-site...-dunk-vid-25219 It's borderline getting "dunked on". IMO Crawford going for the dunk, Lebron came over late and didn't go for the block that strongly. James haters will love it none the less. that's it? Lame

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 08:42 AM) Did you just call yourself a cheater? yes

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 11:03 PM) I love Buehrle. Too bad he may be done after his contract runs out so that he can go hunt, be a Dad, and tarp slide in his backyard. The combination of his ability and his attitude has really made me consider placing him above Thomas as my all time favorite baseball player. Outside of his claims a few years back of a light flashing system in Texas, he has been the most lovable player this team has ever had. That makes him more lovable. I feel the same way, f*** the Cheating Rangers.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 12:11 PM) Best player? Based on less than one season of baseball? Our best player is Dye, no doubt. Arguments can even be made for Thome and Konerko. and you would be wrong. A healthy tcq is a top 10-20 player in all of baseball.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 02:37 PM) Orlando is absolutely stacked. They upgraded Turkoglu into VC who was one of three players to average 20/5/5 last year with Kobe and LeBron I believe. They turned Battie into Bass and Andersen. They're turning Anthony Johnson into CJ Watson who actually can run and provide some serviceable minutes at backup PG. Also, Barnes can play PF as he did with the Suns and Warriors. He's better off as a SF though. I wonder what they're going to do with JJ Redick though. still a 3rd seed. Can grab #2 from cle, but not on the same planet as Boston (at full strength) .

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 12:37 AM) Matt Barnes signs a 2 year deal with the Magic and C.J Watson signs a 1 year deal offer sheet. Favorites for the East dare I say it? Did you guys not lose Hedo? Did Boston and Cleveland switch conferences?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 08:16 AM) I don't know how anybody can hate the Twins. I can't stand the s***heads when both teams are in contention, but they play fantastic baseball, build their team from within, and have remained competitive more than any other team with a similar payroll than any other team in baseball. Most of the Twins fans I know are either idiots when it comes to baseball or talk way too much s*** than is warranted (and all I do is bring up World Series wins within the past 5, 10, and 15 years, playoff series wins this decade, divisional titles within the past 4 seasons, and game 163...they usually spout off something ridiculous, and I laugh them off), but the Twins themselves run one of the most respected organizations in all of baseball right now. True. I still hate them, though.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 07:02 PM) Eh Wise/Anderson whatever. . THE HULK HOGAN OF BASEBALL IS BACK!!!!! This is all I care about. The team just received it's best player, yet most of this thread consists of people arguing which is better between piss and s***.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 10:58 PM) Seems like Bobby's WHIP lately must be around 3 last few games at least.

OK I know. BA would have caught that

This thread gets more comical with every pods at bat

I hope this thread is a joke.

That better go on the season highlight reel. Damn LMAO

Did not want to make the poll too confusing, so that's why that option was what most bothered you.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 10:35 AM) Dan Haren THIS YEAR Johan Santana last 5 years. Fixed. I don't see how Haren's overall numbers are better than Johan the last 3 years.

Hate away

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 12:18 AM) Excuse me? fathom is far smarter than Ozzie Guillen. He's never made a bad managerial decision in his life. Fathom has never lost a MLB game.
