QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 04:17 AM) You hate me!? who doesn't hate kalapse?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 14, 2005 -> 02:48 PM) I didn't take it that negatively. It just seems like he wants to play for the DR more. U have a point. Though, Its hard not to think negative when you read about Arod Maybe if one of our players did it I would not be so mad.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 14, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) People do it all of the time. How many forgien kids come here to school and train, and then run for the USA in the olympics? Heck our own manager just got his US citizenship. I don't think it is that big of a deal. Well they all live here now. Arod still lives here. If he moved to the DR during the off season , then fine it would not upset me as much. He likes all of america's luxuries , but won't play for us? I just took it in different way, sorry. When I read that he did not want to represent us, it made my stomach turn.

Now what did Hawk do? The poor guy can never catch a break! :headshake

When will AROD understand that it is the American people who pay his 252 million dollar contract. He was born here, most of his fans are here, he gets paid here, he lives here. If you love the Dominican so much f***ING LIVE THERE! :fyou YOU can't pick and choose when you want to be American ,asshole. f*** Arod I hope the USA takes it all

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 03:34 PM) I was named the 2nd starter of the Serbian's pitching staff. Is that a good thing?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) This is bulls***. I really don't understand why people continue to rag on my boy Mike Caruso, out of all the POS players we've fielded over the past 10 years why do people keep s***ting on Mike. He's not the only suck ass, dissapointing, underachieving player we've had, he isn't even the best example of such a player Leave Caruso alone god damn it. for the record I never s*** on Mike.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 03:14 PM) Wait.....that's not normal????

they both hit balls hard?

QUOTE(Jim Belushi @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 01:20 PM) Pedro Martinez why are you here?

If the New England Patriots are called the "Pats", and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are called the "Bucs", then what do you called the Tennessee Titans?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 12:04 PM) Wasn't he at the Cell the onther day? Maye a couple Sox fans took care of him. makes up for the minoso statue

I can see Jon giving up a few runs within the first few innings of his first playoff game. He gets nervous but does not really get shaken up too much. After he gives up a few runs early, he will be fine.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 07:25 AM) Has anyone of those players singlehandedly made multiple players better around them? What would be the net effect of having Ben Davis behind the plate for all of those games vs AJ. Tell me that guys like Garland and Contreras would be having the years they are having with Jaime Burke behind the plate. Tell me how many key hits that Chris Widger would have had if he was playing everyday. No one is denying that those guys you listed are important, but the guy that is most valuable to this team is AJ. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THAT AJ brings to this team what you don't see in his #'s. Mark and Jon have a catcher they trust and respect. They just listen to the signs he calls all year and now they are both All stars.

I did not lose any respect for Gary Sheffield with that comment. Why? Because I never had any for him to begin with.

To be honest, I didn't think The Todd Ritchie deal was that bad at the time. I thought he had upside. He would have had close to 20 wins in 2001 imo if he were playing with anyone but the pirates. He was near the bottom of the league in run support and still had double digit wins. I know a lot of sox fans were tired of wells too at the time. It was not that bad of a trade. The foulke-koch trade was not bad at the time either. Oakland knew something we didn't, simple. If anything we should have scouted koch towards the end of 2002. I blame Jerry manuel more for benching Foulke the rest of 2002 when he was a proven closer who was slumping a little. Funny how he had an era under 3 by the time the year finished out and he never got his job back. Kw made the best out of the situation.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) Queen, Soxy and Laura help.. ok. we have a ratio of 300 to 1 , instead of 600 to 1

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 01:17 PM) I would proceed to ban everybody but me and the lady posters of SoxTalk.... slim pickings . although steff by herself makes up for the low female population .

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 12:48 PM) Become an admin for a day - $1000 - This is Soxtalk's best buy. You can become an admin for a day. See what goes on in the admin board, who do we gossip about, whose the next person to get banned. We even have pools of when certain posters will get banned u guys are just sick :headshake

when was the last time a non juicer won ? yesterday. It helps when you are left a left handed power hitter in comerica park.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 12:20 PM) Cool!! Are you a lifeguard?

I once seen a bunch of cub fans flock around him for his autograph . Morons. :headshake Damn..... Its just so much better to be a sox fan.

That is awesome to hear. Baseball gets something right.

QUOTE(AirScott @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 08:35 AM) a lot of people were saying Jeremy Bonderman would have gone had Rogers not. forgot about him. I agree. He is having a very solid season. Hard to believe he is 22. Being the hometown guy he should get in. I have no love for the tigers but... for the sake of tiger fans rogers should step down. Rogers= asshole
