ugh, Nike does the weirdest stuff. See: oregon

Every time they say Tony Gwynn it kinda freaks me out. Apparently Razor was a product of the Reds? When was this? June 6, 1978: Drafted by the Montreal Expos in the 18th round of the 1978 amateur draft. November 8, 1985: Released by the Montreal Expos. July 25, 1986: Signed as a Free Agent with the Montreal Expos. October 15, 1987: Granted Free Agency.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 01:53 PM) 1.) Where you're living you can't have a dish (apartment, condo, dorm) Also it would cost me 25 more dollars a month to then have internet without the cable tv. My condo association bans any dish on the outside of our building. Many of the buildings around me are the same, even some have contracts with dish network or somehting other than Directv. Basically, im screwed if I ever wanted the package. QUOTE(southsideirish @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 04:00 PM) What does COmcast offer DirecTV customers besides On Demand? Are there any channels that Comcast customers get that you can't get on DirecTV? On Demand itself it freakin awesome. If you havent had it, I understand, but the quality of TV on there is worth every penny.

Day in to pitch. Throws gas.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 04:10 PM) Briggs has probably seen what Adalius Thomas got, and is upset he can't get that type of long - term deal from someone, because the Bears won't let him. The funny thing is, in theory, that longevity means nothing at all. Its basically a bunch of one year deals in the NFL.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Feb 27, 2007 -> 07:00 PM) Haha, yeah, looks like I got you. Realistically though, I should be getting like double-credit for some of the novel-length posts I've made, especially early in my time here. Damn, didn't realize that you've been here that long, or that I've been on longer than Rock. With this name yeah. Barely with my old one I believe, though i only had like 1,000 posts with it. IM all about quantity, game threads are the padder. crap, guys I cant do that draft time, im traveling for work during the draft.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 04:06 PM) I think there's a reason why these guys are doing Brewers.com broadcasts. True. They did have some nice tales about the old rivalry, that saying "they have the cubs to deal with now."

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 04:03 PM) He didn't he only played for Montreal in his brief stint in the bigs and never played for a Sox minor league affiliate. Those guys were just throwing stuff out there. Lol at calling Rogo a "big dude" He thinks that everyone on the team is huge.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 04:01 PM) When did Razor play for the Sox? I guess I could look it up...but I'm laaazy. Thats kinda the point, i dont know where they got that info. Here is razor's career: June 6, 1978: Drafted by the Montreal Expos in the 18th round of the 1978 amateur draft. November 8, 1985: Released by the Montreal Expos. July 25, 1986: Signed as a Free Agent with the Montreal Expos. October 15, 1987: Granted Free Agency. Cooper: June 6, 1978: Drafted by the New York Yankees in the 17th round of the 1978 amateur draft. December 8, 1980: Drafted by the Minnesota Twins from the New York Yankees in the 1980 rule V draft.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 04:00 PM) Apparently all of the current sox coaches once played for the ballclub. Don't tell that to Don Cooper. shhhhhh

credepopsup Lucy rips one to center, Terrero makes it to 3rd Anyone who isnt listening, the announcers are talking about how all 7 coaches played for the Sox, and how its a loyal org. Gooch misses the squeeze call, Luis tagged out

Some how Whistler gets the lead runner on a slow roller. Whistler retires the side on 3 slow rollers. Terrero singles, Crede up

lucy is in at C. Whistler in to pitch.

I think Porter is going to make less on the market than Briggs is trying for at this point.

Wow, I thought Mcgahee was for sure going there.

QUOTE(TheOcho @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 03:39 PM) Talk about sickly ... did ya see Wood yesterday? Oh yeah. "He lost weight for this upcoming season." He lost 30 lbs I think someone said, thats alot of weight to lose in the offseason the natural way. But he was hitting the mid to high 90's in their game today.

QUOTE(Felix @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 03:34 PM) Yea, it obviously has NOTHING to do with injuries building up on a body or anything like that. Could be that too. Could also have caused the injuries. Prior does look sickly nowadays though. Alot of questions about him should be raised however. Either way, he may be done.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 03:31 PM) Prior was such a steroid user its sick. Losing 10-12 mph on your fastball has got to raise some questions about this.

anyone read this yet? http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...s&fext=.jsp

Yeah I dont know too much about him, thats what I read before the last article I posted. It sounds to me like hes a bigger talent than many think

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 03:21 PM) ill take a laugh good pitching Lance!!! Ok Prior was throw 83-85 mph on the gun. 2 ER in an inning and a third. The mariners even ran and hit themself out of more run. Lou had to get him out after this: Also a couple of cubs fans call the Mariners trash on their site. Because outside of wrigleyville, EVERYONE is trash.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 03:18 PM) Does it have to do with Prior? Because I've already had a good time thinking of ways the media will spin his start. Nice, I was wondering if anyone saw prior's line.

ok, who feels like a laugh?

Pablo did have a .365 OBP last year. Not great, but better than PODS career. Dye almost nails one out

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 03:09 PM) I'd talk him as a leadoff man every once in a while but he's not much of a threat to draw a walk and I want no part of him in the OF especially with Erstad (a pretty good OF defender) on the 25 man roster. Im gonna go out on a very very very thin and unstable limb here. Pablo>Pods in LF I really think his athleticism will allow him to be a decent fielder and get on base at a good clip. He was a top prospect at one point (age notwithstanding)
