QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 02:03 PM) Don't you know!!!! We're loading up on pitchers so we can trade for Griffey Jr. CoreyPattersontalk.com

We need some position players.

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 01:31 PM) Sox select Matthew Long, P, Miami Univ (f*** you, MU, get a new goddamn name Miami University was a school before Fla was a state. Plus there were no Miami Indians in Fla. Morons down there.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:26 AM) Guys like Everett and Smoltz really should be taken to the woodshed if they made comments about playing with gay players. Its no different than saying you wouldn't play with a latin, black, or white player. Its ignorant. Not really. I wouldnt want to be in the same lockerroom as gay players either. I do not agree with the choice of homosexuality.

You Are 82% Evil You're the most evil person you know. The devil is even a little scared of you! How Evil Are You? 82

Thanks SSI. To clarify, I eat carbs, I actually could never not eat carbs. But its the time of the day, and the kind of carbs you eat that you must look out for. Hes correct. Oh, and protein, protein protein. I cannot stress that enough. Also make sure you eat 4-5 small meals a day if you would like to get really strict on your diet. I live on frozen chicken breasts, lean meat, and veggies. Fruit is my snack, and jerky in between. Protein shakes are apart of my diet as well.

Im gonna hate if they kill Sil. He is easily my fav character.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 11:35 PM) I just can't get rid of the fat around my stomach, I try and try and nothing seems to work. I'm not over weight or anything (6'2" 195 lbs) but I'd like to get rid of the extra weight around my stomach area. I've always had a belly so maybe that's just part of me, but I'm sick of it and want to try to do something about it. I bike a lot and I'm trying to eat healthier right now. I guess I'd like to know some of your ab workouts or suggestions for my quest at a leaner stomach. Thanks. There are several things that I do for this problem. 1. Cardio, you have to do at least 20-30 min a day 4 times a week. This is a must as cardio is the only way you will lose fat around that area. Otherwise you are building muscle under the fat which makes it look worse. 2. Core strength training. Not only do you need to work your abs, but your back and obliques as well. This will help with the fat around your love handles as well as the back fat that you dont even know is there. Plus core strength is a must to stay healthy. 3. Diet. NO CARBS AFTER 7. Thats right, eat an early dinner and if you must snack, no carbs at all. In fact a great portion of your dinners should include lean chicken and veggies, or fish and lean beef. 4 Full body weight traning. You cant just train certain parts of your body and expect targeted results. Training parts of your body on different times of the week keeps stimulating your metabolism and aids fat loss. 5. Water, water and more water. The more water you drink, the less you retain. Its going to take at least a month of strict regulations on your diet and excercise to see results. It sucks, but it does work.

um, yeah, not gonna happen. Our offense is fine, we need bullpen strength. Badly.

So Im going to DC on business tomorrow, planning on watching A-row take on the Nats. Nice to knock another park off my list. QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 11:20 PM) Pods SUCKS vs lefties. He deserves to be on the bench. Actually, historically, he isnt that bad against LHP>

QUOTE(sti3 @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 04:26 PM) It's very hard to predict the perfofrmance of bullpen pitchers from one year to the next. Almost all of them are very inconsistent. vizcaino and marte were crap for most of last year. Viz is actually one of the easiest. 1 good year, 1 bad year, 1 good year, 1 bad year.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 04:18 PM) :rolly No it's not. OMG, THE BIG TEN B-BALL TOURNEY IS IN INDY, NOW IT'S A CITY! That's comical. Did I really need to put that in green for you to get it?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 04:11 PM) Because our manager is in love with matchups based on which hand someone was blessed with. This the same reason that Boone Logan faced Hafner in the first series of the year. The same reason that we put out the 3 dog lineup everytime a lefty approaches the rubber. Pretty much when a lefty comes to toe the rubber, you lose AJ and Pods right off the bat. and then we try to figure out why our offense struggles against lefties. You take good plate calling and a good hitter with Widger who is a great backup once a week or such. Ozuna is a spark plug in the game, but his glove costs games in the outfield. As bad as he was at 3rd base last year, this years adventures in the OF mask anything he did last year. Ozzie has replaced Timo with Ozuna on his depth chart of favorite guy off the bench. So guess what is going to happen when Anderson gets suspended. We will see Ozuna and his horrid defense go out into the field in center. Our starting pitching needs good defense. Not the grenade catching we are getitng out of the subs. Eggg-zactly. Since when is trotting out a lineup of all righties the way to face tough LHP? Its the worst idea. Heres some nice data for ya. Ozzie, the righty lefty thing is Dusty Baker's obsession, which is why he sucks Brian Anderson Career stats Vs LHP 67 AB .119 avg .221 OBP .194 SLG .415 OPS 1HR 2RBI Vs RHP 83 AB .205 avg .272 OBP .398 SLG .669 OPS 5 HR 13 RBI What part of this means he should only face LHP?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 03:29 PM) The Kennedy is a mile and a half away, and the Ike is less than a mile away?!?!? Conseco is just as far off of the interstates as the UC. As for hotels, downtown Chicago is about 2-3 miles away depending on if you are talking about Michigan Abe or the west loop. 2-3 miles? There is the Crowne plaza right down madison past my condo. I walk to the loop and the UC. That obviously couldnt have factored into their decision. Its just another attempt for Indy to try and act like a legit city.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 03:56 PM) On a sidenote, I am a proponent of playing Anderson every single day. I think Ozzie has done a piss poor job handling McCarthy and Anderson this year. The rest of your points I thought were garbage IMO, as every team isnt looking to help us out by trading their starting OF'ers. But I agree with this point. BA is a better hitter against RHP, so why the f*** are we only playing him against LHP?

At least they have Nick Blaines

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 05:02 PM) Yet, last week I was criticized for not believing Nelson would become an effective addition to our bullpen. It was clear as f***ing daylight he wasn't going to offer us much of anything. I "gave him a chance," as others have insisted, and he showed us NOTHING. First indication should have been the Cardinals releasing him. Second should have been the obvious drop in velocity and over reliance on a hanging slider. his slider is nothing like it used to be. Good Riddance.

Heres my solutions. Politte pitches inside. BA plays against RHP, since he is better against them anyway. Our SP doesnt crap itself. Thome comes back.

DL stint, in the next 9 days.

I do not think the Sox are in any position to deal any sort of pitching.

QUOTE(MSHAWKS @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 08:59 AM) This season was an absolute dissapointment. From Tony's coma to Vito and Johnny Cakes to that boring Christmas party yesterday. Too much AJ bulls*** this year, as well. I hate that character. It may seem that way when all you do is watch the show for the action and the killing and not as much for character development. I think its a solid season setting up the final episodes.

QUOTE(T R U @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 01:55 AM) If I love Artest then obviously he isnt unloveable No, but most people dont love a player who has been known to rough up fans, be suspended for a year, and basically be one of the most hated players in the NBA.

His foot is crumbling, he wont last the season.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 07:14 PM) It didn't help that the pen also gave up 4 runs today. Yes, because our offense was really coming back. Our team is slumping.
