QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 07:38 PM) Hawk went from loving him to HATING him. Melton has said similar things about him. He simply doesnt make adjustments. He moved his stance a touch, but still swings from his heels and never cuts it down. He's in good shape, apparently can still see the ball, yet is an out machine.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 07:32 PM) Rock, my buddy, give me some drunk food suggestions? Oh s***, what are you in the mood for? Are you ordering in? I am contemplating 1 of 3 choices tonight 1. Wings 2. Tacos 3. Chicken Pita

And a terrible piece of hitting by Jones, as usual.

HAAAAAAAAWWWWWTTT DOOOOOOGGGGGSSSS

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 07:27 PM) Man, I been drinking since 5:30. But it's controlled drunk. If I was Lindsay Lohan drunk I'd be in the drunk thread talking about anacondas coming up through the toilet through my buttocks. LOL, if I hadnt been stuck in traffic for 2 hours while coming back from Madison I would be drunk too. Instead i took my frustration out on Grant park during a run. Its about time to crack one though.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 06:43 PM) Konerko's 2004 was almost a carbon copy of 2005, and he had a higher OPS in 2006 than 2004 or 2005. You cannot compare Konerko's attitude with Manny's. There's no questioning Manny's talent, but he's taken a lot of time off during his career just to be stupid. His numbers would be ridiculous if he had Konerko's worth ethic. Konerko's stats have almost entirely been linked to his injuries, especially his thumb. He does tend to over analyze and get stuck in quick sand if he's going bad, but when healthy he's pretty consistent.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 07:14 PM) Damn, is that really true? I'm too drunk to look it up. How the f*** are you drunk already?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 06:19 PM) If he's healthy. I'm guessing he's not. There are a lot of players who would be an upgrade at the DH spot right now who you wouldn't have to pay $4 million to roll the dice. Then the Sox wont pick him up, its as simple as that. I am guessing he's at least healthy enough to DH which makes us alot better of a team.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 06:04 PM) DA, there is no guarantee. He could go end of '09 Jermaine Dye on us. But would you rather go with the guarantee that Kotsay/Jones will continue to be inept or that one of the top offensive forces in the history of the game can do what he's done his whole career? I'm not looking for 1999 Manny. I want a Manny that can get us to the playoffs. As far as the 4 million goes, I say f*** it. We've got a 4/5 starter making over 8 million in Edwin Jackson next year. We added Peavy/Rios last year when KW basically said he was broke. I've given up trying to figure out this team's resources and how they choose to allocate them. Exactly, there is a 100% chance that he is better than Jones and Kotsay if he's healthy. The White Sox spent the 3rd least in offseason FA additions, they have cash.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 05:55 PM) No not really. Yes you are. You should take a weekend and mark down both the positive decisions and the negative ones that Ozzie makes instead of just pointing out the wrong ones. That is an objective view. I dont think anyone is objective in their overall opinion, so calling out someone who is clearly subjective while you yourself are the same way is kind of defeating the point.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 03:05 PM) What would it take for you to objectively critique ANYTHING that Ozzie does? You know you are the exact opposite of that right?

QUOTE (T R U @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 05:06 PM) I just got my P90X and am having a hard time understanding exactly how I am suppose to go about doing it everyday.. can someone give me a simplified explanation about how im suppose to use the DVDs and what not.. I can email you the powerpoint if you like. It has a schedule of what to do ech day.

9 replies in a winner thread. NIce.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 11:47 AM) The important question is then can Pauly play the entire remainder of the season without a day off? Unless Teahen can play 1B? Teahen can. You can DFA kotsay because of Teahen's LH bat. Teahen can also spell CQ in RF if need be. He becomes the supersub along with Lilli.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 23, 2010 -> 06:30 PM) I dont think I am asking him to rely on statistics only, I think that would also make a bad manager. I think my problem is when Ozzie completely ignores them and they are overwhelmingly against his decision, and they burn him badly. It isnt a one time occurance, it has happened multiple times. And his manners can be fine at times, but come on, he tells everyone to f*** off with regularity. How many times does he go with stats opposed to going against them. Have you counted both sides? It appears as though you are only paying attention to exceptions which is a bad strategy for evaluation.

So far we want a manager who relies only on statistics to make in game decisions, holds out for the 3 run bomb, and has great manners.

Good fight in the last page or so. However I am not sure anyone hit upon the main part of the value of Edwin vs Hudson during the decision making process. KW did not want a rookie in the rotation because of the POSSIBLE strain it would put on the bullpen working Freddy and then Huddy back to back. Hudson was more of an unknown and was showing a propensity to throw alot of pitches early. Edwin was a guy that could possibly go deep into game with at least the same results thus making the bullpen fresher for the stretch run.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 07:27 PM) 1. Lane is starting to come off as very phony and trying to hard to be funny. 2. Why does Hayden has to yell at the camera in the Diary Room? 3. I'm better looking than your fiance, Britney! You knew in a town less than 700 people that he would be a troll. He's in serious trouble after this because she will have all sorts of guys coming after her.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 11:44 AM) The differences in schedule: Sox play one more road game in detroit than the twins, they each play 3 home and 3 away in addition. (edge to twins) We play 6 games @ LAA and Oak, Twins have 6 against them at home (big edge to twins) They play Texas for 7 (3 home /4 away), we play Boston for 7 (4/3) (slight edge to sox) We host NYY for 3, they host Toronto for 4. (edge to twins) We both play 15 games vs. bottom feeders (they play Cle, KC and Sea, we play Cle, KC and Bal) - but we have 9 home games, whereas they have 6. (slight edge to sox) I think we need a sweep at the Cell to have a shot... We play better in Detroit against the Tigers than we do at home.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 11:19 AM) Rachel is ridiculously annoying. I'm glad we've seen the end of her until the last epsiodes. She's not even attractive. Britney will assuredly put up Brendon, then the question is who she puts up against him. It won't be Ragan, Matt, or Lane, so it's got to be one of Enzo/Hayden. I have a feeling Hayden and Brendon will be up. Then the POV where Brendon flourishes could mean anything. Brendan needs to go home, he's honestly the biggest p**** Ive ever seen. How can he be talking about the future mother of his children that he's known for 30 days on a reality show, and to boot she is ugly as f***.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 07:26 PM) Atta boy, Teahen. Nice slide. f*** Hudson that douche.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 11:07 PM) Just saw this. This should be epic. Rock we'll have to grab a pint or 6 there. Consider it done my man. And Girl and the Goat is f***ing ridiculous, you cant get in there even on a tuesday when its raining. That place is the hottest I've seen a restaurant in this area.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 09:17 AM) On AD she's normally rocking the bikini by the jacuzzi. Rachel sure came in guns blazing last night, didn't she? She wound up looking a fool. I'm REALLY excited to see how/when that diamond POV is played and who Matt puts up. In my opinion, now is the time for him to flip on the Brigade and put Hayden up, but he'll probably put Kathy up and she'll be gone. He has to put Kathy up, its the right move and assures him one more week in the house IMO. And Rachel's dumb ass should know better than to pick a fight with a b****y gay guy who just won POV. He stomped her brains out with words. She is the most annoying person on BB ever.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 04:56 PM) Since Pronger's contract is BS, take away Philly's conference championship too. Heck, just pretend like your highest rated Stanley Cup Finals in over 30 years never happened! Looks like the Sharks take the cup!!!
