QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 09:22 PM) I wouldn't be surprised. I think I'm more pissed off that he always sac bunts with Pierre on first. Like if the game is close and Pierre is on first, he'll always try to bunt him over. Yet, in almost every other situation, Pierre is always free to steal. Because if Pierre gets caught stealing you would come on here and say how stupid he is for running into outs. Getting your fastest player into scoring position at 2nd base in a tie game with the middle of the order coming up with TWO chances to get a hit and score the guy is frankly an ideal situation. Of course since we didnt win the game, its becomes alot easier to try and find something to criticize. Where are all of the posts about how Putz should be DFA'd?

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 09:41 PM) Between the bunts and his decision to PH for Viciedo which quickly resulted in a pitcher with no control or confidence to be immediately yanked from the game, I was left shaking my head after this one. I can't wait until that idiot is no longer on our bench. LOL. You mean he took out Viciedo who hadnt come even close to a pitch the last two at bats and put in one of our best clutch hitters this season? It was actually a very good move IMO. And the bunts were good as well considering our offense this series, all it takes it a hit by the middle of the order, and they didnt come through. Keep second guessing the team when they lose, it makes it funnier when you guys cheer on these moves when they win.

You cant win that suit, thats why they print that warning on the tickets. Good luck buddy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 03:58 PM) Kenny was also quite angry at an unnamed GM that he felt was just asking for the moon from Kenny to try to drive up the asking price on that player for other teams. And referred to this trading deadine as particularly frustrating because of it. Aka, "leaked" info about how close the Sox actually were to getting Dunn. Driving up the price saying there was a 3-way deal possible or that the Sox were shopping Gordo. I dont think we were close at all for Dunn.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 08:55 PM) Really feel like KW would kick the crap out of Rizzo if he got the chance. Didnt get that at all. All I saw was EJax was never discussed and KW wanted to keep him instead of trying to get Dunn. Rizzo has said multiple times that the Sox were in a distant 3rd place and were never close. And since I now see how close the deal actually was, I am more confident in my sources. I mentioned Berkman months ago as a player of interest and its clear they were talking about it legitimately back then.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 09:16 PM) And I just have to say that Ozzie needs to limit Rios in trying to steal bases, he's been so inefficient. Pierre is probably the only guy worth running. We ran into so many outs in this game I was kicking chairs around. Rios was safe, so actually no.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 02:04 PM) Nicely done. Do you know anyone who is a good java programmer or can build applications? I have an idea for an iphone/droid app and I cannot make it happen without a ton of help.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 02:18 PM) Ive been told part of the reason that Indy has been getting Championships over Chicago is that the City of Indianapolis helps the Big 10 coordinate and has a dedicated office to help. Conversely Chicago makes the Big 10 do everything and isnt very helpful. But Chicago is where the Big 10 would prefer to hold games (although United Center isnt nearly as good of a venue as Soldier Field) and I would not be surprised to see Soldier Field in a 3 year rotation for the game. Chicago is the biggest Big 10 market and its the market you need to lock down. Is it really the biggest B10 market though? There is only one Big Ten team in Chicago and it has the least amount of fans of every other school in the conference. I really like the Dome idea, at least for year 1.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 02:04 AM) Would you trade Danks for Votto straight up? I think I would, considering his contract (or lackthereof) 100% Votto is a legit triple crown threat and is an absolute beast.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 09:53 AM) Which site was better? I can't think of another domed stadium anywhere in Big 10 12 country except Detroit. I think its the best for the fans. As much as I like the outside stadiums and whatnot, it is centrally located and is a great stadium. They will serve booze most likely as well.

The O-line for the Bears is f***ing swiss cheese, I dont care how many times they go on air and talk about how dynamic the offense will be, Cutler is going to be running for his life instead of looking downfield. I am guessing Forte averages about 2.1 YPC over the first several games.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 04:24 PM) which, for whatever reason, isn't working right now, so adjustments, either mechanically to get the curveball back or as Balta pointed out in another thread, possibly not tipped or a change in philosophy of how he attacks hitters. The bench calling for a slider was dumb as f***. His fastball and hard curve was what he needed, unfortunately he hit Jackson with that curve, but the fastball was working. Eliminate all of his pitches but 3 and let the guy throw.

FYI, Rizzo said there were two other teams closer to getting Dunn than the Sox, I would really stay away from the Dunn points from here on out.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 02:02 PM) Matt Kemp's relationship with Rihanna should probably explain his horrible season this year. She probably rides the s*** out of you in bed.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 02:04 PM) Nicely done. As a software salesman, I'm the worst of the bunch anyway.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 02:14 PM) I still say wait until the game. It's only a few days away and you don't risk anything that way. It's not like she's going to fall in love with someone in the meantime and go elope. I think she would appreciate that he went to look for it. He's the hunter after all. After you hook her, thats when you back away to make her crazy.

Sterger huh? That attention grabbing whore isnt exactly a good source for anything other than half-shirts.

How much blow did Cusack do before the game.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 01:49 PM) *awaits ridiculous feedback from SouthSideDon* I'll give you a preview: All of them are too skinny, too light, and dont look enough like street walkers from Atlanta.

I wish people would stop calling Misty May hot. Mrs Greinke, great camel toe.

Ah, jesus, developers vs analysts. Whats next, a DB admin coming in here saying that it wasnt SQL's fault Soxtalk went down?

Ask one of your mutual friends for her number. Not only will you get it, but she will hear you asked for it and went the extra mile.

I think Kotsay is just distracted by his wife sexting me all the time.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 05:38 PM) Hah, I am right now man...I haven't been able to do the resistance training workouts for 4-5 weeks now...I did start doing plyo the last few weeks though...so I am a skinny little s*** right now. Going for a run right now, working on getting that lean s*** going man. I'm down to a 32 in waist for the first time in a long time, its crazy.
