I'm totally fine with bringing in steroid users. To me, that sounds like someone who really wants to win. Hell, let's bring in a whole team of cheaters if it means more wins. Whatever it takes!

Let's not forget that the marketing for this team thus far has been HORRIBLE - those stupid pie in the face TV spots etc. We all love Brooks as a guy but the marketing last few years has been really shoddy, let's admit it.

Joxer, I'd also heartily recommend the Ken Burns Baseball documentary miniseries - it's chock full of stuff like this and was a primer for baseball history when I was just starting to get into the game really in-depth wise. Should be available streaming online somewhere I'd imagine...

So it's a reality show - what network is it on (mlb?) and how does it work as a competition? I don't think MLB has actually done a very good job promoting this.

Peavy gets $14.5M in both 2013 and 2014. If Peavy reaches IP thresholds in 2013 and 2014 seasons, he can extend contract to 2015 at $15M. Chris DeLuca - SunTimes

Details on Peavy: Two years, $29M with incentives that could bring him back in '15. Floyd will make $9.5M in 2013. per DavidHaugh on Twitter

Sign a big name free agent every off-season whether you need them or not - that's what the Angels do, and their setup is very similar to the Sox. There's NOTHING to do next to the Stadium but they still pull 3 mil every year.

That was a lot of work Soxnews for a snowball's chance in hell. Give up now - you'll feel better. Denial is always the first stage of grief.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 09:16 PM) I mean would any of you be surprised if we get swept this weekend and they win all three? That'd put them up by one with a lot of baseball left. It's just inexcusable for the Sox to play such a sloppy game tonight with so much at stake. It's ridiculous. I know baseball is a funny game, but the pickoff? The out at home? WTF??? This game meant a ton to give it away. I'd be surprised yeah. We play the Angels well. I can still see us still losing 1 of the 3 and still losing ground tho.

QUOTE (Cali @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 11:15 AM) You also had a gut feeling KC would finish ahead of the Sox this year too. How'd that work out? This.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 11:33 AM) Lot's of Sox bseball on the national broadcasts this coming week. Hope you guys can tune in like me Lot's????????????

Cant complain w this lineup. Can the kids play?

Jake looks like he hasn't slept in days.

Man, I hate Moose Skowron.

In town for first home game of the year. Hope Zach can do what he did last time. Go Sox!

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jul 13, 2011 -> 03:49 PM) I somehow see this happening. The WWE has the best angle they've run in quite some time (at least since the intitial Nexus forming) & they WILL completely blow it. Fixed it for you.

She's not even as hot as the media would have you believe. Very average. Not like that schoolteacher who slept with her students a few years back.

I will be there. Not sure where I'm sitting tho.

Going Tuesday. Previous trips all were rained out, so I'm hoping 3x the charm.

He should miss up to three weeks - it's not exactly an easy procedure. It depends if the appendix ruptured or not. Not the end of the season, but still a pain in the ass.

Buehrle is misspelled in the thread title fyi

Sucker Punch was more boring than anything else. Zack Snyder wouldn't know how to write a decent script if Syd Field himself shared his body. I'm worried about the Superman movie now.

QUOTE (OsweGo-Go Sox @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 10:20 AM) Am I the only person who's alright with Ravich? I find him the least offensive baseball guy on ESPN. He picked Houston in the WS. He is dead to me.

I would've preferred the death penalty.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 12:53 PM) I thoroughly enjoyed Book of Eli too. Kept me entertained the whole time and at the end of the day that is all I can ask for from a movie. I probably won't see it. All the Bible stuff turns me off.
