Gordon's radio show has been getting so awkward to listen to as this slump persists

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 4, 2010 -> 07:19 PM) so, Kenny said Teahen is a real 3B. but he isn't. what does this mean? Kenny cant properly evaluate talent? The need for a lefty bat blinded his better judgment. Is my hope/guess

Kaplan and Phil Rogers arguing fervently on CTL. I cant decide which guy is dumber.

Here's a thought guys, how bout we leave my fact-deficient rumor-mongering to go unchecked

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ May 3, 2010 -> 09:57 PM) So I´m curious is Rios the real deal now this year? He sure looks like after a month and change. He's had a respectable career minus one year. If he's the tempermental type, as some have said, then maybe that explains how a trade could create such a disturbance in his game mid year.

Sure would be great if we have that Rios who got 47 doubles in '08. That kind of bat with his D in center is well worth the contract.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 3, 2010 -> 09:13 PM) I don't mind Thornton here. We gotta win this game. Agreed. It's time to put us on track immediately before things slip away from us.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ May 3, 2010 -> 09:03 PM) haha peavy yellin at the umpire as he was leaving the field If he has any sense, it was more of him half-apologizing for any of the anger he was expressing earlier in the inning. But if that's true then that's not having much poise for being up 5-0...

So what specifically is Jake doing better today....to the eye, that is

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2010 -> 08:37 PM) RBI's 10 and 11 for Alex. Way to pick up TMK, who's scuffling more than industrial grade sandpaper being dragged through the Gobi Desert. This is what we want out of posters.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 3, 2010 -> 08:36 PM) Yeah Alex! Big two out hit! Are things turning? Tell me things are turning. I'd count the way we performed the first two days in NY as part of a turnaround, even if we stunk it up Day 3.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 3, 2010 -> 08:32 PM) If I go out and start charging people money for sex, I might end the night with 60 bucks. Neither of those two things, me going out during finals, or successfully prostituting myself is going to happen. So, why should Pierre's happen? I- I lost my train of thought. Pierre had .360 OBP in the NL last year. It's not unheard of for him to have .330 OBP here at year's end. The prostitution part of that, though, I agree is unlikely.

Man, imagine how valuable Jones could be if a few more guys in this lineup were getting it done more often.

Ha AJ and hawk's sad parent response

lols at dejesus

To the eye Peavy seems completely different than the last time I saw him (two starts ago)

QUOTE (jphat007 @ May 3, 2010 -> 07:38 PM) Minnesota already up 4. They are stupid good When Martz called Hester 'stupid'-good, I think Bernstein mustve done instant backflips

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2010 -> 05:39 PM) What does it say? Twitter, Fecebook, Myspace, youtube, hulu.com, etc. are blocked in CHINA by the "GREAT FIREWALL." Kenny is giving the team a month. Whether this means a month til wild salary dumping, that is unclear. Maybe we'll see if AJ's developed trade value through multiple years of (fairly) incident free play and high OBP for a catcher.

Maybe. I dunno. http://twitter.com/Cst_Sox One month

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 2, 2010 -> 11:18 AM) You do know the "blogger" he was insulting is the same guy who owns this site? I vaguely knew there was some kind of connection between that guy and this place. But it doesnt do anything to change the fact that the Angels/Konerko part of that whole thing didn't make sense.

QUOTE (Disco72 @ May 2, 2010 -> 10:45 AM) This is turning into another "Cowley" thread, but he bashed the "rumor" that the Sox and Padres talked names and possibly included the Angels in the mix, and now he reports that the Sox and Padres "talked names." He's reporting the exact same thing he bashed (very unintelligently and unprofessionally) in the offseason. There's really no defending Cowley here. I dont think it was ever about the facts even back then. He never said that what the blogger indicated was a lie. He simply said (correctly) that the Konerko thing was a longshot (and it didnt happen). And then he made fun of the blogger. That part is open for us to judge, yes. But basically that whole episode was more just him making fun of someone who did a report online. I dont think it was Cowley saying a trade for Adrian Gonzalez could never happen. A trade for anyone can happen down the line. Everyone knows this.

It was poor form from Cowley attacking that blogger. But from his perspective, his field is kind of disappearing in the face of a lot of people providing aspects of his livelihood for free. I can at least see why he'd have an axe to grind. Plenty of other writers are a lot more classy about it. I think Sam Smith was pretty outspoken against blogging's role in today's landscape----- then he was let go by his paper and has now, in a sense, become a blogger.

If we ever have to move Teahan to LF down the line, I wonder if we can get by like that. Sure, that's a weak bat to have in LF, but depending on the roster it might be passable. Between him and Rios, respectively at LF and CF, we could be getting some 37 HR yearly combined from those two positions. Maybe. I suppose his versatility is a reason for the contract. And our extreme need for LH bats

And you dont need CQ to find his old days if you have a Marte finding ....his

OK so everyone who stopped being a Sox fan just then now has to switch back....
