Andruw just looks great.

Dont know how many more years Matt can be Matt, but I sure will take it. Would be great to get him a ring for all he's done here.

Easy Heat. good. Ozzie wants to get on a roll here in Toronto.

The thing is Tyler would only make sense at this point if he could split time between DH and backup C.... but right handed DH is all taken care of for now.

Santos, cool. Maybe I dont have to stab myself with scissors after all.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 04:56 PM) Remember a few years ago when our backup Toby got hurt The way I first read this, it was like we had two Tobys and the backup one got hurt

Anyone wanna sum up what Toronto is looking like this year?

I, too, say hello

This Sarah Spain is a cubs fan i take it? Neutral hat choice, also it sounded a bit weird hearing "The Cell" on a broadcast...

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 01:25 PM) Kotsay really grinds the ball into the ground. The Kotsay experiment needs to end...it's sad he actually received a Major League contract. This takes it a little far. He's one of the better pinch hitters in MLB

No Mauer tonight according to David Schuster of 670

Like how Pierre handles the bat

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 12:09 PM) I dont think it is unreasonable to think that there is a possibility that Maggs has used PEDs over the course of his career. he was in the middle of the era where it happened, everyone is under suspicion And PD, I dont understand why you think everyone is still expending energy hating the guy. Its been 6 years, he is gone. I dont recall threads coming up bashing him everytime he comes into town, he may get a slight boo from the crowd when he comes into town, but nothing out of the norm for any former player playing for a team within the division. i didnt say anything about expending energy. I wanna know what people think about him today, even if--whatever it is--is now pushed to the back of their minds and the further question, as i stated, is how he will be remembered as a Sox... whether he will be granted his perhaps rightful place as one of the franchise's best.

Wrestlers had a serious problem working with Ultimate Warrior in the ring. He was a roided freak who didnt pay any dues and was given fame right away. Then he'd get in the ring and do holds all wrong. A time or two he dropped people on their heads b/c he was doing the gorilla press wrong. Led to serious----real---injuries

Years later I have a different perspective on the matter than I used to: 1) he had an interview during the 2005 Wolrd Series indicating how he was jealous to be sitting at home watching his former teammates, and felt like he should've been there. That's like finding out She had a crush on you after all, except now you're off at separate colleges. So in that respect, I'm good 2) for all the things we have hated over the years about our organization, we cant turn around and blame him when...after years...he got sick of the same sort of stuff. We around here have lifelong contracts with the name on the uniform. Players are not nearly so unlucky. If they want out, then it's best for them and the team/fans that a parting occur. To bind the fan favorites to the team in a rigid way is something the Cubs Corp would do years on end with Grace/Dunston. Have to be more creative to win. Which leads me to #3... 3) the money savings led to some great '05 FA pickups 4) he's one of the (near)great players in Sox history. years down the line we'll remember those real solid years he had here, before the bad stuff. Maybe not yet but later on down the line.

I'm always amazed when people argue for the right to know less as opposed to more.

Aint nothin compared to my incipient Ricky The Dragon Steamboat thread.

You can lose a 20K game but cant lose a perfect game

Who's the person with that sig of Sawyer and the checklist? Wanted to send that to someone

above-average pinch runner needed. we can tell ourselves it doesnt matter that much but it comes in handy at the moment where Ws can become Ls

People are really nitpicking with Chris here. All he's indicating that Kotsay is not that farfetched a notion for hitting higher in the lineup. When you look at all the OBPs up and down this lineup, it's hard to argue too stridently for anyone, be it Kotsay or anyone else. Do we call Beckham and CQ sure things to produce? No. They're high up in the lineup because it's the most sensible leap of faith to make. Everyone else is right behind em in being x-factors of varying shapes n' sizes. This is the kind of lineup where you could see tons of shuffling if things arent starting out great.

Turned this up in a search: Retherford's roles help ASU By Mark Armijo The Arizona Republic May. 31, 2006 12:00 AM Is there a position on the diamond that Arizona State University junior C.J.
