Somebody's been hitting the booze.

Shields sucks.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 09:32 PM) Are you guys serious? It doesn't matter if Law actually hates the Sox, he's an objective analyst. He's not going out of his way to bash the Sox. Have you ever heard Law say anything good about anything, or anybody, related to the Sox? Seriously.

Flowers owns Verlander because Verlander sucks.

Man, Verlander sucks.

Verlander sucks.

Crain's good enough that I would still do a deal while he's on the DL.

Beckham at SS would be a disaster. Jesus.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 08:16 AM) The way the news is reporting it, it seems that he is accepting guilt for the 2011 season, and DID NOT test positive for anything the past 2 years. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Did he in fact test positive for something this year? My understanding is that nobody knows specifically, but since he's taking more than 50 games, in appears that MLB has evidence that he was using for an extended period of time that covers both the failed test and more involvement with Biogenesis. It looks like all these guys are majorly screwed, especially Arod.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 10:59 AM) Any idea who this involved? Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 3h Heard an incredible story this month of a pitcher who announced to his teammates in the dugout that he drilled a guy because he's a PED user You know who my first thought was... Addison Reed.

Sox fans are a funny bunch. Nobody dogged it more than AJ. Seriously, he loafed, complained, and cried more than anybody, yet people put him on a pedestal. I guess you have to throw your bat to prove you care.

Honorable mention to Carl Everett for having a lot "big hits" early in the year and providing some power when it was sorely missing. #semidrunknostalgia

Pods was a real good example of why pure numbers can be misleading. I'd like to see a stat of his obp in his first and second AB and how many bases he stole off those AB's in the first 80 games of the year. He was constantly on base in the beginning of games, put true pressure on pitchers, stole bases and gave our pitchers an early lead. He impacted the games like crazy. *edit* We scored the first run in something like 50 of the first 55 games. He set the tone for the new look Sox. Other players bought in and they carried that momentum throughout the year. Obviously the consistency if the pitching staff was needed, but Pods was a tone setting, impact player that year. Numbers won't tell you that.

Congrats and good luck.

This game is kind of bumming me out. Some good players that will be gone soon because the team underperformed. I actually liked this team on paper.

Pull that Johnson loafer!!!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 05:51 PM) Not good Veal. He's really having problems with the release point of the slider. It doesn't have the tilt because it looks like he's trying to guide it.

How stoned does Rios look? Haha

That was one ugly yet effective swing.

Viciedo walk motherf***er!!!

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 05:15 PM) That one was tough to be honest. Very nice catch. You're right, but he should have been 3/4's, not rounding second.

Nice read ADA. Haha

Imagine Greg if we would have signed BJ Upton. Just reading the posts would be worth the misery of watching.

I still like Morel's swing. It's nice and easy for RH.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 02:45 PM) You know what, I just don't really care. I like seeing Robin make an example of him. People can b**** about everything. I like that he pulled him, but I don't like that he did it in the most passive way imaginable. He should have pulled him immediately, had a meeting in his office right after the game, and told him not to talk to the media. It's almost like Ventura is apathetic too. Well, I guess I have to pull him, but I'm going to avoid the confrontation.
