QUOTE (lostfan @ May 31, 2009 -> 01:52 PM) Jim Thome is one without a doubt, I'd also guess Ryan Howard and Nick Swisher. Does Juan Uribe count? Adam Dunn.

QUOTE (ptatc @ May 31, 2009 -> 12:42 PM) The traps do go up the back of the neck. They are the thick muscles you feel when you put your hand on the back of your neck. They do not help the sides of the neck, these are primarily the scalenes. The only way to strengthen those is by sudebending your head. This really isn't advisable unless you are a bodybuilder as the exercises put a great deal of stress on the discs in your neck. Since we're on the subject, I have the problem of occasionally pulling muscles in those areas, side of my neck, etc. Happens randomly, last time I was sitting around basically doing nothing when my neck started to hurt. Goes away after a day or two, but I keep wondering why I'm doing it or if there's anything that can be done to avoid it.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 30, 2009 -> 12:23 PM) Pretty much, and building nukes of their own, which means we'd start doing it again, which means the Russians would be pissed off and probably would overtly help Iran with theirs. All pretty much really bad stuff. But anyone who says the world would be a better place without nuclear weapons is naive.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ May 31, 2009 -> 01:27 PM) Tiller the baby killer was killed himself today in Kansas. Karma is a b****. I would be interested to hear Sebelius's comments. Impressive how tolerant of terrorism you are when it is done to someone who's politics you don't like.

Octavio Dotel is earning his paycheck this season.

Thanks D!

Need. A. K.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 31, 2009 -> 01:02 PM) Danks got screwed by Alexei not being able to see a fly ball with sunglasses on. That was only 1 of those runs.

Decent outing Danks...now go back in, watch some film, and see what you need to get back to where you were a few games ago. Dotel...strike this (Guy) out.

DJ says that's the first error for the Sox in 9 games.

Well, that'll be the lead r un.

Ugh, the leadoff walk. I'd have pulled JD after that.

Ok, now get 1 more run...so that we can take Danks out next inning and he'll still have the chance at the win.

Gwen Ifill gives the counter-point this morning on ABC:

Please keep making these threads. More and more of them have been appearing over the last 2 weeks, and Fields performance has spiked simultaneously. Hell he has a key hit and 2 RBI off of Greinke today. And Viciedo is not even close to ready.

4 runs off Greinke. Ok, I'm impressed. Someone give Greg Walker a raise.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2009 -> 08:28 AM) When fans start talking about large extentions for Sox players early in their careers, this is the big danger right here. That they will have been on steroids?

How dare the DHS issue a report concerning domestic terrorism! This is just an attempt to stifle dissent! Oh, right.

Nice game by lots.

Is Podsednik bunting here?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 30, 2009 -> 06:16 PM) Nice hit by Getz. Fields has no prayer against Cruz. I'll take the walk.

Well, decent day for Getz, see if we can't get him in.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 30, 2009 -> 06:11 PM) I hope Ozzie lets Wise face Juan Cruz here. That went well.

Thome with the swinging bunt...yay.

Ok...based on the previous 2 at bats...JD, time to lay down the bunt.
