QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 12:50 PM) There was no pinch hitter because the Sox have no one who can play 3b respectably. If they put in Fields TB starts bunting and trying to abuse him. A lot of the Sox problems stem from managing and roster decisions, how they have no one else who can play 3b defensively is a joke. Fields is also half hurt, he's scheduled for knee surgery at the end of the season

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 12:37 PM) Sox dont pay all of Javy's contract. Yankees pay some, AZ pay some. But I dont know the exact numbers, im pretty sure that Kalapse knows them haha That was for Javy's last contract. We've extended him since then.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 10:46 AM) If I were Biden, I'd have this little quip ready to go after Palin's first sarcastic "attack with a smile" comment: "So, which of McCain's lobbyist campaign staffers fed you that line before you came out here today?" I'm sorry, that'd just be an incredibly stupid insult. Whether she's prepared or not, at some level you have to treat your opponent with some measure of respect just on the grounds that they're there.

Javy, 8 more innings, Exactly like that.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 11:37 AM) I was waiting for you to say that. I was at the gym...had to time it so I was back in my chair now.

Give em Jell, Havy.

QUOTE (scenario @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 07:50 AM) I don't see either being in the Twins budget. They save their "real" money for fan favorites. If the Twins have this kind of money to spend, they could do better than spending it on Cabrera. He'd be helpful to them in the near term, but He's just not going to be worth the kind of money some team is going to give him. The Twins got good with their formula of developing young players, keeping them around as long as they can, and then moving them in intelligent trades before they hit FA. There might be other guys out there who'd fit their style of play, but that's not how their system has worked.

Definitely relaxed. Honestly, I'm just happy to be here. Once God went down, I didn't think we had the team to get here.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 07:48 AM) pax is worthless. He's terrible and needs to go... What better option did he have here? JR says "No luxury tax". Gordon says "Give me more money". Neither one of those is an option.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 08:04 AM) The day I turned 21. Then I had no birthdays to look forward to anymore. at 25 your car insurance rates go down.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 07:03 AM) Does everyone just have me on ignore?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 08:55 AM) But now that we have tacked on another $150 billion in spending its OK, right? Hey, I like the renewable energy tax cuts being renewed, you should like the AMT reform...everyone's happy right? Now shut up and let us give these banks your money.

Since we're all making policy decisions based on the dow now, I conclude that the large drop this morning suggests that they don't want a bailout now that the Senate has passed it, and we should all just drop that silly idea.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 08:24 PM) Javy needs to pitch six supurb innings, preferably seven. Javy to Thornton to Jenks would be ideal. Javy to Linebrink to Thornton to Jenks would be OK as well. Frankly, I don't really care if the innings are "Superb". We need to win 1 game in Tampa. I want him to keep it close enough that if the offense has a solid game we're in it, and I'd like him to keep it close enough that we don't take him out before he throws 115 pitches.

QUOTE (tommy @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 06:57 PM) Am I the only one surprised that Javy is starting game 1 and Gavin is in the pen? Simple fact is, Javy is on normal rest, and everyone else pitched their tail ends off on 3 days rest already this week and 2x in the past 15 days or so. The rotation sets up well with everyone on normal rest or even extra rest if we give Javy game 1 and roll the dice on him putting up a decent game on the road.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 07:31 PM) That's not as bad as it was being portrayed. I was hearing that she couldn't name ANY landmark Supreme Court cases like Marbury v Madison, Brown v Board of Education, etc. Asking for decisions you don't like is tougher to answer. Dred Scott comes to mind. She also spoke out about the decision earlier this year on the Exxon Valdez.

Come on Blue, work the count...

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 03:22 PM) I agree. I don't know why Ozzie is so infatuated with Wise as a starter. He is not hitting and his defense is not great by an means. I would think Swisher deserves to be in LF since CQ is out. Speed.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 03:28 PM) "This place gets more beautiful everytime I come here." Drool, drool. "Ow, what just fell on me?"

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 03:26 PM) Ethier chases ball 6 in that at bat. Eh, Gameday makes 2 of them look like they'd have been strikes

61 pitches for Dempster through 3. Come on Dodgers, you can't let a guy off the hook when they're throwing that many pitches early

At least Martin didn't GIDP.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 03:17 PM) Bases loaded, Manny waiting on deck. Assuming you and I are watching the same game I don't think there's a runner on 3rd.

Oh bloody hell.

Danks will be on normal rest in Game 3 that way. Floyd, they must want to give him an extra couple days after going repeatedly on 3 days rest.
