Big Hurtin

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 09:36 AM) Santos is going to be just fine. He's left some fastballs up that have been hit hard. Yesterday, he couldn't throw the slider for a strike and was leaving the fastball up. He's going to have an outing like that once in a while. I'll bet he bounces back and converts his next 15 opportunities. I watched his outing against the Red Sox and it was not an arm strength issue. His fastball was consistently 95, he just couldn't locate it. His slider was worse. I don't think he even had any swings at one.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 6, 2012 -> 02:49 PM) Contreras is the trivia answer. I had no idea he told KW that if Alexei didn't work out, he'd pay his salary. It would never have happened, but the Count is a huge reason the Sox signed Ramirez. I was thinking Loiza, who got us Contreras.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 04:41 PM) Hawk won't mention Carl Yastremski's name even once during a live broadcast all year Of all the crazy predictions in this thread, THAT's surely the boldest.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 06:46 PM) Sox trade for Ichiro at deadline. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 06:52 PM) Three years too late. More like three years too early, considering Kenny's track record.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Mar 14, 2012 -> 05:25 PM) I like the slogan. ANYTHING would be better than All In, which I thought sounded stupid from the very beginning. They could have kept the poker terminology and gone with "Drawing Dead"

That's not J4L?

QUOTE (wysiwyg @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 11:34 PM) Gotta go with Richard Dotson. This guy?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Feb 29, 2012 -> 02:20 PM) You havin' a laugh? I don't get it.

I think the Tigers run away with the division, 10+ games by the time it's said and done.

Has anyone else seen the preview for the next Mac OS, Mountain Lion. I'm not sure how I feel about the continued immersion of IOS and Mac OS. http://www.apple.com/macosx/mountain-lion/

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 9, 2012 -> 03:22 PM) She asks for $900 trillion, they counter with free coffee for life from Java World. Case closed. She didn't hear the plus?!

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 25, 2012 -> 05:05 PM) I am truly afraid of these as throwbacks: http://shop.mlb.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4234826 With the shorts?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 09:27 AM) No Balta yet? Rumor is Perry is dropping out. Is Tex alright?

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jan 15, 2012 -> 03:14 PM) I agree, Guillen is a 110% talk too. They both are, but only one is still on the White Sox payroll. Ozzie is yesterday's news.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 14, 2012 -> 08:59 PM) Jake's trying to make us like him again http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,4465371.story If Peavy wants me to like him, he can start by pitching 7+ quality innings.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 9, 2012 -> 10:47 AM) Blue Jays DFA Mark Teahen. I have to admit, if he never played for the Sox in the past, I'd say he's a perfect fit now. Sox need a 3B/1B lefty bat with some pop. Maybe he'll go to Miami.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 6, 2012 -> 04:32 AM) Ok, I see the 20111 thread was closed. I couldn't find a mirror thread to that one. SO I ask you soxtalk. why is giving birth considered an accomplishment? Like people say congratulations. why? I mean, i can get with, wow, you have a beautiful daughter or son or whatever. that's fine. but people treat you like a prince or princess for a while. I mean, when you graduate college or something. now that's an accomplishment. not everybody does. anybody can have a kid or kids. I don't see the sense of "wow, look what i just did. i had a baby." yawn. now to raise it well, that's an accomplishment. but to initally have it. no, that's nothing. that's like a juan pierre single. anybody can do that. thank you for your timer. Reminds me of this Bill Hicks bit Warning, language

Don't know if anyone else watches it, but I'm looking forward to the 2nd season of The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret.

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 19, 2011 -> 02:32 PM) I haven't had a moment to read the article yet.... Does he admit that he beat Michael Tito and LaToya? No, he was Steppin Out

It that good or bad as far as North Korea goes? Is it going to be more of the same with his succesor?

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Dec 14, 2011 -> 09:26 PM) More importantly, I'm pretty sure part of the deal was that Paul agrees to pick up his option so they'd have him for at least two years. I didn't realize there was an option year. At least it's not a shortened season rental.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 14, 2011 -> 09:19 PM) They have a huge built in advantage on signing him, not only the city, but the CBA let's them offer like $25 mil more than anyone else can next offseason. The city doesn't matter. People go to LA to play for the Lakers, not because it's LA. Nobody cares about the Clippers. He'll leave and when his contract comes due, Griffin will leave.
