Big Hurtin

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Dec 1, 2007 -> 05:43 PM) I still don't know why the Mets aren't going after Santana harder. Do the Mets even have anything close to what the Yankees and Red Sox are offering? This is an honest question. I'm not familiar with their farm system.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 20, 2007 -> 10:41 PM) So if a team doesn't play their best, it's considered choking? Not their best, no. Stinking up the joint, quite probable. Bottom line, Cleveland had 3 chances to win 1 game. The Red Sox had 1 chance to win 3 games. It's funny, the Cubs seem to be the only team that's "allowed" to choke.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 20, 2007 -> 10:27 PM) WTF are you talking about? I don't even have a clue what you're trying to get at at this point, other than the sports radio caller mentality of, "THEY'RE CHOKING!". It's not choking, it's losing a baseball game to a f***ing damn good team. I thought Cleveland was a " f***ing damn good team" too, no? They aren't playing their best. My eyes tell me they came out playing tight. This is where sports debates cannot be won because it cannot be quantified. If you think sports are played in a vacuum and emotion never enters into it then I don't know what to say.

If it's not a choke job, then they aren't that good. You can't have it both ways. 10 to 1 after 4 innings is hardly a marginal difference.

Ozzie was right on the mark about those guys.

It looks like he's pitching scared. Maybe it's that he doesn't have his stuff, but he's nibbling. You can't do that, especially with Boston.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Oct 20, 2007 -> 09:00 PM) Right. They've got no killer instinct and the Red Sox do. They will not win this series. Also, Ryan Garko is an idiot.

Cleveland's all done. They got their collective tails firmly between their legs. Bent right over for Boston, no fight whatsoever.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Oct 20, 2007 -> 10:33 AM) Well, I've never heard Babe Ruth described as "Clutch" have you? I'd say there's a better chance of Babe Ruth signing with the White Sox than ARod.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 17, 2007 -> 12:13 AM) LOL give me a f***ing break. Yeah Manny is a douche, but if you throw at him he'll just homer the next 2 times he faces you and stare and watch it leave both times. It's the same thing as the Chad Johnson stuff, if you don't want to see it, don't let him do well. So you're saying that you never see batters show up pitchers, then subsequently get hit / brushed back? I'm not saying that it would stop him from being a "douche", but that I'm surprised it doesn't happen.

QUOTE(max power @ Oct 16, 2007 -> 10:35 PM) lol at manny being manny(a dumbass s***bird). He hits a solo shot and throws his hands up like he won the world series with a walkoff at fenway. Someone needs to get him back to reality, down 4 runs in game 4 of a series you are trailing 2-1. I cannot for the life of me understand why no one knocks him down. He does that crap all the time. He's lucky he never played against someone like Don Drysdale.

QUOTE(Brian @ Oct 15, 2007 -> 08:37 PM) Westbrook getting squeezed yet still in control. 14 of the 15 outs have been ground balls. Yikes. Shocking

QUOTE(Brian @ Oct 8, 2007 -> 11:51 PM) Get Kornheiser off these games. It's a terrible rule to call a timeout to ice the kicker? What a douche! I agree with him on this. It's not about icing the kicker. Icing the kicker is calling a timeout to make them think about it a little bit. Now coaches wait till the last millisecond so the other team ends up kicking twice. It's getting really old. They need to take control of this.

QUOTE(Big Hurtin @ Oct 7, 2007 -> 12:57 AM) That SHOULD be a GREAT series. Also, since the wild card and divisional series started, have there ever been 4 sweeps in that round? According to ESPN, this was the first time the national league swept the divisional series round, so that answers that.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Oct 7, 2007 -> 12:39 AM) I think some people forgot there was a game on today. Rockies are 3 outs away from advancing to the NLCS. Rockies-D-Backs matchup should be quite interesting. That SHOULD be a GREAT series. Also, since the wild card and divisional series started, have there ever been 4 sweeps in that round?

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Sep 29, 2007 -> 09:06 PM) something i noticed. With the exception of "mac is a serial killer" episode they had online, I haven't seen the waitress in any episode this season. She was there in the dumpster baby episode. She's the one who called child services after Charlie accused her and Frank of leaving his brother in the dumpster.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 11:30 PM) Two game threads would be the solution. Three would be better, for those who aren't sure one way or the other.

It feels like I walked into the middle of the opposite sketches.

NE safety Rodney Harrison got 4 game suspension for HGH. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/20...419868421_x.htm

QUOTE(vandy125 @ Aug 31, 2007 -> 12:23 PM) Why? Not saying I agree with using a message board to send out this type of message (should be a one-on-one conversation IMO), but why? "Fear God"is not an argumentative statement?

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Aug 31, 2007 -> 12:17 PM) Doesn't the original post openly attack the religious beliefs of others? Irreverence is another person's disrespect to your god; there isn't any word that tells what your disrespect to his god is. Mark Twain The Mysterious Stranger

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 31, 2007 -> 12:08 PM) If you start a thread with the title "Fear God" then you should expect someone to poke fun. Exactly.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 08:54 PM) Leo Mazzone is doing a heckuva job over there! He musta been rockin' like a mofo.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Aug 15, 2007 -> 01:51 PM) Billy Krystal was just there and he said that things are getting better! Did he say it looked mahvelous?
