QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 05:58 PM) Can't honor Jackson because he's banned from baseball. That's bulls***.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 09:01 PM) Positions. B=Batter or DH. Wow, I don't know how I didn't figure out the numbers.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 08:23 PM) Time to put the pedal to the metal. My preferred lineup tomorrow: 7 Pierre 4 Beckham B Ramirez 3 Konerko 9 Teahen 8 Rios 2 AJ 6 Ramirez 5 Vizquel What are the random numbers and one letter for?

I wonder why they don't have a statue of Appling or Shoeless Joe.

Freddy really is money in big games. I don't know how he does it, to be honest. Great win, except that Threets thing.

Come on, does anyone doubt that baseball's darling (Hamilton) will win the MVP?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:47 PM) Coolest sand sculpture ever. Awesome.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:00 PM) it wasn't against the rules. how about all the players of the past who used greenies before a game? better build a big fire to burn all those sox jerseys. Can we throw some records on that fire?

QUOTE (almagest @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:50 PM) I hope Manny comes here, gives the entire team steroids, and they all start ripping bombs off kids' heads on the Fundamentals deck. This made me laugh out loud at my desk.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:46 PM) I still despise Manny for being the quitter and cheater he is, but boy will his bat look good in the Sox lineup for the next month or so. I'm a little torn, but as long as its just this month, I'm happy. Please do not bring him back for 2011, especially with his age and injury history of late (in addition to the aforementioned scuzziness). There is very little left in this baseball season, so I don't anticipate Manny pulling any crap in his time here. I do hate him, though.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:37 AM) Why was the game thread so short? I know people weren't at the game looking at the crowd Anyway great team win, Jax = STUD. I was there. First time that I drank on a weekday in a long, long time. I'm feeling it today.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 26, 2010 -> 02:34 PM) No doubt. The 2 hole is more like a black hole for this offense. For most, it's a brown hole.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 12:38 PM) This is true. I honestly don't know how you do it. I may never have gone a day in my life without eating meat (easy joke right there). I've even seen a kill floor in action, and ate a cheeseburger later that day. I may just be a sociopath.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 07:11 AM) Was thinking about doing a vegan blog focusing on food, men's fashion, news, and maybe even some sports. Lets face it. There aren't a ton of vegan men out there in the world and I want some of them to have an outlet and see that people like me exist. And we're not all a bunch of pine cone eating hippies. The Discerning Brute is a bit of an inspiration but he focuses primarily on fashion most of the time. And if qwerty and Kalapse come up with a baseball blog the world would become a better place. That's because they become women once they turn vegan.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 26, 2010 -> 09:06 AM) There is something to Hawk's theory that bullpen plays a huge role in today's game. Hawk's theory? Who the hell doesn't have that theory?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 26, 2010 -> 07:22 AM) Jones actually could be pretty useful if he would alter his approach and stop trying to hit everything 1000 feet. When he's willing to go to right center he hits a lot more homers and gets on base a lot more It's crazy to think about all of the complaining we have done over the last few seasons about guys who only swing for the fences. That was, of course, hyperbole. Now that we have Andruw Jones here, I feel silly for having complained about anyone else being all-or-nothing. I hate when people use the word "literally" incorrectly, but I can't help it in this situation. Andruw Jones literally swings for the fences in every AB.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 07:45 PM) Do you know how many fellow posters have been reprimanded/warned exactly like you were that do not say a word about it on this board at all? I couldnt even count them, yet you constantly bring it up like your heart is so wounded by it. Get over it, I was warned back when I was a normal poster for doing something stupid and I learned from it and moved on and didnt do it again. Aha, the truth comes out. You and all of the other moderators do think you're better than the rest of us.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 04:46 PM) I didn't really see that at all. I saw Harrell as lucky that he had a ball that wasn't two feet up the middle. I don't get why you think it was so similar, anyway. Torres gave up more than twice as many hits as Harrell did.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 11:31 AM) Haha, you're upset about this but not upset about Ozzie telling the fans to stop watching the f'n games if they don't like his decisions? Wow, he walked right into that one.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 10:27 AM) It seems to me like Harrell was an awesome Alexei play from having pretty much the same line as Torres. Harrell 6IP 1ER 4H 5BB 1WP 1.5WHIP Torres 6IP 5ER 9H 5BB 2.33WHIP This is one of those situations where you can actually see the difference, though. Harrell didn't seem to be scared, whereas I'm pretty sure I saw a pee stain on Torres' pants.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 23, 2010 -> 05:53 PM) Ah, yes, the typical senile old man post. Yes, greg, I'm terribly afraid that 5'11 slap hitting ex-MLB player in his late 40s would viciously beat the s*** out of me. Greg, you're a wonderful poster because your posts, without fail, always reach a level of pure, crystallized stupidity and ignorance that one simply has to admire. Someone who calls a well known journalist a homophobic slur is not a smart person. Someone who criticizes his indirect source of income by telling them to go f*** themselves and to not spend money on his team is not a smart person. Someone who lets his spoiled brat of a kid badmouth his boss is not a smart person. While I don't expect to have a conversation with Ozzie about Kant's categorical imperative, I would expect Ozzie to rise above his current conversational level, which can only be described as Highlights for Kids with profanities.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 23, 2010 -> 10:50 AM) Its funny how many people who complain about Hawk complaining about the same thing over and over again... Ironic, don't you think? Oh yeah, it's definitely the same thing.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 23, 2010 -> 01:23 PM) The pitching has sucked this year. There's no DH out there or ever will be to conquer that. It's not easy to manage in the big leagues when your pitching sucks. I know it's hard for some people to grasp that the season was lost coming out of the gate because of pitching and now the only way for Sox to win games is if games are 6 innings. Since we like to get in the habit of blaming coaches, maybe Coop is no longer useful. I love when people make posts like this, basically calling everyone idiots.

Ozzie Guillen better learn how to put a trap on his piece-of-s*** kids' mouths.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 06:38 PM) Honestly, we should all be fortunate enough that they gave us 6-7 great weeks of outstanding ball. This team could very well be a 4th or 5th place team right now, and we would have stopped watching 2 months ago, but I am glad they at least gave us reason to watch. I feel like since our insane run, we have been playing with house money. I don't agree with this logic at all. Sure, I thoroughly enjoyed that run, but it doesn't make up for yet another disappointing season.
