QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 2, 2009 -> 11:07 AM) That AB would have killed the Hawk if it was against the Sox... Kung Fu Panda dropped a catachable foul ball then on 2-2 there was an extremely close pitch (ESPN's gimmick said it was a strike) that was called a ball. Who?

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jul 2, 2009 -> 05:25 AM) Having lived through the rotating 5th starter years, I see a spot for him. You need to be 6 deep, if possible, and a couple of those will be veterans. A few years back we kept bringing guys up to pitch 3 innings and give up 10 runs. Man, those were just brutal outings. No offense, but who hasn't? It was only a few years ago.

QUOTE (dbaho @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 11:58 PM) Ever since Ramon Castro has become his personal catcher also, he's pitched very well. The Castro trade could turn out to be one of KW's most underrated trades when it's all said and done. At the end of the season, I think you look at giving him a 1 year deal if the price is right and you think he can hold up for another season, but with the payroll flexibility that KW is going to have, I think he'll look for an upgrade first. I'm not sure there are any upgrades out there. I think we should definitely sign him for another year, depending on how he finishes out this year. If there is a sure upgrade out there, we should go for it. And if not, we should sign Castro even if he asks for a little too much. We should have the money either way. And with Contreras, I'll trust the organization to make the right move. There doesn't seem to be too much pitching talent out there in free agency (and the top guys always sign somewhere else for bigger money). So, if they feel that Contreras has another decent year in him and the prospects aren't exactly ready, then they should give him a one-year deal. This, of course, also depends on how he finishes out the year.

As much as I like to hate everything Hawk says, I believe he was spot on yesterday. He was talking about this poll and saying that it says a lot about the players today, basically how they're p*****s and care more about personal stats than winning. EDIT: Censored myself before someone else has to do it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 09:54 PM) Its bad, but anymore because of the complete lack of control and accountability in MLB, I just assume all of these top guys are guilty until proven innocent, Pujols included. Agreed.

They're making it 10 categories now? That's stupid. I would prefer a movie or two to get snubbed each year than to have a few completely undeserving movies get nominated each time. Also, RIP Karl Malden. I think he deserves some attention amidst all of the crying for a scumbag pedophile.

Holy crap, whoever said Karl Malden was right. He died at some point yesterday. A great actor, RIP.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 08:53 PM) I love our lineup against LHP. People don't realize is demolishing lefties this season, batting over .400 against them. Who is?

Defecting from Cuba doesn't seem as hard as it once was.

QUOTE (sircaffey @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 06:09 PM) The testing is strong enough that anyone juicing will be caught. There is off-season testing as well. If he's not on the list from 2003, we'll likely never know what he did in years past. But he's clean now, and he's a freak so he obviously doesn't need any serious PEDs. Steroids are ahead of the game when it comes to testing. Players can be on a drug that the testers don't even know about yet, plus there's HGH. They don't even test for that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 07:42 PM) You ever see the week he was the guest host on Jimmy Kimmel? No, I hardly ever watch the late night shows, especially in the last 6 or 7 years.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 05:20 PM) They don't test for HGH yet, and there are other substances as well. I truly hope he's clean, but he came into the game at a time when the PED's were so rampant, so he had to be exposed to it constantly. Wouldn't be surprised if Edmonds and other former teammates show upon that 2004 list. Of course, this is all speculation, not accusation. Sadly, its a fine line in the present environment. Albert is probably the most consistent hitter I've ever seen. He has the shortest "slumps", if you can even ever call them that. NO WAY!

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 04:51 PM) Maybe it was the music, but the last trailer didn't entertain me too much. Hmm, only 60% at RT. I'm not sure where the hype is coming from, to be honest. I want to see it, but three people I know saw it at midnight. I don't want to see it that badly. It looks good, but it certainly doesn't look like it's that great.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 05:12 PM) I'm sure that with the hearing aid, you can hear just as well as most people, I get your point, but hearing IS a huge part of driving. I have a bad habit of driving with the music on full blast and have almost been nailed by cops, ambulances or fire trucks numerous times cuz I didn't see or hear them coming. Bikers keep their bikes loud because drivers don't always see them in their blind spots, this way, they at least hear the rumble and look around. I've seen the studies he mentioned. They are statistically better drivers.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 04:52 PM) Either tattoo "I was the original Galifianakis fan" on your head or get over it. I'd never seen him in anything before The Hangover, and don't think he's the funniest person on the planet, but I am excited for him in this show. You can either get upset about it or embrace it because it means there will be a lot more of him around. Don't take it personally, jeez.

Blasphemy, Jordan!

I believe it's actually called surprise sex.

I have been a fan of Zach Galifianakis for years and I hope he has lots of success, but it is going to really bother me to see a bunch of people suddenly jump on his bandwagon and annoint him the funniest guy ever (and he is easily one of the funniest) simply based on The Hangover.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 03:59 PM) AH... Well, now it makes sense. So non-married women and gay men. All non-married women like doing that? I don't think so, but I wish. They're more likely to do it, though, I'd say. And either way, I'll be picking up chicks at Burger King very soon if you guys turn out to be right.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 29, 2009 -> 08:45 PM) After that HBP that Ramirez suffered, they might put Beckham in the 2 hole for a few days and put Nix in the 8 spot at SS. How bad was it?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 28, 2009 -> 11:14 PM) I know the Cubs ownership situation has been a hot topic in Chicago, but I think it's settled in that John Danks is the true owner of the Chicago Cubs. Just a great job all around today by the Sox, but especially by him. Ha.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 28, 2009 -> 08:59 PM) Did he de-mask Rey yet? Its going to happen again. Rey got stale, thats all they have left for him now. They have played his giant killer role to death Mysterio has bored the hell out of me for like five years now. He does the same three moves all match, and as you said, the giant killer is stale.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jun 28, 2009 -> 06:21 PM) John Goodman Amy Winehouse Matthew McCounahey (ab infection) I really hope not.

This hit me harder than Michael Jackson's passing. Honestly.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 08:03 PM) I like how we dealt Corky for a guy whose last name is a synonym for toilet. The Reds' fascination with AAAA Sox players continues. Hopper is a synonym for toilet?
