In the event of a rebuild, stop comparing the Sox
Kyyle23 replied to KPBears's topic in Pale Hose Talk
QUOTE (KPBears @ May 16, 2013 -> 12:16 AM) Pods was better in 2005 (particularly the first half) than Viciedo will ever be. I know it's cool to bash Podsednik on this site, but the Sox wouldn't have won the division, let alone the Series, without him. He slowed down with injuries in the second half, but in the first half he was hitting around .300, collecting a fair amount of walks, and stealing bases at a pace not seen since guys like Henderson, Raines and Coleman back in the 80's. I agree with quite a bit of the Sabremetrics approach, and I'm a huge on-base guy. But there are some intangibles that can't be measured, and a leadoff hitter who can get on base regularly and is a threat to steal every time on base gets in most pitchers heads, and makes things easier for the rest of the lineup. Sorry for the rant, but I will never understand why so many Sox fans hate on Pods. Kind of hard to make that definitive statement when Viciedo has only played 2 years in the majors total -

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 15, 2013 -> 08:18 PM) Ref 25 just came in and basically told the other refs to call a flagrant. If you rewind you can read his lips. Of course, the freight train known as lebron acted like he was hit with a lead pipe

The refs are ridiculous with the techs

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 15, 2013 -> 02:32 PM) I got suckered into watching the Chaperone on cable the other night by its description. What a god awful steaming pile of s*** that was. If anyone thinks about watching it, kick yourself in the nuts. It is less painful. Is that the HHH movie?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 15, 2013 -> 01:38 PM) Twins' announcers now bemoaning the fact they don't have a prototypical leadoff hitter like Rickey Henderson, lol. Well, Revere and Span weren't bad at all, but they got too expensive...and they also felt Hicks had more potential, but, this one game against the Sox notwithstanding, seems he was rushed a bit and might eventually go down to AAA. Span I will give you, but Revere wasnt expensive. The guy has only been in the majors a few years, they had a few arb years left, FA in 2018. he is only making 515K right now -

It isnt as if Rizzo has a Soriano albatross contract. It is a long contract, and he is paid well but not outlandish. It will most likely work out for both sides

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ May 14, 2013 -> 03:10 PM) Part of the theme of that movie was...yeah you can. And she's not really being promoted. Her character was a princess, in a movie owned by Disney. I think that makes her a Disney Princess. They are having a celebration to add her to the official list of Princesses, which is why they did the change. So essentially she is being "promoted"

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 14, 2013 -> 11:00 AM) It's more of an issue for girls since women are much more likely to be judged on their looks and attractiveness by society than a man. That recent incident with the Miami fan giving Noah the finger is a good example. She was called a dog, ugly, etc., her looks were a primary part of the story, but that probably wouldn't have been the same for a man. I dunno why Disney decided to sex-up this character. Wasn't she supposed to be all woodsy and not super-feminine in that movie? Just seems like an odd move for the character more than anything. Not only that, but the movie is only a year old. It isnt like they are updating snow white or sleeping beauty to look more modern. It is weird. I think some of it has to do with the heat between disney and the director that got fired right before the movie came out. She is especially pissed about it.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 14, 2013 -> 10:15 AM) Well did you see the jacket he wore the other day to the post game presser? That was far worse, imo i did, it was pretty awful. Whatever, hopefully we get a star that believes in style at some point

i know it is a game for them to come up with the most ridiculous style ever for walking in and for postgame, but damn, Wade wins. He must have had to tuck his balls under his lungs to make that fit

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 13, 2013 -> 06:44 PM) I don't think Chase Utley make them a playoff team next year. 3 years for a 36 year-old middle infielder would trouble me. not only 36, but often injured. No thanks on Chase

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 13, 2013 -> 03:41 PM) Just talked to a friend who mentioned going to it, sounds awesome. He mentioned that most of the vendors were filling the glasses all the way up instead of the 2 oz they were supposed to pour. I will definitely try to go next year. Yea, and we were only supposed to get a certain amount of tastes, they marked off sample squares on a little book we carried around. Most of the vendors didnt care about doing that either.
