  1. QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 31, 2013 -> 09:36 AM) You're an idiot. I NEVER said I'd do it; I just asked if you thought the Sox should consider it. Here's the point (once again)...IF he becomes available and IF at that time he's the best option for the Sox (ALL things considered), I think the Sox might (should) consider signing him. Reading is a skill, people. eye cn red, eym naht stewpit But honestly, I dont even think it should be considered for distraction alone, much less declining skills. But you are sure the Sox suck and their FO sucks, so im not surprised.
  2. Media lead up to the superbowl is so extremely boring
  3. QUOTE (Lillian @ Jan 31, 2013 -> 07:34 AM) Look, we can assume that Viciedo will soon learn to hit RH pitching, and that may be. However, Ethier is a case in point. He still hasn't learned to hit LH pitching, and he's a 31 year old veteran. I just think that this is a viable solution to a glaring offensive deficiency on the Sox roster. You platoon two corner outfielders, maximizing their strengths, you get the left handed presence you need, you fill the hole in the middle of the lineup, and you do so without having to give up anyone whose absence would create another hole. Again, the key would be to move some salary, and Thornton is the best candidate for that. I think that Veal would be a great LOOGY, and the Sox certainly have plenty of LH arms. Didn't the Dodgers express interest in acqiring a LH reliever? You are contrastng a 31 year old veteran and 24 year old 2nd year player as if they have the same skillset on opposite sides of the plate. And as SS2K5 mentioned, Viciedo has shown the ability to adapt and adjust at every level he has been at. Why would you just throw him into a platoon role with a highly paid player that really has no business platooning? If Viciedo has the same year in 2013 that he had in 2012, I will agree that either he has to be moved or platooned, but I am not ready to start kicking dirt over his career based on one season.
  4. QUOTE (Lillian @ Jan 31, 2013 -> 07:20 AM) Well, maybe he ought to rethink that. Here are Viciedo's stats versus RHP last year: AVG .225 OBP .271 SLG .380 Yea, his first full year. So strange that he would struggle, nobody ever does that.
  5. pretty sure Hahn already stated that Viciedo will not be platooning under any circumstances
  6. QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 04:21 PM) I'm suddenly craving boiled deer antlers too lol
  7. QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 04:08 PM) Not unless they're trading Sale and Tank and others, Einstein! I defer to one who knows all. I have changed my mind, we now need A Rod
  8. QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 04:00 PM) No it isn't...but the Sox aren't gonna get Headley or Olt or Moustakas or Beltre, etc. Why thank you for letting me know, Carnac
  9. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 03:50 PM) Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan Miami New Times posted records of Gio Gonzalez with his name/stats written near "pink cream," a synthetic testosterone: Code name: Mexitalian
  10. QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 03:49 PM) How dare you yea that was pretty mean
  11. QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 03:36 PM) Absolutely. I'm pretty sure that he's not playing at all in 2013. What I'm getting at is, if we give Keppinger a full season to see if he can be a useful every day player, and we give Gordo one more season to see if he still sucks, and it turns out that we need to "replace" one or both of them.... Replacing them with a 38 year old once busted recently accused again and breaking down player coming off multiple injury years is not really the best plan.
  12. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 03:33 PM) He's probably not going to be playing until the pennant stretch. At that point, maybe for the minimum, but that would be it. That is assuming he isn't suspended. and also assuming his contract is voided. and assuming that he doesnt need extensive time on a rehab stint to get him back into playing form. Basically, if you are waiting for A Rod to save your season, you are f***ed
  13. QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 03:30 PM) Or if (when) Beckham sucks, then move Keppinger to 2nd, and...? You do know that ARod is most likely missing the season, right? August at the earliest
  14. I dont think it is the Cardio as much as the physical beating. From everything we have been reading, Rose has been working out like a madman, I think his cardio is probably tip top
  15. You are basically asking if we want him next year. No.
  16. QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 02:29 PM) link? JUST TRUST HIM
  17. QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 02:24 PM) Well it'd be more about HHH "needing backup" because of the shield. I get what your saying and can agree with it, I'm not sure theres ever been a survivor series type match at mania. I'm just not sure what they're gonna do with the shield, when are they actually gonna start having some matches? They are booking them to look really strong. I just dont think they want another Nexus situation where they book them really strong for a long time only to have the entire situation unravel as soon as they get beaten once. It took Wade Barrett forever to recover from that, and everyone else is just kind of there. They had to completely rebuild Ryback. You have to think the Shield will start having matches pretty soon. Probably have each guy wrestle solo matches with the other two hanging around outside the ring lumberjack style
  18. QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 12:58 AM) Here's an out there idea....With the new age outlaws working house shows recently could they do a Team Heyman vs Team Vince aka DX? It keeps us from the HHH/Brock redo and it gives us an old stable vs new stable. Vince aligning with DX just seems forced. No offense, but I dont want to see a team vs team concept here. The PPVs and shows with team wrestling matches are the most boring for me. I like the 1 on 1 and 1 against a faction(ie The Shield) type scenarios.

    QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 29, 2013 -> 04:12 PM) He doesn't eat meat. Do they like pizza in great britain?
  20. QUOTE (Jake @ Jan 29, 2013 -> 03:18 PM) Yes. Sweet, sweet profit. The dietary supplement industry is all about what some guy or personal trainer tells you works, and typically these people heard about things the same way. Or they just read the product packaging and called that "research." Here's a recent research review on Deer Antler Velvet on a variety of human uses: Sure, 1 makes it technically illegal though it will be very difficult to prove that he took it. 2 is important because the national media is crucifying this guy for having cheated when he is really just a hoodwinked consumer. This same news media is likely the very reason he ever took it in the first place, because they go crazy when they hear there is some new supplement going around that makes outrageous claims. While the NFL can do what it wants with its rules, we as fans can say "hey, he took something that doesn't work and won't be playing better because of it since it does not work." The reason it can't be tested for is because it isn't changing anything within you enough to actually be indicative of a change. That says enough for me. You keep saying antler velvet. I keep reading antler extract(not velvet, the antler itself). And if the product actually does contain that banned substance, then it seems you are wrong

    2013 TV Thread

    QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 29, 2013 -> 03:16 PM) I think its a little different. Dr Who is considered one of the top 5 British tv shows of all time and one of the reasons that British television has become more accepted in the US over the last 10 years. I have no clue about British television or the viewing habits. I do happen to know that Dr Who and Downton are considered 2 of the best British shows. So there is a reason I mentioned them, its because they are currently battling for top British Drama. no need for breakdown. it was a joke
  22. Do you think that this could get Melky Cabrera additional time suspended?
  23. QUOTE (Jake @ Jan 29, 2013 -> 03:06 PM) It does nothing when taken orally or transdermally. I'm not even sure that it is in Deer Antler Velvet at all, though I don't recall that specifically. But yes, it sounds like a big deal. That's how they make you want to buy it, too. So you are saying that this guy is selling Lewis a under-the-tongue spray that doesnt work?
