BA leading off, interesting

QUOTE (Cubano @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 11:35 AM) I am not being vias guys. It may seem that way for some of you. I have mentioned what happened and what I see. If Viciedo does not do good, then he needs to go to the minors. I have expressed these thoughts before. Let's rewind Viciedo's two AB. First AB: Swing an slider outside the strike zone. He missed a fastball around the middle of the plate. He fouled that pitch. Kuroda threw another slider outside to put him away and he did not bait. That was pitch recognition and making adjustments. He ran the count 2 and 2 or 1 and 2 before flying to short CF. Second AB vs Milton this time. Swang at a low ball for strike one and swang a slightly high fastball for strike three. Guillen said the pitchers do not know him. It goes both ways too. If Beckham will be move to second, why is he playing SS now. Are we going to bring him without playing significant time at 2B and hand him that position? So the Sox critized certain players for having a shaking defense and are willing to bring up a guy with very little experience at 2B. I am assuming this will happen. Yes you are. Your comments(as well as this thread) about Betemit started immediately after joesaiditstrue stated that there is no way that Viciedo makes the club out of spring training in the game thread yesterday.

QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 11:21 AM) Yes and if you werent so clueless you would understand that that makes sense... Hey, we have no Eddie Royal, so there.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 11:06 AM) Thank you. Finally someone with a clue. How will he have time to throw here? Who will he throw to? Freaking Devin Hester and Earl Bennett? Rashied Davis? We can all sit here and play the "what if" game, but until we get real OL and real WR's in here, it won't matter if Tom Brady was our QB. I don't think Coles is the answer to all our problems, but not even an effort to get him? Same thing with Bryant Johnson- you think if we would have offered him a 3-9 contract like Detroit did, he'd be playing there next year? I don't. I think the better question is- if Sanchez, Maclin, and Oher are on the board when we pick, who do we pick? If we somehow get Cutler and Maclin and Oher are on the board, who do we pick? So instead of bringing in a very good QB, we should avoid it because he would have no one to throw to?

I cant believe how much play Betemits SPRING TRAINING errors are getting around here. GMAB, it isnt as if it was a playoff game

QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 09:00 AM) lol. I was hoping the explanation would be more interesting than the tease. Which FIALED. pewnd

Wait, is that "Out indefinitely" status as of today? Yesterday they were reporting all was good and he had a bullpen session with no issues

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 07:04 AM) So how the heck does that make sense for the Sox? Viciedo gets blocked. The Sox add payroll. What the heck happens with Cabrera? I don't buy this stuff for a second. I cant even find that rumor anywhere. The mlbtraderumors site lists Rolen and Overbay as two contracts they would like to move, but they arent connected to the Sox in any OC trade

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 06:42 AM) Well, the inevitable happened...just as Freida Pinto broke up with her fiance, Megan Fox finally dropped poor Brian Austin-Green of 90210 fame. If he had managed to marry her about 2 years ago, he would be set, with all those potential earnings from the Transformers series. It's like the Reese Witherspoon/Ryan Philippe or Jennifer Garner/Scott Foley thing...the law that stars should be very close in "prestige/power" or one will have to leave the other. I dont think BAG was counting on Megan Fox to be his cash cow. And the same for Foley and Phillippe. All three of those guys have made plenty of money on their own

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 09:22 PM) The economic picture and the layoffs at my job have people acting completely out of their minds. When the owner comes around everyone turns into a cut throat, kiss ass, performance monkey. Why not just carry a sign that reads: "I'm the best at everthing, everyone else here sux, please don't lay me off". People have no shame. Its called desperation. And I can tell you as someone who has been laid off and had to go home and tell his wife and daughter, there is no shame in trying to keep your job and insurance that covers your family.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 05:01 PM) Way cool. The closest I have been to a big cat was at Big Bend a few years back. It was on the other side of a notch as we were backpacking. One of the Scouts spotted it. A Mountain Lion or a Jaguar? If it was a Jaguar, according to this article you guys saw something unbelievably rare

In other news, the government is also releasing large jaguars near the border to help with the illegal immigrant problem

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 03:06 PM) Ah yes, old WCW lives on forever. Vince McMahon can buy the league and dissolve it, but he can't buy our memories of it...yet. Oh he already bought the memories. And he is slowly selling them as DVD compilations

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 02:37 PM) When you're a member of soxtalk, you're a member of soxtalk...4 life. nu uh, Wolfpac Soxtalk Viva La Raza!!!!!

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 01:41 PM) I agree that Cutler has too big of a mouth on him, but wouldn't you be pissed if you were on the block after putting up the numbers he did last year for a QB with gigantic question marks surrounding him? Its a business, and he is a commodity. The entire Broncos roster is getting a makeover. People get traded, cut, released every day, and they cannot do a damn thing about it. Now Cutler wants to tell the Broncos that the rest of the team will mutiny if he is traded? The same guy who keeps telling everyone he is better than Elway? Once again. STFU

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 01:46 PM) Conversely, it might be a FIAL if somebody fails to understand the concept of FIAL. If I was the only one, I would agree

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 01:30 PM) FIAL: It is most definitely a FIAL if you have to explain FIAL when you FIAL someone

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 01:13 PM) Guys, the spelling of FIAL was intentional. somehow I knew you would say this

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 01:13 PM) I think this is a Soxtalk record... a guy getting thrown under the bus for two full innings in spring training. This has been a true Real Men of Genius. Congratulations go out to you Mr Sports Drama Queen Based on Minuscule Sample Size. "Mr can't-stand-the-mere-presence-of-pitchers-getting-shelled- in-spring-training guy!"

QUOTE (lostfan @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 12:34 PM) Dotel had a handful of super megafail outings last summer which I think distorts peoples' opinion of him. I did laugh out loud at the quoting of some random messageboard chatter though. a 5 year old quote at that

Jay Cutler just needs to STFU and stop thinking he needs to chime in on everything

Dotel is also supposedly working exclusively on his changeup this spring, so he may get shelled a lot trying to nail it down. I remember in 05 everyone was worried about Contreras during the spring because he was getting shelled, and it turned out he was working on his different forkballs and also trying to stop tipping his pitches. It seemed to work out ok that year

QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 09:08 AM) No. If Loul doesnt have a stress fracture they wont make the playoffs. Did Tom Brady make a mistake by getting married? You crazy. The only place Brady can go from this point is down when it comes to ladies. I mean, he left smokin hot Bridget Moynihan for Gisele. Does KW pull off a surprise trade or signing before ST ends?

No, TO will be cut around June and make a huge stink about it. If Luol Deng does have a stress fracture as rumored, will the Bulls make the playoffs
