Time for someone to post the nancy kerrigan video of her screaming "Why?!?!? Why Me?!?!!?"

ESPN just annoys me anymore. I cant stand their national programming, Cowherd grates on me

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 10:34 AM) Looks like it is going to be a fun year around here. Excuse me while I shuffle over to the general baseball section and post why Prince Fielder should be released. The Sox should have just signed John Smoltz and been done with it. He is a tremendous athlete, great hockey player, even better golfer. As far as fielding bunts....well short of the uber athletic Greg Maddux, there was none better. Wasnt Glavine the hockey player?

I like the high sock look too. But i think it is completely irrelevant to what an umpire uses to judge the strikezone

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 08:51 AM) So has anyone said if Colon was actually "pitching" yesterday? Was he featuring all of his pitches or just working on one? Was he throwing his fastball in the 90's or in the 80's? Was he using his out pitches? why is this relevant? Colon is fat, and therefore, bad. try and keep up

QUOTE (qwerty @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 08:28 AM) I predict greg775 and elrockinMT gloat about how foolish the sox were for ''letting'' crede go when he gets his first hit for the twins. I know the saying is there is no such thing as a sure bet... but... why dont you predict that the sun will rise tomorrow.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 07:44 AM) I was truly trying to hold back, but you made me. The heaviest cy young winner in history... by a decent margain too.. Only the second fastest in major league baseball history to record 100 saves (187 games) to kaz sasaki (160 games). There are fat pitchers that suck just like there are skinny pitchers that suck. David Wells made quite a career out of being fat as well(minus his time with the Sox of course).

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 02:13 AM) These fat pitchers are a joke. They should be forced to get in shape before they step on a big league mound. I wonder if they'll bunt him out of the league like they did poor Wilbur Wood. Yeah, CC Sabathia is a joke

Did he dress like he just walked out of the Blue Oyster and have 80's sunglasses and an awesome mullet?

QUOTE (qwerty @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 02:47 AM) Ya, logan is the first lefty out of the pen. LOL

QUOTE (Cali @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 02:38 AM) They do a better pumpkins impression now, than the actual pumpkins right now... Is the leaked album good?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 06:44 PM) It means his mental state is affecting his pitching performance. I don’t think this is exactly like Greinke: Zach was just horribly depressed, and had to change his pitching/life style to cope, Willis has just let his poor performance shake his confidence to the core. He just took time away from the game to get his head straight. He was so young when he got to the majors, and it really wore on him to be losing as much as he the royals have lost while he has been there. he didnt change anything about his pitching

I dont want VDN fired. I thought he was close to getting fired a few months ago, but I dont and did not want him fired. Im glad there was a reason that Salmons wasnt playing, but the reason I said what I said was because there have been times this season when certain players(Rose, Gordon, Deng) have sat for long periods during games where their scoring and floor presence was required at that certain time. Those times have certainly started to disappear, and VDN is starting to put together a normal rotation which is really nice to see.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 06:17 PM) So Rowand wasn't decent? And before Pods, the last one I can THINK of was maybe Tim Raines. Other than that I can't think of a single person. Raines was the left fielder while with the Sox, Lance Johnson was always the CF. Mike Cameron, Aaron Rowand, Singleton had a nice year(one year), I think Dave Martinez was the CF for a while, Kenny Lofton was here for a minute. there have been good CFers that passed through, and players who had a good year in center for the Sox. Its just a glaring need right now

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 04:03 PM) I put the over/under for that at around 2 months. i give it May 15th. If Wise hits the way we all know he will, ozzie will get him out of there just like he did Swisher, but Wise wont get as much leeway as Swisher did because he doesnt have the respect that Swisher HAD at the time he was named leadoff CF. I think BA comes in more and more late in April and ends up being the 9 hitter while Getz leads off. JMO

The Post-Owens era Begins......

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 01:05 PM) So how many games before Getz is moved to the leadoff spot? How many games til opening day?

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 12:56 PM) I never thought they'd cut Owens and keep a 31 year old AAAA player. He must have really been terrible The numbers speak for themselves. I dont think Owens had an extra base hit all spring training, and he was thrown out stealing in something like 6 of his first 7 attempts

So you are saying that he hangs with all of these HOF caliber players. But he shouldnt be HOF? Strange

QUOTE (earthshiner @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 07:29 AM) Off the top of my head, there are too many other pitchers from this era that were better than him so I gotta say no. Maybe down the road. Please name all of these pitchers off the top of your head.

Salmons not playing in the 4th and in OT was just critical. VDN just baffles me sometimes

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 29, 2009 -> 03:32 PM) Spoilers guys... I guess. These characters, and most of the scenes we mentioned are in the trailers. I will edit anything with spoiler tags that isnt on a trailer though

QUOTE (everafan @ Mar 29, 2009 -> 03:38 PM) Lillibridge could end up getting some ABs in CF This is true, and Welcome to Soxtalk!

QUOTE (Cubano @ Mar 29, 2009 -> 03:33 PM) If we judge Viciedo 231 average as not being ready, then we should do the same with any player in disregard of any position. I understand the reasoning about giving a player (Viciedo) a chance to play everyday in the minors as oppose as sitting in the bench. I preferred him to back up at 3B, RF and DH in the majors 3 times a week as oppose as being in the minors. I am sure I am in the minority with this view. That just isnt enough for Viciedo, and you should know that. You should want Viciedo getting as many at bats a game as possible, not spot starting and defensive subbing in garbage time. You cannot judge players in a vacuum like that. Viciedo is being judged on a multitude of different things and has had a completely different route to the majors, and he should be judged under these variables. The was determined to be not ready at this time, and the team wants him to focus on one position and solidy himself in this position without having to worry about 2 other positions, plus not having consistent at bats. I dont understand why you would want to put him in a platoon position in the majors, I could just see that completely ruining him
