QUOTE(Felix @ May 14, 2006 -> 10:38 AM) Come on, don't you understand? He's not on the Sox anymore. He sucks. Thanks Hawk

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 14, 2006 -> 10:33 AM) 40 million? What the f***? What, you think Brown didnt know the mess he was stepping into when he got there? That man went to NY to get PAID, plain and simple. And he knew if he was going to be made the scapegoat, which Dolan and Thomas have been doing for a while, he was going to get PAID some more to go away.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 14, 2006 -> 10:29 AM) Defend his post season play all you want but I honestly cannot remember 1 play he made in the entire postseason that was memorable. Oh wait scratch that...he did have a cool look of disbelief on Pods' walkoff. Alright, keep hating on him. thats fine. "I honestly cant remember...." works way better than actual statistics, right? /green

Does "relucantly compliant" translate into "crying like a helpless baby who had to be dragged to the plane."?

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ May 14, 2006 -> 10:19 AM) They need to suck next year so we can get Greg Oden OMG that would be great. Even if it isnt Oden, just to be able to switch picks to a lottery pick next year would be great. With Thomas at the helm, I think that would be probable more than possible.

QUOTE(Felix @ May 14, 2006 -> 10:18 AM) I agree with you, but he wasn't at his best in the postseason. He did have 2 blunders on the paths IIRC (I can't remember if he was waved by Cora home for that one play, if so, I only remember one other). No, im not going to say he was at his best. I just dont understand why some people feel it is irritating to give him props now since he is on the Phillies. He is playing damn good baseball right now, and there isnt anything wrong with talking about it. Even if it is 5 threads going on 10.

Somebody put some mittens on those sharp little fingers! She is scratching up her beautiful face! She looks great Kap, all that hair and eyes wide open, she is really cute.

QUOTE(Felix @ May 14, 2006 -> 09:54 AM) The main difference is the 30 total bases, 5 HR and 15 RBI Yeah, you could say that. But their numbers arent that far off, and to say he didnt show up isnt right. PK is the power hitter in the cleanup spot, his numbers are supposed to be like that. Arow was the number 7 hitter, and his numbers really arent that far off. Im not trying to say PK had a bad postseason, because he didnt by any stretch. Just like saying Arow didnt show up is wrong. The guy had a really bad braincramp on the bases, and it was shown multiple times. But how many other baserunning blunders did he have? I cant remember that many.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 14, 2006 -> 09:33 AM) I'll give you that he may be better than average but I remember a guy who was a no-show in the post season, making all kinds of baserunning blunders. Guess I'm puzzled by the 20 threads that have been started for him. Aaron Rowand hit .267 in the playoffs/WS last year(12/45), 18 total bases, 8 runs, 6 doubles, 0 HR, 3 RBI, 4 walks, 1 stolen base, and 9 Ks Paul Konerko hit .265 in the playoffs/WS last year(12/49), 30 total bases, 6 runs, 2 doubles, 5 HR, 15 RBI, 3 walks, 8 Ks Those numbers are pretty close. Would you say that Pauly didnt show up last postseason? http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/teams/battin...05&seasonType=3

I thought the Vikings and Twins were going to share a complex anyways? Lets be honest, the Twins have a short span of time in the summer in which to play outside baseball, they either have to have a dome, or a retractable dome, so they are going to be playing a majority of their games indoors anyways. The teams play on the same surface and get the same hops, the Sox just got the short end of the stick last night. The Twins just got hot and put 7 runs up on the Sox in a hurry. Sure, Batista could have(should have) been called out, and Cuddyer did swing the bat, but how about some damage control from Vazquez? There were so many 2 out hits my head was spinning. It just fell apart in that inning, they have to forget about it and move on.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 14, 2006 -> 08:30 AM) Have I missed something here? Are we in last place and wondering why we traded away a 10-time batting title champ and gold glover? He was an OK player that played with a lot of grit but get over it. He's gone. Our team is way better after the trade we made with him. There is nothing wrong with appreciating Aaron Rowand as a Phillie...Philly...whatever. You seem to be confusing "Man I miss Rowand, he was a gritty player for the Sox" with "Man I wish we never traded Aaron Rowand to the Phillies for Jim Thome, we would be so much better with him on the team." And calling him OK and mediocre and average is selling him short tremendously. The guy had his shortcomings at the plate last year, but he is having a great year at the plate thus far, and he wasnt too shabby in 04 either. What if 2005 was the abberation? We dont know that it isnt. And the guy always brings his glove and hustle, which makes him better than average anyways. There isnt anything wrong with admiring an ex-player from afar. This looks like a deal where everyone ends up happy.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ May 14, 2006 -> 08:46 AM) no no no. Dont buy him out. We need the Knicks to tank again next year so we can swap picks with them (the Bulls have a right to swap first round picks with the Knicks next year. So, if they have #2 and we haev #20, we can get #2). Wait, on second thought, the Knicks might be WORSE with Thomas as coach. There should be no second thought. This is a gaurantee. Isiah Thomas is not a better coach than Larry Brown. I see it as fitting that this captain should go down with the ship he built. Or rowboat.

If there was ever a time when Mark needed to step it up a notch, this would be it. I was hoping for a mid-day start time, but that isnt happening.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2444469 Everything in Bold = This seems like something right up Isiah's alley. He is going to try and win with these guys because if he does, then he did what Larry Brown couldnt do(not likely), but if he loses he loses his job anyways.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ May 13, 2006 -> 02:44 PM) Ugh Hoobastank is in the team picture with Nickelback for bands gone bad...that new CD plays like a childrens Disney special. LMAO, took the words right out of my mouth I have been on a Jethro Tull fix in the last month. My Dad has the greatest hits album(because I am too lazy to peruse all of Jethro Tulls albums at this point), and I have been playing the crap out of it. Locomotive Breath is such an awesome song.

I read a few days ago that Herm Schneider is planning on putting him on a core muscles strength program soon to strenghten his back so this wont happen again.

I dont know if anyone else heard it last night, but the quote on my sig had me busting up last night. DJ had a good broadcasting night, he was hilarious.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 13, 2006 -> 11:10 AM) Uh oh. Better be careful with this guy. Next thing you know some piece of s***, whiny ACLU type will start filing lawsuits on his behalf complaining hes being "tortured". Upon further review............I do believe he got the right sentence. Spending your life in a place like Florence is a fate worse than death. Its easy to kill this guy. But making him think about it, for the rest of his life, however long that is, will drive him nuts. Its a fate worse than death, and the guy just realized that, i think

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 13, 2006 -> 10:46 AM) Its looking like this year is going to be no different. KC, Florida and Pittsburgh are the only real dogs this season. Hopefully Seattle tanks here pretty soon, as well as Colorado, because they both have some solid bullpen arms we could use. I think Brian Fuentes, Rafael Soriano, JJ Putz or even everyday Eddie would make me very happy. Just as long as they dont let Guardado close

Ha! You piece of s***, is the American President going to pardon you now? How are those visions looking from your little concrete block? Pretty scary to think that you are going to spend all that time in prison, instead of heading towards the easy way out with a needle, huh? This is comical, I am so glad they decided to let that asshole rot in jail. QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ May 13, 2006 -> 10:30 AM) Concur wholeheartedly. Have you read about the place he's now in? Holy Crap! Boohoo. These guys are being treated unfairly, thats just too bad.... I didnt know Matt Hale was a prisoner there. I was at SIU when he was a student there, he caused all sorts of problems. But he still graduated from the Law School

QUOTE(JimH @ May 13, 2006 -> 10:04 AM) The trick will be working the trade market when some teams are out of contention. That has gotten trickier and trickier every year. Everyone thought they were in contention last year, and no one wanted to budge.

Montero is helping expidite Nelson's arrival, thats for sure

Good thread idea Tex

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 13, 2006 -> 03:21 AM) My mom has breast cancer. My parents have known for about a month but they didn't tell me cause they didn't want me to get freaked out with finals and s*** coming up. It was such a weird feeling when she told me, I didn't know what to do. Thoughts and prayers man, that really sucks. Be strong.

Thats what I want to see. 100 percent healthy, no pushing up his starts, just get ready.
