QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 09:12 AM) The impressive thing about Contreras right now is that I don't even think he's close to having his great forkball yet. I went home and watched the tape of the game last night, and he was mowing hitters down with his sidearm fastball/slider. When he starts nailing that forkball again, this league doesnt stand a chance.

Does this futuresox crap really belong in Palehose talk? Futuresox has their own site, leave it there... All jokes aside, great article. The way this website is expanding and progressing is nothing short of astonishing, and i am glad to be able to be a small part of it.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 10:41 PM) No need to jump off the bandwagon yet. As long as we're winning, he can play and try to learn from this. p.s. Did you see how frustrated he was after his final at bat? Did you see how awful his swings were in his final at bat? I would be frustrated too. He had a nice single in the first inning and then the Royals just moved in and out on him and he just got confused in every at bat.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 08:20 AM) When Mike Cameron hit his 4 HR's against us, didn't he do it in the 1st 4 AB's of the game? Oh yeah, him and Juice Boone had a nice round of home run derby off of Mr Confidence, Jim Parque. I think there was one more player involved in the HR shenanigans that day, I know at least one more player went deep. Jerry Manuel was reading in the dugout or something, I cant remember. I doubt he could remember either.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 10:38 PM) He hit .337 over two seasons in the Japanese league--great. I don't think the level of competition over there is anything near MLB--despite what Valentine says. Like I said, If Gooch proves me wrong, I'll gladly eat crow. I jsut don't expect him to hit over .300 here in MLB. Its not the same level of competition, sure, but that doesnt mean that everything they do over there doesnt apply. Do we completely dismiss minor league numbers when players make it to the big leagues? Or do we use them to gauge their progression? Ichiro came over to the US and in under 5 years broke the single season hits record. People could see that Ichiro could hit, he just needed to get adjusted to the MLB. Same thing with Iguchi. He is still getting acclimated, but look at the difference in results from last spring to this spring. He knows how pitchers in the MLB pitch to him now and he can adjust much, much better. I think Iguchi is going to hit over .300, especially with a healthy Jim Thome hitting behind him. Im going to go on record and say that Iguchi is going to serve you up some crow sushi, with a huge side of wasabi to clean your sinuses afterwards .

QUOTE(hi8is @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 01:49 AM) he does have a big heart and a soft spot... such a great person.... the day after a spring training game in 2005 in which he had given up 6 runs in 4 IP.... i told him, "you threw the ball great yesterday Jose, dont worry... your going to do great this year" the way he looked at me was somewhat shocked and somewhat touched. what i said truly effected him. it was probably unreal for him to go out there and make a dozen or so mistakes and then have a fan tell him he threw the ball well... the last spring training he had in 2004 with the yankees, people were probably hostile with him. its one of my fondest recent memories. Did you say that in Spanish with a heavy Cuban accent?

Haha, no. I am all about adding fun to the sex, not replacing it with something else.

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 03:06 PM) There is a difference between having long hair and looking like Johnny Damon.. Now, I do agree that AJP really needs a haircut, the long hair looks ridiculous on him.. but Crede, Freddy, and Cotts do not look unprofessional in any way. Everytime Ive seen Crede off the field with no hat, his hair has been kept and styled. Hopefully, they just need to trim.. It would suck to have them have to lose it all So Kenny should go up to AJ and say "You know, you really look ridiculous with that long hair, and I dont really like it, so you should get it cut." and then walk right past Freddy, Cotts and Crede without a word, because he feels that their long hair fits them better? Dont you think that would cause a little problem? You either have a rule about hair length or you dont. You cant let some guys do it and crack down on others.

this would be more funny if it was more funny.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 11:36 AM) I seriously think we can beat the Pistons in round 1 The Pistons would have to have a meltdown of epic proportions. They didnt win 64 games(so far) by mistake. I would like the Bulls to win, but I dont see it happening. This is gonna be another year of experience in the first round.

Well? Its 11:30......

QUOTE(JoeBatterz @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 11:25 AM) I keep saying it, I wish I had guys down here like you have in Chicago. With the exception of 2 guys, everyone in Nashville is a total homer that is spoon fed positive things to say about their teams. They do not even let the few fans who get upset have their say. I feel like I am back in the Soviet Union. I have never recommended satellite radio to anyone because I think it is ruining the radio medium as a whole, but it sounds like you need to get it. ASAP.

QUOTE(R.J. @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 11:19 AM) I'm for that, but you can look presentable with long hair and facial hair more easily than you can in flip flops and a hawaiian shirt. Actually, in the business world all that stuff goes hand in hand, its the same thing. Close cut and professional, thats the way it is. These guys represent Jerry's business, he can tell them how long he likes their hair if he wants, and if they dont like it they can find employment elsewhere. Do you think that haircuts are so important that they have lost sight of the team needs? Did they lose their way because Jerry doesnt like it long? Maybe KW's big board fell off the wall when Jerry started b****ing about the hair?

Its HAIR people. It grows back.
