http://baseballdraftreport.com/2011/09/01/...raft-in-review/ Pretty good blog writeup describing the Sox's draft this year.

http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2011/9/4/24043...hite-sox-report I'm seeing more of a Jon Garland-type with Johnson, sans the sinker for the FB.

http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2011/9/4/24043...hite-sox-report Although I would love to see that happen, I think Soptic will be our next Addison Reed.

Can I have a Bill James-type position? I'm pretty good with history/stats/stuff, although I need to brush up my knowledge in Advanced Stats/WAR/etc. Or I'll just be a fan.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 15, 2011 -> 11:10 AM) I'd have to check gameday to confirm, but his 'nothing more than 90' fastball sat 91-92 regularly. That's not blazing, but it's certainly MLB cailber speed. I saw someone else bring this up recently, but I'd trade Santos this offseason with the hopes of having Reed close. Maybe line up a vet for a one-year deal while Reed grows into the spot, but he should be that good if he can handle the pressure. "sell 'em while he's high (in value)". *Sigh* as much as it pains me to say it, you're right Danman. His stock is pretty high. And we have an option in Reed, although we may need a vet just in case Reed doesn't hack it...money on Reed though.

Jeff Abbott, Brett Caradona, and Aaron Poreda.

quips are getting us nowhere.

IT'S A CONSPIRACY! PIPE BOMB!

Game? There's a game tonight??

John Sickels has posted a "Who should be considered for the short season player of the year." http://www.minorleagueball.com/2011/9/12/2...ogin=1315854695 Here's what I said: Through two Rookie levels, the seventh round pick from 2011 was .355/.448/.626/1,073 in 56 games. Out of 72 hits, 34 were extra base hits, 9 of them were HR. 48 RBI. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...&pid=607345

Crap. Bummer.

Year one of being married. Living in Luling TX. On the way to work to my Recruiting job. Listening to 93.7 KLBJ, where the morning show, Dudley and Bob, were airing a prior-made skit, when they broke in and said that "a plane just crashed in the WTC." At first I thought it was a small commuter plane, I'm thinking, who the heck couldn't miss that big building? It was about 7:58 approx CT. Then when I was getting on I-10 to head to New Braunfels TX, Dudley & Bob cut into the ABC News Feed...the interviewer was interviewing someone who witnessed the first plane going in, and then in the background, you can hear the explosion of the 2nd plane going into the second WTC. My immediate thought "that was no accident." Got to work, had eight interviews that day to do, one every hour. Skipped lunch. We all looked like little puppy dogs with our tails between our legs. We could see what we were watching/hearing, but we just didn't comprehend WHAT WAS GOING ON.

Lucky.

Cool, I probably saw him/them floating down the river this summer. Update on the big fire in Bastrop: TylerS_KVUE Tyler Sieswerda Not great news from Bastrop fire update. Very active fire this afternoon. Approx 1500 structures burned. 30% contained. 5 hours ago Favorite Retweet Reply

QUOTE (Papa Tru @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 10:18 AM) I can see HHH losing with Johnny Ace takin over and being behind the Nash thing Now it would be more interesting if Stephanie was in cahoots with Johnny Ace and Nash. Steph could take the "I should be the COO being a McMahon" angle. Would make an interesting story.

paul goldschmidt is pretty darn good. but yep, profar.
