QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 09:06 AM) It is the difference between paying him now and paying him over the course of a season. Sorry but that's a trivial amount in the grand scheme of things.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 09:05 AM) Again, that makes no sense since the contract is guaranteed. If the Sox have 15 people through the gate the rest of the year, they still owe Juan Pierre another $3 million+ (with some from the Dodgers now up in the air added on). The only thing that changes if you cut Juan Pierre is that you might have to pay some portion of it 2 months earlier, and if the Sox are that stressed for $2 million, then they're going to be doing what the McCourts just did in about 8 weeks. Bingo. It doesn't get more clear cut than that.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 08:36 AM) I only recall one poster liking it... I still haven't thought it'd be a good way to spend any half hour, but I'll hit play eventually. Both Felix and I enjoyed the premier.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 08:27 AM) But how much is it costing them in gate revenues and season tickets sold for next year if this team doesn't finish 1st? Excellent point.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 10:58 PM) Well after reading this, it's obvious the Sox are doing the stall thing with Viciedo because of service time. Of course that has to be the reason. Hope it doesn't cost us the division. Cause this lineup remains kind of inept. We must have the worst reporters in the country. Why hasn't anyone cornered Kenny and asked him why a sizzling hot guy in Charlotte is still there?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 03:55 AM) Pretty mellow True Blood premiere. Obviously that won't last. Episode 2 already on HBO Go.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 04:55 PM) For Sqwert.

Carlos Pena with another 2 HRs today, making it 16 for the season. Maybe we shouldn't have laughed at that acquisition after all.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 03:58 PM) It gets better... Alex Rios is a -0.4! I kind of view him as an NL pitcher in our lineup. He'll occasionally get a hit or RBI although he's primarily awful.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 03:51 PM) Correct indeed! Adam Dunn (-0.9) has now passed Juan (-0.7). You win sadness! Gotta love having two of the s***tiest hitters in all of baseball getting a ton of ABs on our team. We might as well get rid of the DH and let some of our pitchers get ABs. They can't be much worse.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 03:40 PM) As has been discussed ad nauseum, it does not take much to upgrade from the statistical worst player in baseball. I know it's hard to compare since Dunn doesn't play defense but isn't he worse than Pierre?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 03:29 PM) A different opinion? A different perspective? Can I just respond to you and say you're just spouting a bunch of liberal progressive sticker slogans every time you give your opinion on a topic? Sorry but I can't take any of this seriously:

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 03:18 PM) As opposed to his being fat being why he can't hit being a fact? Please. That's also speculation I'll admit but there have been several people posting in here that have followed him closely, and watched games in Ohio, that noted he is larger this year.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 03:12 PM) How many teams with a struggling offense would keep their top prospect in the minors who is raking? I'd imagine very few, if any.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 03:13 PM) He whiffs on everything, pitch speed has nothing to do with it. The guy is in a mental slump, its not weight or offseason plans. Why are you stating this as 100% fact? You're just guessing.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) Ya know, it's this sort of comment that makes this board such a big circle jerk for liberals. It's not really surprising when the few conservative members of the board simply give up and post elsewhere. What does this s*** add to the discussion? If you think he's wrong, then attack him with an argument. Show that he's factually incorrect. Just because he has a different view of the world doesn't mean he's "insane." What did his spouting of Tea-Party bumper sticker slogans add to the discussion? There was nothing discussed in his post that merited serious rebuttal.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 03:03 PM) Has he been on-base since June 1st? nicely done

Mercy! Or should I say 'Gas!! He gone!!'

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 01:25 PM) Personally, I love Reagan (surprise!) If Reagan were running in 2012 using the same stances from his 8 year tenure he'd come in last place in the primaries and labeled a leftist whacko by the base.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 02:01 PM) That's the party of tolerance at work there! Who's going to tolerate insanity?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 09:10 AM) im really not concerned with Viciedos speed vs Pierres speed, because Viciedo is not going to be leading off. As long as he can field the balls hit to him, im ok with him For real. The guy is going to be mashing doubles all over the place. Who cares how fast he is?

BTW...did alphadog change his username? He hasn't been here in a while.

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 01:25 PM) I am angry about this whole thing to be honest. America succumbed to the superficial charm of someone who doesn't represent her values. Someone who has spent most of his reign trying to subvert the Constitution of the United States and rule by executive fiat (how about the ICE memo to implement "prosecutorial discretion" towards illegal immigrants who have attended college or served in the military? That's the DREAM Act, something long rejected by Congress. Or his far expanded use of czars not approved by the Senate). Someone who bows to our enemies (the Saudi King, for one) and tries to apologize for our status as the greatest nation on Earth (the New Beginning speech in Cairo and his speech to the UN Assembly apologizing for our "arrogance"). Someone who insults swaths of the American public (the "bitter clingers" quote and his recent gaffe by confusing Medal of Honor winners SFC Monti and SSG Giunta). LMAO. That's some funny reading right there. The legend of Glenn Beck lives on!
