Right now, I really wish I were a Braves or, in a perfect world, a Nats fan. My God, what fun teams. This weekend's series is must-watch for baseball fans.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 09:58 AM) Not only that, how does that guy get assigned all of the marquis games? GAMES

greinke's an idiot lowering his shoulder into a former stanford football player who's built like a truck though, given his history, im a bit shocked CQ didn't shatter

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 04:50 PM) If he did, he's an idiot, even if he has a perfect read and plenty of time. Dunn is going to walk or hit a home run in about approxmately 1/4 of his plate appearances, making any sort of stolen base entirely ineffective. He's going to strike out in 1/3. You are seriously looking at more than half of his plate appearances ending in a situation where a stolen base does absolutely nothing. He's also rarely going to GIDP too. He is absolutely the worst player in the entire game to steal a base when up to bat. I love it when you analyze.

Time to burn the jersey.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 03:03 PM) Ok, after giving Breaking Bad a fair chance, I like it. I finished season 1 and have started season 2. It took a bit to really start going for me, but when it did, it became very good. OMG IM SO SHOCKED THAT YOU LIKED BREAKING BAD

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 02:15 PM) No. I like listening to Hawk n Stone a lot. Honestly, I'll bet this is because you're an out-of-towner. It actually makes sense, because Hawkeroo is like the Sox fan you DON'T get to hang out with all the time. I could actually see out-of-town Sox fans being much bigger fans of Hawk.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 12:40 PM) It depends on what you plan on using the bike for. If you aren't planning on doing trails, or off-road biking, then getting a mountain bike is stupid. People do it because "it's the thing to do", not because they thought about their purchase and actually bought the right tool for job. It means you got pliers instead of a hammer when you need to nail something. Yes, the pliers can probably work, but not well for the job. Mountain Bikes are for off-road/trails. Period. For on road biking they are complete s***, unless it's short distance, and then it doesn't really matter...as a huffy would suffice in that situation. If you plan on doing long distance/high speed biking, on road, get a road cruiser...you won't be sorry you did...and neither will your back. I'm a huge fan of the hybrid.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 12:13 PM) See, you say stuff like this, and then you get me rambling, and I want to save my mad ramblings for stuff that can be published. So he's a picture of a duck in a tuxedo OoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO There's nothing wrong with rambling here and then taking that content and expanding upon it for an article. 99.99% of our views are non-soxtalk.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 08:45 AM) Almost every team goes through an 8-game stretch like that during the season. Just so happens the Sox did it during the first 8 games Oh come on now, this team has very little on base skill. Call a spade a spade. It's a boom or bust hit a jack or you're toast lineup.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 12:17 PM) Is this true? Not that I care, I love ketchup, and therefore I love flies if true. The FDA allows up to 30 fly eggs per every 100 grams of tomato sauces, or up to two maggots per every 100 grams of tomato juice. Not just ketchup, but that's the fun one to talk about.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 12:14 PM) And here I thought I was in the hookers thread. I bought this one last spring. It's really sturdy, was always well reviewed, priced right, and I've ridden the hell out of it since. It's still as good as new.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 12:11 PM) So... apparently Figs are "meat eating" fruits that are not technically vegetarian. According to this, they digest wasps as part of their pollination process, meaning there are animal byproducts etched into the DNA of fig fruits. Apparently this only applies to wild grown figs. Those cultivated in captivity are not allowed to be the carnivores they are in nature. http://www.thekitchn.com/strange-symbiosis...-fig-and-126960 And ketchup has flies in it.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Apr 10, 2013 -> 09:42 PM) Just started looking into buying a bicycle myself. I think assuming I like the feel of it this weekend going with the Trek 7.2 FX. It's a hybrid road bike so can sit up while riding but still can get it going pretty fast. I plan to use it mostly on bike trails and whatnot though, not as a mode as transportation. Also don't buy it online before making sure you get fitted for the right size in a shop, that would be just a dumb thing to do you may regret. I bought this one last spring. It's really sturdy, was always well reviewed, priced right, and I've ridden the hell out of it since. It's still as good as new. http://www.diamondback.com/2012-edgewood

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 08:25 AM) Beckham will have a built in excuse now if he comes back and struggles... Well, we better bring him back next year, then. The reason he'll have a 70-something OPS+ and the worst OBP of any 2b in baseball THIS year will only be because of his wrist.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 07:53 AM) Anybody else think it's stupid to have a 7 day DL for concussions only? If they're going to have the 7 day DL, teams should be able to use it for any injury. It can really put teams in a tight spot if they have a couple players nursing injuries that will be out for 5 or 6 games and opening up the 7 day DL would really help that. That's a good point - I see no reason why the 7-day DL can't just be used universally. I guess it would negate the 14-day DL because teams would just keep putting players on the 7-day DL to give themselves more flexibility.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 11:19 AM) It's been the same Hawk as always so far to me. Typical sound board. Still talks over Stone and than tries correcting him after he makes a point. I don't know how Steve puts up with it sometimes.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 11:35 AM) Both my father in law and my wife found it very respectful. Maybe it's not for everyone, but some people really appreciate it. This.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 11:07 AM) Scalabrine did it against random kids these are top college prospects but the point still stands MJ would own them. He beat a guy who had played for Syracuse the year prior, though. EDIT: dominated, not beat

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 09:10 AM) Haren gave up 4 home runs his last start. So you know, let's do that.
