The Ginger Kid

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 29, 2008 -> 08:46 PM) (even if you weren't very good post ASB). (but did hit a game winning dinger in the WS)

Get ready for stories defending the culture of cock fighting....and animal activists on the rampage. Pete at the cockfights wished they would've shown the fight, I'm dying to know who won.

This reminds me of the christian guy in Bull Durham who winds up marrying the team pincushion. I can't wait for pitchers and catchers so there's something interesting to discuss.

sounds like the Mets got a great deal.

It all came together in '05, especially: Neil Cotts, 1.94 ERA sandwiched between years of 5.65 and 5.17 ERA's. Cliff Politte, 2.00 ERA sandwiched between years of 4.38 and 8.70 ERA's (granted, hurt for that last one).

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jan 23, 2008 -> 06:43 AM) I also think people will appreciate Crede a little more when he is gone. I just look at last year as a good example of what it's like without him. I'm gonna hate to see him go.

so that was the point of his article on the eve of sox-fest. i'm glad to see his agenda is right on course for '08

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Jan 23, 2008 -> 08:14 AM) Detroit will be tough, but man to man we are also a tough team and pitching and defense will make the difference. agreed, which is why i would like to see crede playing 3b instead of fields. there's no comparison, and that's not a knock on josh.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 23, 2008 -> 09:42 AM) I agree we need to move Crede's salary and Uribe's if at all possible, but I still say you guys are seriously underestimating the quality we have in our starting pitching...at least I hope you are. I would agree with that. Javy really impressed me last year and i have a feeling that Contreras will bounce back. Hopefully his family issues are resolved.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 02:19 PM) "Surrounded by pills" doesn't necessarily sound like a drug problem - sounds like a suicide. He may or may not have been abusing. Very sad. I really liked his acting a lot. So terrible at such a young age to lose such a great talent. TMZ's reporting that cops say it was an accident.

he was actually in an apartment owned by Mary-Kate Olsen. Story's going to get even weirder.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 02:18 PM) Were he and Michele Williams still together? no

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 01:06 PM) I posted something similar in the cubs Roberts thread over in the Diamond Club. I think a Boone Logan/Jaime Walker discussion should be had as well. Cheap LOOGY for bad contract LOOGY.... that would be interesting giving Walker's slam of sox fans when he was with the kitties.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 10:49 PM) I've very much against giving away MacDougal. I agree. But I also think that Adam Russell breaks camp with the sox. he performed well last year and I look for him to impress again this year.

QUOTE(gosox41 @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 09:07 PM) Not too ruin a good mood, but I'll give you 3 reasons not to get too excited: 1. Contreras 2. Floyd 3. Danks 3 more: Twins Indians Tigers but what the hell, at least the sox are doing something. I do feel like they're putting off re-building by one more year, but given that they won a championship three years ago, I understand the need to try and re-tool vs. re-build at this point. But there are some good guys to start building around and that for me is exciting. I'd like to see Cabrera signed long term so he can be one of those transitional veterans. Buehrle will be one on the staff, which is great.

i go every year. stay in Phoenix if you can, more fun and lots to do. I stay at point south mountain resort, great water park! have fun.

i'd like charlie haeger as a starter over colon.

QUOTE(soxfan3530 @ Jan 18, 2008 -> 04:53 PM) i like your optimism, but this team as currently assembled has very little chance of competing with the tigers and indians. You can add the twinkies to that list too. I think Young is going to take off in that organization.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Jan 15, 2008 -> 10:56 AM) oh... and just try reading that sentence out loud in one breath. its fun and is possible. I think I'll stage a reading at open mic night

how cool would it be if both had breakout seasons?

Leifer?? I am looking forward to watching Jason Bourgeois and Chris Getz, never seen them play.

He was awesome. Time for Blylevin to get his due.

I was shocked to read that mariotti is blasting the trade, while taking the opportunity to remind readers once again of the Sox #2 status in the city. He really is a gem.

QUOTE(klaus kinski @ Jan 4, 2008 -> 11:26 AM) Yes, you have defied the Imperial Ming i just had a flashback

QUOTE(klaus kinski @ Jan 4, 2008 -> 11:05 AM) I dont hear Williams-where is the Interview? Off goes 670 is that ming the merciless in your sig?
