Yep

now see there, yes. Sox fans turn on their own too easily in my opinion. If a player is not dogging it (a la, in my opinion, Colon in some games and D'Lo with every breath he took for eaxample) then a slump I will stick with them and wonder why others turn on them. MB was ripped earlier this year and as you point out, PK was and is and why PK is getting all this blasting I have no idea. I don;t understand it. Given my druthers, since it is a long season and no one hoits 400 anymore, if a player is going to ahve a slump, the early part of the season is better than the late part. And it is a team game - everyone slumps - so a player has to give the best that he can and his team mates have to carry him for a while because it happens to everyone and that is why it is a team game. So I certainly agree, the deities fdorgive a player going into a slump because the vultures will be out... First of all, Vince... where exactly was he getting slack he didn't deserve? Did he stink up the joint the first half? Yes. Did anyone s*** on him for his performance since the break? No. You want to sit there on top of the hill and pretend he's been the savior.. then go for it. But don't pretend like you don't know why he's gotten the crap he's gotten this year. Both of those threads.. and nearly every post in them.. was simple poster bashing. That's all it was. No more, no less.

Exactly... C'mon Sox.. Light him up like we usually do!!

F'ing Heather! Her fault. When I start game threads, we win!! Heather... no more game threads for you.

Oye.. the mental picture there...

Someone needs a mirror...

Am I winning that damn thing yet...??

Ummmm... ugghhh...

Then you too should get it right and not put words into my mouth. And as an adult, you really shouldn't let anything an athlete does offend you on a personal level. Fact is, we're going to need Colon to perform like an ace down the stretch, and I HIGHLY...HIGHLY doubt he's going to give it less than a 100% effort. Obviously he's not convinced me he can spell '100%'. As an 'adult'? Go f*** yourself. Who the f*** are you? Take your inane left handed slaps and shove them up your ass sideways. Oh geezus... That's enough. WTF is wrong with you people???

LOL.. Pot, meet the kettle And Colon will not be here next year. Already got his Yank uniform ready I'm sure.

I'd say that's a big 10-4.

Cool. We'll be there as well. Glad ya got them!!

OMFG!! Does this stuff just come naturally to you guys?

Looks like you just turned it into a "gay bashing" thread. I'm pretty sure Clu and I were joking...

Just went to edit and saw you caught me... In my defense.. I am nearly a hag now and the mind is goin', ya know!!

I wish. The guy must have a lifetime supply of knee pads

Oh no ya don't .... I want no part of this lingering topic..

Roman.. Mark said he's had some stiffness in the arm. One more day's rest is playing it safe. I want Mark pitching in the playoffs. It it means we have to eat a bottle of Rolaids tonight while watching Neal pitch.. then so be it.

Ichiro MVP? Nah. He's having a good year, but not MVP-esque. Plus, I think him and Bret Boone would split the votes. I say that it's Frank's award for the taking. It would be the 2nd time that he deserved the MVP after not making the AS team that year. Don't forget who votes for the MVP award. It IS a popularity contest to some extent. I better bring Frank some Chapstick on Tuesday... Geez.. he's going to need like 50 cases of the stuff!

Roman.. it is Neal's scheduled start. And why are you so worried about his butt...?

Yeah.. here too. My boss has been in here 3 times this morning. Looking to score playoff tickets no doubt. If he gives me an extra week of paid vacation I might consider it..

Right. But I believe the initial tinker was due to Mark wanting to pitch in Yankee Stadium -Michelle can confirm (and actually I think there is a thread about it?)

I thought about them totally by accident. But not at all as a baseball team. I had gotten a ride home with Crystal the night before they left (her and the kids went with Ray to NY - for the tour no less) and I just kept remembering how excited she was to go. The second the first plane hit I just started dialing their cell phones.. Didn't get in touch with her for 5 hours. Gives me the chills just thinking about it.

Oh geezus Corg... and Oh geezus Clu... Both of you.. STFU!!

Which day are you going..?
