G&T

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 11, 2009 -> 04:23 PM) When did Boers talk about this? It doesn't shock me though, he looked like piss when I saw him pitch. Today, not long before I posted that.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 11, 2009 -> 04:05 PM) Great trade then wasn't it? Hopefully he's wrong, but yeah, that's a bad one.

According to Terry Boers, the Sox no longer see Marquez as a major league pitcher. FWIW.

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 11, 2009 -> 03:47 PM) Mark would be the perfect poster here. And half the poeple would call him a moron and tell him he knows nothing about baseball. On a related note, when MB was on B&B he said he would throw at the Ranger's players when his guys were getting hit. After hanging up, B&B proclaimed that he was wrong to want to throw at people. Nothing like radio hosts telling a really good pitcher how to play the game.

QUOTE (qwerty @ May 9, 2009 -> 04:56 AM) Since 1957, the MLB record for the longest consecutive game streak of 20 _____ or less (not including zero) by a player who was in the starting lineup is three games, by the "the big hurt". What word belongs in the blank? I will answer it in a day or so if anyone wants to take a crack at it... unless someone of course gets it before hand. Answer?

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ May 10, 2009 -> 02:51 PM) gameday says throwing error. TIFWIW Threw it over PK's head.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 10, 2009 -> 02:41 PM) This is the first time I have gotten to sit and watch Colon. His pitches move all over the place. More so than 03 it seems. He's also throwing 5-7 mph slower. He's making it work so far.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 9, 2009 -> 04:22 PM) Yep...I text him that I was pretty sure I was sleep walking last night and he responded...I hope so because you were putting ice cream down your pants. This morning I seen the container of ice cream sandwiches in my room. If you ever seen the movie Step Brothers when they were sleep walking that is pretty much what I was doing I guess. My first impression is that your roommate was putting ice cream in your pants. But I never met the guy.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 9, 2009 -> 03:13 PM) So apparently I was sleep walking last night and put ice cream sandwiches down my pants. Do you have a room mate?

QUOTE (shipps @ May 8, 2009 -> 09:30 AM) I would think they are gonna have detectives that intially investigated the case to testify that there was foul play going on under the table. Doubtful unless they are all going to turn on their own guys. This comes down to the new law that will allow Savio's letters to be admissible in court which will help to establish intent.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 9, 2009 -> 03:45 AM) "Either side" assumes more than one.. Example: I am not a fan of either of those teams. However, you are correct. It is not considered correct grammar. This blog post explains: http://languageandgrammar.com/2008/11/07/o...f-this-mistake/ The first comment post does bring up an interesting point, however. "Either side" means that there are 2 sides. Not 2 chairs.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ May 8, 2009 -> 09:35 PM) This is not a trick question or a riddle, but more of a grammar question. Someone says to you: "Please put a chair on either side of that table". How many chairs would you put down? "Either" would imply "either...or." If that person wanted two they should say "both."

I don't know why every team in baseball doesn't put some random lefty on the mound in every game against the Sox.

Aramis Ramirez dislocates shoulder.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 8, 2009 -> 09:26 PM) Anyone think Ozzie may want to look at DJ in the rotation, especially, say, if he goes 4 strong tonight? Looks pretty good.

Junk ballin lefty. The Sox should just forfeit these games. They know they can't win. They don't really try. The could use the day off.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 8, 2009 -> 09:14 PM) So in other news, looking outside, I might die tonight: Since moving to New York I constantly forget just how flat the midwest is.

Notice how Ranger hitters can take outside pitches the other way? That must be nice.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 8, 2009 -> 09:01 PM) Another awesome AB for Lillibridge. It just seems some games that our offense has no focus/intensity at the plate. Until Lilly realizes that he can't hit homers, he will fail. And yes, he does think he can hit for power.

Is anyone up in the pen? Cuz they are buying time out there.

Nix is pretty good.

Real tough to get guys out when you can't throw anything off speed.

CQ hasn't figured out how to hit an outside pitch this year.

B&B discussed this but it's so weird I figured I'd post it: Wiki

The Cubs have traded Gathright for Ryan Freel.
