QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 03:38 PM) Stalberg signed a new deal with the Hawks. 2 years, $875,000 hit per. Not bad at all considering what the FA market was doing.

That Danks guy is supposed to be a pretty big prospect

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 02:35 PM) The problem is that the scouting has been poor and the Sox have used massive resources chasing these guys with "stuff", who end up dominating very rarely. The Sox also equate "stuff" with throwing hard, and the 2 don't necessarily connect. Who in the world convinced Ken Williams that Edwin Jackson was a lead starter quality pitcher? 4 teams have been convinced of that.

That was a great match. Brazil hadn't given up a goal the entire tourney, until today.

Flowers officially up/

He said in the Trib today that The Twins are always built to win the AL Central and not the World Series, while the Sox are always built to win the World Series and not the AL Central.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 10:33 PM) Are you really trying to say one is relevant and the other is not? Would love some insight from the arguing side instead of just snide/empty comments and lapses of logic. Again, at the very least, attitudes/personalities matter and each individual person will have a different influence as a coach. This isn't a difficult concept. Obviously it is for some...

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 09:47 AM) The 2004 Astros responded after changing managers mid-season by making the playoffs. The 2011 Red Sox and Twins responded without changing managers.

That will be fun for sure

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 12:00 AM) Hamilton wasn't "responsible" for his death. So he'll be looked upon poorly if he's not sending million dollar checks to the kid's house? Come on. Hamilton doesn't have to be this kid's father figure, that's ridiculous. It doesn't have to be money.

Glad to hear the fan offered the ball back to Jeter with no strings attached.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 09:55 PM) Feeling that way and people saying you're obligated are two totally different things. But I see where you're coming from. Hopefully you see my point as well. I don't see "obligated" as being a bad way to put it.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 09:37 PM) So what? Is Josh supposed to send him a check every month? Put him through college? Land him a job in baseball? He tossed the damn ball into the stands. This occurs quite frequently. Happened to be a guy went for the ball without any regards to his personal safety and a tragedy occurred. Hey, I feel really bad for the kid. Don't get it twisted. But Q suggested that Josh is forever in debt to this kid because his father died. And anything less than that and he'll hate him? Are you serious? You don't see anything wrong with that? I'm saying if I was involved in the death of a young kids father, I'd feel like I owe him something. I have kids close to that age. I understand the connection there. If I was "responsible" for ending that, I would feel responsible, and I think anyone who has kids should feel that way. I think it would take a Casey Anthony type to not have that feeling if you had kids. I know I would feel that I am in debt to that kid for the rest of his life if I were Hamilton. If Hamilton doesn't reach out pretty heavily, I will absolutely think he is a heartless piece of s***. That's not hyperbole either, that is the honest truth.

Lasso him.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 08:33 PM) I forgot Viciedo is playing the Future's Game tomorrow. That's why he's off. Maybe he can stay at PK's 16,000 sq ft house in Scottsdale?

Very cool pics B. I wish I could have been there.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 09:10 PM) Q, you're a cool dude, but WTF? Hamilton did absolutely nothing wrong. He doesn't owe that kid a damn thing. It was the fluke of all flukes. He doesn't "owe" him anything, but at the same time, you have to be a special kind of heartless bastard to feel that you don't owe the kid something. that is just common decency.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 08:21 PM) Gordon might be our best bunter. Where did this come from? Gordo has been a terrible bunter.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 09:16 PM) Um, OK? No, this is just getting stupid now. Kobe says f** in the heat of the moment and then, "OMG! Kobe insulted every f***ing gay person to walk the face of the earth! Off with his head!". LeBron says retarded when the stupid ass reporter asked a question that no doubt could be classified as retarded and, "Sweet Jesus! That bastard LeBron! Suspend him for a month!" And now this Gordon s***? Get some thicker skin you f***ing crybabies. Oh, and that wasn't aimed at anybody at this board. Just people in general. People are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY too sensitive these days. You can't even handle when people argue a point with you, and you are telling people that they are way to sensitive? Excuse me for a minute... :lolhitting :lolhitting

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 08:50 PM) Gordon's probably our best bunter, but I know it's expecting a lot for Ozzie to realize that. Beckham our best bunter? No way.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 06:33 PM) Does T-Flow get the call now that Castro is out due to a broken hand or is it Lucy? Flowers for sure.

QUOTE (since56 @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 07:10 PM) Phegly? It will be Flowers. He is already on the 40 man even.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:53 PM) I'm really starting to have my doubts about the talent. Hope you're right It didn't disappear that quick.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:51 PM) Flowers just a hit a homer. He's 2-2. .261, 15 homers, 32 RBIs QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 06:01 PM) Lucy just replaced Flowers in the game. I expect Tyler to be on his way to Chicago. QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 06:02 PM) Lucy replaced Flowers in the game. Flowers is coming up. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 06:06 PM) He must have gotten the text. Honestly I am surprised that no one called Charlotte and told them to get him out to be safe. Too slow
