QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 07:17 PM) (Disclaimer: I know NOTHING) After watching that 2 second video clip, I don't like that delivery AT ALL... It looks like a left handed Peavy before the adjustments.

Sox on the clock.

Loux off of the board.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 04:11 PM) This. But at least Erstad played good D... Kotsay does a really good job over at 1B.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 06:06 PM) OH s*** GUYS DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS WTF?!?!?!

QUOTE (heirdog @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 02:59 PM) The Sox paid too much money for Viciedo to sit in the minors for 4 years and then eventually leave. If he can't field, he will come up and DH by next year. If you get two decent offensive years out of his current contract or 1 (and then trade him for some other prospects), then at least you recouped your investment a bit. The Sox will still be owners of Viciedo for six major league seasons if they so desire. The amount of time it takes for him to get to Chicago have no bearing on that.

I heard the German's bombed Pearl Harbor... Oh wait, that is for PHT...

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 02:41 PM) Well I think you have to look at how the team was built. He sunk the majority of our money into the SP. It's true that the offense was a bit of a wing and a prayer, but given the capability of that pitching staff, I really thought his wing and a prayer would be plenty to get the job done. The problem is the part of the club that was supposed to be it's strength has turned out to be it's biggest weakness... No doubt about it. If the starting pitching alone had been anywhere near where it was supposed to be, we are talking about who to add, not who to trade.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 02:39 PM) Yeah, I was really excited to have him til we got to about May 10th. Then I started to wonder where Andruw Jones had gone. Basically at this point, IMO, he's a bench player and defensive replacement for Q. I don't think that it is odd that as soon as Jones was reported to have his first back spasms, his numbers went into the toilet.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 01:45 PM) Andruw Jones is hitting .216 and has an OPS inflated by a red hot start, similarly to what he did last year. He's 16 for 85 since May started with an on base under .300 and a slugging percentage under .400. That is about as blatant an example of using stats to spin an argument as I've seen in a LONG time. Mark Teahen is a 3rd basemen with a slugging percentage for the season under .400 who can't play defense. Thank God we gave him that extension for no reason! And Juan Pierre is a leadoff man with a .318 on base percentage, thank goodness we gave up a solid young pitcher like John Ely for him! Beckham has sucked at pretty shocking levels though, I will give you that. Seriously. I like the part where you called him out for using full season stats to hide a bad recent stretch, then used full season stats to hide recent good stretches.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 01:38 PM) Yes, but that was before the turmoil that went on in East Lansing last season. The great thing about being a college coach is that your players are gone in three years max.

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 01:05 PM) I'm sorry, but that's just not true. Caruso was the gem of the package, Foulke & Howry the closest to major league ready, and Barcelo just had high hopes. He wasn't a throw-in, but he wasn't thought of the way Caruso was. That is not true at all. The pitchers were the center of the deal for sure.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 12:35 PM) Lots of Cleveland related goings-on today, with Tom Izzo potentially being offered their coaching job, and Mo Williams and Delonte West being put on the trade market. It really feels to me like the Cavs are getting ready for life after LeBron.

I wonder if this is a true story, or something planted as a last resort to wake this team up?

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 11:39 PM) And I think that's the key: reload, not rebuild. We still have a core here for a very good baseball team. The problem is it is that exact core that is playing like s*** for the most part.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 09:37 AM) Java updates will always try to reinstall themselves. Make sure, when it happens, that you don't check the Yahoo toolbar option. Yeah, no joke. That was driving me crazy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 09:33 AM) One solution is to always try uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, if you can bare to lose anything you've saved. I'll keep that in mind. I uninstalled the last Java update, and that seems to have worked. Thanks guys!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 09:10 AM) If I'm understanding his problem...he does that, but then when Firefox restarts, Yahoo retakes the top spot. That is exactly it. Even if I delete Yahoo as a choice before closing.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 08:52 AM) It might have something to do with a java update. Whenever java prompts to update they display an option to have yahoo set as your default search and you actually have to uncheck it before continuing the update. If I go back and uninstall the last Java update, should that fix it? (if that is it)

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 11:20 PM) Linesmen can only call majors. They can't tell him they saw a stick hit a guy and then create a call from there. McCreary was in the far corner and missed it, not the first time a high stick has been missed... How quickly you forget about the high stick where Duncan Keith absolutely opened up Briere and that went uncalled as well. Should have been 4 minutes and Philly would have had a 5 on 3 for a minute followed by another 3 minute power play... Out of all the games, THIS is the one you complain after? 2 of Philly's penalties were pretty weak as well. Out of all the series, this is the wrong one for you to be on your the refs can do no wrong kick. They have been horrible for the most part.

In Mozilla the wife installed something that keeps changing the default search to Yahoo everytime the program opens. I want to keep it as Google. Even when I go in and eliminate Yahoo as an option, it still restores it on a restart of Mozilla... How the hell do I fix it? I can't figure it out.

ONE.MORE.TIME.

Now it is fight night.
