Wow, I wonder how effective that thing would be in the weather conditions such as wind?

All of that is nice and all, but they still don't test for Human Growth Hormone, so Balco could STILL be juicing up Barry and company, and we would not know it.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) I haven't been on the past couple days, but damn does this post essentially hit it on the head. Lighten the hell up. If you really want to think about it, we should still be 2-1...we really did sort of win a game we had no buisness winning on Wednesday. OH NOS!1!!!!111!!!! WE LOSTED 1 GAME! If you are going to go putting blame around on everybody, why not put some on the offense too for not scoring more runs? Put some blame on Politte too because from what I remember, he let a run cross the plate when a GIDP would have ended the inning. Putting blame on others is ridiculous. So Shingo f'ed up once. We lost 1 game. It is still April, and there are still 6 months in the season. I know that is just a variation of the 'it's still early' excuse, but it is true. There is no need to even look at standings until like June, and even then it is really early. Good point, everyone is pointing fingers at Shingo, Vizcaino, and or Ozzie, but don't forget the offense went scoreless for 7 straight innings.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 02:32 PM) Aren't the Braves paying a hefty contract to Mike Hampton as well?? Hampton's payroll figure is included with the Braves, even though the Rockies and Marlins are paying a chunk of it. (which doesn't show in the totals)

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 02:26 PM) http://www.forbes.com/lists/results.jhtml?...ry&passKeyword= Excellent timing for that. The Sox payroll went up $10 million for 2005, while making an $8 million profit for 2004. Add in the $2 million the Yankees are sending us for Jose Contreras and once again, the Sox are rolling all of their profits into the payroll, just like clockwork.

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 01:45 PM) Not yet but he better start soon, I didnt draft him early in fantasy for nothing The sacks are packed with Cubs Mike Maddox out to the mound to settle down Capuano Well I hope Carrie Woods settles down. Maybe Moisest will homer instead.

Has Sammy homered yet?

I am alone if I think he will do nothing in the pros?

QUOTE(Yossarian @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) My point is that managers sometimes paint themselves into a corner by going by the modern "book". I say the hell with the book. My first inclination is to do what gives the team the best chance to win whether or not it's by the book kosher. Yes I know, if Shingo goes one, two, three we aren't having this cyber conversation. And that is a good explanation of your thinking process. The original thought was so simpified it was pointless in real life.

QUOTE(BridgeportHeather @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 12:58 PM) Since when has Crede ever hit (or even danced with) .290 in his career thus far? That was also before a very clear 3 year decline in his numbers. Also I don't think Beltre was a 2 time minor league MVP at AA and AAA. Add those two together, and I don't think it is unreasonable not to expect .334 48 HR 121 RBI from a guy who had never hit over .290 23Hr 85 RBI in ANY year, in any one category. Would anyone have ever guessed the Beltre, after being in the majors longer than Crede, would ever approach those numbers? Giving up on him right now is too soon. It also makes no sense to bench Crede for a guy with 111 career at bats over a 5 year span because he had a hot spring. Crede might lose his job to Fields in a year or two, but isn't going to be to Ozuna right now.

Stranger things have happened than Joe Crede having a good year... Look at the first 5 years of Beltre's career in the majors, what about them said 48 hrs and 121 rbi? Nothing. http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/beltrad01.shtml

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 11:54 AM) Grrr... is anyone else having trouble posting..? It took like 4 minutes for my last post to show up... Not at all. Actually I was just talking to Kap, and Soxtalk has put up its two biggest single day hit counts in the last two days (560k, 600k), along with almost 4500 posts, and everything is running awesome on the server end.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 11:37 AM) Yeah, I forgot about him, and Rosty. Maybe this isn't as much about bias, or maybe they are better at hiding it than I thought? Regardless, remove him from leadership positions, but let the voters in Texas decide on the Hammer. Plus, don't we need a guy named the Hammer in Washington? WHat else is he going to do? Kills bugs or join the WWF? Well we know he wouldn't have any Michael Jackson type problems because he knows U Can't Touch This

QUOTE(Gldfinger5 @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 10:53 AM) I'm going to Cubs opening day today. (My roommates are fans and offered an extra.) Anyone have anything they want me to yell at Carlos Lee from the Left field bleachers?? Cheer for Caballo, boo the Cubs

And when things get complicated in real life, just simplify things to the point where it is useless...
