  1. Ha! It got picked up by a bunch of Twins fans on ESPN also, and they made fools of themselves as well! Man a day later and this joke still keeps getting funnier!
  2. I was surprised to see only one of the Oakland big 3 on there. I might have put Mulder or Hudson ahead of Myers
  3. kill-joy If that isn't incentive to win a title, maybe JR should say he will sell the team if they win it all
  4. After the way predictions went the first day... I am going to say 2 1/3 IP 8 runs 5 earned, lol. Affeldt pitches a shutout.
  5. http://boards.espn.go.com/cgi/mlb/request....b_chc&id=643746 Apparently people on here weren't the only ones who fell for Rex's April Fools joke about the bats. This is a classic thread!
  6. I think after the disaster that was Jason Bere's experience eith elbow surgery and just the general amount of arm injuries we have had lately, it sounds like the Sox are taking the safe road, which is just fine by me. If Josh Stewart has to make 3 or 4 starts now that is better than him making them during a pennant race!
  7. The hard caps (bottom and top) have worked wonders for the NFL. You never hear about labor strife or franchises in trouble. I think it is something baseball needs to try.
  8. Let me guess, this is Mariotti (aka kotex boy's) column tommorrow?
  9. OK who hasn't bought their tickets yet? We need to sell this thing out and steal some headlines. Every ticket the Sox can sell this year is another chance of us being able to resign guys like Bartolo and Maggs long term.
  10. Good luck with all of this Mario. I can't wait to see it!
  11. Don't forget the two game series in Houston. Damn JR trying to make a buck, I wonder if he realizes he cost us openning day?
  12. Well at least that means that the Ex-Sox are getting back to normal. The world will be right when Royce has his first couple of oh fers
  13. Very interesting. If it is true, I hope someone was in the unemployement line today!
  14. Top that off with some great hitters who just had two days to think how embarassed they were on openning day... I hope this all adds up to good news..
  15. I don't know about another starter, but I am hoping we can get a kick ass SS or 2B prospect. We have some decent guys in the system at these spots, but no one you just ache to see in a Sox uni. I would be nice to have someone to point at as the future after Valentin leaves.
  16. the early days the sox were more prominate on wfld, or what is now wciu..... wgn has always been a scrubbies channel.. and untill the past few years the sox were only on there a small handful of the time.... now they have a ton of games on there...... i know its better for you out of towners to get wgn............ No way...they're only on WGN around 30-35 times. That's pretty much the way it's been for the past few years, if memory serves me correctly. Once a week is about how often they're on. back in the early 90's and even further back the sox were only on wgn about 10 times a season if that........honestly.......... I think you are right. I always remember them being on cable a ton right around the time the whole SportsVision/Channel thing got going.
  17. I met her at Soxfest last year, and yes she is.
  18. OK so after reading this I got to thinking. If Brian Daubach gets off to a quick start, does it open up Carlos Lee to a possible deal, even if Joe Borchard isn't ready for primetime yet?
  19. Forget about it, and I'm not saying that because of Boras being the agent, but because of that ridiculous price tag. Vladdy is gonna get a contract similar to that and he's way better then Beltran. The number I heard for Vlad is 5 yrs $90 mil, which is still another $3 mil a year more than Beltran. And I hope this latest trend of greedy Boras clients losing out, doesn't end soon. I hate greedy SOB's! :fyou
  20. Just as a note Beltran is a Boras client so we all know what that means. And he is looking for $15 mil a year for 8 years. As nice as it would be, there is no chance of seeing Beltran in a Sox uni.
  21. http://premium.baseballprospectus.com/arti...?articleid=1763 Here are some more yuks from baseball prospectus
  22. I wonder exactly how long it took Cub fans to start calling about World Series tickets. Was it Kerry Wood's first strikeout? Was it Corey Patterson's first RBI, Sammy's first AB? Or did they wait until it was 5-2, and Glavine was out of the game? Inquiring minds want to know!
  23. I wonder what odds are better, the 750,000 to 1 on the Royals winning the World Series or JR openning his wallet and signing Tejada?
  24. It is an April fools joke actually. I thought it was pretty funny myself. I was hoping to let some stress off of here! Read the last paragraph, it is a dead giveaway.
