http://www.msnbc.com/news/914098.asp?0bl=-0 Some interesting facts about backstage stuff, and how some of the contests run.

I am going to go with Pauly against the lefty.

Yeah it was called Little Orphan Asshole

Heck I would even be in favor of seeing Rios and Daubach starting at the sametime until Harris gets back. That would give us two lefty bats plus Jose and D'Ang switch hitting, we could almost have a balanced line up Jimenez Valentin Thomas Ordonez Daubach Lee Rios Crede Olivo

So do people think that Walker will turn around Harris, Crede, and the other former pupils of his?

I was actually thinking of Maggs, but I guess he didn't exactly tear up the minors... He was solid, but Carlos attracted much more attention during that time frame.

Am I? How many years has it been since a guy ripped through our minors and became an instant contributor, as a position player? It seems like the last few years everyone gets up here and looks over matched or overrated.

I don't count Borch as much of a CF prospect, he has future corner OF written all over him as soon as Maggs or Lee is gone. Other than that our CF's are at least 2 years away.

So the question now becomes, can the MFBDP Sox hit off of Doug Davis?

Don't get me wrong, I am not disputing that it happened. Like I said I worked on the floor of the CBOE right next to the pit where United options traded. I know what happened, how it happened, and the subsquent investigation afterwards. It was the timeline that was off. Lol. You must have seen our library! Is this going to be a big time theater released movie? It sounds interesting. Any idea when it is supposed to be out?

Heck I think I might have said that openning week when we got swept by KC!

Hey anything new on this?

This is the version from the ST.

Speaking of Holtzman did anyone see that he either had a stroke or heart attack and is in the hospital recovering?

It is the Sun Times, what do you expect quality?

With interleague games two weeks away, Sox pitchers took batting practice Monday. After Bartolo Colon launched a home run 10 rows up in the left-field seats, one player yelled, "I think we just found a DH!"

There's one (or more ) in every crowd

Oh BTW the people who picked Maggs were Juggernaut, Chisoxfn, and Soxheads.

lol, read the first post in the 5-20 PTC thread!

....

Oh that can't be true. I have faith you'll pull it out - think of yourselves as experienced, crafty and wise... No, more like old, slow, and s***ty. When you have lost 4 games by a combined score of 56-6, you are not crafty or wise. It's gonna be a long s***ty summer. Do you play for the Sox?

I'd be interested to hear from Steff and HSC on this one. How could KW being saying things like this is he is out the door? Do you think this guy has a bad source or worse yet just making stuff up? Or has Kenny saved his job at the expense of Jerry's?

Nice to see the 0 walks but I imagine he must have been deep into counts, or the other team was bailing him out a lot. If he only went 5 innings there must have been a reason.

Why are we talking so much about adding starting pitching? That is the one aspect of the team that has been realatively successful, and that we have some immediate depth at the minor league level. We need position players much worse. We have no CF's prospects within 2 years of the majors. It is the same story at the SS position. Think how different the last few weeks are if we have a real CF who can play defense? Same at SS. IMO these are the spots we need to fix ASAP. Even if we can't get major leaguers right away, we need to find some AA prospects to fill in the holes in our system.
