QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 07:54 PM) How's the crowd look tonight? And also, at least Seattle will have Felix and Fister facing the Twins. Wouldn't surprise me to see Rowland-Smith pulled from their rotation. Big, but not sold out. At least I don't think so.

That would have been sensational.

Can we play against Rowland-Smith every day?

Splendid.

Rowland-Smith might not make it out of this inning.

About as good of a start as you could have asked for offensively.

Pretty rare to see a bad hop on the infield at the Cell.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 06:32 PM) The record books are all that matter. So, screw the Tigers and Detroit. I'm with you on the 2nd part.

QUOTE (The Beast @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 06:34 PM) To hell with it, I hear so much of everyone's opinions day in and day out that it's so difficult to follow through with my desires. I am not just going to be a sitting duck, let life pass me by and not miss out on more than I already have. I've been meeting new people right and left, trying to enjoy myself, and I have been. But I also still would like to exercise my free will and do something instead of sit here listening to people to "sit and wait for things to come around." I don't over pursue or do anything to freak the women out. I'm direct with them, and if there's nothing there, then god damnit, I move on. Sure, I'll get a hooker. That's a great story to tell your kid or future significant other. "Honey, I have slept with a prostitute before. That's the kind of guy I was. I never got tested. Do you think you have herpes?" Screw that crap. Thing is, he's absolutely right. You're over-analyzing. Don't think, just do. Be aggressive but don't be creepy. And don't be overly nice or you'll get stuck in a friend zone quickly. The sarcastic, funny asshole works most of the time. And you never have to tell anyone about being with a hooker.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 05:50 PM) Guys, yesterday sucked big time! I started talking to this girl in early June, right around the time the Sox went on their crazy run. I was really interested in her, but I called her my good luck charm for the Sox. She broke up with her old boyfriend while we were starting our friendship, and after her breakup we started talking a lot. The last few weeks had been really great until yesterday when she said she wanted to be with her ex-boyfriend again. And she thinks he'll change from being a jerk towards her and not wanting to hangout with her and stuff. It kind of sucked because on Sunday she was talking about our future and wanting to be in a relationship eventually, then Monday she tells me she doesn't want that at all. At least I'm not really heartbroken because we weren't even talking for two months. But it still sucks. Man, I've been in the same position (outside of the not talking for 2 months thing) for a while. You have to just suck it up and give her an ultimatum. It's not worth sticking around so long in limbo where there is clear mutual interest but nothing is happening.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 06:33 PM) Disagree with your agree with the disagree. I'm not even sure what that really mean you agree or disagree with, but I have NO problems dealing Hudson as long as we have another deal in place for a quality pitcher.

Don't know why, but I'm extremely excited about this evening's game.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 06:21 PM) What did we get for Contreras last year? What would it take to get a Westbrook or a Millwood? Are they better than Torres/Marquez? Brandon Hynick. More for Westrbook than you'd like, not sure about Millwood. Yes.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 06:06 PM) No they haven't. They have according to everyone but you, Jim Joyce and Bud Selig.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 05:57 PM) They didn't draft Jimmy. Plus I believe Jimmy was picked in 2009 by the Maple Leafs. Hawks just traded their 3rd round pick to get him this year. Alot of people liked how Leddy and Lalonde feed off each other in prospect practice. A scout was quoted they could be the 19 and 20 year old version of Keith and Seabrook in due time. Right, I meant draft-day acquisition for the other brother Hayes.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 06:01 PM) Whoa, this thread has added 10 pages since I last read it. Is there anything in here of any real merit? Merkin said Beckham has been told that he is going nowhere.

IIRC, CSN will be re-airing the episodes starting some time in August, but I'll get confirmation tomorrow.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 05:37 PM) I'm sure SoxAce is right there with you and I think you're all nuts. I'm with Kalapse on this one. No thanks.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 05:30 PM) If KW could get Dunn and Grienke.. man that would be orgasmic.. Orgasmic is a VERY good word for that scenario. BTW, Scott Merkin is reporting that Beckham has been told that he is going nowhere at the deadline. http://twitter.com/scottmerkin

The Hawks have been a good drafting team for quite some time now. They've delivered at least 1 starting caliber player in every draft since 2002. 02: Keith, Wisniewski 03: Seabrook, Crawford, Byfuglien 04: Bolland, Brouwer, Dowell, Bickell, Barker 05: Hjalmarsson (and possibly Skille/Davis/Brophey this yr) 06: Toews (possibly Danis-Pepin or Makarov) 07: Kane Beach and Lalonde in 08, Olden, Pirri, Kruger in 09, and the Hayes brothers in 10.

Hawks to sign D Prospect Nick Leddy Great news. Hawks also signed Hugh Jessiman. 26 year old d-man, was the 12th overall pick in 2003.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 03:25 PM) Before this year, that's what he pretty much did. He was basically the least valuable .290-.300 hitter in the league, especially if you add in his bad defense. I know I'd love to have him in the outfield for the Sox.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 03:06 PM) Apparently last week, Rizzo wanted Garza from the Rays for Dunn. http://danny-knobler.blogs.cbssports.com/m...ntryListMiniCnt That man is a certified idiot.
