So has PK had this bone bruise for a while now or is this just from tonights swing?

Is it just me or has every inning ended in a 3U grounder to Paulie?

Game time in a few minutes. No Toby Hall is a positive.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ May 15, 2008 -> 07:53 PM) I'm 6ft, and I used to be able to dunk. 2 knee operations ago, when I was 21, and 70 pounds lighter. It wasn't pretty, but it was a dunk. I used to get so pissed at the 6'6" guy on my intramural team who had maybe a 5" vertical at best. I can still dunk with ease, but my knees have held me back a ton. I've dislocated both knee caps on 6 different occasions and am a bit out of shape, so the dunks aren't what they were a year ago, but it still looks good. I've been working/playing a ton lately and I've been trying to get back in shape and improve my vertical a tad bit. My goal is to throw down a 360 by the end of the summer.

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 15, 2008 -> 08:47 PM) someone mentioned something about Hicks, but to be honest, at 8 overall, I'd rather get more of a true baseball player than an athlete. Hicks is good and all, but is still very raw. Right now, my big board is something like. 1a. Aaron Crow/Brian Matusz, SP -Okay, odds are that both will be gone in the top 3-5, but if something were to happen where one of them is somehow there at 8, you gotta take them. Highly wishful thinking, but oh well. You can throw Alvarez, Posey and Tim Beckham into this category as well, as something extraordinary would have to happen for them to be available here. 1b. Justin Smoak, 1B - South Carolina -Now this is a bit more realistic. As of now, it is between Smoak and Alonso for the top college 1B spot. I am not that big of a fan of Alonso though, and like Smoak better. I actually hope Alonso goes ahead of Smoak to increase the odds of Smoak being available at no. 8. 2. Gordon Beckham, MI - Georgia -If Smoak is gone, but Alonso is still there, I personally would go a different route. Gordon Beckham provides us with a toolsy shortstop with linedrive power, and potentially a 5 tool threat. There are questions as to whether he would play SS or 2B, but I think he can handle SS just fine. 3. Kyle Skipworth, C - California HS -I'd still avoid Alonso here and go with Skipworth. Skipworth has a nice swing from the leftside and power to all fields. He is similar to Joe Mauer as a hitter but probably has more power potential. He might or might not be able to stick at catcher, but due to the fact he has a canon arm, it is reasonable to think he can. 4. Yonder Alonso, 1B - Miami -Now would be the time I'd personally go with Alonso. I like him, but I don't see a ton of upside with him. However, he'd be one of the safer picks, and should be a good player for a long time. He has arguably the best eye in the draft. 5. Eric Hosmer, 1B - Florida HS -He'd be higher on my list if not for the fact he wants a monster signing bonus in the 7 million range. That is going to push him down similar to Porcello, IMO. However, there isn't much to not like about Hosmer. A reach that I wouldn't entirely mind would be Jemile Weeks, 2B/OF, Miami. I really like him as a potential leadoff hitter. Thats Rickie Weeks' younger brother, correct?

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ May 15, 2008 -> 06:17 PM) Can you dunk? QUOTE (knightni @ May 15, 2008 -> 07:07 PM) He is pretty tall. Probably, I bet. I'm 6'6, yes, I can dunk.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 15, 2008 -> 05:59 PM) I challenge anyone to find a picture of Garland looking that happy in a Sox uni. Usually, it was this: http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0aUe7jrguv6o2/340x.jpg 2005 ALCS Game 2 against his very own Angels...

The 1st at bat of this game will likely feature the 2 pieces who were part of the off-season deal. Let's see who comes out on top tonight.

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 15, 2008 -> 03:13 PM) It would be nice to add his name to this list Luis Aparicio, Gary Peters, Tommie Agee, Ron Kittle, Ozzie Guillen, ? I believe he has to much MLB experience to join that list. His time has passed.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ May 15, 2008 -> 11:55 AM) I drink Jarritos the most. I prefer tamarindo but my family usually buys both the mandarina and tararindo ones. The southeast side has a ton of corner stores with Mexican owners and I absolutely love Jarritos. The limon and mandarina ones are my favorite. Oh, and it's STILL pop.

I bought an NBA official breakaway rim today and a universal mounting bracket for my backboard. I'm excited.

QUOTE (Wanne @ May 15, 2008 -> 12:37 PM) What's funny is listening to all the DBack fans out here b****ing right now about getting rid of him (for a minor leaguer) and giving Byrnes a big contract. Cracks me up. D-Backs fans b**** about Quentin. Phillies fans b**** about Floyd. Rangers fans have long b****ed about Danks. KW does thing right once in a while.

It's pop. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong. Period.

CQ isn't going anywhere in my fantasy leagues.

I think this is the same error that happened to my last computer. The fan was not properly connected and screwed down over the processor causing the computer to be very unpredictable.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ May 14, 2008 -> 10:46 PM) I watched Juno tonight...it was ok I guess...the girl was rather annoying... I just watched it the other night as well, and similarly, I didn't think it was anything spectacular. It was pretty entertaining, nothing great.

QUOTE (The Beast @ May 14, 2008 -> 11:05 PM) Why do you need to keep me out of this thread? I'm not talking about drinking right now. I think everyone here can agree it would just be best if you refrained from posting. My question is, why do you keep reading/responding to this thread if you don't drink and disrespect people who do?

QUOTE (mr_genius @ May 14, 2008 -> 11:52 PM) Rally Quentin?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 14, 2008 -> 11:48 PM) Carlos Quentin. He is very good. Someone posted this on Cheats site. http://www.southsidesox.com Avatar. Done.

QUOTE (tommy @ May 14, 2008 -> 11:44 PM) Huge credit goes to Jose Contreras, great game tonight. What do you guys think of Mike Scioscia, deciding to intentionally walk AJP? I was following on Gameday and when I read it, I literally said out loud "They're intentionally walking AJ to get to Quentin?"

.293 BA, 10 HR, 34 RBI, .401 OBP, .586 SLG, sexiest player in the league. Gotta give it up. Well done (so far) KW!
