I am willing to bet that was the SoxTalk crew with the Pauly chant...

I'm listening to Dane Cook's newest skit called "Retaliation" and it it quite hilarious.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 02:48 PM) Mexico has a lot of support in Germany... They are probably only behind the Netherlands, Brazil, and Argentina in fan support, numbers wise.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 02:33 PM) Average or mediocre. There's too many damn stats to prove to many damn points. There will also always be a group of people who will defend him with their lives. Mainly because he has a cute little ass. You totally addes that yourself.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 02:14 PM) Did Mexico/Angola start yet? Jes.

QUOTE(tigerfan @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 02:08 PM) Indeed, won the division that year too I do believe. This is true.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 02:02 PM) Because he's using splits and HRs and RBIs aren't going to be all that useful when talking about American League pitchers (with the exception of Vazquez). Very true.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 01:57 PM) bored? here's a suggestion... get a job or get some friends. I start working next Friday and I do have friends. Who goes out at 2 in the afternoon?

What wrong with the good ole' "Avg: ____ OBP: _____ HR _____ RBI _____." ?

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 01:37 PM) Watching Contreas hit is really funny. He really has no idea whats going. Bmac looks like one of those cardboard stand ups I think Buerhle really likes to bat, but he is not very good. Garland and Cotts actually look natural up there and if they got more plate apperances they would probably be ok. CLiff Politte though is the man. Example last year. He is also a world class base runner. I recall that game vs the Rockies very well. Clutch hitting by a reliever. Good times.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 01:36 PM) Hey, fixed that for ya.

Not to hijack his thread but I'm uber bored and am currently taking requests. Let me know what you want and I'm on it. If some of you have the same requests, let me know and I can fill those in too.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 01:24 PM) Let's have some Pods perspective here. OBP this year: .343 OBP last year: .351 SB this year: 21/28 (75%) SB last year: 59/82 (72%) So... the guy has almost the say OBP, WHILE he is in a slump, as last year. And his SB's are at a higher success rate than last year. What exactly is the problem again? He is not god.

I want to see Jenks hit. But then again I don't.

435 just doesnt seem like a good measurement. It had to be over 450.

For the sake of possibly jumping into 1st place, I say Go Cubs. Makes me a bit nausious. (sp)

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 12:10 PM) Now, what constitutes being a homer? Liking 2 different color Sox.

Even so, after redandwhite had posted his opinion, you replied with the comment you did, and it was uncalled for: "Ahhh, couldnt find anything negative about the trade, so you had to try and take a pot shot at the way Ozzie uses his pen? Nice work."

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 12:07 PM) Actually I didnt. If you would like to see who did, I would suggest scrolling back a few pages See my edit.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 12:04 PM) You mean this Soxfan? Sounds like a personal remark that had no relevance in the thread at all. This is what started it. Well, I believe it was you who said something like "How long until redandwhite comes in an says that this was the best trade the Red Sox ever made and how David Riske sucks?" I mean, you called him out. EDIT: My apologies Rock, that was in fact SSI who called him out.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 12:03 PM) oh oh jr has come in and taken leadership Haha. I'm just trying to be the peaceful voice. There's no point in ganging up on redandwhite. Yes, he is a fan of both teams. That doesn't make his opinion any less important than anyone elses.

So, what was the point of calling out redandwhite in this thread? Oh yeah, thats right, there is no point. Grow up guys. Both of you could be 5'5 and weigh 300 pounds, so who the f*** cares. There is no point in assuming redandwhite would defend the trade from the Red Sox stand point. He made his opinion clear, get off his f***ing back.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 09:46 AM) Wow 6-0. This is awful for Serbia. Thats what happens when your team quits after 1 half and your team stops playing. It was emberassing. Pitiful. Petkovic needs to be fired. Absolutely horrible game plan. Right now, I am emberassed of my team and my country.

The one thing that Pods does is see a lot of pitches. Thats his plan when he is up there. See as many pitches as possible, try to get on base and make a difference, then get to the dugout and tell the team what the pitcher's got. Thats the job of a leadoff hitter.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 11:06 PM) Do you have like a small local paper near you? All that I did was talked to the sports editor here in town, and asked him if there were any odd jobs or errand jobs around the paper I could look into. He said no, but like 2 weeks later, he got in contact with me. Knowing that I had written for 3 years in HS, he said there was an opportunity for me to write and cover baseball and softball. 32 stories and a year later, I was invited back for this past summer and am now asked to cover not only baseball and softball, but local events as well. Make yourself known. That's the BEST thing you can do for yourself, and I assume you already know that. Haha, the only small local newspapers are La Raza (some Mexican paper) and PennySaver. I'm shooting for the bigs from the get-go. I don't have the privelege of living in Ames, Iowa. One of the reasons I am strongly considering University of Minnesota is because if you take the Journalism program, you actually write for the Minnesota Daily in the Twin Cities. Only thing is that I have to take the written portion of the ACT to get in and I dont feel like doing it.
