Joey Zasa's last tarantela

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 13, 2009 -> 06:35 AM) I think Larry Lester's Buns would be a good name for an 80s cover band. Brilliant. Honorable mention to Hot Beef Injection and Johnson's Underpants.

Galloping Ghost Grange groaning in the grave tonight.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 03:02 PM) We could bug the youngins and quote obscure Breakfast Club references all day. Of course, we don't have to do it out in the street. We can runaway and we can go to the ocean, we can go to the country, we can go to the mountains. we could go to Israel, Africa.. . . Afghanistan. . . ?. . . Nice. Anyone ever try to tape your buns together?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 11, 2009 -> 09:57 AM) Carl, don't be a goof. I'm making a serious point here. .. Nice BC reference. You're awesome. Glad someone caught it. I am really beginning to feel old.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be John Lennon.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 03:30 PM) Nicknames happen. Give him a chance to play and show his personality. How about Pokey, I kind of like Pokey.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 12:57 PM) Olivo as a backup catcher? Coco Crisp in CF? Thoughts? I think Guillen had a problem with Olivo but I can not recall for certain. The guy still has a gun and would be a great defensive replacement late in games but I do not see it happening. I really would love to see Flowers get another year of practice down in the minors rather than be a DH/C/PH all season. Supposedly Buddy Bell has made some great strides in improving the minor league system from a player development standpoint and Flowers' big strides as a catcher are part of the early results.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 04:21 PM) Quickly see Jim is on his game today. Quite skipping Q!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 04:18 PM) Nah. Don't bother. Okeedokee.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 04:16 PM) Lemme tell you the guy was always a great drummer, and held his own on vocals and writing until Hackett left. Maybe I need to revisit the genesis of Genesis.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 04:07 PM) Genesis could have been up there if not for the 1980s. How can anyone enjoy the sound of Phil Collins?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 03:57 PM) ABBA will be high in the results. Basie, Bix Beiderbecke and big bands with bass and brass are more my style

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 01:44 PM) Keep pulling you back in! Best line from the worst Godfather. Loved I and II (especially the late John Cazale as Fredo). Liked III okay but Sofia Coppola really stole the show in the worst way.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 01:35 PM) I had the pleasure of doing that with the infamous McDonald's thread (aka Grimace ate my balls) a while back. I was scared of us. Just when I thought I was out...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 3, 2009 -> 02:37 PM) Eventually he will figure this internets out. From what I learned on my vacation in Alaska, the internets are is a series of tubes.

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 3, 2009 -> 10:36 AM) breakfast was sweet potato pancakes with a hint of cinnamon and pure maple syrup. Can you IM the recipe to me?

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Nov 2, 2009 -> 09:46 AM) 83. He's actually one of the most important figures in early baseball history. I learned a lot about him from a class I took in college. I might be mistaken, but wasn't he even more instrumental in segregation of the major leagues than Judge Landis?

Every once in a while, we get a rainy Halloween like this year is shaping up to be, but can not recall snow in the past 30 plus years.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Oct 28, 2009 -> 01:46 PM) This guy here is dead! Cross him off, then!

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 25, 2009 -> 11:04 PM) Meh, Phillies and Yankees. Yawn. No kidding. I was looking for an all LA series but at least the games shouldn't keep us up too late.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 25, 2009 -> 10:04 PM) Karl constantly tells the story of Homer's game winning HBP Lenny supposedly got hurt at the plant. Oh no, not Lenny!

One other thing to consider is that most of GB's competition for the award is coming from pitchers versus position players. There is a slightly higher number of position players voting for the award versus pitchers. Many everyday players would have a hard time voting for a pitcher over a position player for any award. Along the same lines, the pitchers may be more inclined to vote for a pitcher, but with more competition, the ROY pitcher candidates split the pitching vote. Thus, GB has an advantage in the Sportin' News' vote.

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 16, 2009 -> 06:16 PM) My grandma doesn't know what the internet is. My grandpa turns 97 in a few days and is actually pretty in tune with the internet and frequently sends email. To make it to 97 and be as alert as he is, you pretty much have to embrace the changes around you.
