  1. No, they're monsters cause they have blow-up dolls in their locker room.
  2. But he recently helped beat the Cubs and also sleeps with Lisa Durgan.
  3. whoever does the palehose comics should make a spin-off featuring juan.
  4. Quentin for Griffey, nice. In two years I'm taking Steve Phillips to my dealership and trading in my '07 Saab 9-3 for an all new 2010 9-3 + gas for the first year.
  5. /\/\ Because it was a fair trade. Swisher's a good player in a slump. A day off is warranted, but you won't break out of a funk with an extended stay on the bench.
  6. Batty plays like that remind me of last years adventure with the Cubs.
  7. Missed the play, did he just hit it over third?
  8. It just feels like games that include a rain delay also include a half-assed offensive effort on the other side of the delay. Almost like they don't expect the game to be played and then they're taken by surprise when it is. The other team naturally pounces on this.
  9. I also picked the Reds to win this division. It can still happen.
  10. It hurts to even think about how we would be at this point if we could string together 2 runs per game. What a wonderful pitching staff. Almost makes it seem redundant to spend all that money on the bullpen if our guys are gonna go 8+ innings. (please, i know)
  11. I agree, but like Guns n' Roses once said, "Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse". This offense is enough to cancel out any fan growth 2005 may have generated. During the Sox part of an inning, they should just air the things they show during rain delays, namely '05 postseason highlights with a ticker towards the bottom of the screen letting us know who grounded out where. I seem to remember the Tigers once canning their hitting coach shortly into the season and enjoying the results. Pitching has been nice though...
  12. Cause Eckstein's got a cannon for an arm. -Green Even so, how many here were expecting anything other than a K from Jim at this point in time.
  13. QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ May 5, 2008 -> 10:47 AM) Tastes like someone put candlewax into a beer to me. It's all a mater of personal taste, but honey remains the one ingredient that I've never been a big fan of in my beers. That's horrid, but even worse is... BEEP BEEP Call 1800 5 VEHICLE give a car.org Call 1800 5 VEHICLE give a car.org Gravelly voice teacher: Ok class now take it from the top Call 1800 5 VEHICLE give a car.org Repeats mercilessly
  14. The difference with the Subway commercial is I don't know if they were going for seriousness. It was a lighthearted attempt to make you think about subway. The chill commercial features a tool reading a poem and he's as serious as thome konerko dye going 0-12 in a baseball game.
  15. Facing Doc did you really expect anything else? The previous 4 losses have been dissapointing/frustrating, this one was a given. You face a guy like Halladay or Santana and what you should be looking to do is find a way to win against their other guys.
  16. Are you talking about $5 footlongs? Cause if I had to choose between listening to that for a month straight nonstop or listening to "splittin' sides as the laughter goes rouUUNND" twice in a row I'd choose the subway. I'm an easygoing person with whom it takes much effort to piss me off. Rarely ever do actual people get to that point, but this noise pollution hit the first pitch right out of the park. *edit* i'll drink squirrel urine by the cup before one drop of this beverage enters my mouth.
  17. That miller chill commercial on the score that plays 15 times in an hour is the worst piece of media in the history of media. It would be the sad shock of a lifetime if whoever greenlighted that/was involved in the production of it are still employed by miller brewing company. There aren't words in the english language capable of describing how horrid that minute (it feels like 15 minutes) of airtime is. I feel ashamed for those involved with this abomination.
  18. Fonz redeeming himself in the 9th after yesterday's happenings was as predictable as 7 coming after 6.
  19. Hate is a strong word, but I dislike Owens. Even so, something needs to happen with this "offense" (i use the term lightly) and for a limited period of time I'd be willing to give JO an audition in the stead of Alexei, with Swish playing first while Thome/Konerko rotate based on the matchup. Ideally Anderson would find some AB's too.
  20. QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ May 1, 2008 -> 10:00 AM) That's way too much rotating for me....I'd like a little more consistency. I'd like Owens up here for a couple reasons. We can use a a lefty pinch hitter and a good pinch runner... and I'd like Ramirez to get consistent AB's in AAA. That's it. Once we start talking about Owens leading off and starting in CF...I start thinking...I'd rather him stay where he is. JMO In my vision Owens would probably start twice a week, and the continuity of that would be in direct correlation to the success he has with those limited AB's. The main reason behind this idea would be to get Swisher further down the order without having to make Quentin lead off, and giving Brontosaurus and Stegasaurus (who the f*** was Carl kidding?) time off as needed. I just think Owens would be more valuable to have than Alexei at this point, even with 1 or 2 starts a week, *but* I wouldn't bring him up here to exclusively be a pinch runner. Keep in mind I don't like Owens too much, I'm just looking for potential ways for OC to ground into less DP's per week. *Edit* And if it doesn't work, f*** it. Try to keep your head above water until Richar is good enought to come back, then banish Orlando Cintron towards the bottom of the order, save for unless he gets his s*** together like I expect him to...I like Juan for his glove and those times where he mistakenly thinks he's Babe-Rod, but I guess he would be the odd man out in the Richar scenario, unless Richar falls flat on his face (but didn't the Diamondbacks draft him?).
