Capn12

I was waiting for the part in the story where Grady leaves the gas pump in the team bus for too long and the whole place explodes.

And one more of my future wife....

Thora Birch, one of my personal favorites....heres another.... My Southern Belle...

BJ, I'm right there with ya man. Actually her AND Thora Birch. But if 'Prozac Nation' ever comes out, Christina will be giving us all a shot of her 'splendor'. Heres one of the aformentioned Thora Birch. Hard to believe that she was the little red headed bratty child in Hocus Pocus!!

Could you have imagined that Koch woulda struggled this mightily coming into the 2003 season? No one but apparently Billy Beane could have. Its real easy to sit back and say it was a mistake now having seen this past season play out. But I loved the deal at the time, knowing Foulke may not have even had a shot as the closer for us with KWs dislike of him.

OK DAMNIT!!! I get the point!! I was wrong!! Na, sorry...just messin with ya . True, the BB/IP for Cotts tells a large portion of the story.

You aren't in that boat alone, CS1. I said 3 years ago that when the Olsen Twins hit 18, they are gonna be some SERIOUS trouble for their parents. And I have no problem being the root of that trouble if needed!!

Only if I can make a Beat-Box. Pffft-chink-pffft-pffft-chink....

Agreed SS2K3, and I have long thought that I was in the minority of those that thought Damaso is too good of a Set-up man to make him closer. If that happened, then we have no one consistent enough to bridge us to the closer.

Hmm, you learn something everyday. I thought it was a play on words of the Australian phrase, Bonzer!, as in "Great!" Looks like I was wrong. Mark it down, cause it doesnt happen much.

"Damn Windows 98...get me Bill Gates in here now!!!.......I thought you said Windows 98 was gonna be faster?" "It is, its over......." BLAM!!

How ironic would it be if Billy goes to more of a changeup pitcher to get outs, when our last closer, who had arguably the best Changeup of anyone in baseball, was driven off because our GM wanted a power closer.....makes me kinda laugh

Thats a pretty sad statement there, considering who was in it. Clooney will always be one of my favorites for one movie alone......Oceans FREAKIN Eleven. I watch that movie all the time. Clooney better watch it, if it bombs, thats 2 Busts in consecutive years with Solaris. And Zeta-Jones...well, seems to me like her looks could save any movie, but apparently not judging by what you are saying...

Well, I agree, and I think that Billy is already preparing to face that possibility. He stated that he started to work on his off-speed pitches more. I love Billys work ethic, and I know that if it means he has to go Trevor Hoffman style, and learn to use breaking pitches to get the last outs of a game, then by all means thats what he'll do.

Seems like Majewski is regressing bigtime right now...and I too don't believe that Miles will ever really be a MLB quality player, just one of those good stories you hear about in the Minor Leagues. Kinda like the one I always remember.... in 1992 the Greenville Braves, my local team, were in the Southern League Playoffs after completing a 100-43 season, best in AA in quite sometime, maybe ever. They had a pitcher named Mike Hostetler. Grady Little was the manager...YES, that Grady Little. Hostetler went out in the PLayoffs and threw a no-hitter that got the G-Braves to the Championship series. Earlier that year, a friend and I drove to Birmingham from Anderson,SC....why? to see the one and only Dan Pasqua who was on a rehab assignment there. After the game, we stopped to get gas and whos in there? Grady Little. He knew us from Greenville(I went to EVERY home game from 1992-1994). He asked us if we drove all the way down to see the baseball game, and saked if we were headed back. Unfortunately we had to go back. He asked us if we wanted to stay at the team hotel, they had some open rooms due to players that were hurt that didn't make the trip. Sorry if I rambled on, just rehashing some of the Minor League memories I have, and I have LOTS more.

Not sure that Gordon: a) will return to this team considering he can go to a number of teams for more $$$ and B) I don't have much confidence in the arm of Flash Gordon being able to survive 2 straight years of great ability. Thats a numerous surgically repaired arm. With that being said, I have the utmost confidence in Billy coming back righted in ST, and hopefully Coop and the trainers told him to not even pick up a baseball until February 2004. I don't want him to throw a ball for 4 months.

The main numbers I'm watching for Cottsy is the all-important K/BB ratio. I would love to see it at 3:1, hell, I'll even take 2:1 for starters.

Nah, not pointless...made me think of something in the general topic of cheesy movies that made me laugh. I don't know if it was just me, or if others feel the same, but EVERY time I used to watch MST3K(Mystery Science Theatre 3000 for those not in the know), I used to find myself laughing non-stop. That, to me, is some DAMN funny stuff. Everytime I noticed something about the movie they were watching that made me think something, sure enough Joel/Mike and the robots said the same thing. Ah, I miss that show...still comes on at 9 AM on Saturday mornings on Sci-Fi.

Thanks for the mention! My fav name is AssHat Sox Fan When I first saw that I busted out laughing. Was the same for me when I first saw Cy Young Porzio....

Hmmm...one of my favorites would have to be.... MartePartay Theres also AsshatSoxfan, OfficerKarkovice, and my all time favorite... Capn12....thats pure genius there....and that guy always posts the most intelligent things on here.

Maybe the first time EVER that the words "Bea Arthur" and "fine bod" were used in same sentence.

Wow....you all sure do get worked up over not too much....this...its just a Message Board. None of us have to sit in front of each other and debate whether 1 member called another member something.....honestly, I have no clue whats goin on, and probably better to keep it that way. Visit the boards, post on whatever you want, limit the "no, youre a dumbass" type posts, and the Soxtalk boards will keep on a runnin.....No need for a new Daytime Soap Opera on here.

Maybe for Maggs....yeah, I know to some it sounds ridiculous, but we would save 14 mill, and I'd LOVE to have a stud in the OF that is so young, with playoff experience!!! It would also mean maybe we could actually keep alot of the rest of the team.

Hmmm....morning? I'll use that term figuratively, considering I work 2nd shift at out hospital in town. Being so, I leave work at midnight, go to gym until 2 AM, play a little Everquest until 6 or 7 AM, then hit the bed. So, with that being said, my "morning" begins around 3 PM. Wake up between 3 and 3:15 PM. Look around, think of potential ways to sleep 5 more minutes. Grab towel and wash cloth and throw them in the bathroom Start hot water i shower, it takes a good 60-90 seconds to actually get hot Honor the best nation around......urination. Jump in the shower Get out of shower, deodorize, cologne, hair brushing Brush teeth Hit the orange Listerine (Whoa, that burns) Shave the rogue facial hairs Flush toilet Get Dressed (Socks, then Pants, then shirt, then hat, then shoes) Grab Cell phone, wallet, keys Open, re-lock and close door I'm on my way
