QUOTE (greg775 @ May 12, 2012 -> 07:11 PM) He's wild as hell. He's around the zone...it's not like he's throwing it to the f***ing backstop.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 12, 2012 -> 07:09 PM) Better get somebody up. He's not right. Oh get out...he's fine...

Hawk really despises walks...

Ump, you're responsible for calling strikes and balls...

I'm strapping it down...

Crack open the PBRs!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 12, 2012 -> 06:57 PM) Any update on 1st pitch? Looks like a few minutes...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 11, 2012 -> 09:31 PM) Probably have to include Morel to give them someone with a shot at beig their 3b replacement. Will Middlebrooks.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 11, 2012 -> 09:06 PM) Weird to think our biggest pitching weakness now is a pitcher who threw a perfect game 3 weekends ago. I'm blaming the kid for that.

Jeff Manto looks like he could be Brent Morel's dad.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 11, 2012 -> 08:02 PM) Hawk made a great point that our best possible lineup is with Beckham batting 2nd. And if Alex is going to hit behind Dunn/Konerko, he's going to hit with a lot of men on base.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 11, 2012 -> 07:57 PM) Beckham and Rios couldn't have had more similar hits this inning. And they are both such huge keys to our offense.

Ah luv Alex

QUOTE (fathom @ May 11, 2012 -> 08:24 PM) Hawk has been calling Escobar by the name De Aza quite a few times this year. I think it's just because he's a lefty at the end of he lineup where there usually isn't one.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 11, 2012 -> 08:11 PM) Well, they have to do SOMETHING about Morel/Escobar. They can't bring up Kuhn or Corey Smith. Lillibridge I guess is the only option, but he hasn't shown much offensively, except for his stolen bases. Someone in Texas royally screwed up. Darvish and CJ Wilson both started and then that game's in danger of being a really long rain delay (in the bottom of the 1st) and both starters scrubbed. Didn't you hear we're trading for Youkilis?

Can anyone tell me what rate they were able to negotiate with SiriusXM for their premium package? My trial will be ending soon and I was curious to know what others have gotten done...

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 10, 2012 -> 10:59 PM) I'm going to laugh when the Red Sox fire Bobby Valentine at the end of the season proving once and for all that the inmates are running the asylum in Boston. You just look at how the veterans on that team act and you can tell that Valentine is getting absolutely no respect. Cherington hired him, so the best thing he could do to show the players that he has his manager's back would be to trade a veteran. Sooo he can just flip Youkilis to the Sox for Morel and Stewart and we'll call it even, and then those players in Boston will REALLY know whose boss. Couldn't agree more.

I hate off days... We need to have some sort of message board game we can play on off days to overcome the boredom...

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 10, 2012 -> 06:18 AM) Songs is hoping to get back on line next month, but the nrc is rejecting any timelines right now. Yeah, I don't think it's going to happen...they've gone from having an issue with what they thought was about a dozen tubes to about 1,300 tubes...if they don't get that thing on in July/August, the CAISO will be juggling the ability to produce enough var support to support importing the power they need, keeping the lights on, and relieving congestion.

It could be another wild summer in California...we are hearing potential rolling blackouts... Link

QUOTE (Jake @ May 9, 2012 -> 07:39 PM) Dunn this year is actually better than the Dunn I thought we signed. I knew what he was based on stats, but the threat is REALLY there to go yard every single at bat and swing. He's a fearsome dude. I don't think pitchers are thinking about those big K numbers when they pitch to him anymore. Shhhhhhhh

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 9, 2012 -> 05:52 PM) I've seen pics of Steve in a bikini and I felt nauseous for 3 days afterward. Yeah, but he says he trims more regularly now...

Can we get back to eating human baby pills? I think it poses an interesting question as to whether biologically correct but taboo behaviors should ever be legally or morally acceptable...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 9, 2012 -> 03:31 PM) Hey seriously, join the 21st century. I would be hard-pressed to find anyone more devoted to their wife than I, and I don't need some bulls*** deity to tell me not to cheat on her. Still waiting on those bikini pictures, btw...

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 9, 2012 -> 04:16 PM) Theres a difference between ones that make money and ones that make friends/family for life. Best way someone put it to me back in the day when i was looking at puppies. You are almost extended family to good breeders, others you are a paying customer. Indeed...I have two Danes from the same breeder...speak/text/email them at least weekly...we share pictures, information, experiences, etc...I picked up my second dog personally in Ohio (keep in mind I live in Vegas) and met them and all their dogs...brought my first dog back to meet his mom and dad again... Now I would never recommend someone NOT adopt a dog from a shelter; in fact, I have one I adopted back in November. But I would never think twice to buy another dog from a great breeder either.
