shipps

Even though the Wins havent quite been there so far I am feeling really encouraged. 1. Because I think the bullpen is going to be really good for the Sox this year. And it will likely get better by later additions of young arms or another key trade before the ASB. That keeps you in things alone. 2. Mostly the whole lineup has greatly underachieved so far. They will get better. 3. Abreu is going to put up manly numbers sooner rather than later. 4. Eaton will come out of this funk and provide a lift to the offense, I hope. The lead off spot is sooo freaking important as we have come to know over the years and when he comes around the whole lineup will likely come around. 5. Rodon will be here soon to replace Noesi in the rotation.

He mouthed the words to his girlfriend "be strong" after the verdict was read. I still get the feeling this guy thinks he is invincible. In fact I know he thinks that he is.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 09:45 AM) To me one part of that is really faulty. The Sox have always been an aggressive team on the basepaths. So then why was he brought in again? It wasn't to enlighten the masses with knowledge so they can be smarter at base-running apparently.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 09:46 AM) It scares me that it had so many production problems and squabbles but that new trailer looks kinda cool. I havent seen the new trailer yet but the first one reeeeeeeaallly had me worried. I love Paul Rudd in comedies but I cant see him as a superhero. I have my fingers crossed because I want to like this movie.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 09:38 AM) Carrasco is ok. He's starting Monday against the Sox. Good. Bring it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 09:40 AM) Unless players are running through stop signs and without signs, they aren't getting that from Vince Coleman. Yes they might be. Not directly but if he is pushing this overly aggressive mind set from the start of ST and thats what they are always trying to do to be aggressive that is a product of Coleman.

Why didnt the Yankees keep him? It seems like he would have been the perfect transition into another good run of a closer post-Rivera.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 09:10 AM) I am sure Vince Coleman told the players to run into outs on the bases... Obviously he didn't but its apparent that he has brought a philosophy of being EXTREMELY aggressive on the base paths no matter what the situation and the team is trying run with it. It may become an issue if they ultimately wind up not believing in it anymore after they keep failing with that mind set. Then they will be in between and all jacked up. I just dont see why they havent eased into the aggressiveness and learned to walk before they go into a full out sprint.

Once again, very encouraged by the revamped pen.

What the hell? It's been a week and we have been out on the base paths how many times already? There is some really ugly baseball on the base paths and I'm not sure if it's just because of the transition to the Coleman philosophy or what.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 11:16 AM) He's not the best pass rusher. He's a 5 technique. Beasley/Fowler/Ray/Gregory/Dupree are the pass rushers Is that your opinion? Everything I have read about Williams is that he is the most versatile defense lineman in the draft and that his strength would be to playing upright going downhill.

Remember how Garland was awful at throwing to first on bunts or soft grounders. It was really funny like he didnt know how to play the game of baseball.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 10:36 AM) Everyone still thinks Winston will go #1. It's just due diligence. Bears have met with like every top 10 guy other than Leonard Williams so far. Interesting that they didnt meet with the best pass rusher as part of due diligence.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 08:26 PM) LOL, small world. I frequent that area when I'm in the suburbs. My gym, liquor store and all things car (gas, tires, shop) are all around that 143rd and Bell intersection. Very cool. No cook county taxes make all those things a lil cheaper and its nice and clean out here too. They have actually developed the area with more businesses since we moved out here 2 years ago and its still growing by the day it seems.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 10:30 AM) Bears meeting with Winston tomorrow. Why? LOL

He is fine. He is a guy who may press a little bit and try to do too much.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 04:09 PM) LOL, yes sir it is. Good guys over at that Discount Tire. I live right down the street from there. Its weird because I always feel like I live on a different continent living all the way out there so when I hear someone mention they were in the area my ears perk up and its like "Hey I live there you should have came on over!!!"

Tillman is an all time favorite Bear. Because of the player he was on the field and off. Just an awesome guy.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 09:05 AM) It Follows was one of the better horror movies I've seen in a while. Loved the score as well. I cant make up my mind whether or not I loved that movie or hated it. I loved a lot of elements to the movie like the musical score that made you feel uncomfortable. It had a classic feel with not showing a ton of blood and guts but still being horror. Plus it wasnt full blown demonic like all the other crappy movies out now. But then there were some points in the movie where I am thinking about the actual story and the writing and I am like THIS MOVIE IS SO f***ING STUPID. And hearing other people after this was the main theme of how they felt. People hated it.

Congrats Gage. Get ready for the "I am going crazy moments" when both of the kids are crying or throwing tantrums or are on a sugar high at the same time.

I will say that the most encouraging thing has been Robertson and Duke so far. Getting it done.

Fire Steverson...

I know the Sox arent this bad. It will get better.

Its 2-0. Lets put up a crooked number

I want to have fun already..... cmooon...
