Opposing team HR's at the cell? My son guessed Thome as an Indian.

Just gotta laugh and smile.

I like hearing Nancy in the background. Memories...

How many real hits have they had?

Ok, totally and completely unfounded, but it seemed like Ramirez was totally focused last year. I just gotta wonder if something else is having an effect on his head this year. New country, lots o' money, ...

He hasn't gotten THAT big of a corner.

No rest for MB after a VERY frustrating inning.

WilliamTell, since it's a commercial, who's in the picture with your posts? EvilJester, yours?

Ouch. Any ground ball to the left side... 2 runs, no real hits.

I was listening on XM to Rangers radio announcers and they said it looked to them as if he was "coming apart" for the first time in his brief stint there. Just FWIW...

Danman- The best answers are the shortest. Yours is the best. CalisoxFan- You understand.

I'll use my 1st post, after years of just reading, to say... Albert Belle.

First topic (or even post) for me... Sox fan all my 47 years, though. Anyway, the death spiral began last year at the break. I do want to dredge up the past enough to try to get an answer to the biggest question on my simple mind. We had the best record in baseball a year ago, then somebody flipped the switch and it's been getting worse ever since. It was SO sudden for half #2 last year, carried through spring training, and (obviously) continues to worsen to this day. What happened? My thought- KW needs to give MB his 5y contract and water the tarp before it is removed every game and encourage MB to go flop on it. Team's not been the same since the no-tarp-flopping edict. No fun.

Personally, I expect and even enjoy the homerism. Feels like I'm sitting with a fellow fan. I hate the canned phrases and synchronized "yes." When it becomes a performance without thought, it loses its value. It's kind of like profanity. If one uses it all the time, every third word, it loses its impact when its really appropriate. Just my $.02.

Thanks! Joined reently and appreciate the wallpapers.
