QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 07:22 AM) Did anyone else think it was strange that sex with a girl specifically was mentioned? Anything that starts with Jackson is strange. I get weirded out just looking at him. He is freakishly grotesque at this point.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 02:02 AM) I cannot understand how anyone can say the Sox have mistreated Jamie Burke. This is a guy who spent about 10 years kicking around the minors and the Sox gave him his only extended opportunity to play major league baseball. Damn. I wish someone would mistreat me like that. The Sox dropped Burke off the 40 man roster just before Soxfest. The poor mistreated guy had no other option but to sign a minor league contract with the same team that had mistreated him. Someone had to have been holging a gun to his head. There is no need to keep Burke on the team for his versatility. We have three capable guys that can play 3B much better than Burke can dream about. We have a solid starting 1B and a very capable backup that is very good with the glove and hits from the opposite side as the starter. So, it boils down to catching skills and offensive production as to who stays with team as a backup to AJ. Widger wins the battle over Burke and Davis. But, it's good to know some people here are so much smarter than the baseball professionals who have been down in AZ watching these guys perform. Well hell YASNY we wouldn't need these boards if the guys watching knew to make the right decisions. Plus, I thought they came here for their ideas BTW, let's remember these are the same guys with all the World Series plaques in their offices One small note. This is like picking the prettiest gal at 2:30 am. Widger is so solid he wasn't even in organized ball last year. Burke is a career minor leager. Davis hasn't lived up to expectations. None of these guys is a starter anywhere else in baseball. Great guys one and all. All catchers are. That is the coolest position.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 05:03 PM) Right now I've got it narrowed to Stiletto and Black Betsy. I'm thinking that it will be Black Betsy. She's been home for about 2 hours and hasn't tried to run away or hide under furniture (always a good sign for any budding relationship)--and she's even come up to snuggle and get petted. Stiletto? I don't like the name for a cat but I love how you think

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 04:46 PM) Hall of Fame second baseman formely of the Chicago Cubs. I only see NL teams in the World Series, did he ever appear??

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 01:37 PM) Ditto. I could never stand Getty Lee's voice. Think fingernails on a chalkboard. I prefer Rush the band . . . better social commentary

Yawn, we have a long way to go to get to the point where backup catcher is meaningful. If AJ goes down, it's over. We need each starter to play 140-160 games to have a chance.

He didn't ask anyone what to do with those groupies?? I guess Tito was taking care of the groups bizness

It seems like Burke is always getting the s*** end of the stick. I've always liked the guy. But then again, I was really sad to see Sandy get tossed out with the garbage.

Too Candian, you need to relax and travel a carefree highway

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 12:56 PM) The spin of the ball is the opposite, and it throws players. Some can handle it, many can't. Also LF is usually your weakest arm, as they want someone in RF who can stop a runner from going from 1st to 3rd on a basehit. I understood a guy being left only, but right only? Isn't the spin the same, I guess it's the perspective that is different.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 12:40 PM) That's all right, we'll get to laugh in August when it is 100 degrees and humid everyday. you talking to me 100 is the morning wake up temperature, then it gets hot. I loved the games in really crappy weather. The best people stick around during 2 hour rain delays and blizzards.

I was looking at a couple teams depth charts and started wondering, if you have the arm to play right, why can't a guy play left? It seems like such and easy switch, yet not many guys do.

What realistically would make Sox fans happy? A solid hitting, MLB ready, third baseman After that I don't see anything we would make an upgrade at. We traded for or signed via free agency the guys starting in Left, Right, Second, Catcher, and basically 3/5 of the starting staff since last year. Kong is a legit All-Star prospect at 1st and A-Row could be in Center.

QUOTE(winodj @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 12:23 PM) Would this be the point in time where I say it distresses me that many many states allow incest but don't allow same sex couples in love to enter the same responsibilities and rights through a marriage or civil union? Yeah, I think it is. They don't allow first cousin same sex marriages either. Isn't that fair and balanced?
