I remember more his attitude. He knew he was going to win. Maybe to be a top shelf pitcher you have to be a bit of a dickead. I just found out the replacement speaker for Dibbs at the minor league All-Star Game down here is going to be Fergie Jenkins. They are selling him as an ex-Ranger pitcher.

Have at it. You've now three 'alledged' #1 pitchers, one intimidated, one who quits and one we're all waiting to see if he returns to his usual. Looks as though you've some work to do. Let's go to the way back machine. Conventional wisdom said that pitching was going to be a worry but our offense was going to carry the day Hand E-Lo's record to Mark bump a game or two to Bart and we wouldn't be complaining too much about the pitching. If we scored runs like we expected, this pitching would look pretty damn good. Confidence is lacking everywhere in this organization.

I have a hard time disagreeing. I just wish he had finished a season strong. It seemed his arm was rubber by September.

Gammons also picked Billy Botch as a reliever he wouldn't trust. Wow! He gets money for that analysis. 100 of us sit and give that same insightfull analysis for free and months earlier

My driver's ed teacher gave us some advice that rings so true. There are three "T"s to avoid when driving anything 1. Trucks 2. Trees 3. Trains I guess Jay didn't learn that. I shouldn't speculate but the stereotypical 21 year old on that Yamaha was probably learning to wheelie when he lost control.

Gotta love loop holes. BTW HR departments hate stuff like this. No way to win for them. Then they should just keep their mouths shut! There are ways to address the 200lb ladies wearing stretch pants.. they are just spineless and refuse to do it. Morons. And almost all of those ways winds up in court. If they stop the 200 pounder in a size 8 they have to stop the true size 4. Shame really that people don't have common sense and understand proper business dress.

Sorry, I forgot we can only make fun of ScRub fans I don't believe anyone was called a Hillbilly. If we do have someone on this forum who feels they are a hillbilly I appologize and congratulate you on figuring out a computer. One of my favorite bars is named Hillbillys.

If an infinite number of monkeys typed away on an infinite number of keyboards they could produce . . . Do you think we would have more or less if we were 10 games OVER .500?

My cats are named Putter and Arnie. I had a dog named Trapper. Golf and M*A*S*H

I heard he will be on the ballot for the first time this year. Last year he received 7 write in votes.

I couldn't resist.

Next game I'm teaching my son to keep score. Damn I thought I covered everything in his education.

then a player who's a pet?

CW, No my friend was not schooled in theology and yes it scares me also. He is quite the fundementalist. Still overall he's well meaning. I love debating poloitics and religion with him. One thing I've noticed with many of this type is the need to exagerate how bad their lives were before being saved.

Let's start a game thread. 1st inning. Pick a team and let's get started. Sox are home. Why don;t we use the Tigers I think we can beat them tonight.

You are correct not everyone is a hillbilly and that is ruining the sport Hell they even let a guy fom California win a race. What do they know about running from revenuers

I kow what you are saying about scorecards. As a kid I scored and collected every scorecard. I was so very sad when my mom threw them all away. I really miss the one with Ernie Banks autograph. He had hit a home run that day and I would relive the game through that scorecard. I also had the one from the first Sox game I went to after turning old enough to drink (as long as no one asked for an ID) Sounds like an awesome trip. It has me thinking of a Houston, Dallas, St. Louis, trip.

Done deal in 1/4 of a heartbeat. But that deal aint happening. Just think about it, why would anyone trade 2 stud young pitchers for a DH (Valentin) and Colon? Besides, I dont see that big of a deal ever happening between these two crosstown rivalries. I can't even think of a cross town trade that involved any starters? Has there been one?

That pic is priceless. That fan should be so proud.

Anyone name their pet after a Sox player?

What kind of seats did you have? How about a food report? How were you treated as a foreign fan?

I would hate to see the Sox lose Josh but agree he should probably look for a better opportunity.

Set your expectations low and hope the team exceeds them. Wish I had followed that advice this season.

Hmm other sponsors could include Blue Cross Blue Shield "are you covered for an accident like this" Dutch Maid Cleaner "who's going to get the s*** stain out of his suit after that crash?" Crest Whitener "We can get those brown tobacco stains off his teeth" EPT "Worried that your cousin's having your baby, find out faster than a pitstop"
