Naomi Banxxx I would not stray outside of pornographic films

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 30, 2013 -> 08:08 AM) It happened with Mackowiak and Alex Cintron. Let's face it, this guy may be around a couple of weeks at most, but they need a RH bat and there is slim pickings in Charlotte. I think people were interested in Cintron only because of the one good year he had. I don't think anyone was calling for him to be acquired at the time that he was. Mackowiak I would agree with.

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 10:50 PM) I'm searching for a light at the end of the tunnel, but all I see is a 55% strikeout rate. But but, he's only 19 duuuude! So you've already decided that he's terrible based on 82 plate appearances, everything else bedamned? Glad to hear. I don't think anybody really considers Mitchell a prospect any more. Highly talented and likely to make it to the majors at some point, but his contact ability is far too poor.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 30, 2013 -> 06:58 AM) Wow, how often does the that people ask for, actually happen? Happened with Adam Dunn too.

If Skip Bayless made a watermelon and fried chicken joke about an African-American person, how long do you think it would take ESPN to suspend him? About 3 seconds?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 03:08 PM) The part that really rubbed e wrong is when he invoked Westboro. That comparison just doesnt work. Like I said, would he say "if you believe in Allah, then you are clearly a terrorist?" Of course he'd never say that. but because someone might believe homosexuality, you are clearly like Westboro. I agree with what you are saying completely.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 03:10 PM) Yeah that's a weird one. I don't get it. Even if you do get hit on, I don't understand why some guys get all hot and bothered by it. To me it's just, "I'm flattered, but I don't swing that way." It's an easier let down than for an unattractive woman! This is how I feel too. I had a gay friend come up to me and tell me I looked great one night in college and I just said "Hey thanks man, I really appreciate it." It wasn't weird at all.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 03:10 PM) I let myself get dragged into a Tebow debate on Twitter. I am a failure. Now see, that's dumb.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 01:52 PM) Being a Google News site is amazing. The traffic is nuts. BOOM SHAKA LAKA

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 03:01 PM) Relief pitching can be a crap shoot and as a Sox fan I think we know that better than most. Look at Nate Jones last year. Look at Donnie Veal. We saw it with a Randy Williams a few years back. Erick Threets anyone? Who had expected them to be a force in the pen let alone on the team. If Purcey can give us a month of a sub 3 ERA he is making us a better team. All I am saying is I would rather have another left handed option (with Veal scuffling and Thornton years past his hay day) than Duente Heath or a useless Tekotte. Oh I understand, I just think it's funny. The only position that may be more volatile in all of sports is a place kicker.

ESPN fired Tim Hardaway over homophobic remarks, I think it's time they do the same for Broussard. He is like Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayless rolled into one.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 02:00 PM) I think it has to be Purcey. With Santiago moving to the rotation we now have two rather weak lefties in the pen. Better 3 weak lefties than 2, eh?

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 12:51 PM) I'll never ubderstand the Boras hatred. He makes millions for his clients, exactly what I would want in an agent. I personally don't hate him, I just think he's a giant douche. He cries poor and unfair when the rules don't work to his advantage, but he never sympathized when he was raking teams over the coals and his clients were underperforming. This system minimizes risk for owners and he does not like that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 12:36 PM) I think I outline that pretty well, and Tebow himself could be an effective gadget player if he was in the TE or RB role, but he's shown no willingness to take that position. Then he is the reason he's failed. I wasn't considering him as solely a QB - I agree that would fail pretty regularly - but if you can slide him into an H-Back type of role where he plays all around the offense, he can become an effective weapon. He can still throw the football out of those spots, and then you can more effectively run a Wildcat or read option with him too.

Yeah, I didn't get the from the context either. It seems this was something to make peace and comfort within himself.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 08:18 AM) Teddy Greenstein ‏@TeddyGreenstein 4m ESPN's Bill Polian essentially says that ESPN is a reason some teams won't sign Tebow. Too much of a distraction. It really is too bad, because he could be a really nice gadget player in the NFL, but any team he signs with, ESPN is immediately going to ask why he isn't playing more and when he will start.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 06:19 AM) Might want to check your "facts". They had winning records in April in '93, '00, '05, and '08. The last time they made the playoffs with a losing record in April was '83, and they were actually 20-25 after May of that year. They went 46-15 over the last 2 months.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Apr 27, 2013 -> 12:56 PM) I absolutely love the 49ers draft. They are cleaning up. If Lattimore is able to recover from that knee injury he will be a monster for San Francisco. The Rams are doing work too. I think you have to say that San Fran wins simply because they've added even more next year, but both of them have been awesome.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 26, 2013 -> 09:57 PM) Wonder if reports on Barkley's arm aren't good. Was hurt, wasn't he? His arm wasn't that good to begin with. He's strictly a west coast guy. Hoping Nassib makes it to the Bills pick. He's worth taking with a 4th.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Apr 26, 2013 -> 05:46 PM) QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 26, 2013 -> 05:18 PM) Anybody know what Dunn's TWTW is this year? You can't measure that. What about his leadership and comradery with the fellas..?? Do you have a stat for that!? Yes, his LIA metric (Leadership is Awesome) is actually above average at 1.42, while his JOR rating (Jumping on Roofs - it's my personal favorite way of measuring camaraderie) is down at 6.8 because nobody likes to hang out with a guy who strikes out that much.

Anybody know what Dunn's TWTW is this year?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 26, 2013 -> 03:24 PM) It's hilarious. http://flapship.com/the-2013-nfl-draft-fans-experience/ I'm the funniest guy I know

I doubt it's the worst draft ever. There's just not a lot of elite talent in it. There is all kinds of depth in it though, primarily at safety and receiver.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Apr 26, 2013 -> 12:30 PM) Stats are great, but like he said (and Harold had his back on this) even with the information being there for the manager there is still an instinct and a gut feeling for THAT moment. I think sabermetrics have thier place in the game without doubt, but I don't think that you can use sabermetrics for every situation of every game. My gut instinct told me to f*** the s*** ouf a girl who I just met without a condom. The activities are different, but the concept is the same. Going with your gut occasionally gets you in trouble and is not always right.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 26, 2013 -> 11:42 AM) I think he was being sarcastic by throwing out fake stuff...I think. I don't think you know that definitively.
