QUOTE(Shadows @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 03:18 AM) I miss him already quit whining and be more pissed offed with me cuz the Sox still haven't signed Bonds

I would ask that it be mandated that when spelling "Javier" you use an "H" to begin his name. And that when you call someone a "homer" when they refer to a person who is pulling for "Javier" Vazquez, it be spelled with a "j." For example...I am a jomer for Havier Vazquez!!!

QUOTE(greg775 @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 02:29 AM) He's definitely a game one goat wouldn't you say?? No, Buehrle is; Buehrle's the one that gave up 7 runs in 1 inning.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 02:26 AM) I agree with you, why not call him a stud though? He's damn good. He's been really good over a pretty long period of time. But because he pitched for our Sox so many took him for granted. Again, one game is not a full season, but if we're serious about winning a pennant, we need 3 solid starters. Losing Garland IMO potentially wrecked our rotation. We shall see. I'm pullin for Danks n Floyd. I do agree that people have taken Garland for granted. I do wish you'd pull for Contreras too though.

QUOTE(The Beast @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 01:10 AM) Are you guys all sharing your drunk stories, come on now, seriesly? I wouldn't say they are stories, per se, but rather people coming on here, getting drunk, and then attempting to type. I usually just cruise around the boards a bit when I'm hammered, but it's no big deal.

He also has 1436.7 IP on his arm. Freddy Garcia got to 1427.3 going into the 2006 season, had a solid year, and hasn't really been the same pitcher since. That's a lot of mileage, and with a knot in his shoulder, I wouldn't trust him long-term.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 11:05 PM) I don't know about anyone else, but I'd love to bring back Garland in the offseason. Innings eater who can give you quality starts... however, he'd probably choice to sign with his hometwon Angels before anyone else. I doubt he signs a hometown discount, and I'd venture to guess he'll sign a 5-6 year deal worth $13-15 mill a year

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 10:10 PM) Not valid. You fail. No, you fail for not being able to type when drunk

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 09:58 PM) What are they? You didn't address them in your post... Yeah except for the part where I said I'm clueless in the class

QUOTE(The Beast @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 06:12 PM) I'm glad that it made you feel better and I'm also glad that your letter probably made educated, well thought out points---it makes us look better and separates us from b****y ass Cub fans. Or you can argue it shows that we care a well-played baseball game that we want called fairly for both sides. I don't see that as b****ing, I see that as stating a situation that we view as a problem. You say tomatoes, I say tomatoes

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 07:16 PM) I would also like to see Fields approach Crede's lifetime BA for one season. That would "prove" something to *me*. If you have a lesser or different standard, that's cool. Use what you feel comfortable with. If my standard bothers you, sorry. They play different games offensively. Is it fair to ask Juan Uribe to match Alex Sanchez's career average? Besides that, as Rock pointed out, it wouldn't be hard for Fields to hit .260. That would also come with more walks and more power too. Fields' upside is way, way higher than Crede's, and Crede's gone after this year. Why wouldn't you want a player who got better as the year went on and who is still getting better over a player who is coming off a back injury, has almost certainly peaked as a player, and is gone after this year anyways?

I'll miss Jon, but I won't say that's a horrible deal yet. I'll see what he does this year, the contract he signs, what Cabrera does this year, and what happens afterwards with him (whether he resigns and remains solid or if he is let go and the Sox get 2 picks for him, and then what those picks amount to).

QUOTE(R.J. @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 06:32 PM) People who take Jim Rome seriously are essentially lame. thank you

I don't think Fields has proven his true ability, because I think Fields is a .900 OPS bat at some point in the near future. I don't think Crede is ever going to get near that ever again. FWIW, Fields was on a 42 homer pace (projected over 700 PAs) in the 2nd half of last season. And, finally, I also wouldn't say Crede is an upgrade defensively at 3B right now.

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 09:23 AM) Says the guy that left the chat yesterday for a study session That's low, I am clueless in the class and I felt the karma that the Sox were going to lose anyways because they were getting f***ed. So I have legit reasons.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 04:25 PM) WTF is Oof Wah? Yep, not going to be good players and managing that take the Cubs to the World Series, it's going to be Oof Wah! That's why God hates them, and that's why they are never going to win another World Series.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 10:40 AM) They both have the same to prove, can they play like a healthy Crede for a full season at the MLB level. Can Crede do it again, can Fields do it once. I believe they both can. So the fact that Fields was nearly more productive in his 400 ABs doesn't count because it wasn't a full season? That's BS.

remember when the Sox traded Maggs for Griffey a couple years ago?

QUOTE(dasox24 @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 03:20 AM) Yeah, so tonight was Margarita Monday at he fraterintiy house and we had a great turnout... Some incredibly hot girls made it by tonight. IT was aswesome!!~ Wow, that was really hard to type... I'm so f***e dup... Edit: I just ate some kraft easy mac and it was aweosme... What a great food when drunk... Damn, I have a class at 9:40 that I probalby won't wake up for, and a test later today that I haven't studied for at all yet. I'm an idot... Margarita Monday > 9:40 class Hot girls > test That's all the studying you need to worry about

QUOTE(BearSox @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 08:55 PM) I was joking, calm down... of course I want Buehrle and the sox to do well. But I have a hard time seeing either happening over the course of the season. The ball Gutierrez hit out of the park would have been hit 3 miles had Buehrle thrown it 86 or 96. It had nothing to do with velocity today and everything to do with location. Seriously, a ball up and out over the plate? That ball gets crushed a lot.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 11:05 PM) I'm sorry, but I think the most memorable line from a baseball movie is "I have one thing to say to you....strike this mother f***er out". The similarities between Ricky Vaughn coming in and Jenks vs Bagwell in game 1 of the WS are amazing. The 2nd most is a few scenes before that when Jake goes to Dorn's house. "If you ever, EVER, tank another play like that one you did today, I'm gonna cut your nuts off and stuff 'em down your f***in throat."

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 08:32 PM) So... MLB had Atlanta play Opening Night in Washington for just a one-game 'series'? That strikes me as odd. I saw that Washington played Philadelphia today and I figured it was a mistake. Nope, sure as s*** that was perfectly correct. It's downright stupid.

I still have yet to see this invention they call a "computer"
