So many nail biters in here...remind me never to shake your hands

Jonathan Sanchez no-hitter No BB or hits

Uribe just biffed up Sanchez's perfect game with an error. What a terrible feeling.

Since this card has some pretty big names I wouldn't get there any later than 7:30...that's just my guess. The Foundry is great. Champ's and BDubs usually have it too.

Guy was clearly a creep, something of a slob, and yes probably, a pedophile. http://www.606studios.com/bendisboard/show...ad.php?t=179292 His house reminded me of a garage sale. Just lots of useless crap that nobody wants.

Lets try to a trade one of our relievers for a steady first baseman in the upper minor leagues.

So when does he start? Did they declare when his first day would be?

When my boogers dry up, I rip them out and with it comes tons of nose hair. Then I flick the whole clump out my car window.

By Position, who in your opinion have been the best defenders by position who have played for the Sox (while they played for the Sox) in the last 20 years. And who do you think was overall #1. By defense, I mean all facets that come with it (i.e. range and speed, arm, fielding, good decision making). Twenty years ago I was four, so I'm not really qualified to answer this, but curious as to who you guys think belong in here. C: 1B: 2B: 3B: SS: LF: CF: RF: P: #1:

I feel like they grow way faster than they used to when I was younger, I hate having to always clip them. I probably do every 5-7 days. And I'm not one of those people who have super super short nails either, I just don't want to look like a girl or werewolf.

It might be time to tell Egbert he is getting his one chance at starting. See how badly he wants make the dream come true. He deserves at least one shot at starting.

Yeah, you can get away with it sometimes....but I think we can all agree for the most part that it is a standard in MLB that you need to have at least 3 pitches to succeed as a starter. Especially once the scouting reports get out about you.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 03:34 PM) How exactly do you know this? You've seen him start many times I suppose? We drafted him in the first round for a reason, and he had been starting in the minors for a reason as well. I say it simply because no one in the Sox organization has ever stated that he has a changeup that is considered to be of usable quality. I'll I've heard about it is that when he was drafted, he had no change and now he's working on it. He was indeed drafted in the first round, but our own internal development scout was bashing the pick because they couldn't ever see him developing the secondary pitches to succeed as anything but a relief pitcher. He may eventually be a good starter, but right now from what I've heard, he doesn't sound ready. When you have a real good fastball in the minors it can take you places even if you're a SP. In the majors if you have a good fastball you can throw BP. But you need at least 2 passable pitches in addition to your fastball to be a successful starter. If you've read that he has a decent change now show me, I may have just missed it.

The only thing about Poreda is that he still does not have a passable enough of a change to be a starter. See him once and he's tough to face, see him twice and he's not so bad, see him three times in a game and he's throwing BP

I have never disliked a Sox player as much as I did Andy Gonzalez. I have never seen a player I thought was more undeserving of MLB playing time as Andy Gonzalez. But in the NL he's got a shot at 100 RBIs.

So does anyone know what his bonus is? Was it 1.2M ?

I'm gonna call this as the first day of Shelby's soon to be very very very hot streak.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 7, 2009 -> 10:21 PM) How is the online multiplayer? I've been wanting to get an FPS on Wii. As for good WiiWare games, Defend Your Castle is a blast, especially local 2 player. It's PC freeware too if you want to check it out, but it's a lot funner on Wii. I tried to play it online last night, it couldn't find anyone else online. But it was kinda late.

League min this year

Not a bad reliever. Allen was one of many 1B candidates, probably would have liked him as part of a package for a premere guy, but I think Pena will be good once he gets comfortable here.

What Wiiware games are good? Particularly multiplayer ones.

Just downloaded the Wiiware game, Onslaught. It took about five minutes for me to wish I had my ten dollars back
