ugh, finally Its pretty frustrating when this team wins and you try to discuss it and there's a group of douches who STILL just wanna bash the team.. Even when they have nothing to add to the conversation, its all good if you just toss in a "yeah, well Juan Pierre is terrible"

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 06:08 PM) I think Lids just sells Charlotte's, not Birmingham's or the others. lids.com bro, they have EVERY minor league one

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 12:53 PM) From when, from when we never watched the guy consistently? I sat 15 feet from the field a few games ago, the guy doesnt look physically out of shape at all, nor does it look like his swing is slow. It looks like he is either cheating on a pitch, or not recognizing it quick enough. Completely 100% mental. I agree.. Everytime ive seen him his bat speed hasnt looked slow..

With the way Vince runs things, I find it VERY hard to believe that he would allow Punk to say what he said on RAW and pretty much ruin the main event of the next PPV if he was indeed leaving the company.. Im pretty sure there would be reports of how mad Vince was over that if it were legit, plus, I think Punk would be pulled from that match somehow Just basing this off of how I think Vince would react if one of his headliners told the audience they were gone like that

yes! I just went to lids.com and you can get all the hats for the minor league teams! Thats my new goal to get Charlotte, Birmingham, Kannapolis, and Winston-Salem.. that's so cool I didn't know they had those.. No umpire hat though

QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 12:11 PM) I snagged a Chicago American Giants a week or so ago at Grandstand. Good looking cap with great history. whoa, thats awesome And where did you get an umpires hat from? I wonder if I could get a legit one from lids online or something

this is the total opposite of this threads intentions, but I absolutely despise the Astros uniforms.. I think they are the worst in the league

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 12:00 PM) That would all change if only they'd hold RAW at a Chuck E Cheese.

this convo is so gay

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 19, 2011 -> 10:40 AM) Where'd you hear this? I haven't heard where they are this close to anything. It was on espn.com as the headline, finheaven.com, and I listen to ESPN radio on satellite radio all day and they also talked about it.. the latest ive heard now is that there are owners going against eachother in this example.. an owner like Jerry Jones who spends on his team doesn't think he should share the same amount of money with a guy like Paul Brown who doesn't do those things..

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 10:44 PM) I will say I'm actually far more pissed at the Sox than I even usually am this year for quite the opposite reason. I bought in, and thought this team was going to win this division. And I suppose it still could. But it just seem unlikely right now, and that's just disheartening. Were 5 1/2 out of a weak ass division in mid June.. Im not sure how anyone could think its unlikely

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 11:06 AM) As usual, don't let actual reality interfere with your hyperbole: Beckham last 28 days: .265/.351/.718 Perfectly acceptable for a 2B. the problem for me is it feels like there should be more from him

How good would this team be? 1. Lillibridge LF 2. Ramirez SS 3. Quentin RF 4. Konerko 1B 5. Young CF 6. Allen DH 7. Pierzynski C 8. Beckham 2B 9. Morel 3B 1. Buehrle 2. Danks 3. Floyd 4. Hudson 5. Gio CL Santos

QUOTE (Bighurt52235 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 06:50 PM) In addendum, it is very easy to hit a golfball 400+ feet. I would love to drive golfballs all over and out of US Cellular with a bat. I was coming in here to say this I remember in high school tossing up a golfball and hitting it with an aluminum bat and it easily going 500+ feet

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 02:48 AM) Colossal is appropriate. I've grown tired of ripping on Pierre. He's bad. We all know this. Gordon hasn't really been thrown under the bus yet. This guy is absolutely clueless for what was supposed to be such an advanced college hitter. I'd give anything for Smoak right now. Yep, pretty much what I was thinking.. but then again im not one of those people who kill myself over players who aren't here because they were traded by us or passed over by us in the draft.. And that's funny that I said that in response to your post, but its purely coincidental and not directed at you

Im surprised no one has mentioned this years NCAA and how awesome the new coaching carousel looks..

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 02:41 AM) Offensively, he's been every bit as bad as Pierre. Major disappointment is an understatement. I was going to say collosal but I dont know if thats spelled right and my spell check is not giving me an option for it when I left click it.. so to save myself from looking dumb, I changed it to major..

Oh, and I am also pretty sure I despise Beckham more than Pierre at this point.. that dude has been a major disappointment

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 01:39 AM) Morel in the 2 hole? Alexei in the 5 spot? That's a shake-up. May not be here to stay, but at least he isn't copy and pasting the same s*** lineup again. I don't mind Morel in the #2 hole, at least he puts the ball into play.. in fact, if it was permanently Morel at #2 and Alexei at #5 I would like that a hell of a lot more than seeing AJ come up to bat 5th

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 12:03 AM) Real there's no way you trade Floyd as he is only guaranteed starter we have next year. Who knows if Humber blows up rest of the way If they do deal Floyd then I would assume that more people will be following him out the door in a total cleaning of house, in which case I don't think it matters much WHO is guaranteed to be in the rotation next season..

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 01:30 AM) There it is, yet again. It's entirely up to Williams to remove Pierre and his influence from the team. Guillen will NEVER get it. What the hell is he supposed to say? Pierre is absolutely terrible and is killing this team? We all know he needs to go, but Ozzie cant just bash everyone who isn't doing good on the team.. he cant bench Pierre, Rios, Beckham, Morel, Dunn.. Who the hell else can take over all those spots? The longer Juan Pierre is on the team and starting, the more blame KW deserves.. if he is with Ozzie that Pierre needs to stick at the leadoff spot till he MAYBE starts getting it going then hes an idiot.. if he is keeping him here because he doesn't want to upset Ozzie even though its HIS JOB to manage the roster then hes an idiot.. anyway you look at it, its KW that's facilitating this mess and hes really the only person who can put a stop it it..

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 10:07 PM) ill take the one on the left, Carl you take the one on the right, ready? BREAK! ugh, fine but next time you're the one taking the dive

their names sound like they are hott, but you never know

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 10:50 AM) Yeah...and I remember the ball you're talking about...but come on, he was doing the Cuban special those games he pitched for us...and I know it was only 3 starts or something...but it was a very ill-timed 3 mediocre starts. He was terrible, and the prospect of a better arm for a playoff push is something ide never blame KW for..

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 07:16 AM) Yeah, I think HHH has a respect for wrestling that Vince seems to lack. I'm hopeful that whenever Vince retires/dies, Steph and HHH can put the "wrestling" back in World Wrestling Entertainment. Oh definitely, you know HHH respects the hell out of the business.. ide imagine that once Vince is gone it will most certainly get back to more wrestling based..
