QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:39 PM) This is kind of random, but has Alexei's defense improved? According to Fangraphs his UZR is 2.8, 2nd in the AL behind Scutaro. Or has the SS position just gone to crap? Hes always been good, hes just had mental lapses at times that drive people crazy..

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:34 PM) ??? means he is no good

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) NEVER gonna happen!! He was told it wasn't a demotion ..they just need him to handle the new pitchers and they want him closer to Kannapolis and W-S. ..Luis Sierra told me the same thing happened to him last season and he was only in Bristol for a week. Blackwood is a buster

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:29 PM) I like the swear filter...creates a lot more constructive post than just seeing "f***" whenever something bad happens. While this is true.. I think that it would be a lot better with words substituted for the swears instead of them being "f***" Not only would it make for some funny outcomes, but what does the current system really accomplish? Just because three letters have a * in place, you still see the word anyways..

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:26 PM) I have a lot to cuss about today!! Mother f***in Blackwood is going to gosh damn Bristol ...WHAT THE s***?!?!? I think you need to find a new person to follow..

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:22 PM) Then there would be less admins to police the place, and we'd need an even stronger swear filter. I was joking man

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:21 PM) No, you haven't. Let's try again... And here was your response... I don't appreciate you cherry-picking sentences from my posts and using them to intentionally mischaracterize my points via rhetorical straw man. My original response was for you comparing him to Joe Borchard.. and honestly, I dont care one bit what you dont appreciate, so suck on that

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:20 PM) Not when this many admins visit the site while at work. Well then maybe you should be working instead of looking at the site?

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:20 PM) I say go back to changing the bad words to other words, like f*** to fish, and s*** to shinola or something. that would be much more awesome than the stupid filter in place now..

I voted yes, but honestly with the swear filter I often find myself not swearing as much because I just hate seeing the word starred out.. But then again, how much does the filter even matter? You still know what the word is, and for the most part see it anyways..

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:06 PM) I'm betting that sounds worse than the actual conversation by being compressed into a tweet. If we were totally going to try and rebuild, Peavy would be moved anyways.. I think the only thing well do is deal AJ, Putz, Jenks, Jones.. maybe look into dealing Konerko or Thornton But they are still going to keep most of the core people.. so its not gonna be a total rebuild anyways..

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:03 PM) Did anyone else see this from Cowely. "Peavy just said that if he felt the Sox were going to go young and rebuild all over, he would asked to be moved." I love Peavy, but he needs to shut his mouth. http://twitter.com/cst_sox/status/15858542576 Yeah were already ripping him in the Catch All Thread

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 01:53 PM) Shut up Jake! We're having to rebuild cause you've been the biggest underachiever on a group of underachievers! Ide almost rather just trade him now to get out of that contract..

Why does Teahen get so much hate? He was coming around with the stick before hitting the DL..

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 12:44 PM) That's not what I said. Try reading a bit closer. Oh ive read it fine Basically you just wanna keep Flowers in AAA in a year where if AJ is traded, obviously they are throwing in the towel.. Its not like we will be contending and call him up for a September stint with the club.. Hes 24 years old, and has put up solid numbers in the minors.. if this season is over for us, its time to call him up and let him be the catcher for the rest of the year and see what he can do..

^^ I f***in agree bro

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 12:44 PM) Can someone educate me, why did Big 12 fall apart in the first place? The Big 12 North is terrible The Big 12 South is awesome Its an unbalanced league, plus the money stuff as well..

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 12:16 PM) Fathom, You were the first person I really saw mention GT, but now it seems to be gaining traction. New rumors floating around are the Big 10 wanting Maryland, Syracuse, Rutgers, GT and ND to fill the last 5 spots. Every indication is that Missouri is the Big 10's last resort. ? They are getting Nebraska Friday, that makes 12 Adding 5 more teams makes 17.. one of those teams cant come

Dude, Flowers had a really bad may.. look at his April and June numbers Its not like he has fallen off the face of the earth..

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 11:57 AM) Yeah, he has power in the minors. So did Joe Borchard. Ok? So we should just assume Flowers is a bad player and not give him some playing time in a throw away year to see what we have in him.. sounds good.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 10:51 AM) Flowers is currently hitting .228 with a 1/3 BB/K ratio at Charlotte. I'd rather keep him down there until the rosters expand. He also has 11 HRs and 33 RBI If we need someone to play catcher and hit .200, ide rather it be someone young and cheap who also offers power..

QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 10:01 PM) That's what i'd have thought if I didnt see it but he must have hit it 425 feet. It was a bomb, didn't think he could hit a ball that far..

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 04:02 PM) http://www.waitingfornextyear.com/?p=29584 Random internet site says Izzo is gone. He let his players know, with a press conference to come later. I don't get it. He's one of the best college coaches around, already makes tons of money, and is going to a franchise in complete turmoil? Unless Lebron has promised to stick around, there's no way I'd go to Cleveland. I haven't seen anything that says he has told them he accepted it.. just that he has had talks with them and is considering it..

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 03:16 AM) For some reason when I first saw the list I thought Katy Perry was kinda meh at best, and now that its been a couple weeks I cant imagine my top100 list without her She definitely looks good, but #1? No way..
