QUOTE (son of a rude @ Aug 2, 2009 -> 01:05 AM) Not to be a nit picky grammar police asshole, but I caught this when I was reading it. He may consider himself and organization guy and just be happy to be playing affiliate ball, but in my opinion it would be a tragedy if he never got a shot in the majors, regardless of the team. These articles look pretty profession to me, and I assume that's what you are going for. That's why I pointed this out. Just proofread before you post it I guess. It makes it look more professional. Other than that, it looks good. I have a tendency to write "and" instead of "an" sometimes. I do proofread, but sometimes you'll miss something out of 740 words. There is a difference between a grammar issue and a typo. Please do not question my grammar.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 1, 2009 -> 10:56 PM) I wouldn't mind seeing a decent write-up on CJ Retherford. D'oh! I meant to mention something about him this time. That's a good idea.

Just saw this on the transactions as well...Kris Honel traded for Jose Lima.

QUOTE (rockren @ Aug 1, 2009 -> 11:07 PM) Says that in his walk up song..."I just wanna use your love toniggghhttt" Literally, not just because of the song.

I'm taking suggestions for my next edition of JPNese, meanwhile check out the current edition...JPNese 8/2

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 1, 2009 -> 10:27 PM) I'm sure he is a ladies man - he's a stud athlete and very intelligent and articulate. A good looking kid. But was he honestly "slayer"? The same friend also confirmed he liked older women.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 1, 2009 -> 10:27 PM) And is Shanisty Myers the girl from the news station? Yes.

QUOTE (scenario @ Aug 1, 2009 -> 09:35 PM) Charlotte over Louisville 3-2 Carlos Torres with a very nice outing... Birmingham postponed due to rain. Winston-Salem over Potomac 5-0 Justin Edwards threw 7 innings of 3-hit shutout ball. Kanny lost 5-3 Great Falls at home against Missoula. Bristol wins 1-0. Freddy Garcia, Phil Negus, and Santos Rodriguez combined on a 2-hit shutout. I hate rain.

I've gotten independent confirmation from a friend of his family that he is a ladies man. And, he is well rumored to have "closed the deal" with Shanisty Myers here in Birmingham.

Football season's coming up, also known on ESPN as an 8 month verbal bukkake fest over Tom Brady, Tony Romo & Donovan McNabb. With a heaping helping of Steelers/Patriots reach arounds.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 08:32 AM) The NBA gets no more off season news in July than MLB would in December. They're covering NBA summer league stuff and still talking about basketball. What channel are you watching?

QUOTE (Dizzy Sox @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 09:59 PM) Viciedo after the ASB: .364/.397/.636 He's going to be good. Real good. Leading candidate for hot player of the week next week.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 01:14 AM) Who's chopper is this? FABIAN! There's always room for Pie.

Hudson is all of 6'4" and 220, a big, big man. He's in good shape, so whatever it is, he should be fine.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 06:55 PM) Maybe if Kyle would just shave his sideburns. I don't recall Kyle ever having sideburns in the two years he's been in B'ham.

With Baltimore getting Josh Bell from LA, they may be less interested in Fields. But, hopefully they'll still do the Fields/Pie trade.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 02:37 PM) From what you have seen from Dayan all season, do you think LF would be his second position if it becomes clear he's not sticking at 3B? See my blog at Future Sox.

A conspiracy, or just a fact? Link

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 01:23 PM) I'll trade you my Strawberry Fields Forever for a piece of that Pie! Cookies for (Pecan) Pie. I'll do that deal any day.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 01:53 PM) has anybody seen enough of Morel to say if he has the defensive skills to play 3b. Like to see him finish the year at Birmingham, but that is unlikely with Dayan in his path. Dayan, Morel or Retherford, one of those guys needs to take over at 3b by 2011 He only has 6 or 7 errors all season, so it seems he's statistically good.

Fields for Pie also sounds like a trade of tasty desserts.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 11:52 AM) Suit yourself, I'm calling him 3.14159 I find it funny that both his first name and last name are or can be linked to derogatory names for a woman's area.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 11:59 AM) Which is good if you put on a lotta weight. Plenty of room. With the food they have at Regions, that's very likely.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 11:54 AM) I've been telling people on here for 5 years that the son of a scout who I went to Grad School with told me back in 2003 that the Red Sox players were the biggest abusers of PEDs in all of baseball. Boston sports teams get a free pass for cheating.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 11:50 AM) I wouldn't be suprised if ESPN turns to a "everybody did it" tact and start spewing that basically everyone was on them so the playing field was equal and they didn't really have an advantage Already have, they're trying to steer away from Ortiz and Ramirez as much as possible.
