How about "Adult Contemporary Punk" or "Radio Friendly Punk?"

If I remember correctly, he threw an okay changeup just to keep hitters honest. I think he also threw some sort of splitter or some kind of fastball with a late sinking action. He still needs some seasoning.

JPN - What did you think of his delivery, upside, and mechanics? He notes Ozzie really likes his 95 MPH FB. But the downside is behind Sale he is the best lefty in the Org right as a prospect and KW may trade him. Thoughts? He seemed to have serious command problems when he first got to B'ham. But, he worked everything out and pitched well. His delivery was a tad herky-jerky, but smooth overall. He's a lefty with a good fastball, so his upside is good. Depends on how he handles advanced hitters. His mechanics are fine, he just needs to make sure he doesn't struggle with control. Sorry if that's not more enlightening.

QUOTE (SnB @ Oct 29, 2010 -> 01:44 PM) community is one of the most ridiculous shows I've ever come across, but definitely pulls it off. That's why it's so good, you never know what to expect because it's so out of left field most of the time.

Best line was by Don Johnson... "Same old Kenny. 10 pounds of s**t in a 5 pound bag...and friends with f*****s."

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 27, 2010 -> 02:54 PM) I love that show because there are very few likable characters. That sounds odd. Found a place that is selling the Complete Series of "The SHield" on DVD for $69. Got it for my dad for Christmas. I have never seen the show and will watch it when he is done, but he likes those types of shows. That's a big box of awesome. $69 is a good deal too. Vic Mackey is king!

QUOTE (Cali @ Oct 29, 2010 -> 11:45 AM) Community's Halloween episode was pretty much an instant classic for me. Best Halloween episode of any show iv ever seen. That show is great.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 26, 2010 -> 03:34 PM) Just because Flowers' had a bad season doesn't mean he's a non-prospect. This is the same exact kind of stuff people were saying about Viciedo last year, and then he had a good all around season. The example I used was JP Arencibia for Toronto. Had a piss-poor 2009, comes back this year, destroys AAA pitching, and he's looked at in a different light again. Flowers is still a relatively young player. This is a very important season for him, but considering him a non-prospect after his first full go around in AAA is pretty ridiculous. And the thing is, Viciedo didn't have a bad season in 2009. That's a complete fallacy.

Torres released, traded, not re-signed? Can't look at Twitter at work.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 26, 2010 -> 11:15 AM) I don't know if it's the same system or not, but it feels like we're going to get whalloped here today. We had a powerful line move through yesterday morning, and since then the temperature's been sitting in the low 80's, with 30 mph wind gusts and high humidity. Yeah, it feels like severe weather here too.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 26, 2010 -> 08:42 AM) TORNADO WARNING, EVERYBODY OUTSIDE (/inside joke that only one person on Soxtalk will get..) I get it. Does that make two? We deal with this stuff all the time 'round these parts.

You can get it in the a$$.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 02:58 PM) The Dolphins just got hosed. Pretty clear that the Dolphins recovered the fumble.

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 12:34 AM) The show will be dead within 2 seasons after Carrell leaves. Probably.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 08:15 AM) Andy becomes the manager? Is this a fact or your guess? Guess. But they're already putting him into Michael Scott scenarios. Remember the meeting he called?

Okay Flaming Lips fans, what are their essential albums?

QUOTE (3E8 @ Oct 23, 2010 -> 12:59 PM) Office has actually been pretty good the past two episodes. Dwight's quote to intimidate the rival salesman was classic. Would recommend Huluing them Andy Bernard will take over where Michael Scott leaves off after Steve Carrell leaves the show.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Oct 21, 2010 -> 03:22 PM) Anyone hear the new Kings of Leon? I give it a 3/5 right now. A band that desperately needs a new singer.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 01:01 PM) I really think once they left their original house it went down the s***ter big time. I was talking about Mad Men.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 11:21 PM) South Park taking shots at Inception. Needless to say if you havent seen Inception Id watch it before seeing this weeks South Park.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 21, 2010 -> 10:51 AM) Her name is Ana de la Reguera, been a fan of hers for years, she is one hot Mexican mamacita Kenny Powers f***ing rules!! Orgásmico!

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 01:16 PM) RIP Mr. Cunningham Father Dowling.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Oct 18, 2010 -> 10:02 AM) It really sets up a very interesting Season 5. It's a shame we'll have to wait so long... I've watched the entire series over the last 10 months, so having to wait almost a year to see season 5 will be weird for me.
