QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 02:12 PM) The funny thing with Thome is that he still can't hit the inside pitch at all. However, he's squaring up that outside pitch a lot more than he was early in the year, and most of his homers are going to the opposite way. I don't know why a team would ever pitch him a fastball away. He's kinda like Ryan Theriot, except not a girl.

QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 07:39 AM) This is just a ridiculous post. This isnt the 50 best players in Sox history. If my favorite player was Ron Karkovice becuase i know his son, and know him personally then thats my choice. He wouldnt be my favorite player because of what he does on the field, but regardless would be my favorite player because of our personal connection. Would you roast me? ----That whole story was made up to prove a point. ding ding he sure as hell wouldn't have made a list of best sox players

I like Joey answering questions. A lot, actually.

Jim Thome said hell. He also didn't shave apparently, and fended off the double shaving cream attack. What a guy.

You'd typically like a leadoff guy to walk more than 20 times a year.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Aug 6, 2008 -> 08:35 PM) Oh puh-lease. Pitch count is so overrated, it's not even funny anymore. Pitchers can easily throw 130 pitches a night, but because teams invest so much in pitchers now-a-days, GM's and managers baby the pitchers. Why even risk it in a game like this?

bobby, you have a dirty hat

BA to CF, Swish to first.

Honestly, who lets a young pitcher like JV go 130 pitches?
