Hows the weather looking for el game amigos?

Let's make this a flipping 12 game winning streak! First place by the all-star break - GET IT!

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 08:20 PM) I think he needs to be benched at least 50% of the time against lefty starters until he shows something. Maybe a bit less on the road. Sure would be nice if we could bat the TANK against LHP for him until Dunn shows some more life.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 06:24 PM) But if he's here we have to play him. After all, he is an investment that the Sox made. I think I just threw up some of my dinner from last night. Yum. Meat.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 07:10 PM) I wouldn't be opposed. The board should be shut down. We need a time out until we learn to be more positive. I love this place and wish it never changes.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 08:41 PM) In your basement. Go down there and look for it. Don't come back here until you find it. I don't have a basement. Oh, snap.

Where's the petition to immediately replace this boards current consciousness?

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 12:24 AM) This board has become increasingly reactionary and negative. It's getting to the point where I don't really enjoy coming to Soxtalk anymore because I know all I'll see is people b*tching. Hopefully a nice turn around and a big winning streak will finally change the mood.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 04:04 PM) we need a new sub forum for Pierre threads A "Hate On" Sub Forum would be quite popular - until we're in first place.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 04:45 AM) Look, I know I'm nuts. I let my emotions (from a sporting sense) get the best of me at times. But what the hell are you talking about? Trade Pierre? For what? Raccoon s***? What the hell is the market for a near 34-year old with no discernable skill whatsoever? .260 is not worthless? It is when you can't get on base at an acceptable rate for a player that inexplicably leads the league in PAs, has about as much power potential as Justin Biebier or Lil Bow Wow, steals bases at a 50% clip and cant catch the damn baseball. Do you really believe this team would suffer without JP? He needs to go. This is one of my favorite posts of all time

This is surprising... Go Santos! I believe

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 04:23 AM) I hate this organization. Maybe it's time to become a fan of another team then

QUOTE (T R U @ May 23, 2011 -> 03:34 AM) Yeah I know, who cares about where we are back of the loss column right now.. worry about that in August and September.. right now they need to focus on 1. Getting back to .500 and 2. passing who is immediately in front of them.. They cant be worried about catching just Cleveland right now, that's a good way to lose focus on what needs to be done.. +1

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 20, 2011 -> 03:48 AM) Well said. Can't complain about the sweep. And Cleveland was hot. Hopefully the Sox will remain fired up for the NL this year as they were last year. One at a time, baby. bring it!

Let's take this game and then sweep the Dodgers and Rangers to get over .500. Bo-ya

QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ May 19, 2011 -> 03:18 PM) I was lucky enough to be at the game last night and I've gotta say that that was the best pitching performance I've ever been witness to. Peavy looked phenomenal. I did notice that he was pitching from the first base side of the pitching rubber, about as far that way as he can go. Does anyone know if this is a recent adjustment or has he done this for a while? I believe he made this adjustment in his last Charlotte start during the 3rd inning after giving up 5 runs.

Isnt Dunn hitting over 300 with 8 doubles in his last 8 games?

I don't see what the big issue is with calling up McPherson... Look at his numbers in the minors this year - nothing to scoff at and actually not worlds apart from TANK like many are assuming. In some categories - he actually has BETTER numbers than Viciedo.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 16, 2011 -> 05:21 AM) And just to fuel the fire, Juan now owns a -1.2 WAR. Making him the worst player in baseball by DOUBLE that of the 2nd worst player, which is Carl Crawford at -0.6. How does that one sit with you guys? Still don't want to release him and have to eat $4M or so? Cut our losses. Later JP.

QUOTE (Andrew @ May 14, 2011 -> 05:26 AM) Whoa - What am I getting warnings for? Are you pregnant? Because if you are Andrew - you may be getting warnings because people want to ensure a successful delivery. The warnings are probably just in your best interest. No worries. Be happy and have another drink.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ May 9, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) I wonder if he'll have a pitch limit? Likely at most 100 pitches.

QUOTE (ptatc @ May 9, 2011 -> 03:45 AM) Everyone on the team would laugh at him. Guys who are on the DL and aren't playing are ignored especially one who has been out as long as he has. It's the "big talk from a guy who hasn't helped us" mentality. Once he si pitching for thebig club it will change though. I visably saw him at games interacting with the players in a way in which I could deem, comradery... It looked like there was no sour grapes or boysterious acts. Hopefully Jake can fire them up with some ace like pitching - who knows, it IS possible.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 9, 2011 -> 01:02 AM) Has Peavy been with the big league club in the dugout much this season? I wish in between minor league starts they'd have had him in our MLB dugout. He seems like a bad ass that wouldn't stand for some of the horses*** play we've had during the season-opening skid. He's been with the club on quite a few occasions - both at home and away.

Great to read that the gun registered as high as 94. Hopefully Jake can have some SUSTAINED SUCCESS for our SOX!

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ May 6, 2011 -> 01:53 AM) Still have an extra ticket for Friday nite if anyone wants it. Let me know if interested. Hey there sin city - I'd love to go with you. Do you still have the ticket? Let me know - itd be great to see the sox with another fan. Let me know Por favor. Cheers
