ive know cantu my entire life, hes a hard nosed talented ball player that CAN hit... however, he has had 5 count em, 5 surgerys (1 on his left shoulder and 4 on his right shoulder)... he's not a hitting machine but the guy knows what he is doing.... why not take it as him complamenting bmac instead of cantu sayin "i cant hit" because thats what it was intended as. im just tellin you all what i was told, dont hang the messenger.... bow to him and kiss his feet after giving him a nice foot massage.... on the other hand, i dont think id want any of you touching my feet...

QUOTE(Man Of Steel @ Jan 20, 2005 -> 09:43 PM) If your friend KNOWS he does this why does he just not? haha.. seems funny to me, you would think that if you know you do that stuff you would be able to fix that that was just one example of an at bat... cantu was trying to tell me that bmac studys hitters relentlessly and uses his mind a lot for the battle.... so that was just an example of his first at bat in a game... so next at bat bmac would say something like, "ok, i threw him up and in for strike one on a fastball, so now ill give him a curve low and in since he grounded out on one out of the zone last at bat. i can get a fast out or strike one with that pitch of this guy." my friend seemed to empasise that he uses his mind a lot and prepares like crazy... that he has good stuff, just nothing like clemens or johnson amazing... just kind of average... and a 89 - 93 fastball is average.

i was at a local dive today when i ran into an old baseball friend of mine... we used to play high school ball together... turns out he is in the AA st. louis system and i asked him about mcarthy... he said, "average fastball, average curveball, average change, average everything except this.." and he pointed to his head... "the guy just studys the hell out of every player he will face, thats how he is a work horse. in my 3 years in the minors ive gotten one hit of him. he knows i will swing at a fastball out of the zone on the first pitch. he knows i will look at a curve ball on the second pitch for a strike. and he knows i will swing at a low and away curve to either ground out or stike out. the guy got a $500,000 contract for a reason." looks like my friend, timmy cantu... really has high thoughts of brandon and said that once he gets his time in the bigs, that he will do everything he can to suceed, and will. i put this in the pale hose fourm because i thought it needed the exposer it would get here, in contrast to the futures board.

last i recall, everytime one of these "around the horn" artilces pops up, about a week later... we signed a player that fit the catagory the article focused on see: around the horn starting pitchers (then we signed el duke) see: around the horn catchers (then we signed AJ) hummm

hes gonna be in a hot dog commercial soon, youll see him then

i be pimped now, sweet gracsis el pimper-eion

this is one f***ed up story the author defines as a "horror story" its by the man who wrote fight club take a listen to "Guts"

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 07:21 AM) lol, aight...whatcha want on it... hummmm... gotta go with the big frank and garcia again.... this time why not spice it up and include something from the likes of dredg... this symbol (which just happens to be tattooed on my arm) would be a nice addition if u can manage... i posted a white pic because it'll be easy to change color if need be. gracsis, you rule! pimp.

well, last year i made my own sig that i think rivals the best of yours... but i wanna be pimped by the soxtalk famous goldmember sig... so if you could find some time, please make me a sig for 2005... that would be pimptastic, pimp.... holla... yeah! -t

that "person" that they mentioned many times in the article was not steff, it was none other then life long sox fan... barbara walters... hey, at least she was around when we won it all in 1917

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 06:38 AM) What were the details of the contract? well, RJ got 3 years 195 million and iguchi got a 5 year 100 hot dog a month contract.

i had a dream last night that we signed iguchi... so we will, im sure... i also dreamed a few months ago we got randy johnson, so im sure we will also get him.

wtf is so bad about kong in the three hole

i think this gets done.. i mean, the guy can say a: im gonna play in japan even thou i want to play in the majors and can make as much money (maybe more) then i would in japan... oh well, i play japan... no major for me or b: i wanna play in the majors, white sox offer good, i play in majors

if i live in califiornia and have direct tv... will i be able to watch this stuff?

harris, uribe, rowand, and pods have speed... i dont think its classifying the team as a "speed" team, just that they have more balance.

you all really should see this film, its simply amazing... check out how many rave reviews its getting Rotten Tomatoes Reviews o f Million Dollar Baby

pretty general statement there

Gaged

pedro, beltran, and possibly delgado and maggs? wow

QUOTE(LDF @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 07:08 AM) a great family and many visits to the doctors office i saw a psycologist for a while it was helpful... i saw him after i got outta the UCLA pscyeatric ward for a drug induced pscyosis... i took shrooms and never came down... so i was a self proclamed spirital teacher that was going to go on a journey from califiornia to washington dc and protest the war by fasting once i got there (this was in febuaray right before the iraq war started.) i thought it was a good idea and all.. i was in a great state of being, really peaceful, loving, open, honest... just scared the s*** outta my folks... the pscyoloigst helped out a lot in making me understand that because they treated me like a loony in that place, that i really wasnt insane... just a little to outside of the box for society... they gotta make sure your standing in line instead of running around telling everyone to run around with you... not litterally =D i just dont think i need a psycologist right now, i just need to some how pull my head outta my ass and change.
