QUOTE (DaveBrown85 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 10:34 PM) nice to see you're a sox fan and have faith in the team. How long have you been a fan since 2006 on? What is this supposed to mean?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 10:14 PM) BTW, has anyone not named Thome hit an opposite field HR this year for us? Fields, I think Paulie

lol holy s*** that's glaring.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 09:10 PM) Gomez. Not by a ton, but by a decent margin. Faster, better arm, more range, better bunter, slightly better hitter, probably more power. The point of that was to highlight how much of a piece of s*** baseball player Carlos Gomez is. I love pointing out how much he sucks.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 09:06 PM) I'd rather watch Alfonso Soriano field a flyball than Carlos Gomez. Jesus f***ing Christ, who the hell are you trying to impress? Honestly - who is a better player, right now? Carlos Gomez or DeWayne Wise? And by how much?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 09:01 PM) That's horrible. Why even watch? Why even give a s***? We take the lead in a pretty pivotal division game against a rival and it's something you yawn at? What's the point? I love the Sox as much as anyone here but I would rank the following in roughly the order I like doing them: 1. Having my testicles ripped off while wide awake 2. Being hit by a fast-moving bus 3. Falling into a wood chipper 4. Watching the Sox play the Twins at the Metrodome 5. Tabasco enema

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 08:59 PM) Just remember this: we have Linebrink and Jenks to pitch against Morneau, Mauer, Kubel, etc. late in this game. You owe me 10 bucks for wasting my dinner. I just threw up in my mouth.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 08:52 PM) Wow this teams defense is pathetic.... are we the worst in baseball?? I was so pissed by that inning I had to change the channel for a minute... I don't know about baseball but close to worst in the AL, yeah.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 08:49 PM) They own us. Plain and simple. Our MVP last year was the little kid that called heads (I think it was heads) when they were determining who would get homefield in the event of a tie division tie. I'm used to seeing the Viciedo avatar and your new one is throwing me off.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 08:44 PM) seriously. i just turned on the game and have already seen two balls that were strikes. Dammit Nix. Does anyone else think he plays waaaay too much? Wow you're complaining about Nix's defense? Well, that's a first.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 08:33 PM) Is it just me, or are there more potshots at the Sox in that 4 page thread than in our entire Cubs thread in the Diamond Club? The South Side jabs aren't even that creative. "Drag racing Camaros while high on meth." Come on at least get it right. South siders like to have gang fights in the projects.

Actually Tex look at the post # of your last post.

It passed the House unanimously (including Bachmann Insano).

QUOTE (Tex @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 03:35 PM) Washington writer rips fan = bad Soxtalk posters rip Buerhle for hunting = OK you know, just sayin' Yeah because the poster who brought that up caught NO s*** for it... cmon Tex.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 12:12 PM) He wasn't even close to that ball. Every fan goes for a ball hit by them. It's pure instinct. That's why blaming Bartman is f***ing stupid. Everybody around him got up and tried to go for that ball. Turns out he was the only one who actually touched it. Nobody around him got any s*** about it. My thing about Bartman is how do his actions, which had minimal impact on the game at best, explain the 8 runs that followed? And the loss in Game 7? These things are completely glossed over every time.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 11:41 AM) http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/arti...10&print=on Well, there you have it! Its called doing you f***ing job..... Is he promoting more smaller more efficient bills from the House...Retire old man, your time has past..Visit your wife in jail.. He has a point. Could you read, and more importantly comprehend, 1000 pages of legalese in 2 days without anyone helping you do it? That's not a matter of "doing your job," it's a matter of actually being possible.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 10:10 AM) That's because the only way he ever gets to the 3rd time through the order, he's pitching a good game. When he's getting lit up, or walking everyone in sight, by the time they come up for the 3rd time, Carrasco is facing them. I don't necessarily think how he does the first time through is an indication how he would be as a reliever. He obviously would have a different mindset, and he might face more LH hitters. As bad as everyone thinks Colon is, and as great as Richard supposedly now is, although a week or so ago Poreda was a prospect and Richard was garbage, Colon still has a lower ERA and WHIP than Richard this season. My beef with Poreda was the fact that he wasn't playing at all while Colon was sucking it up. The only thing having Poreda on the roster accomplished was retarding his development. He either needed to be getting innings in the majors or starting in AAA, just pick one, the option they had been going with was kinda dumb.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 10:25 AM) This is funny coming from a guy who was convinced not to eat meat from watching a PETA documentary. Very funny. I was watching one of those documentaries when I was overseas once and it made me feel really bad. So I was thinking, hey, maybe I'll try not to eat meat for the sake of these animals. But they were serving ribs in the cafeteria that day, so...

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 10:05 AM) Unless you're Dr Doolittle I don't see how you can ever know that answer with certainty. Yes, you're right, but I haven't ever heard of carnivorous species being vegetarians. That doesn't mean they don't exist, just that I've never heard of it.

Ichiro has funny-looking mechanics. Boy he must suck.

QUOTE (BamaDoc @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 09:47 AM) Does anyone have stats on Clayton Richard the first time thru the lineup. That would give some idea of his relief ability. Our pen has been less than stellar of late. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/...9&t=p#times It's not that great this year. Last year he'd be really good the first time thru and then just get torched as the game went on. This year he's kind of meh all around, although batters on the 3rd PA seem to struggle, probably because if he makes it that far it means he's been cruising that game.

Well we provided some immediate help. We're so nice.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 08:43 AM) You seem to interperet "fundamentals" to mean having a less flawed swing. Kind of a narrow definition. Fields has a better shot at being a productive full time major leaguer than Nix does, IMO. His track record indicates this. And for that matter, Fields' major flaw is highly fixable (the swing hitch), so that flaw is in fact a reason to believe he's probably going to have more success than Nix, who seems to be at his maximum output. Nix is a better defensive player of course, and at multiple positions, which is very helpful. But I think Fields is a small swing change away from being a guy who can hit .250-.260 with 30+ jacks, which Nix will never come close to. I like Nix as a utility guy, and I have my doubts about Fields, but I'd put 2:1 odds in favor of Fields having a more prolific career as a starter than Nix. Nix doesn't have much of a track record to speak of, except a couple of years of solid minor league play after 3 or so really disappointing years that skew his overall numbers down pretty hard.

I'd say we're the only species on the planet with brains developed to the point where we can question whether we're carnivores or herbivores, no?
