QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 01:08 AM) There is usually a problem every year with opening our pool, sometimes small and sometimes bigger. It went pretty smoothly this year. We have been incredible lucky w/ our pool so far. Same liner we have had since it was put in like 12 years ago or whatever, and never had any problems w/ anything other than the old filter getting old and us getting a cartridge one. But now my mom wants us to put in stair steps instead of a ladder, and my dad is worried that the added pressure on the liner will weaken it quicker and may force us to get a new liner. I guess we will find out next year or so.

Ok, so if Kopecky does not sign w/ Florida, do we still get their 7th RD pick, and then could we conceivably re-sign him? That would be a punch in the nuts for the Panthers. Haha.

Watched Wilfred tonight. Wish I thought it was as funny as you guys did. I mean, I will continue to watch, and it's an interesting concept, but I really didn't think it was very funny.

QUOTE (gfbaseball @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 11:44 PM) I catch most of the home games and try to hit the road for a couple every year also. So all in all I probably catch about 35-40 games a year. Last few years we have been hosting players for the summer so it's really added a new twist to watching the Voyagers play. Nice. Continue to post those updates when you can. I enjoy reading them.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 11:51 PM) We have a Hayward cartridge filter as well. Super easy to maintain. Oh my bad, I misread your post as talking about the sand in a filter, not the sand underneath the pool. Yeah, having a level bottom on your pool is pretty key.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 09:52 PM) I was on the fence about this movie until I saw the trailer, now I am in Video: 'Horrible Bosses' Trailer (Mature Audiences) You were on the fence about seeing a movie you've never seen a trailer for? Or do you mean until you saw THAT trailer in particular?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 11:09 PM) No one seems to know. Oh well. Guess I'll just buy one and figure it out. In other news, I have terrible luck with my pool. When we first got it installed, the liner had a leak in it from the factory. We got a new one. Then we had a ton of problems with the ladder we had because the ground wasn't even and the ladder didn't really work in the pool. We got a new one. Then the valve on the filter started cracking from weather. We got a new one. This year, just as we opened the pool, another hole in the liner. The water/rain from the spring started washing out the backfill of sand/dirt that was sitting under one of the uprights. It left a concrete block exposed to the liner which ripped a huge hole in the liner from the pressure of the water. We patched that hole. Then another small hole came. We patched that hole and a 3rd leak sprung. So on Monday, we're getting a brand new liner and the pool people are going to redo the backfill of sand and dirt to even out the bottom of the pool and make sure no blocks are exposed. HOPEFULLY I'll be able to get into my pool for the 1st time (for recreational use) but the 4th. We switched from a sand "barrel" style filter to a cartridge one. Sooo much easier to open/close every year. I am not sure of the brand we have, but it looks like this one.... http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=...ved=0CG8Q8gIwAw My dad just has to take the cartridge off and hose it down like once a summer or something. Very easy.

Awesome. Congrats!

By the way, I asked my dad a few days ago, and he said he has no idea the wattage. lol. Sorry.

Thanks guys. My brother got me awfully trashed Saturday night. Took me over 24 hours to come down from my hangover. lol. I don't think I am going to drink again for a month. Haha.

Great. The guy seems to have very good control, and I hope he will stay in the rotation. Him and Addison Reed have been great out of the '10 draft.

Wow. 5 balls this at bat. Good job ump.

Wow, Paulie CRUSHED that one.....

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 03:33 PM) He struggled for a few performances and the team gave up on him. Not exactly the kind of working out I'd want. Obviously I mean it worked out for Hudson and his success.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 02:22 PM) And that doesn't mean its a good thing. They aren't saying it because they don't think Reed is a great looking prospect. They are saying it because he has dominated each level he visited and looks like a guy who can move quickly through the system. Remember that Dan Hudson guy? He moved through the system pretty damn quickly and that worked out.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 02:01 PM) The club is doing serious damage to Sale. It sickens me. I hope somehow he can pan out, but I'm very very concerned for the long-term future of both Beckham and Sale. Both had so much potential and neither has really been able to develop. The majors are a very tough place to be and it is very difficult to make decent size adjustments at the big league level. I think both would be best suited from making adjustments down in the minor, seing some success with those adjustments (and thus building confidence) and than seeing time in the majors. Heck with Sale it is more than him learning but just getting him a lot more innings so he can better develop his secondary stuff and better learn to repeat his delivery. Sale was ruined the moment they decided to slot him in to the bullpen and not have him starting in AA or AAA.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 01:56 PM) And if the Sox haven't taught you yet how much damage you can do by calling a guy up too early, I'm not sure what else they can do to convince you. Multiple experts believe Reed will be pitching for this team in 2011.

Oh come on Ump! He leaned in! Or it hit the bat!

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 02:02 PM) I don't feel bad for Dunn. He's making millions of dollars a year to suck like this? I'd say that's a thief. You must have no soul.

Stoney - "Fastball. He just blew it right past him". LOL.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 01:48 PM) No reason to burn an option on a guy like Reed just yet. I meant for the long haul. Reed is much better than Bruney.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 01:19 PM) Hey! Alright, kinda cool. Didn't have to call someone up from the garbage pile in AAA! Addison Reed being called up would have been awesome, and be can also go 2-3 innings, but I'd rather have Santiago than anyone pitching in AAA.

Man, Dunn got some really bad calls against him there.
