QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 06:37 PM) I'm not allowed to be disappointed if my son is gay? Would you not be disappointed? I think most red blooded men would be. Doesn't mean we'd show it, but are there people out there who actually want a gay child? A lot of gay people probably do...

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 04:18 PM) Not that it should surprise anyone, but Heyman is reporting the Sox are fielding calls on Jackson. I don't imagine they'd get much back for him. The Jackson deals might be Swisher trades part 2 if we end up getting a bunch of nobodies back.

I gotta say, this thread was entertaining. I don't post at all in here, but this was a good time waster while at work.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 04:06 PM) Overall record, he gets at least an A-. He's the best ERA-wise of any reliever on the team. In 16 innings of work... His ERA two weeks ago was 5 something. I personally don't like to use ERA for relievers, but I wouldn't even think much of it if it was in just 16 innings of work. Unless it was above 7. That just means you're terrible. Outside of ERA, nothing says Brian Bruney is a good reliever deserving of an A.

As long as they don't pop up in my face, I'm good. It costs a lot of money to run a forum and I totally understand the decision.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 12:56 PM) Morel has gotten a lot of D's. I think that's kinda harsh considering how solid he's been with the glove. I don't care if he's Evan Longoria on defense. Fact of the matter is, I'd rather see Pierre at the plate than Morel right now. Morel's lack of power, lack of patience, and his .250 batting average makes a really really bad offensive player. What's with all the As for Brian Bruney? This board was yelling DFA 2 weeks ago when his name came up.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 10:21 PM) That's terrible. Anyway, Jose Bautista with another two HRs. I believe that's 98 HRs since mid-Sept of '09. f***ing amazing. Oh, and Mike Trout can fly. Rolen is going because Aramis Ramirez refused to go. Everything about him just says lazy ass.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 01:26 AM) Looks like the comments to the article speak this is a non story. Some of them are funny. D@mn I need some straight news... Has Roethlisberger sexually assaulted in hotties lately?

Wrong place for the joke, obviously. But it's still funny.

It could be worse. Just look 8 miles north. But I agree, changes must be made.

lol Anthony Swarzak looking like Stephen Strasburg.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 02:16 PM) It's not like he was throwing his normal velocity prior to the injury either though. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playe...ion=P#pitchtype Not a huge difference.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 02:15 PM) Definitely mysterious what happened to his stuff. Surgery...?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 02:11 PM) I think at this point it's safe to say Peavy is at least a semi bi-product of Petco Park. It's not like he's giving up a ton of home runs at the Cell. His peripherals this year are fine.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 02:09 PM) Looks like he was sitting on an offspeed pitch. Just amazes me how Peavy of 2006 would have just gassed these hitters above the belt. He's not locating well enough with the fast stuff. Doesn't help that the ump's been somewhat inconsistent.

What pisses me off more than anything is that their piece of s*** hitters like Butera actually contribute. While ours don't do jack s***.

A two out rally. Yuck. Peavy got pissed at the ump and this is what happens...

You wonder why the Sox can't get hits on the bunts they usually fail to put down.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 01:33 PM) Ball two to Toyotatireski (sp?) looked like an outside strike to me Nishioka.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 01:22 PM) A bit of concern in the 1st inning for Peavy as he gave up two singles, but gets out of it with a line out to third. Sems to have a hard time getting loose before the game I am thinking He's been bad since that game where he pitched 4 innings of relief.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 01:16 PM) Ben Revere is a good lookin' player. Thank you Hawk.

I am addicted to L.A. Noire.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 10:30 AM) CF has still been a black hole for us since 2006, though. It sure wasn't a black hole last season.
