QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 11:26 PM) What was the third time? He hit a bases clearing triple in Boston to give Baltimore the lead. He hit a inside the parker against Beckett to put the first game of the series away. And of course, what just happened like 30 minutes ago. I would want to punch him if I were a Red Sox fan right now.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 11:22 PM) The Red Sox fans will surely claim that NY threw it. And good call on Andino being Dent. Andino's f***ed the Red Sox over 3 times already. It's crazy.

Harold Baines is 4th in the poll.

Looks like we might have to wait at least one more week if Martinez is the guy. Tito should be available now.

That was AWESOME!

QUOTE (La Marr Hoyt HOF @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 08:03 PM) I can't believe they won 79 games thinking back................. Yeah, it seemed like it was a lot worse.

The only times where I was optimistic about this team was the first couple weeks of the season. Then when Ozzie got fired, I started getting interested in the team again.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 07:07 PM) 79-83 For whatever reason, 80 wins looks a lot better than 79 to me. Oh well, it's irrelevant either way. We get a better pick this way anyways.

lol who voted for Baines?

QUOTE (Cali @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 07:04 PM) Thank you David Price...if you just made Dave Martinez easier to get a hold of after today... Basically what I'm thinking. The earlier the Rays are knocked out, the more likely Martinez gets the job.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 07:52 PM) I read something today comparing Ozzie to Ditka, and it was eerily similar. They also said they wouldn't be surprised if Ozzie's tenure in Miami goes a lot like Ditka's in New Orleans. Now that is a good comparison.

Looks like everybody likes Martinez. You know what that means...it won't happen.

QUOTE (Papa Tru @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 12:28 AM) I must have missed the part where that had anything to do with soccer not being a sport.. unless of course you put it on your lame blog that no one reads.. OH! Do you think wrestling is a sport? If you don't, you still have sort of a point. If you do, then well...

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 06:33 PM) How many runs does everyone expect the new hitting coach to be worth? You can't put a number on it...but if he does his job the right way, you'll definitely see improvements in select hitters. The thing is that the White Sox bring in a bunch of guys who have had success in the past and they just fall flat on their face here. The one constant during that time is...Greg Walker...and the rest of the coaching staff as well. It has something to do with it. We don't know how much, but it was definitely time for Walker to go, whether it's his fault or not.

There's a lot of speculation threads that say people are favoring this guy or another, but I'd like to see what Soxtalk thinks as a whole. So this is kind of a prediction/what do you want kind of thread.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 03:11 PM) Ala Dave Wannstedt. Still not sold that just because he's been in Maddon's jock for the past few years that he's THE s***! I'll still take Alomar... What has Alomar done that makes him a better candidate?

Dallas McPherson...lawl.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 05:17 PM) Greg- I want you to consider something. You seem like a very loyal guy. Loyal to players, coaches and managers that had a lot of meaning to the organization. Even well after their prime, you defend them. There is something good about that. But let me ask you this. Let's say you are in Jerry Reinsdorff's shoes. He too is a very loyal guy (which alone should tell you something here). The organization has had multiple disappointing years in a row, despite your spending of a lot of money. You've got two people under him, that over the past month, have done this: Person #1 offered to step down to a lower role due to the failures of the team. Person #2 asked repeatedly for a raise and a long term contract, despite those same failures. So, if loyalty is your game... which of those two do you keep? Because it seems to me that you are backing the wrong horse here, based on your own admitted tendencies. This is gonna be good.

Definitely my favorite pitcher of all time. I'd like him back, but business is business.

The Sox can wait for the Rays to do whatever. If time is really that much of an issue, then hope Boston somehow wins tomorrow and Tampa loses. Dave Martinez is 20x the candidate Alomar is.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 11:36 PM) Perhaps this is relevant, but I just went back and checked the winning percentage for the Sox since KW took over. According to my calculations, it's .530. Ozzie's winning percentage is .524. Relevance!!!!!!!!

Did he just compare MJ and Guillen? WTF?

If everybody is staying put, I'm assuming we're going to hire somebody from within the organization already (probably Buddy Bell). Which is just disappointing...

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 01:41 PM) The guided missile pressure button has been removed, and I guess you have to play real defense now. Also youth squads/scouting is in Manager Mode, so that's huge for me. Can't wait to play it tonight. I hear it has been improved greatly. The reviews are great (at least the IGN one I read). It looks like a more authentic game of soccer, which is good for those who really enjoy it, but bad for those who just want to have fun by scoring a s*** ton of goals. I think I might give it a try when I have the time. I personally liked PES 11 with player mods better than FIFA 11.

Happy birthday!
