QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 09:46 PM) Punto was inside the base line, should have been called out couldn't you make the argument that gordon had the ball and the base long enough for an out? he knocked the ball out after he caught it

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 09:42 PM) He got hit on the wrist, not exactly something to sneeze at. He's broken his wrist before, so... yeah i wasnt specifically referring to this injury, just wishing he was playing. i got drilled on the wrist in my hardball league 5 weeks ago and it still hurts

damn carlos why are you so fragile

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 09:19 PM) Wouldn't be surprised if Cardinals go after one of the Indians pitchers. Garcia pitched terrible for them tonight. absolutely i want carmona

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 08:56 PM) he was playing 1B because we signed teahan (the best thing since sliced bread) and were trying to prepare viciedo for our future 1B job incorrect he was playing 1b before we even acqured teahan

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 08:50 PM) On the subject of Beckham, he shouldn't get a free pass defensively. The guy's on a pace for 20+ errors at 2B, that's not very good. Yes, he has the potential to be an above-average MLB second baseman, but he's not there yet. If we're going to rip Viciedo, the guy hasn't even played that position much this season, he played more 1B. Undoubtedly, he would be better as a DH, but so would Teahen, and Vizquel clearly isn't the long-term solution. And I have a feeling Morel will be the Ryan Sweeney of 3B. Another error. Just not our night. Floyd has never been good at fielding his position...not quite Clayton Richard-esque, but pretty bad. the reason he hasnt played it much is because hes not good at it

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 08:35 PM) Their ball boy is better defensively than Viciedo. yup hes worse than teahan and fields

Mark is my favorite sox player ever. Great guy

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 08:36 AM) Which bars do you recommend in Vegas? The wife and I will be there for a weekend in September. I've always liked Ghostbar. Depends, you looking for club or lounge or casino type bar?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 10:10 PM) Phil Hughes pitched into this jam... he did but matt was not sharp

oh well now i only get to go to 3 world series games

matt has to clean up the yankee mess

dont mean to get off the drug thread but has anybody watched the real L word? a buddy tells me its a great show but i have a hard time buying it

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 09:29 PM) It's been said thousands on times on this site alone. I think it's pretty fair to say that it will never actually sink in. i also disagree with kenny giving up lamar hoyt for ozzie

that was cool, thanks

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 05:30 PM) Where is Harry's at? Purdue. For football games they have a tradition called breakfast club where everyone is in costume and gets to the bars at 7 am. Early in the season is great cause the girls wear very little

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 05:26 PM) Great line. I cannot believe he went there with the "slave" references. My god, Jesse. Get a grip. Slaves (and I make no light of slavery which was a f***ing disgrace to humanity) were not paid like LeBron. My god, Jesse. Shut up please regarding LeBron. Slaves didn't hold a one hour town hall meeting announcing they were switching masters

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 05:18 PM) Maybe you could hire her as your law clerk... Trust me we discussed that. I tried all the angles but the fiancé wasn't buying it. Course she didn't want me to find u in Vegas either.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 05:09 PM) Yeah, but last time I was there, they were dressed in maid costumes... And btw, I am an equal opportunity dater...I consider all ages...the older ones are just much more no-nonsense... you got that right i went last year for the illinois game and met a girl in a towel. we even exchanged numbers and i tried to convince my fiance that we were meeting her up later for drinks to discuss the girl's career choices. that didnt get me very far

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 05:05 PM) I've never loved anything as much as he loves David Ortiz's shoes. good lord he talked about those damn shoes about 57 times it was the only analysis he gave and listening to berman describe the homeruns was giving me a headache

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 03:58 PM) To be honest with you, it gets a little tiring if all we talk about is how awesome Carlos Quentin is at hitting and forget any of his weaknesses. So if Quentin starts hitting like he did earlier in the year and the team starts sucking, only then we can b**** about Carlos' shortcomings? What kind of logic is that? Carlos Quentin can hit .500 for the rest of the year, if he still sucks on defense, then we should be able to talk about how he sucks on defense, because it has to do with the success of this team. If Quentin was playing gold glove defense out there instead of Jermaine Dye/Brad Hawpe defense, you wouldn't hear a word out of us about his defense. You act like as if we HATE these players and want to bash them for one reason or another. That's definitely not the case, we want to maximize their contributions to the team and we want to think about ways of how they can maximize their talents. In the case of Quentin, DHing might be a good idea given his injury history and bad defense. I am not tired of talking about how awesome Carlos is hitting!! Seriously the board is for discussing all things good and bad so we can talk about his 2hrs a game or his defense. But I do find it odd that so many are focusing on the poor defense over the monster hitting where in contrast the vast majority on here talk about how great Peavy was pitching and ignore the fact that he was downright awful early in the year. Why a guy who hasn't even been on the team for a full season gets a free pass and so much love is beyond me.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 03:57 PM) Oh now that is a fun time. not for you man, there are only 20 yr olds, no cougars

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 01:38 PM) Well, Purdue has probably the worst bar scene in the big ten, probably the midwest, but Broad Ripple, which is Butler University bars basically, its pretty damn impressive. I was in downtown Chicago last weekend and I had a pretty good time on Rush street. I always have a good time at Harry's especially during the breakfast club when the girls wear towels to the bar.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 03:47 PM) i second that, 100% certain. yes they are going to be for sure. sex with the ex is great cause you never know if its the last time
