QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jun 28, 2007 -> 10:54 PM) In the 2nd round with the 49th overall pick I dont know how people can "laugh" at the Aaron Gray pick. For where we got him thats an excellent pick. Also I am very high on JamesOn Curry, I think he can be a pretty damn good player in the NBA. Watching Aaron Gray makes me laugh.

Aaron Gray is a laughable pick.

throw it to 2nd you stupid f***

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 07:24 PM) Could this season get more annoying? We finally heard "good" news today, and it ended up being bogus. Just brutal.

Not a good night for the scouts to be watching Mark

oh my god if this went down...wow Highly unlikely...but wow

my f***ing god this title got me excited. f***

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 01:58 AM) Very true but it's also one of the most misleading stats you'll find and despite the fact that it doesn't tell you much about it hitter it's still the most prominently used statistic out there. Like last year Jim Thome hit .204 in close & late situations which is something you'd see a lot during a baseball broadcast leading you to believe that he was bad when it mattered most. But while he wasn't getting a lot of hits close & late his .393 OBP & .527 SLG tells you that he was actually getting on base 39% of the time which is excellent and 53% of the time he comes to the plate in those situations he's getting a base. It's like when Robinson Cano hit .297 his rookie year but at the same time had an IsoD of 23. That's not productive. There is no doubt it is misleading, and in that sense it's a perfect comparison. I guess that angle I was taking is that there is no offensive stat that can possibly compare to wins in terms of awfulness.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 01:39 AM) Judging a pitcher's success based on their win total is like judging a hitters success based solely on his batting average. At least a hitter controls his average.

lol f***KKKKKKKKKK WINS

I would assume its past time to give KW false hope right?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 12:40 AM) My High School physics teacher played minor league ball with Jeriome. What that has to do with anything I don't know, but I thought I'd share since I'm sure all of you guys wanted to know that awesome fact. Good for you.

New TI is f***ing awesome

great news

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jun 22, 2007 -> 08:25 PM) I'm not a White Stripes fan (aside from Seven Nations Army), so take that for what it's worth. I've seen a lot of message board posts praising this song, so I decided to really try to give this an open-minded listen. I liked the intro to the song. I thought maybe it was going to steer away from what I consider (from my admittedly limited exposure to them) the "typical" White Stripes sound. But it really didn't, at least not away from the sound of the songs I've heard. I guess the biggest problem I had with Icky Thump was that it never seemed to find a groove. It had a lot of jerky-sounding breaks in the song, which stopped whatever flow the song was picking up. It's not a terrible song, but it's not a song I'd buy (or even download for free from the site I found the mp3 on, as it turns out). I was actually referring to the album as a whole, but I definitely agree with your assessment of the song.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 05:23 PM) I hate trade proposals on message boards, but if you give Buehrle the negotiating window, then that's the type of trade we should be looking at. Bingo. I really think an extended Buehrle could fetch that.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 05:21 PM) I have a bad feeling that Lowrie would be the main guy in any trade. There's not a chance in hell you consider this trade unless Buchholz or Ellsbury is the main person in it. Ellsbury + Bowden and I will get wood

mother f***er, trade valueeeeeeeee

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 06:34 PM) Bowden Bring the local kid to the Sox

Huge huge pickup.

Ya, he took a f***ing horrendous route to that ball. Good catch, I think not.

lol

Aramis in a f***ing second. Probably less.

Saying Pods gives it all post-2005 is just not true at all. Dude dogs it to first regularly.
