QUOTE (Pale Sox @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 12:42 AM) They have a decent farm. Not great, but pretty good. For a team that's had such favourable drafting positions in recent years they could be much better, but they're OK. I'm still not sold on them this season, however. In all honesty, the Twins are still the team that scares me the most. The Tigers are similar to us in that they rarely finish strong. The Twins, however.....I think we all know how they finish. Giggidy giggidy.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 02:35 PM) My lord, really? Taco Bell is marginally suitable for human consumption. I can see not being a big fan of Chiptole, but to go out of your way to choose disgusting, grade C beef on purpose? Yikes. I'm clearly no 'foodie' but I'm totally ok with the processed 'meat' from Taco Bell. If they told me it was made out of cat, I would still eat it. If they killed the cat in front of me, I would still eat it.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 11:45 AM) Interesting not, according to Hittrackeronline, Dunn's homer was the heighest hit in the Majors this season reaching an apex of 150ft. Someone had posted a website a few weeks back (maybe in the MLB catch-all?) that had a list of the highest, lowest, slowest, longest air time, etc. Anyone still have the website, or does anyone know if this one had the longest time-in-air as well?

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 11:08 AM) I just thought it was an interesting angle. Oh well. I meant the comment on the youtube video was ridiculous. Definitely good to see the on-field video. In the pitch before the balk, you could see on the TV broadcast AJ booking it like he was going to steal home; possibly had an effect mentally.

The lone comment is ridiculous. If it looks a dog and smells like a dog... The ump knew just as well as the players did when he saw it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 08:19 AM) Wow. There must be something behind the scenes we don't know about. This sounds like a similar situation that we tried last year - trade for Jackson with the hope to flip him for Dunn. The way I see this working out, they are shopping Jackson to teams for good prospects or immediate help, and then looking to move Q for Beachy or Lowe to replace Jackson. It sounds like we might be doing a similar thing as last year - get the replacement deal done before we get the first deal done.

Hot damn, that feels so good! Attaboy, Donkey!

Yeesss, Hambone Blastro!

Station to station. I won't complain if we still come away with 2+

Good poke! Don't stop now boys, get him around!

Is the MLB.tv feed working for anyone?

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 06:59 PM) Isn't Sabathia pitching on the Sunday before the all-Star break and likely out of the game. Thought I read that he plans to go to the Bahamas. I heard the Verlander will also be scheduled on the Sunday before AS game.

QUOTE (MAX @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 03:13 PM) I wish he'd just shut up and pitch. Save this stuff for the clubhouse. He is just sucking up to the fans with this crap. It's kind of a good thing to suck up to the fans considering we are the ones that are filling the seats. If the message we hear from the team is that nothing is changing, everyone is ok with losing, well I can imagine people will be less inclined to show up to the games. With Peavy giving some energy to the team, it may serve to energize the fanbase and show us that these guys actually care. And before asks the question, yes I truly do believe that a positive/winning attitude about the team will put more butts in the seats.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 02:36 PM) He's going to put one on the board today. Guaranteed.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 11:34 AM) head scratcher there. 2 was by far a bigger mess plot wise than 3. It was pretty straightforward for me. Not that the plot was disjointed, more that the flow of everything was off. None of the scenes seemed to fit together in the to make it flow, just a bunch of scenes that were all meant to advance the story without relating to each other. Maybe I should have been drunk to enjoy this one.

I just got mlb.tv; is it blacked out if the game is on Fox?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 11:16 PM) That was the best Transformers IMO. I've never left a movie theater mid-movie in my life, yet had I not driven my friend (and to a theater 30 minutes away, thanks middle of nowhere Missouri) I would have left 40 minutes in. And then at 1 hour. And then for the next 1.5 hours. I couldn't stand this movie- absolutely hated it. I enjoyed the second one far more than the third- everything just seemed so disjointed. And trust me, I know how just turn my brain off and enjoy a film for what it wants to be... I saw the Expendables in theaters and loved it.

Just watched the new Transformers. I feel like I just watched Michael Bay masturbate to his own bowel movement for 2.5 hours. Goddamnit.

Good piece of hitting there. And tip of the hat to Ozzie on the call.

Anyone up for a donkey show...?

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 10:12 AM) The Chinese lunch I had last week ended poorly. Food was great, and then I found a fly in the fried rice after I was nearly done with it. Flyed Rice I guess. That's actually on the menu, must have given you the wrong plate.

Forgot about Citizen Kane. I was supposed to see that as part of a film study class in college but I already had the DVD at home so I skipped out on the lecture to just watch it from the comfort of my own couch. And then the Sox came on tv...

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 01:24 AM) Kung Fu Panda Scarface Godfather Part II Exorcist Odd list to see that Kung Fu Panda is important enough to be listed along with Scarface and the Godfather... QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 07:51 AM) Pretty much any of the comic book movies except for the latest Batman. Same. No intention to see any of them either. I'll also throw in all 4 of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
