Find out what Kenny would do, then do the opposite for each.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 27, 2013 -> 08:37 PM) Have there been any reports about exactly what Cooper was screaming at Flowers about tonight? Or why Ventura stays quiet?

QUOTE (flavum @ May 26, 2013 -> 11:40 AM) Sox traded Drew Garcia to the Rockies. He seemed to be a Sox organizational guy--got a lot of spring training time over the last couple years. He gawn. Sox get a PTBNL. Rockies have a lot of pretty good prospects.

Herm has lost some weight the last few years. Wonder how much?

Neal Cotts back in the Show

Geez. Angels' Aybar gets thrown out in a rundown between second and third with no outs, and the Angel announcers keep saying what great baserunning it was.

We should sign Vandy's pitching coach/manager.

Bell has been dissed several times on SoxTalk in different threads, so I thought I would start one just on him. I'm not going to defend Bell -- Hawk can do that, but here is a chance for his critics to get specific on his shortcomings. What are the biggest complaints about Buddy Bell? Other than the below average (almost lousy) farm system he inherited.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 11, 2013 -> 07:55 PM) It's not a matter of giving up. It's a matter of recognizing this team can't get to 88 wins, which is probably the minimum to win a 2nd wildcard spot. They're an awful team. Playoffs!!?? PLAYOFFS?? Where is Coach Mora when you need him

Greene lloked like Steve Sax. Dunn looked like Dunn.

I don't think Keppinger ever played football or hockey or reffed a soccer game.

It still blows my mind that teams throw this kind of money around to 16 yr old kids, where in the States they can't do that.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2013 -> 07:46 PM) This is absolutely the worst offensive Sox team in a very long time. Of course, they'll keep the same lineup for tomorrow I'm sure. and next year.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 2, 2013 -> 07:29 PM) Babip in my mind is a dumb stat. Keppinger was put in positions to succeed as that is a Tampa focus. The white sox plug guys in and off they go. When was the last time they ever had a platoon situation? Jungle Jim Rivera and Jim McAnaney in right field in 1959.

Just because AJ gave Reed a dirty look does not mean Reed threw at him. But, AJ still had the look after the game.

Chris Nelson traded to Yanks.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2013 -> 08:44 PM) How good you are has nothing to do with what kind of leader you are. I don't think so.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 1, 2013 -> 08:01 PM) ADA! Seems like Washington made a huge mistake leaving the starter in so long. Washington waaay overated as manager.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2013 -> 07:54 PM) Nothing. Major trades aren't made in may. Is Peavy for 2-3 prospects who can hit considered a major trade?

Gillaspie certainly a better hitter than Keppinger.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 1, 2013 -> 06:48 PM) Makes me think trading Peavy at mid-season before he wears down in the 2nd half wouldn't be the worst possible thing in the world, because he gets the Sox the highest amount back in return. Especially a contending NL team, maybe the Rockies or DBacks, that need another veteran pitcher to get them over the hump. Nobody else would get much back. What do you think Peavy would bring in a trade in the next 30 days -- assuming he keeps pitching well in his next 5-6 starts? I don't mean specific names, of course, but what kind of prospects? Someone like what the Braves gaves us a few years ago, or someone who is ready to be brought up to majors? The Red Sox are in first place and are loaded with prospects who can hit (unlike us). Peavy should make the BoSox drool.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 1, 2013 -> 07:31 PM) Jeff Keppinger, you are terrible, sir. Wonder if he always had that open stance......

Unfortunately, our pick in 2014 will be much higher than our 2013 pick.

QUOTE (MnSoxFan @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 03:59 PM) All Earley seems to need is a chance to play. He hit all of last year and seemed to drive in a lot of big runs. Doing the same this past week. Right!! If Hawkins had numbers like that at W-S, FSB woould be going crazy.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 30, 2013 -> 05:25 PM) How can one stand by their stance. If they are in a stance, then they are in fact standing, and cannot stand next to their stance. What comes first, standing or the stance?
