Just woke up. I enjoy this game.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 23, 2012 -> 09:19 AM) LOL, not the US Civil war. The Marvel Civil war. Caulfield finally outsmarted himself.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2012 -> 02:24 PM) http://sports.yahoo.com/news/philip-humber...x-mariners.html So far....you'd have to go with 1.Loaiza 2.Thornton 3.Humber 4.Contreras 5.Jenks or Santos Floyd in there too.

IN OTHER BREAKING NEWS The sky is blue.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2012 -> 02:30 AM) Boston's in no position to add the Rios contract since they are already dealing with Lackey, Dice-K (final year, thankfully), Crawford, Beckett, Ortiz, Youkilis, Pedroia, A-Gone, etc. They couldn't even really legimately afford to keep Papelbon at the back of their pen for the numbers and years he was asking. And I'm sure they have had to eat a decent part of Bryd's contract as well. The one argument for Rios as opposed to National League or even AL West players is that he should be more familiar with the pitching staffs in that league and the ballparks...although things have changed quite a bit since 2009. But Boston is the greatest run franchise ever (because Theo is God) that can afford anything.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 23, 2012 -> 01:41 AM) The minute Boston wants Alex Rios, you trade him. The second Boston wants Alex Rios, you trade him. Please call Boston now. I only rip Alex here in response to your post. He's had a nice April and I applaud him. If Boston calls I try to pillage them for Rios & Floyd.

PK?

So, as I mistakenly said in the Catch All AL Central, why is Addison Reed not the closer?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 05:29 PM) Because he's not on the Tigers and you're in the wrong thread (I got caught last week, so now I get someone) LOL @ me. Wow. I'm just gonna remove those... (but leave this)

It all makes sense. In some weird Space Jam s***, AJ stole Dunn's power. It's taken Dunn a year to restore it and AJ a year to harness it.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 04:04 PM) Hey look, Sox gave Danks a lead and he gave it right back. No f***in way. Insert acronym

Motion to petition the Sox to change the slogan from "Appreciate the Game" to "f*** ALL THE HATERS"

Man do I enjoy not Jeff Cox at 3rd.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 03:39 PM) ??? Quin Is So Tired of These Acronyms

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 03:38 PM) Ha and i have no idea what JDINAA means excepts the John Danks is not ... ?? an ace.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 03:27 PM) That looks familiar, but I'm half asleep. Who is it? http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/neil-degrasse-tyson-reaction

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 03:27 PM) JDINAA QISTOTA

There goes my dream for 2 perfects.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 01:26 PM) I was the first one to here to say they would contend.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 04:06 AM) Except please, no connection to JOHN CARTER. That $200 million writeoff forced Ross, the Disney studio head, to lose his job. ...John Carter has no connection to Marvel or the Civil War arc.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 04:08 AM) If you look at both of their splits, I think you'll agree that de Aza is unquestionably the better player vs. RHP, and Brent is the better player vs. LHP. That's all I'm saying. They are essentially the same player. They both have good speed, decent outfielders, with a little pop. The combination of the two of them, in a platoon situation, is much better than either one of them, alone. Regarding my "fascination' with Lillibridge; don't you think the guy has earned some playing time, after how he busted his tail last season? Have you forgotten all of the diving catches, and the 13 homers in limitted playing time? I'd try to find him some at bats vs. LHP, and a platoon with de Aza is the obvious fit. I'd rather Lillibridge just super-sub but you don't platoon one of your starters when he's earned a job. Lilli would make a great super-sub, that's it. He can play the OF, 1B, and the rest of the infield in a pinch. I'd rather he get the AB's then Escobar. But a platoon is ridiculous considering the main thing Ozzie did well last year was use Lilli in the best way possible to hide his weaknesses and maximize his strength. De Aza hit .263 last year against lefties. Lilli hit .228 against righties. Sure, maybe you sit De Aza occasionally against lefties, but a platoon is ridiculous considering how productive De Aza is being as a starter and has done nothing to have that taken from him.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 03:56 AM) Robin is doing a nice job, but he is mismanaging de Aza and Lillibridge. He has only given Brent 10 at bats, and 7 of those have been against RHP. Lillibridge demonstrated his ability to hit LHP last season, and he should be given all of de Aza's playing time against lefties. I love de Aza, but he looks lost when facing lefties. This situation just screams for a platoon. Let them share CF and leadoff. I keep saying it, but it's frustrating to watch this situation develop. It's so obvious, that it's a "no-brainer." Your infatuation with Lillibridge reminds me of some people's love affair with Jayson Nix in '09.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 03:08 AM) LOL are you crazy? Chet Lemon, Frank Thomas, Luis Aparicio, Jim Landis, Mike Hershberger, Bill Melton, Eric Soderholm, Julio Cruz, Richie Zisk, Carlton Fisk, Harold Baines, Rock Raines, Jim Essian, Tommy John, Wilbur Wood, Eddie Stanky, Oz Guillen, Gary Peters, JC Martin, One Dog, Carlos Quentin, Carlos Lee, Mark Buehrle, Carlos May, Dick Allen, how many players do you want me to list. Yeah, I'm not a Sox fan. I looked those names up on Google to troll everybody. SOX FOREVER. You're like my brother: You're a Sox fan but you REALLY f***ing love Ozzie to the point of coming off as more of an Ozzie-fan than a Sox fan. That being said, you're a Sox fan.

I really wish that Marvel could repurchase the rights to Spider-Man, X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and Daredevil. Imagine a Civil War movie. THAT would be great.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! YOU GOT YOUR GIFT YESTERDAY.
