QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 01:47 AM) What is to be known about this Spencer Arroyo kid? He is 21-year-old lefty who is having a pretty damn good year for Bristol so far. Only 4 starts so far, but so far so good... 21 IP, 17 H, 5 BB, 25 K. That's a 5.0 K:BB ratio, and a 1.04 WHIP. Today's start, he went 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 8 K. During interviews after the game yesterday, he gave a lot of credit to his catcher!! It was his best game pitched and the only time he was ever caught by Blackwood. I had the pleasure of catching a game in which he pitched while I was in VA. and I have to say, I like his style!!

QUOTE (MnSoxFan @ Jul 5, 2010 -> 05:32 PM) Salgado, 38th round SS who was committed to Kansas is in tonights box score for Bristol. He looks great out there, I thoroughly enjoyed watching him play. He's a sweet kid with lots of questions and a willingness to to take advice he's offered. I wish him all the best!!

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 10:09 AM) This is f***ing awesome. You are f***ing awesome. Chase is f***ing awesome. Baseball is f***ing awesome. OK ..this is why I hate reading what someone says and trying to interpret what they mean!! LOL Either you are being sincere and really believe everything is "f***ing awesome" or you're being sarcastic and basically saying "yeah yeah, everything is awesome, please shut up now" LMAO BUT ...if the first way I mentioned is how you meant it to be taken, then, Thank You tons ...AND if the second way I mentioned is how you meant it to be taken, then, Thank You tons!! hahaha ..If there is a 3rd way this could be interpreted and I missed it, my apologies ...I am f***ing awesome, but I'm not perfect! haha BTW ..It's in my honest opinion that MOST of you are pretty f***ing awesome yourselves!!!

also, don't know if you all know this yet or not, but Bristol's games are being broadcast on the net now ..as of their last home stand ..their away games still have to be read though boo, i know!!

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 01:25 PM) Only a matter of time, though a bit earlier than I thought. He was sporting a 12/7 BB:SO ratio in GF though. I saw your boy, Dan Black hit a HR this past week! He's doin' alright ..playin' 1b mostly.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 06:45 PM) He should promise to hit a HR for you everyday. He should, huh?! lol I was in VA watching some baseball ..I'm really liking this Bristol team!

Chase promised me he'd hit a HR for me today ...He's a man of his word!!

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 04:45 PM) Durham @ Knights Torres Barons @ Montgomery 7:05 Greenville @ Intimidators Serafin Billings @ Great Falls doubleheader, but in a delay. BriSox @ Pulaski Petricka HUH? really? ...Petricka started yesterday ... omg ..nevermind ..I'm too exhausted for this!! lol

QUOTE (OilCan @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 04:05 PM) Good to see Blackwood doing good so far! Keep it up!!! Thank You! I'll let him know of your support!!

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 08:32 PM) Bren's man had himself a night. Schwartz was a monster.. 6 RBI.. Dan Black! Greene went 1-2, R, BB, RBI. Great Falls went up against "Mr. No-Hitter" Patrick Schuster today. BTW Jeff, I'm glad you ditched the gameday links. Tired of trying to just find the boxscore. (you hear that flavum? ) All the guys did VERY well that night ..I was lucky enough to get to see it!!

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 09:53 AM) What about players with girlfriends, fiancees, wives, and even families? Love of baseball doesn't pay the bills, and you're still traveling all the time even though you get minor league pay. It's a pretty tough lifestyle, and I really commend the players who can do it despite being underdog shots to ever even make it to the show. It's definitely not easy. It takes A LOT of communication, trust and love to make it work ..being the fiancee of a player isn't easy. Knowing alllll those girls are not only willing to get with your man, but that they would do anything just to do it ..it's hard, but Chase makes it easier for me ..he doesn't drink, or party and if an ant crosses the sidewalk beside him and it's female ..he tells me about it! lol ..He doesn't like being away from me any more than I like him to be gone, but Baseball has been a part of his life longer than I have and I'll be damned if he's not going to see this thing through to however far it takes him. I have to support him NO MATTER WHAT.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 04:03 PM) I didn't really know who Katy Perry was before this thread, so I looked her up back then and thought she was just pretty. After seeing those new pictures, I am a very big Katy Perry fan. Chase and I are as well!! She's a hottie!

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 12:03 PM) No word on whom the Barons are cutting loose. Nobody is being promoted, Charlotte only has one open spot and that's Threets' spot. If I had to guess, it would be either Negron, Greene would be playing over him anyway. Or, Angel Garcia, he's a reclaimation project who hasn't pitched all that well. One player has to go, Negron didn't play last night, but was present in the dugout, as was Garcia. It'll be Negron ..I'm callin' it right now!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 01:05 PM) I think you are being pretty naive. In addition, the minimum salary isn't 60K. It is anywhere from 2 to 3K a month (for the period you are playing) to what the minor league free agents get or guys who have already played at the major league level get. And it is those guys that are minor league free agents (typically those guys are AAAA type players who might make a decent living). Still, it takes a pretty rare player to earn 60K a year in AAA. And it ain't easy to go find some other random job to make a decent living. These guys have it pretty rough. My thoughts exactly!!! Thank you!

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 01:45 PM) And to think people say I'm too picky with women. Hey, I just call it like I see it!! LOL

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 11:14 AM) I'm actually really excited about this. I'm excited for him, but they could have waited until after I left VA. to move him up!!

Jose Martinez goes up to W-S from Bristol ...I was looking forward to having him cook for me, but congratulations to him!! Justin Greene going to B'ham ...wouldn't be surprised to see Negron going home.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 09:28 AM) Well, women dont like other pretty women, thats just a fact. I'm not that kind of a woman ..I just don't think she's pretty, she has a weird face to me. I could name gorgeous women all day every day and it wouldn't bother me a bit. I don't consider myself to be all that attractive either so I have no reason to say she's not if I didn't honestly think she is. ...I have plenty of reason to back my opinion up also ..I think her forehead is huge, her eyes are gorgeous, but too far apart and her lips are too thin ...those are just my opinions! Obviously someone thinks she's beautiful, or she wouldn't be a model.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 03:47 PM) I realize that, and I have no problem making at least around $50,000-$60,000 (I believe the minimum in AAA is $60,000) for playing baseball half of my year, and spend the other half doing real work. That's AAA .. I don't know if Price has ever been in triple A before now ..that's 11-12 years of making $800-$900 biweekly, during Baseball season.

I don't think Decker is all that great either ...she's ok at best. IMO

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 11:32 AM) Yikes. That could knock him out the rest of the season. It will.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 11:31 AM) What does Chase do or going to do for income in the offseason? Has he ever considered playing winter ball in Latin America or South America in the future? He works with kids in the community on Baseball. He refs Basketball games at the local rec. center ..just things like that. He is too much of a family guy to ever spend his whole year playing Baseball. Although he loves the game , it's not the most important thing in his life!!

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 06:22 AM) yawn... I would play 25 years in the minor leagues if I got paid to play baseball. They don't get paid that much! You would barely survive if that was your only income.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 04:55 PM) I much prefer my Bieber-cut anyways. HAHA Beiber cut?! ..No way?! ..You have Beiber hair?
