Yeah, I know SINCE, lol.

 

3 month long vacations will do that to a person. Six weeks, fine. But this is too long.

 

That's why I went to the library and checked out about 30 books today...can't wait for my teaching job to start at the end of the month (in Shanghai) and to forget about this year's White Sox until the offseason at least.

Are you married? If not, are there available women for you in Shanghai? Do you do well over there?

G/f in the Philippines. "Mistress" in Bandung, Indonesia, lol.

 

Joking.

 

Well...Americans are more popular in Taiwan, Thailand and the Phillipines, but I do alright Greg, thanks for asking.

 

Just got divorced finally this year after being separated for 6 years. So finally can breathe again and enjoy being single and unattached.

 

The girl I really want to marry lives in Nanjing, China.

Their national team could beat the Sox right now.

Other than :

 

Mis-reading balls off the bat

 

Taking incorrect routes

 

Acquiescing to infielders on CF plays

 

Pulling up short on the warning track (fear of the wall)

 

Mis-timing jumps at the wall

 

Overthrowing the cutoff man

 

Throwing to the wrong base allowing runner to advance, ......he's doing great out there.

He's everything that is wrong with long-term contracts.

Guys like Rios get one and this happens.

 

Very very sad.

You'd think he'd have pride but I guess laziness is simply instilled in some people.

I think they are making sure Viciedo doesn't make those mistakes and that's why he's not up here yet.

 

He should've been pulled after the first inning today, it was clear he had no interest in playing today. But Ozzie didn't, so we were all lucky enough to see him in the third inning turning a single into a triple on an ole' attempt at fielding.

 

What an embarrassment he is.

 

I have grilled Juan Pierre in the past, but at least the dude tries out there. Rios should be ashamed of himself, and Ozzie should be as well, for playing him.

Gee, ya, think?

 

 

Rob Mackowiak says hi.

 

Granted, I'll allow that Mackowiak was never supposed to be a CF and was forced into it, whereas Rios should really be an above average CF.

He's everything that is wrong with long-term contracts.

He reminds me of Alfonso Soriono.

I think that Soxtalk.com needs more "Alex Rios sucks" threads.

The whole first page could be nothing but threads trashing Rios and it still wouldn't fully articulate what a waste of space he is.

But it isn't going to happen. threads merged.

After Wednesday's Nationally broadcast game over ESPN even the announcers were complaining about Rios and his lack of hustle and effort
