Kalapse

David Dejesus just went deep. 2-1 Twins in the 8th.

2-0 Twins in the 6th.

QUOTE(DMoneyIsMine @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 08:24 PM) Barry Zito. Supposedly an extremley nice guy, gets along with everyone on his team and would add nothing but a sure fire ace to go along with an already solid rotation. Let's not forget the guy is a former Cy Young award winner and is only 26 years old. Seems like the kind of person who wouldn't effect the chemisrty of this ball club, and basically would add a great talent to this already solid Chicago White Sox team. If they add a Barry Zito, how great. Could you just imagine? Whoo Kenny! This team would be smokin' $$$$. Zito is a free agent at the end of this season, if you're going to trade for him it's going to cost you a s*** load talent wise, then you have to make sure you can resign him. His contract will be rigoddamndiculous. $10mil+ for an underperforming pitcher.

I was flipping through the channels at 8:00 and caught the trailer. It looked pretty decent. It's hard for me to take Jack Black seriously in anything he does considering his past roles. There were some weird little demon things in the forest that looked pretty cool too, they could make this into a very good movie.

QUOTE(Lefty Of Love @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 07:17 PM) The best part is when Carlton Fisk tags out two guys coming into homeplate. That's the only part I make sure never to miss. I have made sure to see that play every time I go to the game and I make a comment about it every time. It's just one of the craziest plays in baseball history.

QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 07:15 PM) paulie HAS to get in at this point. I also found a quote of mine from a week ago: QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 02:31 PM) I think the obvious choice for 1st base backup is PK. His power numbers are higher than any other 1st baseman other than Teixiera. He has the Highest OBP of any 1st baseman with atleast 161 ABs other than Ibanez and PK has a higher OPS than any other firstbaseman other than Teixiera. PK should be an All-Star this season. Anyone who thinks PK isn't an All-Star just take a look at the stats and then plead your case.

QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 07:14 PM) i can't find it, but i'm pretty sure that chuck beltran has an inordinate amount of votes for a guy with nine homers as well. Found it: Outfield Beltran starting is stupid. Same with Edmonds. My NL outfield: Abreu, Cabrera, Carlos Lee, Andruw Jones. I know that's 4 players but it's hard not to have Jones starting in the All-Star game.

QUOTE(soxhawks @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 07:03 PM) hockey can and will recover once the league gets competitive once again the fans will come back, hockey is still better than basketball. the biggest problem with hockey is the expansion teams, they should get rid of carolina, nashville, florida, anaheim, atlanta, and phoenix to name a few. you knew there was something wrong when winnepeg moved to phoenix. Uh, hell no. I think the NBA is watered down and the 3rd best sport to watch behind Basball and Football but there is no way in hell Hockey is better than Basketball.

Kevin Brown esque.

Seeing how I don't give a s*** about Hockey my opinion of JR is 180s different from the rest of you. I love it when you goes on his tangents and gets everyone all pissed off. An athlete telling it exactly as he sees it is great thing in my mind but I guess that's just because I'm not a hockey fan so I'm not affended by his comments.

WAIT! The Marlins are shopping Burnett, that is the first I've I've heard of this.

QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 06:47 PM) no doubt. and clearly tony womack should have more votes than tad. nothing gets me as pissed off as these standings. it's such an indictment against fans' intelligence. The Yankees always get a s*** load of votes, they don't care if Womack is batting .234, they're still gonna vote for him because he wears the pinstripes. I've been pushing for Taco Texaria to take over the lead at 1st Base ahead of Tino Martinez since the first update came out and finally this week Teixiera has taken the lead, so atleast the fans have done one thing right. I'm impressed that Brian Roberts and Miggy Tejada have gotten so many votes this year. Especially Tejada who's beating the crap out of Yankee Derek Jeter. Mike Piazza starting a catcher in the National League is a f***ing joke, if Ramon Hernandez doesn't start it will be a travesty.

QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 06:20 PM) bill mueller is just absurd. i can't wait to see who francona chooses. The backup at third baseman would have been Melvin Mora before he got injured but now I'm thinking Blalock for sure.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 06:25 PM) Aweful would seemingly mean good if it were a word. Why must you do that?

A.J. Burnett has some serious durability issues that must be looked at before even thinking about trading for him. '99 - GS: 7 IP: 41.1 ERA: 3.48 '00 - GS: 13 IP: 82.2 ERA: 4.79 '01 - GS: 27 IP: 173.1 ERA: 4.05 '02 - GS: 29 IP: 204.1 ERA: 3.30 '03 - GS: 4 IP: 23.0 ERA: 4.70 '04 - GS: 19 IP: 120.0 ERA: 3.68 '05 - GS: 15 IP: 103.1 ERA: 3.14 He's played 7 professional seasons in his career (5 Full -1 for Rookie season -1 for injury in '03) and over those 7 seasons he's only had 1 seaon of 200 IP or more and he's only had 2 seasons of 150 IP or more. In the other 5 seosons he didn't even break 121 IP in any of them. This should be a serious concern for any pitcher that thows as hard as he does. Last year was his comback season after having Tommy John's surgery at the beginning of the '03 season. He has only missed a few starts since then which is incouraging seeing how TJ surgery tends to strengthen the arms of some pitchers who have the surgery. Before you just start throwing McCarthy, Sweeney, Anderson, Marte or any other prospects/major league talent at them you first have to be absolutely sure that he is fully back from the injury and a flare up is not on the horizon. I know that it is impossible to gaurentee a player will not get injured but when you're going to be dealing some of your most promising prospects and/or major league players you have to take into account his past injuries.

I don't know why you would like Timo seeing how he is an awful player, who does not deserve to start. But I guess he has some qualities a person might like. I do agree with you as just about every person on this site would agree, Timo must go when Gload comes back if not sooner. Welcome to Soxtalk

QUOTE(TLAK @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 06:06 PM) It was certainly childish and even a little boorish. If I wasn't aware of your skills from how much you do for this site I'd question the amount of time on your hands but you're so good it probably only took a couple minutes work, if that. Prankish and immature, maybe, but I loved every moment and also reading this thread though the week. Great job to you and your helpers! It took a couple hours for Ozzie to get up to that many votes but I was at work while my laptop did the voting so I didn't have to sit there and click thousands of times like a lot of the people who flooded had to do, I just don't have that kind of time. Not to mention, the program I was using would vote much faster and at a higher rate than someone who was clicking non stop could do. Everybody worked together to get the job done to all of you who helped.

Justice has been served. The ultra deserving Mark Teixiera is now in the lead. Rejoice b****es!!! Now we gotta get Ichiro out of the outfield, the guy isn't even hitting .300, he sure as hell doesn't deserve to start. I could live with a Ramirez, Guerrero, Damon outfield. I'm interested to see the NL update when it comes out to see if Ramon Hernandez has made any progress.

Nay.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 02:51 PM) All I want is a 4-2 trip, and I don't think that is to much to ask. I have a felling, inorder to do that the Sox will have to sweep the Tigers.
