QUOTE(southsideirish @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 03:25 PM) If your talking about yesterday's game then I think you are wrong about that. You don't want to lose your manager in a tight 2 run or 1 run ball game. talking about yesterday and the finale of the twins game.

I hope Frank takes the high road so Ozzie looks like a real ass. He seriously is getting on my goddamn nerves with this. Don't talk to your players, talk to the f***ing umps and defend your players. That's your job. Your job isn't to provide a nice soundbite. He has too much of a big mouth. It seems like him and KW are trying to draw him out and talk his own way off the team.

I'm going to the game both nights. Going to be great. GO SOX!!!!!

Why do you guys keep asking for Hunter to be plunked. It's obvious it's not going to happen. I think the best chance you have of it happening is if Torii would do something similar or worse. Ozzie looks like a puss compared to last year. It seems that he doesn't want to argue any calls or do anything. I just want the Sox to win. Don't care how, just do it.

I don't lose interest in it, but I've become too busy nowadays where I don't think about it. I used to be one of those guys who would anticipate a game release for months. Now I'm just, oh, Live is coming out tommorow, I think I'll pick up a copy. I try to PS2 whenever I can, but usually there's a conflict. That's why I've only gone through 3 seasons since winning my 7th WS championship in MVP.

I'm going to be there as well. Hopefully Contreras dominates.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 17, 2005 -> 02:49 PM) You can't go wrong with either bbb or realgm... i like how bbb is set up much more ever since the over haul. The boards at realgm look kinda funny to me. Anyway, who are you over at realgm? nitetrain8603

I wanted Willie to check up too. Anyway, that's why you don't steal with your only out. They knew it was coming and Olivo is behind the plate. Dumb move.

What happened to that girl???

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 17, 2005 -> 02:42 PM) I dont know but they were talking about this on SnR last time. Every time we get 2 wins in a series people start making these threads before the game and it jinxes us every time.......at least this season. From now on lets keep it quiet ok. Seriously. Someone always finds the need to open their big yap about a sweep and it doesn't happen. Stop making these threads already people. Wait til it actually happens to make one.

Why did PK swing on first pitch?? It's not like he was given a golden ball to swing at or anything.

2-0 mariners. Jinxes all over this game. Sleep time.

11 games into the season and we're already talking about deadline deals?? You need to wait at least until late June to tell what you need.

You could check your tvguide channel.

Crede all the way

Thanks for the jinx. We probably aren't going to win due to the fact that Ozzie likes to experiment in the last game of our series with every team so far. We'll probably be benching PK for Gload today or something.

I actually think that our offense did make Franklin look better than he actually is. Look at all the pitchers we faced and most of them looked great and way better than what they are. My main example being Kevin Millwood.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 01:34 PM) As it stands he will not be getting the max. Shouldn't have got the max before this happened anyway. The nba is pretty ridiculous when it comes to handing out money. Once all of his test results come back we should know how it is gonna stand when it comes to money. I will be stunned if he gets the max even after the results come back. Because you know that it will be in the back of everyone's mind that it can come back. At this point he keeps getting the irregular heart beat but they have found nothing at all. That in my opinion anyway cannot be a good thing considering all the specialists he has been to. Wouldn't one of them find something small even? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...urry/index.html It can, but it most likely won't. This has been discussed about several guys around the league who's had it happen to them once. Hakeem had it happen to him and I don't think people didn't want him anymore for the same money. It was a one time thing. I've even talked to guys who've had the same thing he had and they said it appeared once or twice, but it wasn't anything major and he plays sports up the wazoo. Also the doctors said it's very common to find in people. He's not going to get less of a contract for this. Also with the new CBA being done, possibly by the end of this week, max contracts will probably be around 5 years which is not that big of a risk.

Go to RealGM.com and it let's you talk about every team. The Bulls board is about the 3rd biggest and it's gotten some dap. Lots of true insiders there too. Bulls4Ever is affiliated with RealGM, but not quite as good IMHO. Just make sure when you sign up that you introduce yourself and don't make dumb posts like Frank Williams for Shaq. It also has a trade checker and everything. You'd love it. I know I do.

QUOTE(farmteam @ Apr 16, 2005 -> 05:21 PM) Any more news on Brandon Rush? Also, where's the Illini Basketball message board? Brandon Rush has limited it to two teams. The Illini and Oklahoma. He's still leaning towards the NBA if he's a 1st rounder(which I think he would be). For college he said right now that he's leaning towards Illinois and he's been talking for them for a while. Illiniboard.com I think has a main message board.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 09:51 PM) Seems to be a bad trend on Soxtalk in the last few weeks............ :headshake Seriously, too many dumb threads around here. Tommorow I expect a thread that says this, "All 0 of our players didn't go 4-4, we should trade them or send them down."

Too quick of a game. Maybe everytime Buehrle pitches at home, that should count as half-price night too.

I've tried this and it hasn't worked for me. Basically you change the proxies, but I've tried it multiple times(and i know I've done it right) and it hasn't worked.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) ehh I think we should get Ben Sheets in our rotation.... take out Clemens.. You're right. We'll use Roger for long relief.

Former North Carolina coach Matt Doherty; Duke assistant Chris Collins; Rick Majerus, Digger Phelps and Fran Fraschilla, all of whom have ties to the area or the Big East. Those are the guys I would look hard at. Matt Doherty is a really good recruiter. I would at least hire him as an assistant. Chris Collins will be a good coach once he becomes a coach, but I think he'll Dave Leaito this team as well. The other guys seem like guys who would stay for the long haul.
