I havent seen SS2k on here this much for awhile.

The dumbest thing is the 4 dollar fee you have to pay to e-mail tickets to someone. That seems a bit much for such an easy transaction.

When does Broadway pitch next? Every time I look at the these threads I never see his name.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 12:36 PM) That is true. I just think the confidence they're gaining lately is really going to spark their offense the rest of the way. Lets hope I'm wrong, and they go back to slumping when they face the Sox, Twins, and A's. Tough to slump when all you do is play Tampa for 2 weeks.

He threw some pitches last night that were 100 percent better than when he was up last year. Good luck to him.

Owens is our next lead off hitter though. Ihave faith in his ability to get on base and slap some singles. The serious base stealing will come with time. Young is our next real star I believe, but I still dont think he is ready this year.

i wish we could

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 11:27 AM) Actually the point is that we are getting past all of that. If you say something about anyone else, you are gone. Its much easier than the old system of determining who said to whom, and how bad it was, and what context it was etc... This is much more cut and dry. Say something about someone, get a few days off. It also takes the angle of post totals and friendships out of the equation as it is right there in black and white for people to refer to. with this "clean slate" approach, does that mean I get my alternate personalities back?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 11:23 AM) Well since there is only one person here with 30,000 posts , I think everyone else is all right "Nothin to be proud of Rus"

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 11:23 AM) Well since there is only one person here with 30,000 posts, I think everyone else is all right SSR=redefining hovering. That was fast. Seriously though, its a true statement.

I still think that whatever is said. People with 30,000 posts are going to get more benefit of the doubt than someone who has 14. No matter how much you say it, its still going to be the case because you know the poster's history of contributing, and you know that they will continue to post relevant facts and intelligent arguments, whereas the newbie may just be a hothead.

Just a disclaimer, you are better off trying to get tix from the box office. I just unloaded a pair iin game 3 for 300 bucks, so the market rate is starting to set itself. I know stubhub etc are going to be even more.

I paid for mine yesterday, I have 2 lower box seats for the entire playoffs. Turns out I cant even make it to any games int he first round, and now i have to sell the tix.

I wonder if they would be interested in contreras? Did he clear waivers?

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 09:49 PM) ...or they just want to spite the Red Sox as usual... I think you got that backwards, its the Red Sox who try to spite the Yankees.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 08:27 PM) The team with the ability to come from behind in games and win lately. Meanwhile, once we get down by more than 1 run, the game's an automatic loss this month. whats our record since the break, and whats clevelands?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 08:23 PM) We have? Are you sure you're not talking about the Indians? Last time I checked, we were the team 31 games over .500 with the best record in the AL. Who are the indians?

Clean slate, yes!!!!!!

Geoff b****es

wow, is everyone going to start posting their suicide notes soon? There are nights like this, the game is not over, we have come back in games like this before.

Good call, they arent playing Kanny unfortunatley. It looks like tickets are 7 bucks, not bad at all. Looks like they are playing a team I havent really heard of, the potomac nationals and the Kinston Indians.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 05:14 PM) Ya, he was talking for september. Get aj some rest, be able to pinch run for aj, etc.. Thats right, brain fart. The real question is which catcher do we bring up then?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 05:08 PM) A left handed line drive hitter who doesnt K is something we need on this team. We have plenty of guys who can jack a homer, but we are missing guys who can get that 2 strike hit with regularity. Walker can hit, and who would you like to have coming off the bench in the playoffs, Walker or Timo. hmmm, thats a toughy. .300 hitter or a .214 hitter?
