The Ginger Kid

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 22, 2006 -> 09:33 PM) Him and Bonderman are studs in the making. They got Zumaya who should develop into something special in the pen, Maroth IS solid (despite what people on ST think) and Rogers is still a crafty vet. Robertson is pitching way over his head as is most of there bullpen. Verlander is great, but how many innings has he thrown in a season? I think we'll see him begin to fade in August. Their working him late into games and that's going to catch up with him over time, he's too young. EDIT: never mind, just read this up above. my bad.

He got screwed by Eddings last night and still hung in there. He didn't have much choice but to throw it right over the plate to Frank on that first homer after the count went to 3-1. I thought he was painting the corners really well.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ May 22, 2006 -> 07:11 PM) The real problem is that people nowadays tend to get 'offended' or 'outraged' just for the sake of doing so. Ginger, you say that republicans don't want democracy, they want a theocracy. I will grant you that there are probably some that do, maybe the same amount of Democrats that want communism or Socialism in some form or another. on that we agree. Extremes on both sides. I think some on the left have an irrational fear of extreme right wingers that colors their view of ALL republicans, and the same is true of Bushies who fear a socialized nation run by married homosexuals. wouldn't it be beautiful to just clean house and start all over?

I've disliked Nelson ever since he started that fight with a security guard in the bullpen at Fenway. Bush league. That and the fact that he looks exactly like a cop who harrassed me in college. But if I can learn to love AJ, why not Nelson? Jeff Nelson? Yes!

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ May 22, 2006 -> 07:59 PM) shut up, he just won the game!! that, was an awesome win.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ May 22, 2006 -> 04:31 PM) ozuna blows in LF. ugh.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:11 PM) Let me be the first to say that if we use Jenks in mop-up duty tonight....I'm going to be pissed. Ozzie told farmer in the pregame that he would get an inning tonight. He hasn't pitched in too long.

detrot and kc is over, 5-0 in the 4th

Widger Uribe Anderson woo hoo

for a guy whose confidence is shaky, this ain't good. Football in the groin!

Eddings has his head up his ass - JG was hitting the corners

QUOTE(jphat007 @ May 22, 2006 -> 05:22 PM) Joe not hitting lefties very well this year. Joe hasn't had a hit since last Monday.

QUOTE(Wong & Owens @ May 22, 2006 -> 04:44 PM) If i were that one kid, I would have brought a big sign that said "I Graduated! Thank You Satan, Dark Lord and Master!" And held it up while the Our Father was being recited. You exercise your freedom of religion, I'll exercise mine, and in short time we'll see that Christian value system in full effect. I actually like these conflicts. It makes for great entertainment. Republicans always show their true colors: they want to legislate every aspect of our lives, starting with morality. They wipe their ass with the constitution. They've been in control of all three branches and they still whine like little b****es about "activist leftist judges." They don't want democracy, they want theocracy. And I say let them have it. Speed the revolution.

singleton interviewing frank on the radio - Frank saying all the right things.

ozuna blows in LF. ugh.

i dig the sanford and son theme music. Jason, two words about graduation: grad school. delay the anguish as long as you can

welcome back David Chase! The first episode I've seen his name in the writing credits and you can sure tell the difference. How funny was the Mickey Rooney/crystal meth reference? LOL

So much for turning Alcatraz into Juvenile Hall... Link SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- A 7-year-old boy has become one of the youngest, if not the youngest, person to swim from Alcatraz Island to San Francisco's Aquatic Park. Braxton Bilbrey is a second-grader from Glendale, Arizona, who has completed several short-scale youth triathlons. Bilbrey was accompanied on the estimated 1.4-mile swim by his coach, two other swimmers and a Coast Guard boat. (Watch "one in 10 million" swimmer train -- 1:03) As he reached shore, Braxton was besieged by reporters. He told them he considered his accomplishment "pretty cool." Asked what the hardest part was, he replied: "The swimming." Asked if the strong current was a problem, he said: "Not really." And asked about being a "brave little boy," Braxton responded: "I think I am." Stacey Bilbrey originally wasn't sold on the idea of her son swimming from Alcatraz, but she accepted it once he proved he was dedicated to his goal. "For a 7-year-old to be that motivated and stick with a goal that long is amazing," she said. Alcatraz, once a notorious federal prison that housed some of the nation's infamous criminals, including Chicago mobster Al Capone, is now a tourist site that attracts about 1 million visitors a year. It also draws a fair share of swimmers who attempt the crossing as part of the annual Escape from Alcatraz triathlon. Braxton got the idea when he saw a magazine story about a 9-year-old boy who made the swim. Johnny Wilson, a fourth grader completed the swim in 53-degree waters last October.

making matters worse, detrot plays 4 in KC this week. Zito is in the Zone. good luck, Jon. You'll need it.

I would love to see the media comparing the Thomas fan reaction to the Thome fan reaction, with the former characterized as "classy". God forbid Sox fans are seen as stooping to the level of tribe fans. What happened to Thome was shameful.

I don't know how many times I've sworn I'd never read his work again, but I'm doing it again. His lame ass effort to twist the facts so that "god fearing" Barret is the victim and AJ is the "punk" instigator is just breathtaking in its ignorance and bias.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 21, 2006 -> 02:33 PM) Yeah. Uribe better shape up or he might be riding the pine here pretty soon. I think being out of shape is his problem. Granted, his usual off season was cut short by almost a month by the playoffs. But he showed up out of shape to spring training and he's paying the price. I'm a big Juan fan, but enough is enough.

good thing farnsworth ain't on the flubs anymore. we'd have a couple of guys heading to the DL!

I wish he did have a chance. Had he not played all those years in lousy Montreal, he'd certainly have a much better shot. He was awesome in his prime. Power, speed and great defense.
