QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 1, 2008 -> 12:51 PM) I wanted to vote for Alexei....but just couldn't take him when Q has an OBP 130 points higher... Yeah but Alexei has been a pain in the ass on the basepaths for the opposition and of course his defense including his awesome play he made at third base won me over.But I will admit that is a ton of points higher of an OBP(iam torn iamshack).

Certainly wouldnt argue about CQ winning again but Alexei has been a rather stunning gentleman this month.

I have a feeling one day there are going to be alot of man crushes on Clayton Richard.Maybe his numbers havent progressed with every start but his mound presence has looked better every start.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Sep 1, 2008 -> 09:22 AM) Fixed and I changed your vote, even though you are wrong. Thanks,atleast shipps was honest about clicking the wrong button.Most would have just left it alone,but shipps vows to be honest with his fellow soxtalkians. And yes shipps is referring to himself in third person.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Sep 1, 2008 -> 09:17 AM) f***ing Florida voter already. I should have worded it better. Now we need an admin to rewrite the answers I do not have poll edit privileges here for some reason. We are the god damn blind leading the blind.

Err,I accidently clicked no but I meant for it to be a hit.The poll is flawed already!!!No wonder why they dont let me moderate Diamond club!

I say it should be a hit after hearing Yost b**** about it not even being close.Cmon Ned it was a 50/50 call IMO and there is no way you can shrug it off to not even being a close call.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 09:36 PM) So if 6 months from now the curculation is up at the Sun-Times, can we lay to bed this myth that Moroniti brought people to the paper? Anyone have circulation numbers now, or recently? Can't check rightnow, I am in St. Louis and borrowing a relatives really crappy computer. It takes forever just for Soxtalk to come up, I canjust imagine a google search or something. I miss high-speed. These are the top 100 list made in April of 08' I believe. http://www.burrellesluce.com/top100/2008_Top_100List.pdf

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 1, 2008 -> 07:02 AM) She doesn't even come close to EA imo. Yeah Iam with you.Monslave is more of a model for like Target or Walmart.

Iam working but Iam not really complaining about it. Making double time and a half can ease the pain a bit.Plus I already had enough barbacue the past two days to last me until next July.

Iam not sure I quite understand.You are digging up an article for only God knows when it was written and calling out Mark who has a history of having the strongest character and reputation on the Sox ball club?

Happy Birthday Tex.It works pretty well there for ya,the whole damn country parties today.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 03:27 PM) LOL, DBAHO's pet name will be Murray I wanted him to say "I gotta sweet gig for you guys tonight".

Iam glad the baseball gods started paying attention and allowed us to get Pedroia out.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 12:24 PM) I HATE Kiwi's. I mean this in a good way,but you really do sound exactly like their agent.

Sqwert you have the greatest sig I have ever seen.I have shown everyone at work and always get a laugh.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 02:36 PM) I agree, but I never heard the "stupid" remarks. There were members of the media (some of the beat reporters talking on the radio) talked alot about him being stupid.They used that exact word and I thought they were way out of line when they did.But for the most part The Score being the professional media that they are were the ones saying that.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 02:31 PM) I think that complaint was true, and even Floyd has talked about it. The problem with Gavin over the years was the deer in the headlights look he would get on the mound when he got into trouble. It seemed like he hated being on the mound. Even in Spring Training, guys were saying Floyd was walking around with a different attitude, and you could see it. The stuff has pretty much always been there. Looking like a deer in head lights and being accused of being a stupid person are totally different things.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 02:26 PM) Have to give a ton of credit to Gavin. Played with fire most of the day, but got the huge outs when he needed them most. The transformation from last year to this has been fantastic. Which goes to show all that crazy talk about "Gavin is stupid and Gavin has a low iq" was all bulls***.And the media seemed to buy into that talk also.

Is the Illinois defense really that bad?Last year they pulled it together as the year went on and I hope they do the same this year because Daniel and that Mizzou offense didnt even play close to what they are capable and still ripped them apart.

Have a swell one guys.

So the Bears are going to keep Haney?Thats surprising all the beat reporters were saying they would cut him and hope no one else would pick him up so they can put him on their practice squad.

QUOTE (Benchwarmerjim @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 09:36 PM) guess which team does not want to take the lead in the AL Central? I hate west coast trips Trust me Jim we feel the same frustration as you do.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 06:57 AM) Home Run Derby. Yeah we would play alot of that too.We would use a spongeball because it would level the playing field to where we could swing as hard as we could and the ball wouldnt go 300 feet.Which was important because the yard was small.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 09:33 AM) I'm heading to St. Louis right now. Go Mizzou!!! I'm a bit nervous but I'm thinking we'll pull through. Pretty experienced team now. THEY WONT CONTAIN THE JUICE!Seriously its such a huge game for both teams Iam really looking forward to it.
