QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 20, 2011 -> 10:25 PM) The Sox have gone from the "new car" smell to the "omg who the f*** threw up in my backseat" smell. Im thinking more BBO smell from Seinfeld

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 10:27 PM) But it seems like that's what it's going to take. Basically being 10+ games out until we're allowed to be concerned or overly concerned. And even then somebody would probably bring up the '91 Braves or the Rockies of the last 4 years. being 10+ games out IS a huge concern being 7-10 on April 19th with Cleveland and Kansas City at the top of the division is absolutely no reason for some of the crap that's going on around here.. There is a difference between voicing logical concerns like the bullpen so far, or how our hitting has gone south and then starting fire everyone threads and the total meltdown that is going on.. No one is saying that you aren't allowed to criticize the team, but people are going to get annoyed with the ones already jumping off the ledge.. and im not saying you are one of them, but come on its very very early to declare a 7-10 start a nightmare..

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 10:15 PM) The 9-2 to finish it out definitely meant nothing. You think so? You're telling me that they still would have went "all in" this season had the team finished in the 70's for wins last year? Yeah right..

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 10:18 PM) What happens if Wade Davis shuts us down tomorrow? Still too early? Yes? There is a HUGE difference between 7-10 and 15-30

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 10:05 PM) Adam Dunn has been so bad it's laughable. Why can't we ever pick up a guy and have him EXCEL from Day One? Remember Rios and how bad he was at first? My god, Dunn could have picked us up tonight. Instead, predictable whiff in the ninth against their closer, who unlike ours, can close. Are we going to break out of this slump or be out of it this year by mid May? p.s. The way this team is going, the next time we actually lead in a game, our closer will blow it again. This is why you can't blow 3 run leads in the ninth, Mr. Thornton and Pierre. The team goes in the s***TER immediately afterward. f*** we suck. Well aside that Tampa didn't use a closer tonight as James Shields finished the game, Dunn also just had an appendectomy recently and missed some time which DOES matter.. Its hard to have take peoples posts legit when they make statements that lead you to believe they didn't even watch/follow the game (I.E. Tampa using a closer tonight) Ide be absolutely shocked if Dunn didn't have 35-40 homers and 90-100 RBI's by the end of the year.. this place is going to hell over a 7-10 start, my god

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 09:59 PM) We are in the middle of a six-game losing streak and an early bullpen meltdown, plus more bad news about Peavy. Not exactly much to get excited for right now. I didn't say that they didn't play their asses off in the 25-5 run, just that it's not something to count on, and even with that, they missed the playoffs. Again. Yes, a bullpen meltdown that couldn't possibly get any worse than it is now.. what are we at, 6 blown saves? and they all pretty much came at once.. With as long as the season is you have to look at certain situations like that and realize that its not going to be the norm.. And I don't count on a 25-5 run, but I think this team is better than last years team.. And I don't think we need a run like that to be there at the end.. Were 7-10 people, do you think that KC and Cleveland are making playoff preparations right now?

Well, for one 7-10 is not a horrendous start Secondly, a 25-5 run is deserved and not an accident.. that's why it rarely happens.. they got hot at a good time I feel like we are 3-14 around here

I feel like we started out bad last year but ended up with like 88 wins Obviously, that couldn't have happened because if you are 3 games under .500 by mid April you're done.. right?

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 09:06 PM) You make some great points. Seriously, posts like these should be a permaban. The only thing that drives me up a wall is bunting with your number two hitter. LET HIM SWING AWAY AND TRY TO OPEN UP THE INNING. Giving up outs only gets you closer to ending the game. With the way the offense has disappeared I have no problem with the bunt.. They've been hitting like .200 for a while now, I wouldn't just assume that they are going to string together enough hits, especially in the clutch, to win the game..

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 01:15 AM) Here's a question for you, do you beat off to your avatar? Just so you know, there is nothing sabermetric about whatever sqwert brought up, so you can take off those ignorance glasses and relax. haha relax about what? I didn't bring up sabermetrics, J4L did.. I was just pointing out that this is another stupid stat like the nonsense that you try to shove down everyone's throats every other post..

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 04:46 PM) My feeling as well. Except I don't care if there were boobs or not. I felt in the beginning that it felt cheesy and a retread but as it went and the last act was revealed, I bought it and dug it. that's pretty much word for word what I told your ass it was like

It was pretty awesome The caller basically said the Sox haven't played anyone and the Twins have, the Twins dont need to worry about their slow start as we need to.. Then Ranger was like "KC and Cleveland are leading the division, weve beaten them" brought up the Twins losing to Tampa as we took 3/4 from them.. The caller continued to talk over him and not let him talk, made no points and was being ridiculous.. All he did was call him an idiot and the worst kind of fan.. and it was fitting But man, you should listen to it, it was awesome..

qwerty that has nothing to do with THESE stats.. this is pointless crap that guys like chw42 beat off to

Isn't there already enough stupid ass stats in baseball?

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 14, 2011 -> 11:24 AM) Sounds as if you liked the first 2 Scream movies, you will dig part 4. I want to see it tomorrow but can't until Monday. Its not as ridiculous as the 3rd movie, but it was a little cheesy.. I liked the ending though

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 14, 2011 -> 01:25 AM) Glad our government has nothing else better to do or spend taxpayer money on...good Lord. Hey gotta make sure you keep the streets clean of bad guys like Barry Bonds

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 08:36 AM) The 0-6 thing is a nice number, but no team had ever come back from 0-3 in a playoff series to win either, and we all know how that turned out for Boston. Thats true, however, they are the only team EVER to come back from 0-3.. the odds aren't good.. And then you have people coming out with the "you remember when Oakland had to win 20 games in a row??" "You remember when Houston had to make up 15 games??" Those are all long shots, especially with Boston playing in the AL, and AL East for that matter.. Toronto and Baltimore are at least solid enough now not to get beat up on by Boston.. There is still Us, Minnesota, Detroit.. Oakland, Texas, Angels.. I think they are gonna be kicking themselves come the end of the season due to this start and them missing the playoffs.. And to whoever asked, it was something like 46 teams have started 0-6 since like 1920 and like 5 of them finished with a winning record and none made the playoffs..

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 08:05 AM) I still think they make the playoffs. Im wondering why you think they still make the playoffs when no team has ever gone 0-6 and made the playoffs, much less even finished with a winning record There is a better chance they finish with a winning record, but I am gonna stick with the "they aint making the playoffs" I believe in the numbers..

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 03:08 PM) I was hoping that was overlooked... Oh it wasn't, but since the one you picked out for me apparently died.. well just call it even

QUOTE (The Critic @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 02:51 AM) Below is WWE's official announcement on Edge retiring from their website: Less than a week after his successful title defense against Alberto Del Rio at WrestleMania XXVII, World Heavyweight Champion Edge has been forced to retire from in-ring competition due to injury. The unexpected news brings to an end a storied WWE career spanning 13 years and consisting of 11 World Title reigns. The Rated-R Superstar had been suffering numbness and uncontrollable trembling in his arms and hands. This is not the first time Edge has experienced these symptoms of nueropraxia. An MRI in Atlanta last Monday was sent to Dr. Joseph Maroon, a renowned neurosurgeon and professor of neurosurgery at The Pittsburgh School of Medicine. After careful examination of the MRI, it was determined that Edge would never be cleared to compete again, and thus, he is forced to retire. In 2003, Edge underwent a two level spinal fusion of the discs between his C5, C6 and C7 vertebrae. After being cleared to compete, The Rated-R Superstar returned to the ring, resulting in stenosis of the spine, or a narrowing of the spinal column, above and below the fused discs. This narrowing resulted in less and less of the vital fluid needed to protect the spinal cord. Medical professionals cannot clear Edge to compete ever again in WWE since doing so could result in paralysis or even death. Word is that this is legit and not a storyline. Too bad, Edge was one of the more interesting performers more often than not. Oh this is definitely legit And very unfortunate

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 12:08 AM) Seriously, they are 100 times worse than Yankees fans. They've got cubs fans beat too. I hope they lose about 100 games this year. Well they have a zero percent chance to make the playoffs, so I wouldn't worry about that..

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 10, 2011 -> 12:25 PM) Ozzie says "rotating closers" in an article today. http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news...x_cid=nhffromfb I like that better If you need Thornton in the 8th, use him, and then you still have whatever out of Crain, Santos, and Sale to close the game out.. same thing the other way..

im about to cry thst i didnt get to puit my weiner between my girlfriends giast boobs tonight

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 9, 2011 -> 09:06 PM) I have to add, I do roll my eyes a bit when J4L seeks his increasingly demeaning crescendo of insults regarding a player's performance, all while he is sitting on his couch eating pork rinds or taco bell. Or 2 40's and a bag of Doritos
