Danks was that motherf***er today.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 11:35 PM) Pakistani's tip off bad guys. lol and they wonder why we don't like telling them s***

Hawk said "here comes Ryan Roberts" and I thought I heard "Brian Roberts" and I was thinking "when did he leave the Orioles?"

Well all right there Alex.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 10:12 PM) Oz sure loves leaving starters in too long I dunno, I trust Danks (I know this post is pretty empty after Danks pitched out of it)

That was almost a highlight reel catch by Lillibridge.

I know people hate hearing this and it's a cliche around here, but based on the combination of number of posts, tone of said posts, and the timing of said posts, I really have to wonder if some people are happier about being "right" when the Sox are terrible so they can post over and over about the reasons why than they are when the Sox are winning, maybe because there's not as much to hyperanalyze. I don't know, but oftentimes PHT is a pretty depressing place because of this. And I'm someone who's spent more time feeling pessimistic than optimistic since '07 and a pretty big critic of Ozzie and some moves by KW that I thought were boneheaded.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 09:33 PM) Do you notice how much you talk about yourself and your posting here? Even when you're in a good mood you talk about how negative you are. You point out when other people are crazy enough to even be more negative than you, and how much that surprises you. You post here often. You are the Skip Bayless of Soxtalk. Trust me, you don't need to discuss your own posting style and the reactions to it. And yet you constantly do.

Just a flyout, but Danks hit that ball pretty hard

I don't really give a s*** about how bad the Sox sucked in the 70s and 80s. That point carries no traction with me. I mean, I'm 29 years old, I'm not THAT young. Might as well bring up the fact that it took us 88 years to win a championship while you're at it, and pretend that it makes things better. Not that I think JR is a cheapass or anything, I mean at one time I used to, but since then he's pretty emphatically disproved that. But mediocrity is mediocrity, and saying "but they used to REALLY suck" does not make it not mediocrity.

That was kind of his point. The ATM was just an example.

Sooooo which of the Ten Commandments is he talking about exactly? Anyone?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 11:18 AM) Glad I restrained my desire to throw in quotes from J4L, Mark Harmon/Gibbs from NCIS (another managerial candidate), Harvard philosophy professor Michael Sandel and The Green Lantern on "courage and hope versus fear" (of the Twins). I lol'd

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 06:26 PM) I'm not sure if I'd care about this if it was 27 teams in MLB. Which of the Ten Commandments mentions homosexuality?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 05:18 PM) Please. The story wrote itself. A guy named Wiener was rumored to have showed his wiener to multiple women. He denies profusely. He then changes his mind, apologizes, says there's nothing else out there. Then days later there's even "worse" pictures of him in congressional gyms and whatnot. And then there's investigations that he might have sent some pics to an underage girl. Yeah, not a big deal though. He's upholding the outstanding virtues and ethics of a Congressional Democrat. Anxiously awaiting David Vitter's resignation

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 06:12 PM) Andy Gonzalez. I used to want to punch my screen every time Hawk talked about how talented a ballplayer Andy Gonzalez was. I just didn't see it... in fact if I named the 5 worst players I've ever seen he'd be on that list

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 09:21 PM) IT DONT NEED NO WATER LET THE MUTHf***A BURN! (No seriously, let the Metrodome burn to the ground) Love this

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 01:00 PM) At this point it is pretty grim. The NBA labor/owner situation makes the NFL one look cozy. The NBA actually has real problems, the NFL not really, just imagined problems. The NBA is bleeding money and actually showed their books, the NFL is just trying to grab a bigger piece of the multi-billion dollar pie

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 10:13 AM) Versus being in the lottery in two years and be stuck in limbo for decade while all of their fanbase walks away? Yes. That is better than the lost decade that the Bulls had when their superstars left, and we tried to "rebuild". Balta's kinda scattershot with it but he's right. GMs in the NBA are often put in a position of "do something now to push superstar over through championship window or be forced to lose superstar and become irrelevant"

Yeah, gotta say this round went to 2K5...

Really though how do we know what Milledge would've done had the Sox kept him?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 08:07 PM) Magic put it pretty clearly last night. He said he knew when he lost the series for the Lakers against Boston and not only owned up to it, but told the fans that he would do everything he could to improve himself to get them back there. And he did. I remember reading that in his book as well. All Lebron had to do was come out and say, I just put up a total s*** game in this series, and I promise I never will again. To play devil's advocate, LeBron's soon-to-be-infamous quote came in response to the question "what do you have to say to the people that rooted for you to fail?" Still, that doesn't matter and something along the lines of what you said (I understand why so much is expected of me, I vow to do better) would've been more acceptable. He could've even gotten away with a "f*** you" to his critics in there if he wanted, if he had accepted some kind of accountability. Although he gave credit to Dallas's defense, he didn't take any responsibility. I mean, I know that Dallas has a tough D but the Bulls had the best D in the NBA and when it came down to it, LeBron ate them up. In the Finals, LeBron's testicles went back up into his body.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 03:14 PM) http://deadspin.com/5811396/lebron-james-i...ll-a-cocksucker Hahaha that says it pretty well. Seriously, a lot of people (like me) would get off LeBron's case if he learned how to act like a normal person who understands what the critics are actually saying (pointing out the glaringly obvious)

Sean Penn is a tool

‎"Doesn't matter cause at the end of the day, those people are still going to wake up tomorrow with their problems. I'm going to wake up great tomorrow" - LeBron James. Soooo he tries to s*** on his critics and fails badly. This quote pretty much confirms everything his critics say about him.
