Upset stomach for Youkilis

I don't like any of these nicknames but they're still a million times better than suicide watch SoxTalk when we're losing.

This is what happens when you score 1 run against a mop-up pitcher.

Rios ripped that. Wasn't a bad pitch by Perez, either. Like to see Alexei make good contact here.

If I can call "garbage in the dirt" before every two strike pitch to Beckham, and be right, why can't he recognize this and not swing at it every time?

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Apr 2, 2012 -> 04:27 PM) Mine does it on my Mac but not my girlfriend's PC. Not sure if that has anything to do with it, but that's the most obvious correlation for us.It's been working fine until today. I stream at work on a Macbook Pro.

Is it just me, or is the stream for this game awful? Terrible stuttering on the video.

For the 1 other Wii owner on this thread, Nintendo finally announced they are bringing The Last Story and Xenoblade Chronicles to the US. This makes me happy. Xenoblade is amazing, and Lost Odyssey is one of my favorite games ever, which makes me really look forward to The Last Story. Looks like the fiancee is going to be kicked off Fortune Street for a while...

He was bad in Cleveland, but if he can get on base with us like he did with the Cubs, this is a good move for some bench depth. If he's playing every day, it means one of De Aza/Viciedo/Rios has been awful, which means we're probably terrible anyways.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 28, 2012 -> 04:01 PM) LinkWhat do they bat on a 2-0, 2-1, 3-0, or 3-1 count? I get that they don't want to take away the aggressiveness from a hitter, but you don't take pitches and get into bad counts all the time, or even most of the time I'd bet.

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Jan 25, 2012 -> 10:33 AM) Did anybody catch the Adam Dunn piece in the Sun-Times today? Now, I am the last person to ever defend... Adam Dunn... but he made some thinly-veiled references to Ozzie that were hardly complimentary. I'm glad this piece came out. I loved Ozzie too, for the reasons given in the article. But face it: for at least the past two years he's acted like a freakin idiot. Here's the article.

Even if he's right this time, this guy is still a douche and has absolutely no credibility. I'll believe it when a real source comes forward.

Bailey has been a lot better than Santos -- even last year, when Bailey's stats took a nosedive, he was better. Also the Red Sox got Sweeney, who could be a nice 4th outfielder for them. I think value-wise, this and the Santos trade are about even.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Dec 21, 2011 -> 11:14 AM) According to Spanish magazine Marca, there are rumors about a Boozer/Korver for Gasol trade...use google translation since the article is in Spanish.I doubt it happens but if it does, that would be enough to put us over Miami IMO. http://www.marca.com/2011/12/21/baloncesto...1324465328.html No idea why LA would do that, but yes please.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 8, 2011 -> 07:42 PM) Deal done, with Cubs also getting first round bust C. Weather and Rockies getting DJ LeMahieuGarbage for garbage. I don't know what the Cubs see in Stewart. He's been absolutely horrible. At least Colvin had one decent year.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Oct 2, 2011 -> 02:36 AM) Can someone explain this Dave Martinez love to me please? Who is he? Why do so many people want him? I clicked a link from MLBTR, and it looks like he is a 31-year-old guy who couldn't cut it as a player. Did they link the wrong person? I'm drunk and confused.He played from 86-01. Played from 95-97 with the Sox, where he had the best years of his career. Excellent outfielder, hit for average, got on base a ton. Little power.

I like both the Brewers and Arizona, so either way that series goes is fine for me. In the AL, I'm rooting for the Rays.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is awesome.

That ball was crushed. Maybe Rios should have caught it (I think it would have been a heck of a catch if he did), but Buerhle is getting hammered.

Beachy is pitching for Atlanta today on wgn.

I actually kind of like Flowers. That wasn't a great at-bat, but he's got some patience, can hit the ball hard to all fields, and looks alright behind the plate (good arm, needs some blocking work). He's a good bench catcher, and if he can ever cut down on the strikeouts a little bit, he has a chance to be a starter.
