QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 10:14 AM) And I almost forgot 3-0 vs the Rays. You also forgot 1-2 vs. the Astros, at home!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 10:04 AM) It feels strange to say, but I would rather be playing the Yankees than the Royals. I would be surprised if they lose this series to the Yankees.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 08:21 AM) Damn it. I forgot they were f***ing up this season. So how do people think it is going to end? -Skyler turns in Walt? -Hank/DEA figures it out? -Mike or Jesse kills Walt? -Walt finally gets caught doing something stupid? -Cartel kills Walt? -Cancer comes back and Walt dies? I think Skyler is gonna play a big part in it. Either she purposely f***s up one of his business plans, or accidentally says something to Hank/Marie, etc. One gripe about last night's episode: Mike is always so careful about everything. It's hard to believe he would leave Walt like that with just a plastic type hand cuff, you knew what was coming.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 06:39 AM) I wouldn't worry too much about matchups, because on any given trip through the rotation, any one of the starters might be the best and any one might be the worst. That's a good point. The only matchup I would worry about is Verlander, because he is always on the top of his game.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 10:47 PM) Angels in the Outfield... Best baseball movie of all time? OR Best movie of all time? Sandlot Major League Rookie of the Year League of their Own Eight Men Out It's not even top 5.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 10:07 PM) Oh man, I thought for sure Todd was going to play a big role in the end of that episode. Only 2 episodes left, WTF! You know there is gonna be a major cliffhanger after episode 8. Interesting to hear Walt mention his buyout from his old company as motivation.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 04:13 PM) Looks the Rays are going into Anaheim and sweeping them 4 straight. As mad as I am right now about the Sox, I wouldn't want to be in the Angels shoes. I concur. You spend all that money in the offseason and make the biggest midseason trade. You call up a rookie in May and he is having a historic MVP season. Yet you are on the outside looking in for the playoffs right now, behind several teams.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 06:40 PM) And you know the Rays will sweep KC at home to go 16 games over .500. We would be 1/2 game behind the O's, tied with the A's. Of course Tampa will, I mean they are 0-3 on the season against KC already.

Cy Fister can't make it out of the 3rd. Hopefully Baltimore takes it Detroit's weak middle relief & the lead moves up to 2.5 games.

NFL "experts" that use performance in the 2nd half of a preseason game as proof of a player's talent should be fired on the spot.

His body slowly falling apart was one of the concerns when the Sox traded for him, so this isn't really a surprise. (No matter what, the trade was still worth it obviously)

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 10:46 AM) It was pretty amazing to see the national writers pretty united in saying exactly that. Makes you wonder if there is more to the story. What's the point of suddenly firing him in the middle of a weekend series, it's not like the team is underachieving, they have no talent.

Cy Fister is human!!!! Tigers lead is down to 5-4 in the 2nd.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 12:22 PM) 4-0 Tigers after 5 batters. WTF? Chen has actually been pretty good this year. Oh well, I guess the lead will stay at 1.5 after the weekend.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 10:13 AM) They picked today to give Youk a day off? Need to win here, for the team's mental health if nothing else. They are about to go home to play NYY. Need to get a win before they get on the plane. With Youk's various aches & pains, I think it's gonna be like that for the rest of the season. He is gonna need his days off to heal up, it was common knowledge when the Sox traded for him.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 09:30 AM) Why is it we seem to always suck against KC? Just wondering. Just the randomness of baseball? Some teams just seem to have your number or match up better? Just like some batters crush certain pitchers and can't hit others. I don't think it has anything to do with effort, I don't think the Sox are lacking for motivation this weekend.

DUNN!!!!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 09:02 AM) Astros fired Brad Mills. i'm sure it's all his fault that the team sucks after everyone with any talent was traded away.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 18, 2012 -> 05:24 PM) This is one of your picks I can believe. Seconded. Fight On.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 18, 2012 -> 09:00 PM) Anyone else worried this is the beginning (last night) of the 7-game losing streak that will eventually knock us out? Garcia/Nova/Hughes at home gives me plenty of confidence that the Sox will win the series vs. NYY. They play fine against anyone not in KC jerseys

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 18, 2012 -> 02:44 PM) Castro gets $60 million: http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/...xtension-source First thought: that's a terrible contract. I've heard he is very Patrick Kane-ish when it comes to partying & the nightlife, but at age 22 with his talent, I still don't see it being a terrible contract at all. Although I was surprised that his career OPS+ was only 103, I figured it was higher.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 05:03 PM) The guys on MLB Network said he didn't have his passport, but he's Canadian, I dont get it. Dude, I'm Ryan Dempster. Look at my baseball card, look at my ESPN profile. Just let me in the country, I can do a Harry Carry impression, I'm Canadian. The Braves were the big winners in that fiasco, they got a pitcher that is probably just as good, with a solid 4th OF, while giving up a lesser prospect.
