Stewart. It's karma for the Hudson/Jackson saga.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 09:45 PM) 1.) Florida is beginning the Oz era. Don't they have a new stadium as well? He NEEDS a 4-year deal for the feel good story to be complete. The "we got our man" in Ozzie. We got him! Three year deal won't fool anybody; four year deal and the city is ready to have a parade for its man, Ozzie. It'll be 4 year I predict. 2.) Yes they will! You got it right. LOL, and who is gonna show up? You do realize that no one cares about MLB baseball in Florida.

Wow. Time for me to turn the TV on.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 08:50 PM) Have yourself a game Brent Morel. (couldn't be any worse than yesterdays) And yes, I'm actually watching this one now thanks to Zach Stewart. I haven't been watching, but I will have to if this half inning goes well.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 08:56 PM) Beckham looks as bad as ever right now. Completely defeated mentally at the plate. It's awful. He just looks so confused.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 08:07 PM) This is probably the most uninspiring Twins lineup I've ever seen. It's not even remotely interesting either. Danny Valencia hitting cleanup doesn't inspire you???

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 07:19 PM) Will Weeks be back for the postseason? And I like the Brewers a lot. But I just can't see anybody beating Halladay, Lee and Hamels. I know it can happen. Just very unlikely, IMO. That's what people said about Halladay/Oswalt/Hamels last year too, lol. Gallardo/Greinke/Marcum is not as good, but they can all shut a team down. Braun/Fielder is probably the best 3-4 in the game. The rest of the lineup is lacking a bit, they need Weeks back, although Hart has been on fire. Of course I can't argue that the Phillies are the favorites. QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 07:26 PM) Brett Lawrie is going to be an absolute stud. As for Montero, he showed insane opposite field power today. Lawrie has been ridiculous, very impressed. If I were a Brewers fan, I may say "what if" in the future, but Marcum has been great for them and has not only helped them win the division, but they also have a chance to make some noise, this year and next. QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 07:35 PM) They've already crowned him Jesus 2.0 in Toronto. Well he is from Canada

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 08:17 AM) Yup, and Entourage is killing me. Don't worry, only one more left. Although I thought this past one wasn't bad, a great improvement over the rest of the season.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 12:39 PM) Then next year I will devote my baseball energies to the Blue Jays and Nationals. Just can't get enough of D-Wise now, can you??

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 02:21 PM) Doug Fister with another gem He's pitching better than he ever did in Seattle

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 02:11 AM) He could have also just, y'know, shut the f*** up. Sorry if the manager answered a question asked of him by the media. That's not part of his job or anything.

I was up in the NorthWoods for a few days, now back at home actually trying to be productive. Then hitting up Taste of Polonia for some damn good eats and beer.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 01:39 AM) Then people would have said he fired up Detroit. Face it, many on the board won't be happy til we get a cliche spouter. You know: We take it one game at a time, we will try our hardest to beat a darn good Detroit team. Amazing to me but whatever. Well said. I personally think Ozzie needs to go, but this quote is the last reason why. He has to answer the media everyday, while spouting a different message to his team in the locker room. Especially in today's age of technology, players avoid the media as much as possible, so I wonder how many even heard that quote. If they did, are people really gonna say that's the reason the bullpen collapsed Saturday? I'm getting sick of Ozzie too, but now people are finding reasons to complain just to complain. Come on now.

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Sep 4, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) Brandon Meriweather I like the potential, but I have a hard time believing in Belicheck's garbage. They very rarely amount to much.

That $4 million signing of Kerry Collins meant something.... I just don't see why these operations didn't happen earlier..

@JeffPassanJeff Passan Currently there are four negative-fWAR position players in the AL. Two are HOFers (Ichiro and Vlad) and the other two owed $82M (Dunn/Rios).

Listened to Watch the Throne a few times this weekend. It can be entertaining, but overall didn't think it was anything special. I rock out to n****s in Paris & Otis, but how many times can you rap about how many bottles of champagne you bought?

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 4, 2011 -> 11:23 PM) except that he went into the series expecting to lose. i think that's something he could have done differently. If Ozzie told the media, "We will sweep and win the division", what would have changed? Absolutely f***ing nothing. There are way better reasons to complain about Ozzie.

I am still amazed as to how upset people get about that quote. It was in the media about a team on its last breath by a manger who likes to joke. It had zero f***ing effect on the team. Players avoid the media. Ozzie did not say the same thing to them in the clubhouse. Ozzie deserves to get fired for many reasons, but not this comment. Get over it people!

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 4, 2011 -> 10:43 PM) Heard that Cowley's going off on Sox fans on twitter. Anything interesting? He is actually giving his thoughts as to how to fix the 2012 Sox, and they actually make some sense.
