If Tyler Hansbrough were black, he'd be a top-5 pick.
More like if Tyler Hansbrough had real talent, he'd be a top-5 pick.

Baseball Digest thinks we explore picking up Vincente Padilla. I disagree. That's a lot of money for a guy whose main talent is hitting AJ Pierzsynski. http://baseballdigest.com/featured/2009/th...une-test-drive/
Are you kidding me? Everybody in the organization hates that guy and he hates us.
If the Sox played in the NL, McLouth would have been what this team needed. A good left handed bat that plays a good center field with good speed and can leadoff. Too bad he would suck in the AL, as shown by him getting shutdown by our pitching.

That is a dream come true. The chance to play with Gordon Beckham. Lucky guy.
Even Ozzie called Bacon dreamy. But of course, we all love bacon.

From what I've read, Beckham was never projected to be on Longoria's level. That's not to say that he can't get there, but I don't want people to start calling him a bust here if he does go 4/31 with 12 K's.
He doesn't have the same kind of power. I think he has the talent to become a Derek Jeter-esque player offensively. .300 AVG and a slugging near .500.

If the Sox had any nuts we'd currently have Porcello AND Beckham.
And maybe even Joba...
Instead we got McCullough....

7 2/3s innings, 3 hits, 4 bbs, and 1k for his major league debut. LOLZ
Watch him get lit up in his next start. Seriously, where's our advanced scouting?

Tomorrow night is a bonus for you. A lefty that never faced us before.
Then on thursday another guy who we never faced.
I'll be happy with a split.

kyyle was right in the beginning thrad. Mazzarro has no record and we haven't faced him before so it will be a long night
It's only impossible to hit a guy with a 0.00 ERA...
QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 07:51 PM)
Beckham's 1-3 double and 2 rocket outs. Can we call him up for tomorrow?? Of course not, Ozzie said he doesn't know why fans are so excited about him.
Because we all love Bacon! Yes, he called Beckham Bacon.

How sad is it to be hanging out on the internet on your birthday?
I'm too old to have birthday parties anyhow.
