reading "The Breaks of The Game" based purely on Bill Simmons's recommendation.

Six more games here and I never have to hear about the "dreaded dome" where we assume we will lose before the first pitch is even thrown. So sick of that s***.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 03:29 AM) His dude has had 4 years to get his s*** together and he hasn't done a thing at the plate to deserve a starting job. It's time we let him go and flop somewhere else...he's a defensive specialist and nothing else. Good-bye BA=1st round bust. have you been crafting that response for 4 days since this thread died?

I can't wait till the Jays screw themselves and end up with the same type of "haul" the idiots from the Twins got.

Paulie....Cycle?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 06:15 PM) I'm not going to overreact like some people are doing but Jenks's performance has been pretty disgusting the last few weeks, it's about impossible to dispute that. well thats no fun. You're supposed to want Jenks cut right now, its the soxtalk way!

ma ma ma ma ma mellllltdown mode coming up hahahah

The tigers have our number this year. We have most of the twins number, all of the indians, all of the royals, all of the rays, all of the dodgers, all of the angels. Thats all it is, the tigers match up with us better this year and we lose to them.

nice to see this place back to normal

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 02:01 PM) Hello 2GB Does this game count as 2?

whats on the itunes version? Just straight 9 innings or post game stuff too? Don't know if I should bother editing the 29 gigs of video I pulled from my Tivo last night.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 11:28 PM) I am sure that all the people who just can't seem to fathom WHY someone would boo Jenks were NOT swearing at their TV when Bobbie walked in the go ahead run or anything. No cussing, no muttering, no disgust at the performance at all. there's a difference between saying "ah f***" and "bobby you suck"

He had a really funny line though: Farmer - "Yeah you hit X grandslams in your career....Manny just hit his 21st" Moose - "Yeah but he's on different stuff than we were on back then" Farmer- "What were you guys on?" Moose - "Hot dogs and a couple beers"

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 04:37 PM) I believe the World Series save was the very next game after his starting win in the World Series. That makes it sound even more impressive. He also started all but one of the opening games since 2002, I think. The man has really had a storybook career to this point. He didn't get the W in the world series game. He started game 2, the Pods walkoff/ PK granny game.

first AL-Central team to Fiddy wins as well. Suck it detroit.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 04:03 PM) #1 for me is Hester's opening kickoff for a TD. At one point in the game the Bears led that game by a TD. Then the game stopped and nothing else happened. At least that's what I remember. I concur. Outside of the final out in the WS, that was the most exciting play I've ever watched.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 04:05 PM) Keep this list growing: *No Hitter *Perfect Game *Hit a Homerun *World Series Champion *ND a game in the World Series *Saved a game in the same World Series *Started an All-Star Game *3 Time All-star and growing. . . . . what else is there Sox fans: Still good enough

QUOTE (Linnwood @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 03:52 PM) Only thing separating Buehrle from being the only pitcher in MLB history with two perfect games is a walk of Sammy Sosa. How many pitchers have faced the minimum 2x with at least no hitters?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 03:37 PM) I seem to remember Itunes uploading the No Hitter in 2007. I will be spending this evening editing the commercials out of my tivo'd copy and converting it if anyone wants to host it

MB owes Wise a watch

wow

so does Farmer just not believe in jinxes?

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 02:14 PM) The thing is i think you throw batting out because these guys arent going to play much. It's defense vs. PR for the most part. Which is the debate. Anderson is superior in defense and good enough on the base paths. Wise isn't Ricky Henderson, he's not a guaranteed steal or score from 2nd any more than Anderson is. And a PR is more important than good Defense? Ask Upton how that bad defensive play worked out last night.
