As stated before, the LAD's series was empty because: A) the idiots upstairs decided to make it a premium game B:) it was a mid week series right before the cubs series. Is it really hard to figure that out?

QUOTE (VAfan @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 07:02 PM) It was another horrible move by Ozzie against the Cubs. Marmol was shaky at best, and it would have been a nice way for Castro to contribute something to the team. As it is, he's probably wondering why the heck we traded for him, since he hasn't played at all. So far, I consider Ozzie to have lost both Cubs games with bad managing moves. We should be 4-0 against them. Haha, then lets thank god you aren't in charge of anything with the Sox org.

IT'S BECKAMMMMMM also, what the f*** kind of defense is that? THeir entire OF should have been on the warning track

f*** off AJ!!!! woo

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 11:58 PM) Prolific hitters who play 3B relatively well aren't exactly a dime a dozen. Sox fans have been spoiled by Ventura and Crede, and it's far from a lock that the Sox will land a player near the level of those two for the next decade. Worrying about "wasting" a player like Beckham at 3B doesn't make much sense to me, especially when Quentin and Alexei are the only other two above-average young hitters who will be making an impact after the nucleus of the current offense is dismantled this winter. The Sox need to procure better young hitters period... regardless of what position they play. When they actually draft/sign/trade for the next Robin Ventura, then they can worry about moving Beckham to 2B. You made my point....a power hitting 2nd baseman is FAR less common then a decent fielding/power 3B. 3B allows you to put an ehh fielder with a big bat without too many problems. You can't do that with the "up the middle defense". I don't see Bacon hitting 30+ homers, but a 2nd baseman who can field, hit for average, get on base and hit for more power than the average 2B is a jackpot. Bottom line: do you want an average guy playing 3B or a top 5 power 2B? Easy choice for me. And despite what most people seem to want, a roster full of guys who hit *edit....and qatnom said the exact same thing, you take the premium position every time. Probably should have read it first

Bacon's gonna tie it up

Today it's f*** AJ, yesterday it was THANK YOU AJ YOU ARE JESUS CHRIST!!!!11 Just stop. coming from the charter member of this.team.is.dead, quite the turnaround. I just don't get the point of even watching games or sports in general if ever f***ing dp/popup/K/etc is going to cause a brain aneurysm

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 05:16 PM) And then people wonder why everyone get's pissed. Jesus f***ing Christ. Nice to see this place hasn't changed.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 03:17 PM) But until you actually GET that power-hitting 3B, there's no point in moving Beckham to 2B. And I don't see another Ventura or Crede on the horizon. FWIW, I'd rather stick with Beckham/Getz at 3B/2B than go with Fields/Beckham. Would be the reason I said longterm instead of current. A power hitting 3b/capable D is much easier to come by and a solid defending, high power/avg 2b is gold.

I want Bacon to be at 2b for the long term. You can get power from your corners pretty easily, but a power+average combo at 2nd base is hard to come by (Utley types) and I think putting what would end up being an average power hitter at 3b is a waste.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 04:59 PM) Outlaw > Anyone from this draft. Blake = Would be a lottery pick in this draft. Plus this allows you to keep Ben Gordon who would be a consensus Top 2 pick in this draft with Blake Griffin. It's a no brainer really. except for the whole part where he will be making 3x as much as a number 2 pick and probably throw out any possibility of getting a superstar next summer. Good luck in detroit gordon

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 19, 2009 -> 03:31 PM) Jerry Owens, even with his crappy ass arm, had a UZR/150 of 12.8. That's really, really good. Dewayne Wise is better defensively in center than Brian Anderson, according to UZR. He's well above average in left and above average in center. All I need to read to know that it is a completely worthless stat.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Jun 19, 2009 -> 03:45 PM) Not at all. Just have seen too much up and down from Jose over the years that I think it makes sense to trade him for the right offer if it comes along. Do people really think other teams don't see the same damn thing? Nobody is going to give up much for him and we'd probably have to eat some of his remaining salary anyway. Pointless.

QUOTE (Stocking @ Jun 19, 2009 -> 04:35 AM) Maybe if it were unlocked, but its not. The first two generation iphones couldnt even send a MMS. The technology in the Iphone has been around for years in multiple phones, apple just did a fantastic job of marketing it for the everyday person. The technology may have been around, but if its in a s***ty package, who cares? I've used about 15 different "smart" phones and the iPhone destroys them in almost every aspect except exchange type support (which is passable anyway). Best browser, best media functions, best apps, best interface, etc....and that's all that matters really. I could give a crap if a s***ty WM/Palm/Nokia phone has a 5mp camera when the rest of the phone sucks to use. MMS support is due to ATT s***ty's infastructure and it will be available on all the 3g models by August.

QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ Jun 18, 2009 -> 09:04 PM) I think it will only work through wifi tho on AT&T, inorder to use it over the AT&T network you need to do some hack that can be found online... On a side note... Any Pre owners out there? What do you think of it? Due to ATT, still the best phone out there

QUOTE (Stocking @ Jun 18, 2009 -> 07:39 PM) This i know, which is why you need to get slingmobile to avoid blackouts. At&t isnt having it, you would need to go outside of an iphone in order to get it. iphone has sling

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 18, 2009 -> 04:00 PM) I'm talking about the app, not the firmware update. well, then I still have no idea what you are talking about, all updates were free.

well, time to avoid this site for the next 12 hours

f***

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jun 18, 2009 -> 02:52 PM) Great catch by Soriano. Alexei up to swing at a number of poor pitches I presume well you were sorta right, he did hit a poor pitch

damn, how the f*** can ALL of out pitchers bunt but NONE of our hitters?

woooooo BAAAAAAA. f*** wise

do this thing BA

fire Walker, Floyd can't hit for s***.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 18, 2009 -> 12:55 PM) Soriano has the 2nd lowest OBP of any Cubs regular. And he's leading off. I like that now he's finally ready to stop killing them in that position and is willing to be moved down.
