Yes! Franklyn German! I've been a fan of German since his days in Detroit. I hope he finds a way on the Sox major league roster somehow.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 03:27 PM) "Camelback Ranch" sounds like a sequel to "Brokeback Mountain." I agree, Camelback Ranch is such a horrible name. Anything else would've been better than that, what were they thinking?

Sox are losing 1-0? Unacceptable!!! THIS.TEAM.IS.DEAD.

Corky Miller looks like a good back-up catcher candidate.

Dayan doesn't look that big to me. He kinda reminds me of Uribe a little.

Score: Sox 0-0 Dodgers. Bottom of 2nd. Buehrle pitching. Loney batting. strike, ball, strike, struck out looking. 1 out. Loretta batting strike, ball, ball, strike, foul, foul, ball, foul, ball=walk.

I can't believe both Norm Van Lier and Johnny Kerr are dead, what are the odds of them dying at the same time? Score: Sox 0-0 Dodgers Top of 2nd inning. Kuroda pitching.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 01:08 PM) This is not a law, it's a resolution. Big difference. Dont worry, you can continue your racism against the Muslim world without punishment. Dude, what are you talking about??? Racism against Muslims? You are clearly ignorant. Muslim is not a race, it's a religion. There's muslims of all races: Arab, black, white, asian. Arab is a race, and I'm not racist against arabs. Arabs partake in many religions other than Islam. Just because someone's arab doesn't mean they're muslim. Get that through your head. I'm not racist against Arabs, I'm not racist against anyone for their skin color whatsoever. It's religion I have a problem with, it's the Muslim religion I have a problem with, and it's just coincidental that most Muslims happen to be Arab. I dont care what race Muslims are, it's Islam that I'm vehemently opposed to. I'm also vehemently opposed to all forms of religions, I despise Catholicism, Christianity, Judism, Protestantism, Baptists, etc etc. I feel that the way how nuns wear the habits is just as oppressive as how Muslim women wear the hijab. Also, the way how nuns and priests in the Christian faith waste their lives in the name of a religion is just so pathetic. But back to my main point: I'm not racist against Arabs, they come in all shapes and forms, they're just as diverse as anybody else, and no one should lump them all together. I am against how oppressive the Islamic religion is, and here's my reasons: *Islam oppresses women, it's too male-dominated. *Muslim women are oppressed when they wear the hijab, whether they realize they're oppressed or not. *arranged marriages in Islam also makes it so that Muslim women has no say in who they marry. *honor killings, it's found to be acceptable in heavily fundamentalist islamic areas. *Muslim women killed in Muslim countries by stoning or public executions for having children out of wedlock. *I'm just as opposed to how muslims have to pray numerous times of the day and practice Ramadan as I am opposed to how Christians observe Lent and Ash Wednesday. So don't go calling me racist, because I'm not and it just makes you look ignorant. It's one thing to be liberal, and I consider myself to be liberal as well, but I consider myself to be even more liberal because I'm against the conservative concept of all forms of religion, especially oppressive ones like those under Islam.

QUOTE (almagest @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 12:14 PM) Sounds like you're getting the SAP audio feed for some reason. Check and see if your TV remote has an SAP button, or if there's one on the front of your TV (unlikely). Hitting this button should bring you back to English. Hmmmm, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. I'm unable to access the menu because I no longer have the original remote control. Also, all the bottons on the tv except for the volume up button are pushed into the tv. The replacement remote control for the tv can only change the channel, the volume, and power it on/off, it's actually a remote for an old vcr I no longer have. I turned on CSN just now, and the program on there right now is in english. The weird thing is that sometimes Sox games are in English and other times it's in Spanish. Thank god for closed captioning!

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 11:38 AM) John Shelby really is the odd-man out in all of this, isn't he? Poor guy, he has great tools and hopefully, he can make something of himself to get the utilty job two years down the line. It's very possible that John Shelby will find a place on the team. If I'm not forgetting anyone, here's how the team might look 2 years down the line: c: flowers or AJ 1b: Viciedo 2b: Beckham SS: Alexei 3B: Fields rf: Quentin cf: jordan Danks lf: Shelby DH: Konerko or Dye That's the type of team I hope to see 2 years from now, and most importantly I hope Brian Anderson is nowhere near this team in 2 years from now.

Yes! I can't wait! I also hope to see Viciedo and Beckham, they're the main reason I'm watching. Also, I hope it'll be in english, cause for some odd reason Sox games on CSN comes out in spanish on my 16 year old tv.

What scares me about this is if muslim countries will use this measure as an excuse to persecute non-muslims, such as how Iran is trying to persecute people for apostacy with capital punishment. That scares the hell out of me because I've committed apostacy myself when I renounced my Catholic faith when I realized I was an agnostic leaning closer and closer to atheism. Honestly, all forms of religion is for the weak-minded, especially those under the umbrella of Islam. So now what's gonna happen with these anti-blasphemy laws? Are American women gonna get imprisoned for refusing to wear the hijab in Saudi Arabia? Are barbaric honor killings going to become more prevalent and accepted? Will non-muslims be jailed in muslim countries for not being muslim? Will agnostics/atheists traveling in Muslim countries be imprisoned for making anti-religion comments? I really worry about human rights violations more than ever now, and people have a right to be able to trash religion, even doing such things as drawing Prophet Muhammad caricatures.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 11:58 PM) I hope he pitches with a watch on all year. What does that mean?

hey everyone, what are the odds of the Sox signing Contreras to another contract next year?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 08:00 PM) This has to be the best shape Jose has been in since Joining the Sox, he looks great and the goatee is awesome. Jose getting in shape that way sure shows dedication. I actually hope we re-sign Contreras to a 1-year or 2-year contract in 2010, I can imagine he would be willing to take a pay cut in order to stay with the Sox. I also think he still has a few more seasons left in the tank, and it wouldn't hurt to have him as a 4th or 5th starter. It'd be real nice if he becomes our Wakefield/Moyer.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 04:48 PM) I just haven't been impressed with Wasserman. He does good for a few games and then seems (prior to this ST) to get shellacked after that. Consistency is more bad than good. Russell must still be long tossing it and not pitching Is it just me or does Wasserman (and the an extent Russell) seem to be the career minor leaguer-type that is called up to the major league squad in favor of keeping promising prospective pitchers in the minors for more development? He just screams cannon fodder to me.

ugh, that silver paint job proposal makes the building look like crap. It looks much better the way the building is now with the black, it makes the building pop out more. I'm getting tired of how "energy-conscious" our country is becoming.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 01:54 AM) When are we going to sign that Arguelles kid? I want to see him in the black and white already. I agree. I hope the Sox try to pursue Arguelles or Yadel Marti.

What exactly is Twitter, anyway? Is it sort of like a site where you post updates on what you're up to like the "What's your status" function on facebook? Or what?

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 04:40 PM) Haha. That's all he might be anymore. Spring is officially here. Sox scrubs, NRI and lower level minor leaguers get rocked. That's when you know spring is back. lol, hey didn't we have a losing Cactus League record in 2005? Maybe everything is not all doom and gloom afterall.

Why was Brad Salmon pitching in this game? I thought he was just a BP pitcher or something?
