http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/stor...&id=5173365 I recently bought a Rawlings Renegade, and I've been trying to 'naturally' break it in for about 3 weeks to little avail. Then I tried a variation of Rowand's method and doused it in hot water, than put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. It's a lot softer now, and its sitting under my mattress with a baseball tied in it to shape it right now. Funnily enough, the tan parts of the glove went from tan to dark brown, and I like the look a lot more. How does everyone else break in their gloves?

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ May 11, 2010 -> 06:29 PM) Typical bulls*** move by MLB. Supposedly the AAA park that sits 18,000 in Buffalo was available those days. The smart thing to do would have been to move the series there, I'm sure they could probably sell it out. But of course, Selig has to go for the cash grab and have it in Philly. Same situation as Astros/Cubs in Milwaukee two years ago. I hate when Selig does this. Poor Jays fans that wanted to see Doc again.

Ke$ha is on here. How, is beyond me. Amanda Bynes being on there hurts my brain, as I remember the Amanda Show. Katy Perry should be towards the bottom.

No way LeBron stays if they lose this series. If they don't win this year, the Cavs almost certainly won't win in coming years, and that could cause LeBron to leave. (Hey LeBron, we know you like NY but Chicago is also a big media market, and we don't have a skeleton roster.)

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ May 11, 2010 -> 10:38 PM) I'm a 24 year old dude. As straight as a dude man can be. I just get some man crushes sometimes. The Biebs Feves is like a Mini-Man Crush I guess. Blame the "media" and the bah gawd "unmanly man agenda" in America today! Honestly, I've been waiting on another 08 Q year to buy a real jersey; and want a real jersey Beckham. I get enjoyment out of the players like Erstad and Lillibridge- gotta find guilty pleasures in every game. I've since aquired those jersey t-shirts, and feel that so far the only thing to excite me in 2010 has been the fever in the clubhouse surrounding Bieber. Contradiction. Also, if this is a man-crush, see Chris Hansen as earlier displayed in this thread.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 11, 2010 -> 01:03 PM) Love Biddle too, though he is rather unrefined. He was getting first round consideration earlier this year I believe. I really hope that organization takes more risks with picks and in turn opens up their wallet a bit more. Draft spending has been pitiful, and the system needs more talent and depth in too many areas. A mere million more spent could pay huge dividends. Yes, I'm tired of taking the safe affordable route. I want a high-risk high-reward farm system.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 11, 2010 -> 10:34 PM) His catch on Morneau in the eighth was worth whatever we pay him. The offense is a bonus. My heart stopped when Morneau hit that ball. I love Rios now.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 11, 2010 -> 12:07 AM) No. He is a step ahead of VDN... but still on the terrible list. Might be one of the reasons Wade might not want to come here supposedly. He wants to stay far away from that crazy chick as possible. On the plus side, his kids do go to school here. He and Taj are good friends. I think it was just more or less complementing a friend he works out with in the off-season. Ya JJ wrote his tomb when he ripped the fan-base. No way he re-signs there, and I told you that Atlanta was easily the best match-up the Magic could have gotten. I'm still convinced that if Atlanta played Boston, they probably sweep them or win in 5. Boston got a break playing Cleveland big time. If the Suns win a title, say.. Amar'e loves Gragic or thinks he has 2 good years with Nash left to win 2 more titles, I think he re-signs with the Suns and would be a shame cause he has moved up now ahead of Bosh on my personal list to pair with Rose. Then it makes sense, I was unaware they were friends. Start recruiting Taj. My list goes: LeBron Wade Bosh [Dirk] Amare Johnson For bench pieces, barring a sign-and-trade, I'd probably just like to resign Miller and add Ray Allen if you can get them for the leftover money.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ May 10, 2010 -> 11:18 PM) Hmm, the Magic's sweep of the Hawks was the most lopsided in NBA playoff history according STATS LLC. Guess we proved to the naysayers in pre-season who thought last season was a fluke otherwise. We've won 14 in a row now. JJ was booed off the court, goodbye Atlanta for him. I want a Magic - Suns final, and I'm pulling for the Suns since they're my second favorite team and I'd like to see Hill & Nash get rings.

If the Sox can avoid signability issues with Biddle, I'd love to add a lefty starter with front rotation potential in maybe the 4th round.

Anyone know if their gonna release the 30 for 30 on DVD/Blu-Ray?

According to Sam Smith, the other day LeBron was gushing over Taj. I understand Noah & Rose, but Taj? LeBron must really like the Bulls.

So, are Gilmore & Short legit prospects now?

QUOTE (Brian @ May 6, 2010 -> 04:14 PM) Whoever covered that song should be shot. And stupid Buckeye students should do something more constructive with there time. They did use the wrong version, but Flash Mobs are cool.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ May 6, 2010 -> 04:44 PM) "Fat, Lazy, and Stupid is no way to go through life, son." Russel is gonna become the President?

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ May 10, 2010 -> 02:25 PM) It is an understatement to say that I hate him I hate LeBron so much, but then the prospect of having LeBron & Rose takes over.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 10, 2010 -> 05:11 PM) Or they are hoping he's embarrassed and just retires so they don't have to pay him. Griffey has meant a lot to that franchise. He deserves a little better than this. Looks like Jr. stayed one year too long.

Anyone else think Coop should slap Bobby until he throws his hammer curve again?

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ May 8, 2010 -> 02:26 PM) I say we interrogate them, Casino Royale style. Towards the end if you know what I mean. My balls cringed thinking of that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 7, 2010 -> 11:50 AM) link I love how theres going to be 'retribution' and not revenge. Gordon's gonna do something crazy, like hit.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 9, 2010 -> 09:52 PM) Bingo. Actually an accurate order would be 1-3-4-8-8-8-8-9-9 Ideally I'd have 1 - Pierre (If he starts hitting) 2 - Rios 3 - Jones 4 - Konerko 5 - Quentin 6 - AJ 7 - Beckham 8 - Teahen 9 - Alexei

Games on my list: Heavy Rain (waiting for when it comes down in price) 3D Dot Heroes ($40 seems like a fun price for a retro game) Red Dead Redemption (See above video) ModNation Racers (Love kart racers, love LBP)

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 9, 2010 -> 01:47 AM) Ya, Gonzales doesn't make sense for us right now, financially and with Andruw doing decent in the DH role while being able to play all 3 OF positions. Pierre or Quentin would be sent to the bench. To me, it makes sense.

My vote is Santos, since he reminds me of 05 Bobby.

Bat him 7th or 8th. In 129 AB's in the 7th-8th hole, he has hit .326 and .394 respectively. In the 2 hole, he's only hitting .233 Let him figure it out lower in the order.
