QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 10:15 PM) Right, because I am sure he would tell the writer that the reason he was really DL'd is because he is sucking ass and we need a roster spot. But we'll never know, because we're not Phil Humber. It could be that as well. Your taking your training in stride. Glad to see your finally learning.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 10:12 PM) Hah...ok, so I guess from here on out, I get to ridicule every opinion you have of anything you are not involved in because you are not them. Pathetic. Sure if I make a definitive statement without the full knowledge of the situation go right ahead. I encourage you to do that.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 08:09 PM) I have been and what I meant about the rebuild is start letting some of these kids getting time, major league exp under there belt let them gel togheter Im just wondering but which players did you have in mind?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 10:06 PM) Then why did it take so long? And what else would you want him to say? He said in the article he thinks unless your arm is broken you go out there and pitch. His answer seemed completely reasonable. Either way there was clearly something wrong and he needs some time to work it out.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 10:08 PM) Well what would your suggestion be, Baron? That he didn't want to get the out? That he wants to lose games? That he is getting paid on the side to make ridiculously stupid plays? The only possible answer is that it did not occur to him that he could do that, because he was damn sure looking at him when he ran 3-feet around the bag. I have absolutely no idea. You know why? Im not Paul Konerko. There isnt only one possible answer because you dont have the full story.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 10:03 PM) I eat sports writers for breakfast. There is a clear distinction in saying someone is not aware of something and saying they don't know something. If he was aware of the rule at that moment, I ask you again, why did he not just step on or tag the base? I made a play very similar to that one in the second grade where I knew I could just touch the base with my glove instead of trying to step on the bag or tag the runner. It would have been nice had PK done the same thing. Yes apparently you "light them up" just like you did yesterday with your compelling argument. I have no idea why he didnt step on the bag is the point. Neither do you. Its just an assumption to say he is unaware of the rules. Which is what I have been saying from the start.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 10:01 PM) This is simply a phantom injury. I'm sure Humber is fine. Humber said he basically had no control of his pitches because of this injury. Certainly doesnt sound like a phantom injury to me.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:51 PM) It is definitely worth considering. I really don't think Kenny is eager to trade away the few trade pieces we have to get a starting pitcher, either. Im starting to get the feeling that Simon Castro is his guy. He got promoted today and seems to be on the fast track to the Major Leagues. I believe you have mentioned this earlier as well.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:57 PM) Yes, and he clearly wasn't. If he was, why did he not tag the base? Is saying he could be aware of the rules the same as saying he does not know the rules? Clearly not the same. You have a terrible understanding of the english language. Yeah I was told I have a terrible understanding of the English language when I was hired as a Sports Writer. The best part of that paragraph is you start to say he isnt but then say that doesnt mean the samething. Sort of trying to hit both points to cover your bases. Clever but futile.

"Or our 1b could be aware of the rules" woops

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:53 PM) By all means...you certainly have nothing more important to do. And when you do find it, do me the courtesy of actually providing the context in which I posted it for once. Its 10 at night and I finished with my articles. My work day is done. Oh I will

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:47 PM) I never actually said he doesn't know the rules of baseball. I questioned why he didn't just step on the bag. He clearly had a brain fart. All I was pointing out was that his mental gaffe was more disturbing to me than Orlando's. DA and yourself are the posters who interpreted that as me stating PK doesn't know the rules. And in that instance, please tell me why he didn't just step on the bag? Im pretty sure you did actually...now I gotta go dig that up.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:46 PM) If the "only" cost is the contract and a non-factor player, would it not be worth a crack over Hudson (assuming we only make the deal if we have the money to burn) He shouldnt cost much at all...even if the Red Sox do eat part of that contract.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:44 PM) 7th shutout. Can't win if you don't score runs. The Sox were never close to scoring tonight. Greinke shut them down today. One of those were you just shrug and move on. I thought if they were going to score off him it was early. He was wild early in the game.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:43 PM) It was the blatant truth. The base was sitting right there for him to step on, and he ran right past it to try and tag a runner coming back to the other side of it. What the hell would you call it? A complete assumption is what I would call that.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:38 PM) There you go with your agenda again. Why don't you drop your hard on for me and move on with your life. It's pathetic. I have no agenda. I always remember the stupid crap people say. You just happen to say it more often than most. That was one of the more memorable ones.

Good news only a game out of 1st. Just shows how horrific this division is.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:35 PM) He's been doing this all too much lately...I don't know where his f***ing head is...he's trying to volley everything like he's Ivan Lendl or some s***. I'll take the 40 points less of batting average if he'll go back to hitting home runs. That and apparently he doesnt know Major League baseball rules right?

Lets crank up the fire sale and start the rebuild right?

There it is

Horrible at bat by Dunn

There it is
