caulfield12 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Yeah, I know SINCE, lol. 3 month long vacations will do that to a person. Six weeks, fine. But this is too long. That's why I went to the library and checked out about 30 books today...can't wait for my teaching job to start at the end of the month (in Shanghai) and to forget about this year's White Sox until the offseason at least.

Are you married? If not, are there available women for you in Shanghai? Do you do well over there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) G/f in the Philippines. "Mistress" in Bandung, Indonesia, lol. Joking. Well...Americans are more popular in Taiwan, Thailand and the Phillipines, but I do alright Greg, thanks for asking. Just got divorced finally this year after being separated for 6 years. So finally can breathe again and enjoy being single and unattached. The girl I really want to marry lives in Nanjing, China.

macsandz Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Other than : Mis-reading balls off the bat Taking incorrect routes Acquiescing to infielders on CF plays Pulling up short on the warning track (fear of the wall) Mis-timing jumps at the wall Overthrowing the cutoff man Throwing to the wrong base allowing runner to advance, ......he's doing great out there.

greg775 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 He's everything that is wrong with long-term contracts. Guys like Rios get one and this happens. Very very sad. You'd think he'd have pride but I guess laziness is simply instilled in some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are making sure Viciedo doesn't make those mistakes and that's why he's not up here yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxrd5 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 He should've been pulled after the first inning today, it was clear he had no interest in playing today. But Ozzie didn't, so we were all lucky enough to see him in the third inning turning a single into a triple on an ole' attempt at fielding. What an embarrassment he is. I have grilled Juan Pierre in the past, but at least the dude tries out there. Rios should be ashamed of himself, and Ozzie should be as well, for playing him.

farmteam Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Rob Mackowiak says hi. Granted, I'll allow that Mackowiak was never supposed to be a CF and was forced into it, whereas Rios should really be an above average CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
