southsider2k5 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 23, 2012 -> 11:22 AM) Shouldn't he have said 33 starts? Why bank on missing any time? I doubt he just offered that up. I am sure he was asked a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Feb 23, 2012 -> 10:29 AM) The Sox will have 84 wins this season. That sounds about right. Better than most would expect for this year when there are no expectations, but it'll simultaneously inflate the expectations for 2013. At which point, they'll disappoint.

I was hoping he would put a little more muscle on. He looks exactly like a guy I know in that picture. The guy happens to be the tallest, lankiest person I know. I'm glad Balta followed his pictures with the names of the players, as I had no idea that was Flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunofgold Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Still all good. Nobody hurt. Guys getting their physicals. Herm in better shape to help keep the players in better shape. Ventura and players getting along. Players pretty much saying the same things that they say every spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales KW on RV: "he is who I thought he was." KW on Dunn: he's got to be more confident than I got to be." KW on Sox's WS drought: "It's not as long as 100 plus years." Quickly states it's a reflection of Sox's previous drought, not Cubs' void. KW: "we tried to create a roster where everyone pushes everyone." KW on Tigers: "they replaced a great player with a great player." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Herm looks fantastic. It is really good to see he finally took his health seriously and made that change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Who knows what Herm did, but if anyone has ever seen the Documentary "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" you would know a hardcore juice fast for a month or so could drop some serious weight and quickly. Especially on a guy pushing +400 lbs like Hermie probably was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially on a guy pushing +400 lbs like Hermie probably was... No way Herm was pushing 400 pounds. I don't think he's very tall. I would be shocked if he was over 300 before this, let alone near 400. A 400 pounds guy of average height can barely walk around normally, let alone trot from the dugout like Herm did (in an admittedly jiggly fashion).

Yeah, Herm always looked short out there to me, at least compared to the players. Less than 6', probably by a good bit. Plus Herm doesn't have the muscle bulk a Rugby player would have. A normal, not extraordinarily strong person less than 6' at 400 pounds, would not get around like Herm did. That said, he might be 320, I don't know, but 400 for Herm is laughable unless he is like 6'8" or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine from HGH testing which is reportedly requiring players to have 7 vials of blood drawn. Many players are complaining about it and how it's making them sick and feel like s*** well afterwards.
