fuck this site. i'm going to soxmachine. that's where the cool kids hang out now.
in their respective baseball purgatories, both frank thomas and jerry owens loudly whine.
agree! Ever since you told me Wiz
Was replaced by a computer this site may as well be running Vista.
Though if Wiz really was assimilated by the Borg, I hope he’s getting some from Jeri Ryan.
"Lipstick traces on cigarettes can get you in trouble or remind you of the wonders of the night before."
ramirez gets a start
Swish, CF; OC, SS; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; Dye, RF; AJ, C; Quentin, LF; Crede, 3B; Ramirez, 2B. Floyd pitching.
that's cuz Urine sucks and is fat.

I know we’re up and running for the moment, but I haven’t been given an update…

I sent an email to Kos
he said “thx for your patience, this will be fixed when the Dems have a nominee”.
Confusing, especially when he signed it “The Great Orange Satan”.
"Lipstick traces on cigarettes can get you in trouble or remind you of the wonders of the night before."
Nah
I believe Kos’ postition is that the dems have a nominee, we’re just being forced to finish out the process because it makes for good ratings. Oh and Hillary’s a bitch.
AIM: SouthSideCheat
All kidding aside, I know that
except for the ratings part. He’d draw without a competition.

From tech:
We are slowly bringing blogs back online and monitoring their impact
on server load. Specifically, we’re trying to prime the pump on our
caching engine so that we can reduce the load on our database. This is
necessary if we are to bring the whole network back online. It’s a
slow process as we test everything out. We’ve cautiously brought some
of the newly upgraded hardware into the mix and are watching for the
errors we encountered yesterday. I still don’t have an exact timeline
for anyone, but we’re making progress on resolving this outage.Hopefully no one will be looking at the downtime message much longer

I'm surprised they didn't say
“have you tried rebooting”?

Don’t you know Gavin has some of the nastiest pitches in baseball. He’s established himself at a new level, and we can expect him to continue to hold opponents to a .136 BABIP and a give up HR on 5.6% of his FB.

where's the ignore button?

don't forget
he has done it without the benefit of pitching in the national league, which sucks in general and is where pitchers bat, and a huge strike zone.

"Lipstick traces on cigarettes can get you in trouble or remind you of the wonders of the night before."
Cheat...
I don’t know if you noticed, but a certain baseball-reference team page from a certain “special” season is currently on sale for $40 bucks. I don’t want to get on an emotional ‘soapbox’ here but that’s not right—that bunch needs a sponsor.
So two questions… is this ‘diary’ worthy (I’m fairly sure the answer is yes but I’ll pose it anyways) and how would we go about collecting the cash? Not that $40 is a huge amount by any means but I think it’d be neat to have the SSS community sponsor it.
figure out the How's and I'm in
if you need it up front, say so.
"Lipstick traces on cigarettes can get you in trouble or remind you of the wonders of the night before."
I've Been Calling
for this lineup for a while now. I thought it might not happen with Uribe’s 2 RBIs on Tuesday, but I think this provides us some nice speed at the bottom of the lineup with Alexei. I know he’s not experienced, but right now we don’t have a spot for Owens and Uribe isn’t doing SHIT at the plate, so Ramirez can’t do much worse. As for the fielding, we’ll have a better idea on his skills @ 2nd after tonight. But I AM happy that this lineup is finally being used…
out of curiosity
are you in Vegas?
"Lipstick traces on cigarettes can get you in trouble or remind you of the wonders of the night before."
Is That The Only Way
that this lineup makes sense to you is if I put money on Ramirez being @ 2B in the 9 spot?
nope. I don't object to this tonight.
though I hardly think the 9 hole hitter is making the difference. I really just wondered if you are the Paul who writes to Gonzo at the Trib.
"Lipstick traces on cigarettes can get you in trouble or remind you of the wonders of the night before."
Nope
No Trib for me. I stick to SSS. Gonzalez does a fine job, but that’s not me. And I agree, the 9 hole isn’t much of an importance, but I am starting to grow tired of Uribe and I feel this move was much needed…now only if we can get to see this lineup in action, & soon…
Farmer says 30 more minutes

''It's a grinder-type attitude, energetic attitude, confident-type attitude, and if it grinds on some people, then I need to know who those people are so we can move them on''
He's matured since last week
''It's a grinder-type attitude, energetic attitude, confident-type attitude, and if it grinds on some people, then I need to know who those people are so we can move them on''
Slow pitching and the Sox
With Sonnanstine, Tampa, and Musina last night it occurs to me that the Sox should have batting practice with pitchers who pitch in a similar manner. I wonder if they ever try
that. We cannot be this poor hitting against 70-85 MPH pitches, or can we? I hate to say this but shouldn’t the Hitting Coach have some method of teaching the hitters to adjust.
it just seems
if we face a junk ball pitcher we do crappy or if we haven’t faced a pitcher before we can’t do crap against them

Wow!
Not that he didn’t pay his taxes or anything like that. Or perhaps obstructed the investigation.
He did have testimonials from Woody Harrelson and Denzel. I THINK Woody’s still a Caucasoid.
I took the "under".
funny, i saw a recent video clip of snipes walking through ny on the 15th
of this month, and the camaraman asked him, in jest, if everything was going good. snipes was unresponsive and looked more than a little concerned. funny at the time. funnier now.
What I want to know is how he got away with it for so long
He didn’t file a tax return for ten years or something like that didn’t he?

I'd forgotten about Ozzie's infatuation with the IBB
Cripes… it’s the 3rd inning and we’re pitching around Hideki Matsui?
The yankees are in his head
All sorts of left-handed hitters… They draw walks, we don’t throw strikes…
I got an idea let’s give them some more free passes…
AIM: SouthSideCheat
Same as last night with all of these IBB's...
Ozzie is a dope. I don’t think he gets it. He must think that walks only help our team’s offense and not our opposition.
That's what I mean
We went 19 games and we saw what, 2 of them? Then the Yankees come to town and we’ve got 3 in the last 12 innings.
AIM: SouthSideCheat
Well, he seems to fear lefties... specifically Damon and Giambi.
I love how Ozzie would rather face Abreu than Damon. Makes sense. And of course, guess who has killed us in this series? How could a manager be that dense?
I also think part of it
is he has no fear of Ensberg… We’d be seeing some different management with ARod in there.

what a great paragraph this is:
Limos from Jacobs’ company transported Gay Games celebrities and dignitaries to and from the Opening and Closing ceremonies. Jacobs also donated all of his limos for the Gay Games Night of 100 Champions in April, "just as a way of saying thank you."i laughed out loud. dont know if its the gay dignitaries, or jacobs’ thank you. something seems askew.

Larry, did you look at all of those team results from that Hardball Times defense pdf I tossed up a few weeks ago?
Seems like that slick fielding gold glover was decidedly below average way back in 2006 already on balls in the hole AND balls right at ‘im. And just plain average going to his left. A picture is worth a 1000 words – what I’d like to know is how on earth he won a gold glove last year:

it would suck

The Sox are 0-3 in games this season when they’ve attempted a stolen base…
They are 0-4 in games in which they’ve issued an intentional walk.

''It's a grinder-type attitude, energetic attitude, confident-type attitude, and if it grinds on some people, then I need to know who those people are so we can move them on''
doesn't hold up for stolen bases...
30 – 54 in games without an attempt last season… Which means they were 42-36 in games with an attempt… But that was a more mobile team (who couldn’t hit) Pods, Erstad, Owens…
They were 5-33 in games with an IBB though.

which could be more a reflection of the fact that the sox are
already in enough trouble to think about IBBs, regardless of what happens after that.

in hell that Alexei might get more playing time over Uribe? I mean, he DID almost have a triple, something that Uribe will never get barring he dosen’t shake all the outfielders to the ground with his earth trembling weight.
you realize that uribe has more career triples than orlando cabrera, right?
and more in each of the last, oh, every year uribe has played. get a new schtick.
