Badum - BUM!

I smell a T-shirt offer coming – www.soxmachine.com. One of these is going to catch fire – Quentin’s target, Thome’s Gentleman Masher, now Cap’n Swish. Jim obviously doesn’t like pitchers much. Or “urban”. (There have to be a million possibilities with JD, who at least Fox is touting as an MVP candidate.)

I'm thoroughly disappointed.

For The Record

Even when he wasn’t playing to great I still liked him. Seems like he’s a really good guy and the work he does for charity is really damn impressive.

Basically the guy realizes how lucky he is to be getting paid to do what he loves, which is becoming a rarity in today’s sports world

by 815Sox on Jul 1, 2008 4:49 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Was it a silent crush?

‘Cause it’s wonderful to shout his name from the rooftops now that he’s doing well. Let it out.

Please go to Cheat’s rainbow fanshot. Judy Garland beckons…

Not sure

I can only imagine the response I’d get when he was playing like shit if I said

“But he does alot for charity dudes!”

"charity is nice. call me when it wins fucking baseball games."

Totally off topic

But what happened with Mike North, I personally couldn’t stand the guy (he was terrible around the time of the start of the Iraq “war”) but was it over money?? Kinda seems like it and he’s trying to play it off

yep

try wearing one on your flight to your marathon event

It's a 45 minute drive to Titusville, which is where the marathon is gonna be.

However, I will be in Chicago 8/11-17 and will wear it proudly all effin’ week. Even to the Scrubs’ game the 12th (I’m not paying, a vendor is.)

Speaking of that, when are you guys gonna revisit the bar/drinky thing that never came together because it was stunningly planned on St. Patty’s Day, IIRC, and no one could get to the bar? I know the Sox are out of town that week so a bar night might be in order. MM can bring the mind-altering substances aside from alcohol. I’ll bring the Necktie shirts.

Just askin’.
