Eric Wilbur is like an intern. He sucks. Gee. What do you write about when the team is in first place? These writers have no clue. Don't believe him folks, we all know it's not that bad.

I want Ortiz, but my gut tells me Lee.

With this years goofy Nation vs Nation set up (and odd contenstants), who will win the Home Run Derby?

What's the score of the Yankee game now?

What's the score of the Yankee game?

2...

Ok, Halama in to start the 7th down 4-1. Let's see how many runs he gives up...

1-1. Rent!

I got the Phillies/Nationals game. 1-0 O's.

No. It's a sucker bet by the other team. Papi has a much better chance of hitting a HR than getting a bunt down. The shift only takes away singles to right field, not hits or HRs anywhere else. Now with a guy like Giambi, he probably should bunt a little. He's more of a line drive hitter.

Steroids is still front page news in NY?

Looks like Cabrera has problems with lefies. Righties are batting .154 against Cabrera with 0 Hrs and 14 RBI. Lefties .314 with 8 Hrs and 36 RBI. L L/R L L R L R L L/R And then we have Manny, JD, Tek and Rent waiting for BJ Ryan. I like it.

Well, the Yanks just put Pavano on the 15 day DL with a bum shoulder ... retroactive to June 28

You'd never know that the Sox were a season high 4 games in first place by reading talksox or the newspapers. Jeeeeeeeeez people. Calm down. There is no reason to hate our players as much as you guys do. Let's see, people you all would hate if they saved the world. Kevin Millar Keith Foulke Allen Embree Matt Mantia Mark Bellhorn And yet scrubs/backups like Youkilis, Jay Payton, Kapler and Dave Roberts you all love. I can't remember where I heard it or read it, but someone said the other day "It seems the Red Sox players have more fun than their fans do." So true. :thumbdown

Nothing. What team would trade for him when they know the Sox will release him in 10 days and have to eat his salary?

Someone just told me Jay Payton got traded too.

I agree with that (being too rough) and in 4-6 weeks, we should find out if we were right or wrong. It's the same surgery Mueller had. If it's more than that, we are f*ked. But I think he'll be back.

This thread was great. I'm asking: who would not want to see Schilling come in for the 9th? Genius...

No sound??? It's an audio file of Yeszir having sex with some older woman. It's hillarious. He has no idea we're playing it over talksox while he's out of town.
