Youk Of The Nation

Nice, thanks. Ill try to say something charmingly witty or downright hilarious at least once a week so you can get some variety.

If the Pirates could clone Zach Duke, Jason Bay, Wilson and Wilson and somehow kidnap Rob Mackowiak, they'd own.

I doubt even getting hit a dozen times, let alone once, will discomfort him. Hurling baseballs at David Ortiz in an attempt to intimidate him is like charging at the President with a Nerf gun. Its not going to do anything, and you're still going to be crushed.

I KNEW someone was going to post a fully cooked and dressed turkey. I KNEW it. Wait till ORS sees it.

Someone should post a real picture of a dead vulture or turkey in this thread to make it official.

Ouch. Y'know their skin is like sandpaper.

Id look around and murmur in stunned shock...'what the hell am I doing in San Fransisco'?

If someone bothers to check through all of them, Ill add it to my sig.

Randy looks a lot like that Looney Tunes vulture. Uh huh, uh huh.

Twins, Sox and Braves...thats just as bizzare as being a Sox, Rockies and Pirates fan! ...oh...right. Welcome to Talksox!

Since Detroit lost, completely killing my interest in the NHL postseason...I guess Ill root for the Sharks since their team name is cool. I want Edmonton to go down HARD.

The Reds always start out hot though.

So Im computer illiterate! I had to copy paste the codes from your April 27 thread and replace some of the links.

Since today is my birthday, I jumped on early to make the gamethread. Game Info: Date: Tuesday, May 9th, 2006 First Pitch: 7:05 pm EST TV: NESN / ESPN2/YES Starting Pitchers: http://i.a.cnn.net/si/images/baseball/mlb/players/6403.jpghttp://bellsouthpwp.net/c/h/chinigor/TALKSOX/VS.GIFhttp://i.a.cnn.net/si/images/baseball/mlb/players/4288.jpg http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/mlb/images/team_logos/50x50/bos.gif#19 Josh Beckett (3-1, 4.86) http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/mlb/images/team_logos/50x50/nyy.gif #41 Randy Johnson (5-2, 5.02) Beckett will be looking to gain his footing for the season after a few rough starts, including one against Cleveland April 27th in which he gave up a career high 9 earned runs. Beckett has had one noteable win against the New York Yankees when he pitched a complete game shutout against them at the Stadium in the 2003 World Series, when he was with the Marlins. That game clinched the Series, and two other former Marlins from that team, Alex Gonzalez and Mike Lowell, are in the Sox lineup. However, there are many new bats in the lineup that were not there during that series, notably Johnny Damon and Alex Rodriguez. MLB.com's pitching matchup says this: After pitching lights out baseball in his first three starts (3-0, 1.29 ERA) with the Red Sox, Beckett has fallen on hard times in his last three, going 0-1 with a 9.56 ERA. A force against the archrivals, Johnson posted a 5-0 record with a 3.63 ERA in six starts against the Red Sox last season. In 39 2/3 innings, Boston batted just .221 against him, while fanning 44 times. He's 13-6 in 25 career games against Boston, with a 4.21 ERA. The Red Sox's 21 homers against Johnson are second only to the Angels, who have 22. Player to watch: Second baseman Mark Loretta is heating up, with eight hits in his last 16 at-bats. Ill leave it to Riverside to post the matchups. Come on boys and give me a win like last year!

Id like to throw in very randomly that I was pleased to see both Loretta and Mueller on the underrated list according to Major League players.

As a long suffering Rockies fan, I am pleased to announce that the Rockies are STILL on top of the NL West, and more shockingly for this franchise, are 11-5 AWAY from Coors field. Yeah yeah, I know its only May, however, with Jeff Francis and Aaron Cook pitching much better than last season (Francis hasnt given up more than 2 ER in his last three starts, not to mention his shutting down the CARDINALS through 7 1/3 today, and Cook tossed his first career complete game shutout against Houston during a three game sweep), and the offense that they always had in Helton, Hawpe, Atkins, Holliday (who hit two homers today as well as in the first game of the last road trip) and others, I can honestly say I am not the only one who thinks that in their division, they have a spectacular chance to take the title and a very real chance to contend for the Division Series. They can score runs and they can finally, finally pitch (except Jose Mesa and Ray King, but even they have their moments) and if the starters can continue to pitch well, the Rockies can and will win 85-90 games this season...and even if they dont, they can win 75-85 and still take the NL West.

I get to update my signature!

No offense to the departed Mr. Chapman, but how can you write a book on that? "Once upon a time, Ray Chapman played baseball. Then he was hit in the head with a pitch and died."

10-1 in Youk multihit games.

The Red Wings are out, why does it matter anymore?

I just watched the MLB.com webgem of Crede catching that popup...but it hit the padding first. What gives?

Haha...Josh Towers is 0-6...
