Ohhhhh ok, sounds good. I'll just stand by. Thanks for running another sweet contest yet again, SFOC.

Locate the numbers on SoxFan's grid?

D-U-R-A-N-T

Thanks...look around and get posting. Welcome.

I'll spice this up a little bit...I'll buy the winner a TalkSox T-shirt if they don't already have one.

Thanks for getting this off the ground, Soxfan.

Totally in...

How many of those shirts do you have left, Rick? Any M's?

Sweet...best of luck to you, hope it works out.

I like what you did there. Well done.

Ha, we dated and were broken up by the time it happened. I would have encouraged her to do it while we were dating...sweet insider tickets :thumbsup:

A girl I used to date in Florida slept with Josh Beckett... I guess JBeck is quite the playboy around BackBay. She wasn't the classiest girl you'll ever meet

Papi was representing Marvin Harrison...one of the classiest and most talented players of my lifetime. Not to mention a 'Cuse grad. I had no problem with it.

Ha, I can't believe I never thought of that. Done aaaaaaaaaaaand done.

It's not that I didn't know who he is...it's just that I don't care that you met him. If this is where we wanna go with this, then here, here's me, a Sox fan, and someone that the vast majority of people care about: http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s201/headofsoxnation/bigpapi.jpg And if you guys don't know who THAT is, just go kill yourself

Should I be the first to say "I don't care"?

Yea I know...but I chalk those up to injuries and the intestinal illness last year. Even in decline years, he still RAKED.

Rockies have ended the discussions regarding trading Todd Helton to the Red Sox. Just saw it on the bottomline on ESPN and Rockies website proves it. Could this be just a ploy to not look desperate to dump his salary and drive up the Sox offer? Let's hope.

I love this deal... From what I've heard of Helton, he's a consumate professional in the clubhouse. I loved the way Lowell fit into this team, and I think Helton could do the same, with some more pop on the field. I love moving Youk back to 3rd where he's the most comfortable, and bringing in a GG caliber 1B into our everyday lineup. This guy is like Doug Minky D with potential .310/35/120 numbers. Makes sense on all counts as far as I'm concerned. I don't like the idea of giving up BOTH MDC and Hansen...but to be honest, I don't think either of them are ever going to be anything spectacular in this league. Granted, I could be wrong...but I was expecting more out of both to this point than I have seen. I think they'll both be solid players, but I don't think for a second anymore that Hansen is our "lockdown closer of the future" as he was touted at one time. With how solid Helton is in the field...do you think it'd be possible to have him play 3rd during Interleague to keep him and Papi in the lineup? I know 3B and 1B are far different positions, but I don't think its out of the realm of possibilities that a guy with such a grasp on 1B could play at least a presentable 3B if need be for a 3 or 4 game set.

I just got a huge kick out of that. I'm 22 years old and my brother (3 years my senior) and I still have intense wiffleball homerun derbys every family holiday at the same field we played on when we were first learning to swing.

Good to have you here. Slap Skip Bayless for me if you ever come in contact with him.

Psh...are you trying to say paying Adrian Beltre $13 million to be a .268/25/89 guy isn't a good move? Then again...I'd be thrilled if we get that out of Drew. Blahhhh. This still makes me nauseous everytime we bring it up. :thumbdown

No...but a heartfelt handshake never hurt anyone. You can tell sincerity when you see it, and it was totally absent when he encountered Manning. No one is suggesting anything over the top, but an exchange with class, dignity, and respect is expected. It's been done for years...why's Hoodie any different?
