Umm...the dude's out a month.

Someone's feelings are hurt no one is voting positive...

Pop goes the hamstring as the hamstring goes POP.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Yankee fans love small sample sizes.

Schilling was good, Okajima was good. Papelbon learned that missing locations will kill you even with dominant stuff. Why no splitters to Buck? Especially at the point where he hit the HR?

Snap, crackle, POP?

Another issue here is that Beane, the leader of keeping cost-effective players, is trying to deal a guy who has the potential to be an ace and is cost controlled. Does that not wave any red flags?

That's why Crisp should never hit the ball in the air.

7 from Schilling would be sweet. edit - 10 pitch innings could mean even more.

Already a thread.

Oh man, Jacko discovered image macros.

He'll go 2-4 tonight.

Got the lineups from Sosh, but NESN said Drew is in the lineup.

Lineups: Sox Lugo Youkilis Ortiz Ramirez Hinske Lowell Varitek Crisp Pedroia Schilling A's Stewart Ellis Chavez Piazza Johnson Crosby Buck Kendall Langerhans Blanton Their pitching is great, but their offense sucks. Wear down the pitchers and the Sox should win.

They need offense, and WMP is one of the few guys I can think of that will readily contribute to their offense.

But you said you were against the government taking away personal freedoms. What if someone wanted to drive drunk? Are you saying there should be some limit on the personal freedoms people allow? Like you say here: So what you're essentially saying is that we should not give up any freedoms, yet laws against driving drunk are OK. (FTR, I do not condone driving drunk, I'm merely using it as an example to show everything is not black and white) The point of government is to protect its citizens above all else. I fail to see how regulating ILLEGAL DRUGS does not fit that requirement, especially when there is significant medical evidence to the fact that some of those drugs can cuase serious health risks. Maybe not marijuana necessarily, but there are illegal drugs that can cause death on the first usage. Again, all or nothing, remember. You have the freedom of speech, yet you still can't yell "Fire" in a crowded theater. Why? To not cause a panic and protect people from harm. So we'd all be safer if all drugs were legalized? Remember, YOU can't pick and choose what drugs are legal and what drugs aren't because in your view, that inhibits freedoms. Again, until you can empirically show me otherwise, I'll go with the thought that there is no positive correlation between the legalization of drugs and the drop in crime rate. I don't support the Patriot Act at all. However, the government was acting in the way they thought they could best protect the citizens of this country, which is thier number 1 job. It's too bad the people running the show don't know what to do. The theory behind their practices is sound, their execution was not.

Beane's gonna want a lot, that's for sure. If a deal gets done I can almost guarantee WMP will be a part of it.

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/mlb_experts/post/Five-and-Fly-A-s-shopping-Harden-?urn=mlb,30852&post_comment=1&success=1 I don't like the fact that Beane is shopping this guy around. The injury risk is just too great.

Two quick questions. 1. Do you have any empirical, cited references that say if marijuana was legalized, the crime rates would go down? Is there some kind of significant statistical correlation to these two that people have done studies on? If you can link me to these studies, then yeah I'll believe it. But until then I think that there is no guarantee the crime rate would go down if drugs were legalized. (Although you hate statistics, so I can probably just expect a post of you repeating your opinions) 2. Alcohol is a drug, is it not? Do you think there is a reason that governments put restricitons on the amount of alcohol you can drink before operating a motor vehicle? Have you not leanred anything from the Josh Hancock mess? Do you think we as citizens should be allowed to consume as much alcohol as we want and then get behind the wheel of a car? Like it or not, this government was founded on the principles of the social contract. You know what that is? It says that citizens, like you and I, follow the government's rules and regulations in order to keep social order and to be protected from the government. It is a classic example of compromise. We give up some "personal freedoms" (like in this case, smoking pot) in order to be protected in times of crisis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_contract Read up on it, sport.

A Broken fingernail sounds like it hurts like a bitch. Don't be surprised if he misses a start.

Just win, f***ers.
