  1. Damn Yankees took the lead again. Up 5-4 on the lowly Astros.
  2. Remember when Texas wanted us to give him up for Salty?
  3. Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding. You just explained the Marlins Front Office.
  4. Miami paid Toronto $8.5M in the trade.
  5. Yes, it was $6M for 2012, $11M this year, $18M in 2014, and $19M in 2015. (With a $4M signing bonus)
  6. I was working on an Oceanography project while eating takeout Chinese food when that happened in my freshmen year of college. That is one of those few events where you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when it happened.
  7. I'm not too surprised since we switched the lineup a bit. We used to hit Papi or Gonzalez or other various power hitters 3rd, and now that we have more speed in our lineup we have more of a hybrid of speed/power in the first 3 spots. (Ellsbury/Victorino/Pedroia) Then again I don't care if none of them hit a HR all season if they continue their average/obp that they currently have.
  8. It's not like fishing where we have to throw the little ones back. We'll still keep those infield hits.
  9. I'm a Spurs fan and after all the times they beat us I'm happy it went the other way this time.
  10. Agreed, is CC maybe the only other pitcher with an outside shot of it? I wish Mussina didn't retire as early and if Pettitte didn't leave that might have given him a chance.
  11. It's a shame because I wanted him to be the next guy to 300 wins.
  12. It was Roy Halladay too. Sad. I've always wanted him to do well.
  13. Every once in a while I'll get a blank page for a few hours at a time when I type in talksox.com. It's not always the same white page though. I guess whenever that happens I'll try talksox.com/forum.
  14. As long as we have many effective relievers on our team I don't care which one is the closer. I can't wait until Morales and Breslow are back too because that potentially can give us a lethal bullpen.
  15. A's and Angels went 19 innings last night. Gotta suck for both bullpens, although Jerome Williams and Brett Anderson did about 5-6 innings of relief a piece. Moss was the hero with a 2 run walk off.
  16. Don't get me wrong, I agree with your remarks on Frank, he deserves every bit of it and doesn't deserve to have that much money either. The world is a crappy place and divorce tends to suck for both sides. I'm sure for every case of a dead beat dad that doesn't pay child support there's an instance of a woman getting child support money and spending it on herself. Then again, to be perfectly honest, I don't really like how athletes/actors etc make exorbinant amounts of money compared to police officers/fire fighters/teachers/paramedics/soldiers etc but that's another debate. My apologies for being on a soap box y'all. I guess I'm the most cynical of cynical asses.
  17. I guess my point is while she was part owner, she never really did any of the work. Even when she was an executive, he still did all the planning and financials I read. I forget the exact article but it was on yahoo. My main point is that under any circumstances $131 million (or whatever the total was) should be enough to live the rest of your life, and if it isn't, then you have some serious problems. I don't think that laying on your back and taking a couple of loads entitles women to that kind of money. I don't think Frank McCourt (or virtually anybody) deserves that much money either, but I especially don't think she deserves it. I think there's an Italian politician that got divorced recently and his wife is getting like a million dollars a month in alimony. I hate the world sometimes.
  18. It's true though, do you see what Jamie McCourt is doing? She's suing because apparently the $131M she got in divorce wasn't enough and that her husband lied about how much the franchise was worth and now that the big TV deal happened she wants more money.
  19. I thought that was Quincy Market, and that Faneuil Hall had museum type displays and souvenir shops. I believe they are right next to one another.
  20. I remember when Varitek was getting divorced while on the Sox. That lasted a while I think.
  21. He only had 81 pitches so it could have been possible.
  22. There we go, finally. Now I'm looking at box scores of games and hoping for the team with the worst record to win.
  23. I'd wait to the end of the game for that. They should have lost a few to Toronto and then some random carcass from 2006 would hit a home run at the end to give them the lead.
  24. They were pretty good a few years ago but yeah, it's been a miserable and pathetic existence.
