lfcstlouis, Jason Isringhausen is pitching for the Angels right now against the Yanks.
I'm sorry, did I just time travel back to 1999? Jesus, last I heard he was a pitching coach for the Mets last year....Originally Posted by BostonFans
Also, like always, my fantasy team takes about 3 weeks to get off the ground. I'm currently losing 3-11-0 with not really close in anything except QS.
Ervin Santana is leading my team with a 7.55 ERA. I should write him a letter.
Shipped 5 runs to us today.
Isringhausen looks ANCIENT!
God, back in '04-'06 before he got injured, he was the worst/best closer for us. We'd be up for 3 runs. He'd walk the bases loaded, and then get the final out of a 399 foot fly ball to center. Every single time it was an adventure.... He's got to be pushing 40's.
Yeah, I thought I was being a bit sly by getting Santana for 3 bucks in the draft, but his 4/5 run outings so far haven't gone too well for my team.
Ellsbury out indefinitely after dislocating his shoulder, and Youkilis couldn't hit if they were throwing a soccer ball at him right now.
What the **** is this man?! What the ****?!
Go to a Seattle Sounders forum if you wanna talk that filth.

So sensitive...
I'm only kidding.
So my Cardinals are doing quite well to start the season. Albert who?
My fantasy team is not doing well at all.
I destroyed my first opponent in fantasy baseball. Matt Kemp batting almost .500 and going crazy helps a lot too. The real MVP last year imo.
How does anybody understand the tactics they use for NFL? Its all lines and squiggles!
Interesting times in Boston - I don't think the shine has worn off FSG but the natives are restless.
Fenway festivities temporarily mask Red Sox’s current concerns

BOSTON—It is a day for history here at Fenway Park, a time to commemorate the 100th birthday of baseball’s oldest stadium, the one its current owners have tabbed, “America’s Most Beloved Ballpark.”
Outside on Landsdowne and Ipswich Streets, fans crowded buses packed with former Red Sox—more than 100 of them—as the players streamed out and into the park. Inside, players donned 1912 replica uniforms, while fans and press box denizens talked about the best moments in the Boston Red Sox’s tenure at the park.

Players going back to Ted Williams’ contemporaries Johnny Pesky and Bobby Doerr were present, as well as prominent figures like Pumpsie Green (the Red Sox’s first black player) and longtime Red Sox goat Bill Buckner. Hall of Famers like Jim Rice and Carlton Fisk, local legends like Rico Petrocelli, Dave Henderson, Luis Tiant, Lou Merloni and Oil Can Boyd drew cheers, right up to the self-dubbed “idiots” (Kevin Millar, Mike Timlin, Pedro Martinez and friends) who helped the team break its 86-year World Series drought in 2004.
For the Red Sox, such pomp and circumstance couldn’t come at a better time. The more that folks here in the park focus on the distant past and the warm-and-fuzzy memories, the more they’re distracted from the current state of the Red Sox, which has been neither warm nor fuzzy.
Boston enters the afternoon dead last in the AL East at 4-8, with a pitching staff that ranks worst in the majors with a 6.20 ERA. That, of course, only looks worse in light of the way last season ended, with an epic September collapse that was blamed mostly on the shabby performance of the team’s high-profile pitchers. And the team’s new manager, Bobby Valentine, hasn’t helped matters, either, making a number of obvious in-game mistakes (most notably leaving in starter Daniel Bard too long in a 1-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays) and lodging criticism of popular third baseman Kevin Youkilis.
Even the 100th anniversary celebration involved some PR woes for the Red Sox. Their invitation to ex-manager Terry Francona originally was declined before he reconsidered—and to make matters worse, Francona drew one of the loudest cheers here Friday. It was a chance for fans to put in a not-too-subtle dig at the current state of the team and voice their displeasure with the handling of Francona’s departure.
The team originally offered invitations only to uniformed personnel, leaving out former general manager Theo Epstein. When the team offered Epstein a late invitation (just yesterday, in fact), he turned it down.
Fortunately for the team, once the hour-long pregame ceremony got under way, all of that was easy to put aside.
“I would say that this ballpark has created as many memories for people in this area and around the world as any venue in the world,” Valentine said. “Today, I think there will be a memory created for me and everybody else who’s here today, and I’m looking forward to it.”

NFL Draft next week!
The buzz around Austin is all about RG3. The suddenly discovered love for Baylor is almost nauseating.
Where does Austin fall in the Cowboys v Texans demographic?The buzz around Austin is all about RG3. The suddenly discovered love for Baylor is almost nauseating.
UFC 145 here in Atlanta tonight. Been enjoyable so far.
Just watched Rory MacDonald annihilate Che Mills.
That kid is a talent, no doubt.
Yeah he does, now for Jon Bones Jones!!! This kid is the best youngster in the game I believe.
Was very impressed with him.
Main Event is finally here! Lets go Jones!
This is interesting.
Evans is a cocky little bellend.
Come on Bones!
Jon Jones is easily the best light-heavy weight in the UFC.
He's a freak. A total freak.
I do not see anyone who can beat him at the moment at 205.
Looks like another scandal for the Saints.

Herp derp...its a mobile page but check espn, of all people the GM is now in an eavesdropping thing, unreal.
Heard this this morning. Haven't read too much into the details, but when it rains.....
This would cripple the franchise. They might even look back into their Super Bowl victory and such. This couldn't get any worse for them.... unless they don't sign Brees.
DRAFT TALK:
What are you looking for in your team's draft? Any players you've got your hopes pinned on? Who's gonna be your team's first-round pick?
I think we all know lfcstlouis will cream his drawers if one of Justin Blackmon or Michael Floyd (WRs the both of them) gets taken by the Rams. I hope they pick either for his sake.
For my Packers, I'm hoping we improve our rush off the outside, our defensive line rotation, and our running game. We've got to find a successor to Cullen Jenkins, whom we struggled to replace. They Claymaker needs a good partner on the outside of our LBs to help take some of the Claymaking burden off of him. Running backs we have struggled with, but we need a run game.
Wouldn't mind if the Packers took that center from Wisconsin, though, and had Jeff Saturday train him up good before letting him loose on the league. That boy is a monster.
Yes to either of those. I'd also take another WR if we could. Need help at CB and safety, and well plenty of else. But I'd look for WR, then CB, then maybe an offensive lineman, then a safety.
We are a two year project, so we don't need to get it all done this year.
I reckon Jerel Worthy will still be on the board at 25 for Denver. Brockers would require a miracle, personally I think we could even trade out of the first round and into the top of the second and get Derek Wolfe at DT. Worthy seems to have consistency issues.
I hear we're still in the running to trade for Asante Samuel and all it might take is the 4th rounder possibly the same one we got from the Jets for Tebow. If we trade down and out of the 1st round then we might have that extra late round pick to compensate for it.
LaMichael James is an interesting one in the 2nd round, would be pretty wild having Manning tossing it to him in the backfield and watching him make a huge play.
Could use a WR too and more interior line help.
If I believe the experts many say that Dont'a Hightower or Cordy Glenn could be a Steeler with the 23rd pick. Being a Georgia man I am biased in saying Cordy Glenn would be awesome. Steelers O'line is always pretty bad. We do need a new LB though.
