Fox sports actually had a good take on it.
http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/8117440/Don't-ballplayers-deserve-a-little-privacy?
"And when you share your locker room with the media, you share your inflatable sex toys with the world.
From taking a called third strike to pulling on his underwear, a ballplayer exists under the constant scrutiny of the media horde. Why can't he have a sanctuary beyond the trainer's room?
Given how totally devoid of revelation 95 percent of all player quotes are anyway, do the fans really need reporters to have access to the locker room? (And don't most reporters, in fact, dread this part of their job?) I mean, just make the manager, the winning or losing pitcher and a guy with a couple of hits available in a press room and we're done, right"?
SOX suck ..and so does there cocky Manager..
GO CUBS

Now THAT'S insightful.
pdxbears:It was a bummer to see Floyd not have his great stuff again. I just got done recommending him for someone's fantasy team too!
Yeah, but I still can't help but be excited about the guy.
KW's gonna look like a genius if Gavin and Danks were to pitch around this same level years down the road.
Yeah, these players are robbing this team dry. Although I'm not too fond of using coaches as the scapegoat, I don't see anything to warrant Walker's employment with the Sox organization. There's something obviously wrong with the way these guys are swinging the lumber—I can't see it, but a HITTING coach should. Walker isn't seeing it, attempting to fix it. Let him go, he isn't fulfilling his duties.
Outside of a few starters and bullpen guys, this team's pathetic.

I picked up Quentin and Floyd on my keeper team off of the free agent wire a few weeks after the draft. I hope they keep it up as they are big reasons for my team starting off well this year.

I've never tried fantasy leagues. Seems like you have to...actually do stuff. And to say I'm too lazy to try would be the understatement of the year.
It doesn't really entail much more than typing some messages on a message board. You just need to know something about current players.
Looks good from the top don't it
pd1dish:well we beat the Giants 13-8 last night. our hitting was great but our relief pitching was pitiful...dotel putting 3 guys on in a row by WALKING THEM. he threw 15 pitches and 12 of them were balls.is this a sign of our pitching going to back last year or our hitting going back to 2005. i really hope our pitching doesnt suck as bad as it did last year. Buehrle is already having a tough year and he should be our best pitcher.
As long as the starting pitching continues to pitch the way it is (...except Buehrle), that'd be fine by me. They always did JUST enough to get the W back in '05. If the team were to go back to that formula, Al would be one happy camper.
wooooweee..... Beat Sabathia for the 1st time in Chicago. Pitching, pitching, pitching. Contreras and the gang were awesome. Check out this stat on him...he's 3-0 with a 1.35 ERA in his last three starts. That's a sweet turnaround from last year.
Yeah, big hand to Jose.
And how bout Los Quentin? Man continues to impress.
I have to say I'm enjoying this tweaked lineup Oz is throwing out there. AJ at the 2 spot? Who woulda thunk it? Quentin at 3? Was only a matter of time.
Keep it up fellers.
