QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 15, 2008 -> 11:02 AM) So Ian Kinsler needs to take a ball to the head for what reason? Saying a hitter should get beaned does not mean he should take one to the head...

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 07:48 PM) Anyways, Coop could potentially turn Cabrera into a super stud. It's kinda scary the potential that there is there. Totally agree. This is the ideal kind of pitcher for Coop; a guy with a ridiculous arm who just cant harness it. I dont believe Cabrera has ever had any serious injury problems so if he could be had for a relatively cheap price (as compared to a Duchscherer or Bedard) I'd be in full support of his acquisition.

As many have already said, Duchscherer is having a phenomenal year but how long will it last? I think going after him is just incredibly risky and I'm not so sure I'd support it. If want a pitching upgrade, I'd much prefer going in another direction.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 08:18 PM) Escobar 2-3 in game 1. He's gotta start hitting for some power and walking. Mixed results so far in Kanny. He's only 19 so i'm not too worried. I'm assuming he'll be in Kanny next year too so we'll see what adjustments he can make in the offseason and how much muscle he can add. I'd like to see him stealing bases though. You'd think with his frame and not much power that he'd have some speed.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 10:20 AM) Barry Sanders. How dare you...

7 3/8 but if i plan on using it for softball 7 1/2 cuz i know it will shrink

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 04:29 PM) Am I the only Bears fan who would take a shot on Favre? Simply to piss off every Packer fan? And also to hope he still has something in the tank? As annoying as this episode has been, I too am holding out hope he still has something left and comes back. I've always enjoyed watching him play.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 03:24 PM) Water Polo, Soccer, Basketball, Tennis, and Track. FYI there's an article on the Serbian U-21 team thats going to Beijing on fifa.com's front page right now

I hate Aramis Ramirez

Just wow... This is gonna be an interesting situation for even longer now. Ugh, just make a decision already. I love Favre but his "retirement" antics the past 3 years have gone way beyond the point of annoying

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 01:41 PM) 1. Any advice on things to do in Ireland? We will hit up the touristy things and I'm going with a group that will have fun, but I want to know if anyone has any unique advice on things to do there. First off, I'm very jealous. I've been compiling a list of places around the world I want to one day visit so here's a few ideas: -Blarney Castle -St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin -Skellig Michael -- it's an uninhabited (i think) island with monastery ruins from the 6th century. Very well preserved considering its age. Its a UNESCO World Heritage site -Bunratty and King John's Castles in Limerick -Bru na Boinne in Meath County -- another World Heritage Site -Kilkenny Castle

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...mp;lid=tab3pos1 Didnt know where to put this, but it's a really nice article and a good read about a guy who's dream was only to play minor league ball and how he got there. Its long, but worth it.

Would have picked soccer if it was there... And i didnt pick either, but i'll just say right here that it is retarded that this is the last time baseball and softball will be olympic sports

Cole Armstrong is hitting .550 in his first 10 games in AAA (21/38). Not a bad way to react to a promotion.

Hopefully they bring him up in September so we can see him a bit. He's on a torrid pace still and its amazing he's hitting .300 with that god awful start of his

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 07:41 AM) This is true, I think he had a OBP of 1 pont better. Slugging was up a little bit with Dye too. But there's a lot more to a player than just the offensive averages line. Dye was just edging him out in those areas too. Dye would have been a good AS player too though. Both were very close. Also keep in mind that Longoria is now the 4th 3B on the team

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 03:35 PM) LETS GET DYE IN Note: I still think he'll get in as a replacement for Ortiz (or have they already announced Ortiz's replacement). I thought Milton Bradley was his replacement?

Gaudin's first two batters faced: HR and a single

We have an annual whiffle ball tournament every year (this is the 4th annual in a couple weeks) that lasts all day (plus kegs are involved, food and an open bar that night at a club someone DJ's at so you know...) But its so much fun, a lot of us are in college or a just a few years out so it's fun getting teams together and playing against guys you went to high school with or played varsity against from other districts. I think we have 6 teams this year. Sounds ridiculous but we look forward to it every year now haha.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 10:35 AM) I don't get everyone saying how much Texas stinks. They are 36-25 since May 1st. Thats the thing, they don't. They cant pitch too well but they sure can hit. I'll be fine with 2/3 and a split with the Tiggers/Twins series going on now

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 03:06 PM) Yes, I think Alexei would be better in CF than Swisher, and yes I think Swisher would be better at 1B than Konerko. And I know Konerko have his 10/5 rights. Are players still allowed to waive a trade clause? Yes.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3480488 NBA trying to intervene in the Schultz's lawsuit against Clay Bennett Theres a shocker...go f*** yourself David Stern

My name has never been higher than 5 and never lower than 16 for any year on record...kinda odd

I wouldnt mind going after Kevin Gregg actually if the Marlins fall out of it. He could be had relatively cheap and it gives you someone who has been successfully closing for the past couple years in case Bobby needs a day off or more later in the year. Also, Francisco Cordero of Cincinnati could be a possibility as well

I love that this got pinned haha
