Jenks is worthy of 4-5 million per year, imo. The problem is at 7 or 8 mill you have problems. And unlike with Liney we are talking about a one year deal. Putz will get 4-6 mill a year too, probably, at least when you factor in his incentives.

Damn, that was a monster punt.

Beautiful, 3 and out. How about a big Hester return!!!

Now lets force a 3 and out!!!

Oline did a nice job on that TD, Jay threw a great pass, and Olsen made the nice catch. Beautiful!!!

That is a typo right Balta? Jenks at 5M a year would work for me.

I want more Taylor. He hits the hole harder and faster and right now we needt hat.

Glad to see the officials got the proper call, now lets hope Longwell misses his first field goal of the season. Maybe a Peppers block!!! yesss, missed!!!!

Huge 3rd down in the red zone. Stop it Chicago. That should be intentional grounding by Favre.

What the f*** Knox. That should have been a big 1st down pickup and instead its a pick and Minny is now driving thanks to two Bears defensive holding penalties. f*** f*** f***ity f***

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 01:47 PM) I'm as big a Beckham fan as anyone on this site, but that was a three-month slump. You can't just hand-wave over it. I like Becks, in fact, I really like him, but if we could get a really top flight 5 tool young CFer than I'd do it. Or outfielder. So I don't think his untouchable, just unlikely we will deal him. I really wonder if this is the year we see a very new White Sox offense. One that won't have many familiar faces from the past two years (Dye, Paulie, Thome, AJP, CQ).

What sucks is ATT has the best global plan available. Beats Verizon and Sprint just dropped there. Sprint used to have the best one available (now they have none).

Notre Dame beating Utah pretty negatively impacts my thoughts of other non BCS conference schools. Great win for ND though. I still believe in Kelly. Now I just have to hope the Bears surprise me since Iowa just broke my heart this season. Very rarely as a Hawkeye fan do I ever get to have top 5 in the country expectations and well, those expectations are now officially gone.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 12, 2010 -> 03:43 PM) Then quite honestly, I think you are seeing what you want to see, or expected to see. I've never been as huge a Bush hater as some here, I think he was doing what he thought was best. He was just not a good executive, and he made a bunch of mistakes including one gigantic and tragic war. And for me, all I see is people poking fun at his lack of depth. On what planet is that hate? Now, Sqwert's post, borders on it. I'll give you that one, and so will he. I wasn't commenting on your post, rather the first few posts, which are clearly intended to do one thing and one thing only, call Bush an idiot and hate on him. They might say its not hate, its fact, but whatever.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 12, 2010 -> 11:51 AM) Just seems like you are overreacting here. I don't see hate x10, I see people hitting Bush for writing a lame book, by all accounts. I'm still going to read it, though. Thats odd, all I see is hate in those initial posts.

I want Lethal Weapon 5 to come out. It has been bantied about quite a bit and the Lethal Weapon series is an all time great.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 11, 2010 -> 02:53 PM) I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the author one day will be found beaten to death and stuffed in a dumpster. Your probably right.

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 11, 2010 -> 07:36 AM) Actually a how to break the law book may actually be illegal. What about the computer hacking books that exist? The author is disgusting though and anyone who buys the book has serious issues.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 12, 2010 -> 08:22 AM) Judging by the interations we saw from the Front Office on "The Club", there were some short-sighted thinkers. In general Kenny is an in-patient guy so he's bound to be a bit more short sighted. That said Kenny has a pretty good track record as far as our franchise record is concerned during his tenure. However, I would have no problem handing the reigns over to Hahn and I had thought it would happen sooner rather than later. I still think it will happen in the next 2 years. I thought it would happen this off-season though but I guess Kenny still has the juices. It will be an interesting off-season.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 12, 2010 -> 08:08 AM) I still wonder if Hudson would be a part of the Sox if Beckham could have made a play on a pretty routine grounder in Oakland that resulted in Hudson having a bad start. Also, I think the fact there were some in the Sox Front Office that didn't view Hudson as anything more than a #3/4 starter in the years to come caused the trade. The thing is, there is nothing wrong with a 3 or a 4. If we could turn Huddy into another Garland (i.e., solid quality pitcher who throws a ton of innings) I'd be content. And Garland was exactly that with the Sox.

Trading Hudson was stupid. They just gave up on him too soon. I like Jackson's arm. Check it, I love the arm, but the money taken on was what made is so bad, imo. All we as Sox fans can do is hope that Jackson pans out. Sox said they didn't like Hudson and it looks obvious that whatever judgment they made was too short-sighted. Who knows what might happen going forward, but they wrote a rookie off in a couple games, some of which were pretty darn good ones.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 10, 2010 -> 06:22 PM) No "Cut Throat Challenge" on that list. Big mistake! Its getting real good!!!

One forum for all your off-season baseball discussion. If we don't end up liking it after a couple weeks, I am more than happy to move things back to the way they are. Otherwise, this forum will stay this way until pitchers and catchers report and at that time, the Diamondclub will reopen. If for some reason anyone wants a specific post moved from the Diamondclub let me know because I've made that forum invisible for the time being.

Ya, I'd go with an MLB Pinned catch all, plus the Sox pinned catch all, but any story big enough could be posted within the pale hose forum. I think it is a pretty good idea since we often through out ideas involving tons of players, even though many of them will never directly be associated with the Sox. Just my 2 cents and I am open to either way, but it was a new idea that had popped into my head that I felt might be pretty effective. Especially since the season should kick off with a bang. When pitchers and catchers report, Diamond Club would re-open.
