I don't mind it. Tons of latin players do this and it doesn't impact them. I just want him to stay out of trouble and be in great baseball shape when the season starts. I don't want him playing all off-season but if he plays for another month to month and a half that is a-ok with me.

Bedard is good when heatlhy, but he's a huge baby and will get a lot more money than I'd want to give him, especially when this club needs to completely over-haul its bullpen and hopefully add a HIGH AVG, HIGH OBP, HIGH SPEED guy to the lineup. I'm perfectly content with Freddy, Huddy and Torres battling it out.

Bengie Molina running the bases. Paul Konerko's inside the parker.

He's a no brainer as a 5th starter. Huddy can get a little more seasoning and be the guy to step in if anyone goes down and than take over from there.

Oh snap, I just remembered, I'll be there too....WOOOOOO.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 10:10 PM) What will Bobby bring us in return? That is the big question, especially since he is having a down season and will be due a lot of money.

Bobby will be gone and aside from Thornton and Pena this is going to be a brand new pen. I'm interested in seeing what Kenny has planned.

Windows 7 sounds legit. Who wants to buy me a nice new laptop? The one I just got at work sucks ass.

Peavy to Make Sox Debut on Saturday By Mario Scalise SoxNet The much-talked about debut of Jake Peavy has arrived. Peavy will start against the Royals Saturday at the Cell. After having his original expected/hoped return date set for late August, there is little debate on whether he's ready to go, because.. MORE

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 02:33 PM) I know it would never happen.....but I think the Big Hurt would make an awesome hitting coach!! He might have been a great player, but he had a very unique approach and really its typically the mediocre guy that had to work at everything that ends up making the great hitting coach. Plus communication is a huge factor on what makes a coach good and Thomas was never known for his communication abilities.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 11:25 AM) You mean Floyd. I wouldn't think you should say it's OK if one guy is in the game but not OK if he's not. Tate is a very good player as well. I mean you are either against the pass there or you aren't. On 1st down Hughes, with Allen out, got stuffed. Doing that two more times doesn't accomplish much, I'd rather not give Michigan the ball back at all if possible. Well duh, being stuffed is better than two incompletes, no one will argue that, but you aren't guaranteed incompletes by throwing the ball. One way you are basically guaranteeing you give them the ball back, the other way you are risking more time on clock vs not giving them the ball back at all quite possibly. I can see coaches doing either, not just hanging it on Weis. FWIW, Herbstreit didn't have a problem with it either. To me the thing people aren't talking about is Armando Allen being out. Hughes isn't going to get you that first down and the way the Defense had been playing I agree with the concept you play to win. I would have liked to see some more high percentage passes on those plays though. I still want to know how ND's TD and the Raiders TD (unrelated) for that matter were over-turned cause both of those replay rulings were horse-s***. Neither play had any sort of obvious evidence that warranted the plays to be over-turned.

I might have to make a trip to DC.

In the most recent White Sox Q&A there was some speculation that Walker might not come back next year. Not that Walker is getting fired, more that he might resign or retire. Just thought it was worthy of news.

There is absolutely no way you'd even get a shot off STeve. None. If he wanted to, you'd be absolutely screwed. And given the call out, I got a feeling he'd also knock your ass out.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Sep 13, 2009 -> 03:18 PM) I honestly wish she would have just injured my balls. It would have been better than that display last night. I know its my fault but that chick knew what to do and say to really break a brother down to nothing. And I know people will say I deserved it but I wasnt playing this situation as bad as it sounds. I just gotta move on now. What makes this worse is these are the first two girls in Shipps entire life that he had dooped into liking him.

By the way, I just want to say well done Lovie. That was a great job in your return as defensive coordinator against a very good Packer offense!!!

I'll love getting Brooks in there. Defense played great though...great. Offense had its problems but I expect things to get better. Cutler wasn't near as bad as some would indicate, especially given the pressure he was seeing all game. It will get better Bear fans, it will!!

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 09:16 AM) According to ESPN, the Bears have contacted Derrick Brooks about joining the team. I wonder if that means they'd put Briggs at MLB and move Brooks to his old weakside spot 'cause I don't think Brooks has enough left in the tank to cover all that area the Mike has to in our defense. But, I think he could still help us out. I'm all for Brooks. I think he'd help us a lot.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 12, 2009 -> 05:03 PM) HE'S-A-FRESH-MEN, CLAP CLAP CLAP-CLAP-CLAP! Brilliant coaching by Wies. Let's run the clock out by throwing 30 yard passes with 3 minutes left and watch them fall incomplete. We will be getting paid for 10 years while doing nothing. Weis cost them that game. Didn't help that we lost Allen and didn't have him available for the last couple plays and lost our stud f***ing WR. Tate really hurt them with some costly drops too. But that isn't an easy game. Michigan is a top 25 team and so is ND.

Nice, Notre Dame comes right back...7-7 in the big house.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Sep 11, 2009 -> 09:21 PM) Getting up at 3:30 AM to tailgate. People waiting in line to get into the student section at 3 PM on Friday. Amazing, I'm not sure where all the excitement is coming from. All to see my Hawkeyes route you guys!!!! Wooo....Stanzi has all the tools, played like s*** in the 1st half (missed so many wide-open guys). Iowa just totally outclassed ISU, although your QB didn't help you guys at all. Wegner looks like a legit true freshman.

I backed the Rios move at the time, but the fact of the matter is he is getting paid a lot of money and needs to step the f*** up next season. If he doesn't, it will turn into a disaster of a move. I know Rios has the ability though and I have faith that he'll get his s*** together.
