Does anyone think/believe Pax is gonna let his testicals drop, and make a move at the deadline?

QUOTE(JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 10:23 PM) God I hope this is for real. If Danks has mastered a cutter, then I really really feel good about him next year. I feel great about him THIS year. I'm a huge fan of Danks and I even have expectations for him this season. To the few Danks fans here.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 09:50 PM) Kenny's face...wow...so much anger... And a few more gray hairs. He's showing his age a bit.

Yet another reason that this site is the s*** right Steve? Any news reported here is by far the quickest.

Miguel Cabrera is in reeeeeeeally good shape. Look out AL pitchers.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 19, 2008 -> 10:07 PM) I miss Steve. One of the better old timers we had around the site. All the best dude, and Happy B-Day!!! Without a doubt. If your lurking, have a good one bro.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 11:55 AM) But then there are those days you just need a Little Caesar or Tombstone. Preach bro. Dominos and Pizza Hut as well. I LOVE Pizza Hut's stuffed crust. (cheese) EDIT: Can't hate on Waldo Cooney's either right Slav?

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 11:24 PM) There is no battle for the opener. My appologies for saying 'battle'. I should have said it more clearly considering both guys are proven. It will be Ozzie's 'decision' on who he wants to see pitch the opener against the Tribe.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 11:21 PM) The freckles dont bother me, then again I am Irish and freckles are part of the territory.

So from reading articles and Oz's comments, it looks like Count is officially going to be our 4th starter to break up the young bucks in the rotation. The battle, as far as the rotation is concerned, is between Buehrle and Vaz for the opener and Danks/Floyd for the 3rd spot (to a lesser extent, mostly between the other two). If Vaz gets it, Floyd is our #3. If Buehrle gets it, Danks gets the 3rd spot. So... (If Vaz is #1) Vazquez Buehrle Floyd Contreras Danks (If Buehrle is #1) Buehrle Vazquez Danks Contreras Floyd I'm gonna hold for the 2nd alternative. (even though Floyd would benefit more from the first one) I expect an improved, and steady Danks. I'm a HUGE fan of his.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 09:43 PM) I read on one of the other Hawks boards that Richmond had emergency surgery to remove his spleen. He is out for the remainder of the season. Yea I saw that too. Isn't that the same surgery Chris Simms had? Hopefully he recovers nicely.

I once whored myself to doin a couple of fat chicks for fifty bucks. I still hold a record from my karate school (Sholin style) for becoming the fastest/youngest to reach brown belt, 3rd Q (1 yr. 8 months (..ish close to two)- 10 [close to 11] yrs. old)

Masset isn't the only reliever who is getting praised.

LOL I saw it earlier. Here's the video. Brett Myers punks Kendrick Myers.. "You just got traded for the hot dog eater!!"

Italian Fiesta. Best pizza ever made on gods green earth. Deep Dish (Lou's especially) is a very close second.

QUOTE(Shadows @ Feb 17, 2008 -> 04:01 PM) You don't have to touch the rim for it to be a dunk, the Superman was a dunk Preach Tru. You know your s***.

D12 singlehandedly brought back the creativity of the dunk contest. I'm glad I saw it yesterday. Just plain sick.

EDIT: Just fresh off the press. Sox pay tribute to NIU

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 16, 2008 -> 05:35 PM) Scraps. Crede is worth very little right now. Correct. But if Joe has a good spring, it could change things especially with Sabean over there. I'm gonna hold out hope for... let's say.. Jonathan Sanchez (SF would rather shop Lowry) who has good stuff and can bring it (95+) and hasn't been given a real chance yet, even though he is better as a starter (only 25 yrs. but still a bit raw, lefties only hit .197 off him last season) Getting him for Crede alone would be excellent. Sanchez

Prayers go out to everyone involved, their families, and every NIU student/staff member.

QUOTE(Shadows @ Feb 14, 2008 -> 09:34 PM) Yessssssssss!!!! Still no failed test eat s*** Bonds haters.. Barry is the man!!

Danks track record (minors and all) show he'll have a bounceback season (11-13 wins, 4.05-4.15 era) and shock others Whitesox will draft Christian Friedrich (ST brass goes who? as usual with our picks) I will be insanely pissed (If Melville is still there, we will shock the world, and there will be lots of happy fans except the ones who wanted Smoak or Hosmer, if still there) Gavin will be sub-par (10-12 wins, 4.70+-4.95 era) Quentin (if they play him enough) will have a monster season (.294-26-98-.878) Broadway (who will have a good spring) will spot start and take over late in the season (Count DL) Richar.. average/above avg. year (.250-.265 15hrs 60-63 rbis .768-.778 ops) Swisher's average will go up like it has every year since he's been in a full season (.275-.282) Fields cuts his K's and BB's more Javy will have a down year.. for his standards (12-14 wins 3.90-4.25 era) Buehrle will make some kind of history. Pierzynski has an awful/below average year batting avg. wise (power/rbis still there 10-13 hrs 35-45 rbis) (Lucy is ugh/eh.. at aaa) Dye/Kong decline HR wise. BOONE has a good season Ehren wins the final BP spot (KW eats crow, trades Masset) Got some others, but I'll stop.
