QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 06:40 AM) don't get me wrong, I'm as big of an Alvarez fan as there is (as witnessed by my avatar)....but right not i'd have to take buster posey from that draft ... So would I.. and I love Alvarez too. (though I know your probably his biggest fan daa)

Quentin.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 11:48 PM) Only because of the fact that there we're a lot of King James' throughout history. I still didn't like it due to the fact he had no rings. I was gonna say... I like the King Felix nickname.

Pierre.

QUOTE (ICP! @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 02:03 PM) We have to do some weeks of counseling until the Pastor will marry us. So I gotta do this s*** every Friday night for the rest of the summer. I might have to add you to my RIP sig.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) I always felt like Greinke would end up on the Braves. They've got the pieces to do it. Don't know how much they want to overpay, but that would be incredible.

I guess someone in the front office was reading a soxtalk thread after I saw Laroche's name.

Bulls really like Asik. I believe he will get every opportunity to win the backup job over Thomas who is 38. If he winds up not playing well/adjusting to the NBA level, Thomas will easily step in and get his minutes. That is what good depth does. Bulls still need another shooter, but this is a very deep team.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 03:22 AM) How many Thomas-es have played for Chicago teams? That should definitely be a sporacle.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 11:55 PM) Sam Smith reporting that Kurt Thomas verbally agreed to sign with the Bulls. Yep. http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/...urt-thomas.html Oh, and Matt Barnes to the Lakers. http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/...tory?id=5403111

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 07:29 PM) Does anybody here like Nicki Minaj (for her actual rapping ability, not her Barbiedoll body)? I know she is annoying to a lot of people but about 10 days ago she started growing on me. QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 08:47 PM) She did a freestyle that I watched somewhere that made me take notice...but other than that, I can't stand her voice enough to give her a legit shot. Ya I never heard of her prior to Luda's new song a couple months ago. (and Usher's new one) Just another trend artist in the game that lacks longevity IMO. Plus a quick google search sees she has fake assets.. (though I still still mess around it )

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 08:31 PM) Tonight's Futurama was great. I wasn't really sold on this season, but now I am. Agreed. Glad I caught most of the new episodes I didn't see. (missed one episode as I was busy screwing around with my new cell phone) Good to see it back.

QUOTE (High Mileage @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 06:01 PM) What this really means is that we'll get to see more Chris Getz. Ned Yost said "Getzy is BIG in my plans", whatever that means. I honestly thought it would finally open the 3B spot up for Gordon. Ah well.

Regardless who NO gets in a Paul deal, unless they are trading Paul straight up for a guy like Rose, Williams or Wall, they are not gonna get equal value for a stud like Chris Paul.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 04:59 PM) We've never seen a true lefty power hitter play 81 games though at PNC Park. You also have to wonder if he'll get better pitches to hit due to the Pirates being out of more games, as opposed to the Braves being a lot more competitive. Not arguing this year, but in his career? I think the Pirates will also be right up here in about four-five years when their guys develop.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 03:52 PM) Stark is a Phillies fan, so he might have a hatred towards Pirates players. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see Alvarez hit for more power in his career than Stanton or Hayward. I would be shocked actually. (even in that park where Jason will probably have a s***load of XBH) Already got a leg up in age and potentially more raw power... idk fathom.

I actually like the top 10, though Torres would not have been near my list. I don't consider him a prospect anymore. I also see someone really likes Jacob as well.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 12:00 AM) Comparing Billy Wagner and Bobby Jenks is like comparing Michael Jordan and Craig Ehlo. In other words.. they shouldn't even be in the discussion. Might as well add Mariano to the list if he happens to blow a rare save soon. (not to mention can.. you know.. get hitters out majority of the time 1-2-3) Then I can back it putting a Todd Jones stats year up.

Anything dealing with the shoulder for any player (pitcher or position player) is not good. But if there is one good thing to take from it, it wasn't his throwing shoulder.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 11:18 PM) Great so long as Jenks is never part of the committee. Ed Walsh FTW.

Yikes. What a terrible year for high picked sox prospects.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 08:57 PM) Wanted to update since I haven't in quite some time... I started at 255 and now and at 228. Thanks to P90X and changing my eating habits! Thanks for the support and motivation. Nicely done EJ! I restarted the Insanity program myself yesterday. Still got to get back to eating better though.. I've been eating unhealthy again, but just working it off.

Doesn't Campbell have a NMC too?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 04:26 PM) So all it took for Beckham to realize that he had an uppercut swing was for some 78 year old to write about how Ichiro doesn't upper cut, so you should be more like him? Sounds a bit corny. Walker read it and thought "OF COURSE!!"

Rios.
