QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 30, 2010 -> 06:57 PM) The Bulls should have a 7 game winning streak going into a tough game against the Hawks. We should.. but then again this team usually plays bad against the sub-par to sucky teams so we'll see.

Our old friend Orlando Cabrera to the Reds. m_sheldon TBrownYahoo http://twitter.com/TBrownYahoo/status/8438885824 Supposedly Jonny Gomes is close to signing a minor league deal with the Reds.

QUOTE (Benchwarmerjim @ Jan 30, 2010 -> 10:10 PM) speaking of the Twins, fans have been kind of abuzz about Liriano's Dominican Winter Ball start the other day. Something like 5 IP, 10 K's. 92-93 MPH FB and his 84-86 MPH slider with wicked movement. That should be for another thread though I told wite to not sleep on that guy and why, but he replied back some non sense I don't even remember. Sure he has to do that when the season comes, but from what I heard and from what a scout told Andrew Marchanes(sp?) he "looks like the Liriano of old." Usually it takes 2 years to really come back from TJ. Well... this will be year 2 for Francisco and I see him being a nice dark horse for you guys this season.

He is one of, if not the best, accurate passing QBs to play the game. I believe he holds a s***load of records in the post season especially in pure accuracy and ratings. Guy is quite a story. From undrafted, to bagging groceries, to playing arena football, to being cut on practice squads, to quarterbacking a team to a super bowl and winning it, to losing his job to Marc Bulger after a s***ty few games, to "should have" lost his job to Matt Leinart but he was too good, to leading that team to a super bowl and another playoff appearance. Not gonna debate first ballot, but the guy is a HOF.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 30, 2010 -> 05:30 PM) For sure, but it wouldn't happen everyday. Rios has to play CF regularly, not RF. If not, it made absolutely no sense to claim him. Agreed 100%. I love his contract value as our everyday CF (not to mention his defense) Hopefully he can have an outstanding year with the bat.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 30, 2010 -> 05:24 PM) They wouldn't be out there together all the time. A game here a game there wouldn't be so bad. The Sox used to have Raines and One Dog next to each other every game for years. They also threw flyballs back to the infield. Come on DA.. can't you just feel the Damon-Pierre-Jones/Kotsay outfield on Sundays (or another day or two out the week) with Ozzie?

Blake, I just realized how much of a rookie you are with relationships... (and drinking even though you don't want to admit it)

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jan 30, 2010 -> 04:11 PM) I agree. I'd bat Damon leadoff and Pierre ninth. But Ozzie would probably bat Pierre leadoff and Damon second. It would still be an improvement over Jones/Kotsay somewhere in the middle. Agreed with you and Kalapse in that regard 100%.

Rose wasn't even his usual self and they pulled that one out (though CP3 being hurt down that OT stretch did help alittle thanks to David West ). Good overall team win.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jan 29, 2010 -> 03:23 PM) love youre avatar, have the plat DVRd just because of stacey kings call. I want Stacey to guest broadcast a sox game with Hawk. "Someone pull Verlander aside and tell him who this kid is" Haha, that should be an epic duel thats for sure.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 29, 2010 -> 02:49 PM) Wow, PECOTA underestimated the Sox every single year for 6 years straight? Well they did get the 2007 prediction right on the money.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 29, 2010 -> 02:42 PM) You hope that he bounces off of somewhere? Shut up.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 29, 2010 -> 02:24 PM) Warner officially retires. Think he's a HOFer? Matt Leinart finally gets his shot!!!.... er.... nevermind.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jan 29, 2010 -> 02:06 PM) Yuniesky sounds super Russian; is that dude from Cuba? Yes and he's probably the most talented cuban of them all. That guy is really special and I hope someday he defects.

Well they are average at their positions. (though Beckham will be/should be very good changing positions to 2B) I wanna see Alexei make that next step though, as he still has some upside left.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) White Palace Grill on Canal and Roosevelt and Lawrence's Fish Market were first choice. Harold's Chicken or Rosie's Gyros worked as well. Fox's thin crust was not me favorite but it's right up there, and the one on Western used to be open late enough for a drunk pizza. Oh hell yes. Great taste you have sir.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 05:20 PM) Weaker bullpen? I have to wonder about the bullpen myself as well depending on Putz' health and Pena pitching to his potential (though I like his arm) not to mention second half Linebrink. And of course theres Randy Williams..... Thornton and even Bobby will be fine. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 07:54 PM) There is no way the division is won with 82 games. Agreed. But ya.. this division is that bad.

Flash is happy.

Very exciting game to watch. Troy Brouwer bringing his AHL game to the NHL.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 04:10 PM) Thank you. You'd think that "he's only a dog", but everyone at home including me has been broken up about it for two days now. Poor innocent thing died and he never knew what happened. He was older but died from injuries resulting from falling down the basement stairs. Damn I'm sorry to hear that Jeremy. As a fellow dog (animal) lover myself, it kills me to see any dog (or animal) die, especially if it wasn't natural causes. My little guys are definitely part of my family no doubt. RIP to the little guy.

QUOTE (Sox72 @ Jan 27, 2010 -> 10:45 PM) ??? Because they don't want to risk losing their site due to copyright laws??? I'm confused. He was giving good and valid advice that should probably be followed. I see you didn't read the second sentence. Though I meant to say "and I don't mean the copyright bulls***" so that's my fault for the mishap. And I know what Rooney is saying, though it's happened sooo much over the years here and we are still here. If anything, we should have been removed since 2006 on alot of crap we've done/pulled (not just this subject). But I'll stay out of this one. Just don't want the internet police on my case. (or anyone changing what has made ST what it is) QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jan 27, 2010 -> 06:18 PM) The legend of the internet attorney tracking down mischievous users posting content is just that, a legend. It has never happened in the past years on this website, and never will. It's no different than someone copying pages from a book, or pasting a copyrighted image. Let's just say it would be known FAR before it reached Soxtalk that ESPN is tracking down those who post their content. You'd see several stories coming up from more well known blogs, message boards where content is posted. Well, I noticed you caved. That's fine. You can still basically summarize everything he says without putting it word for word. Great post.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jan 27, 2010 -> 10:27 PM) Best west coast road trip since the Jordan era? I think I heard CSN say since 2006, but wasn't sure.

QUOTE (Ranger @ Jan 27, 2010 -> 08:31 PM) WSI, for example, routinely removes copyrighted text because of it. There's a reason why they are WSI and we are soxtalk. And I don't just mean the copyright bulls***.
