The Mike Tyson/George Bush movie trailer was better than the Jimmy K workout, as was the Tom Hanks toddler pageant video. Amazing stuff!

Torre killed Broxton last year, as there were a handful of occasions where he left him in for 2 inning saves and by the end of his outing, he was probably throwing 89-90 mph instead of 96-98 mph.

The Eastern Conference NBA Playoffs are going to be amazing. Not just quality basketball, but great storylines as well.

How was the dunk contest rigged? If Griffin doesn't make his 2nd dunk in the first round, then he wouldn't have advanced to the finals.

Boozer with a miserable first quarter offensively and defensively.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 11:10 PM) Bobby Jenks=Charlie Sheen? Minus Denise Richards and a string of prostitutes, but the guy's been enabled by too many others ever since his fastball lit up the scouts' guns and he was a top prospect (then busted) with the Angels. I guess Sheen's worst due to the more varied hardcore drugs he's put into his system, but both are still very much in denial of having problems. I love it, as I always thought Jenks striking out Bagwell in Game 1 of the WS was Wild Thing-esque at the end of Major League.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 09:30 PM) How come when a player leaves after having success here, they feel the need to rip management? Maggs, Frank and now Bobby. I look at guys like Rowand, Thome and Ventura and realize how classy they were after they left. It makes me appreciate the quality of a person as a player a lot more. Ordonez, Thomas, and Jenks were three of the most insecure players to play for the Sox. Lots of stuff going on for those guys off the field....it's as if they were especially paranoid.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 10:26 PM) I still can't believe that Ozzie isn't telling Oney to STFU, and instead seemed to almost be encouraging him to speak in the media. No wonder we keep our own free agents around...they're scared to death of Ozzie writing a book about them if they leave.

I keep reading Jenks' comments, and I really don't think they're that bad. Every other player seems to say that the drama between Ozzie and KW was a distraction, so it's not like that should have set Ozzie off.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 10:21 PM) These public pissing matches have to stop. All they're doing is letting both these guys dig bigger holes for themselves. The only concern I have in any of this really is if Jenks starts going off on the former Sox players and throwing them under the bus for certain things, etc. I don't think anyone ever thought Jenks was 100% sober, etc., so none of this is a shock.

Considering Ozzie said that same thing about Magglio when he left, I hope him and Jenks don't join forces to take down Ozzie

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 08:59 PM) lol @ Bobby's comment about how the White Sox called him just to show the fans that they tried. Outside of a few, I don't think anybody wanted Bobby back, especially for $6 million per. You don't know if that is true Sox fans love Bobby

Wow, Ozzie should have just STFU. Oney did enough damage by calling him out a few months ago, and if Ozzie didn't think Jenks was going to say anything in return, then he's very naive. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Jenks has gone back to some of the bad habits that he was involved with. At this point, I just hope he can live a healthy life.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 07:35 PM) 1st time actually watching Jimmer. The kid is nasty. He's the best player in the country, and it's not even close in my opinion.

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 03:52 AM) OK I'm no expert so this is more of a question, but: does now Peavy become more of a "control" pitcher picking his spots (think: Maddox, or Buehrle) instead of trying to blow away batters with heat? I pray that he doesn't have to rely on that. The results were terrible last season when he was struggling with his velocity.

Wow, did L Deng ever play with some balls!

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 24, 2011 -> 09:23 PM) Awful trade for the Celtics. I don't get how adding a combo 3/4 possibly that won't start and getting rid of a very good defensive C possibly improves that team. Especially since they just made it easier for the Heat to match up with them. Celtics needed a center with the health issues surrounding O'Neal(x2) and Perkins. I hated watching Green on OKC. Definitely seemed like he was determined to shoot no matter what when he got the ball.

It's still crazy to me how much the Bulls shooting guard position this year resembles the rotation DH from last year's Sox team. Will there be a Manny Ramirez out there that's bought out by his team?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 24, 2011 -> 07:52 PM) Id be fine getting rid of Taj and then drafting Jon Leuer I'd have to imagine he'll be a SF in the pros.

Players like Taj are a dime a dozen. Asik has more long-term potential as an actual center, but I have no problem getting rid of 25 yr old, 2nd year Taj.

On the Score this morning, they were saying there's some concern he'll be pitching in the 86-88 mph range. I don't think anyone knows what to expect though, but I'm sure there will be overreactions (yours truly included) come early March after his first start.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 24, 2011 -> 06:41 PM) I disagree, division titles arent won on paper in Spring Training, especially in the NL Central which is weaker than the Ukraine. Stay the course, sign some journeymen and lets see how it starts out. Millwood would be a good signing for them. However, tough to say NL Central is that weak. There's still some excellent players in that division. I'm excited to see the Brewers, but they'll probably be just as frustrating as ever.

Wasn't there also some link to PEDs between Prior and his pitching coach or trainer in the offseason?

Boozer's defense is pathetic

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 24, 2011 -> 01:06 AM) Everyone said the same thing about Ted Lilly and he managed to do alright. That's cause Lilly had a horse shoe up his ass and pitched at Wrigley with the wind blowing in seemingly every game. When he did pitch with wind blowing out there, it was bombs away.
