I hate LoDuca...please keep him away from this organization.

Big 10 games this season have been absolutely pathetic.

QUOTE (kane0730 @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 01:39 AM) Easy to try in February. By the end of Spring Training, even Cub wins in March will be hard to take. Best baseball day ever is a Sox win & a Cubs loss. And hopefully there are many ahead for me. I love your best baseball day!

QUOTE (daa84 @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 01:13 AM) these rumors have me absolutely convinced we will go big in that offseason...we are posturing along with the knicks...Hell we could go after lebron...if we have Rose, money to go after lebron, + 8-10 mil, lebron just might think that this is the best place for him...man that would be sweet They want to go after Bosh or Stoudemire. From a very good source, they don't want Lebron or Wade because they want Rose to have the ball as much as possible.

Soriano really should lead off for them, as he's too much of a mental midget to bat elsewhere. I'm going to try and not take every Cubs game so hard this season if they win, as they have to be about 90 percent likely to win the NL Central. Instead, I'll be rooting for other things that could mess them up over the course of the season.

And please, if you don't care about the Cubs, you don't need to tell us that every week.

I don't get the big deal about all of this...the Outside the Lines about Jenks back in 2004 (I believe) was 10 times worse than the stuff being reported in this book.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Feb 18, 2009 -> 06:38 PM) #1 is obviously the Sox winning the Championship in Game 4, but #2 is the ALDS performance by El Duque with the bases loaded and nobody out. I'll think about it, but I sort of doubt game 163 even makes the top 5 for me. I can't believe I worked that Friday instead of taking the day off to watch Game 3 vs Boston.

1- Konerko's grand slam in Game 2 of WS 2- Game 163 (cause I was in attendance) 3- Uribe's play to end the World Series 4- AJP's homer against Dempster and Cubs in 9th inning (I was lying in a hospital bed after having my appendix removed) 5- Mark Buehrle's relief performance in Game 3 of WS.

Steph takes a great RKO

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 17, 2009 -> 02:45 AM) Does anyone else love Shane? I do....entertaining "performer"

Another thing about Thursday night..ESPN should be ashamed of allowing Digger Phelps to announce an ND game and Bardo an Illinois game. Both of them were extremely obnoxious homers during the game. Phelps was making it a 2 hour debate about how ND should make the tournament.

I hate Nate Robinson so much.

Spain should protest the NBA after this discrimination tonight.

You have to be f***ing kidding me that Howard gets a 50 on that dunk. It's so fixed to get a final of Howard/N-Rob.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 12, 2009 -> 05:21 AM) A lot of reports and interviews say that he is really trying to become a rapper and none of it is a fake. Other reports say it's some kind of movie prank a la Borat, like you mentioned. Who knows? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXpYk7WGN5Y

Anyone see him on Letterman tonight? I've heard rumors that him and Casey Affleck are working on a Borat-esque documentary in which he tries to be a rapper and acts crazy. If that's not true.....he's in worse shape than Roberto Alomar.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 11, 2009 -> 05:45 PM) Not true, really. He makes tons of money and was in great shape, one would think he could get the best medications, etc. However, had he not known, he probably would be in trouble, though people can live with HIV for an extremely long time. He was 17 what? 20 years ago? Magic's had it about that long. However, just because he was raped when he was 17 that doesn't even mean that's when he contracted the disease. He could have contracted it any year since then, since it seems he's not a fan of using protection. But the thing is that he supposedly didn't even know about it until 5 years or so ago. I can't believe the annual physicals that players go through wouldn't have turned up anything until the last 5-6 years. Part of Magic's ability to fight it off was the early diagnosis. Your final statement is exactly right..and that's what I was trying to get across. Wasn't he married to Mary Pierce? If this is all true, I'm just shocked we're hearing about it now and not a few years ago.

A baseball team will allow a company to put their sponsorship logo on their uniform.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 11, 2009 -> 04:41 PM) I would imagine within the circles there have been rumors that he's either bisexual or homosexual. It was more that there was just something big going on behind the scenes with him. It's funny, as his dad is known as one of the biggest scum bags in baseball, while Sandy Jr. is one of the classiest individuals.

Something about this doesn't add up. If Alomar contracted HIV when he was 17, he more than likely would have passed away by now. Also, with the progression of symptoms like the woman was talking about, he likely would have passed away (the mass in the chest is usually the beginning of the end for AIDS patients). As DAllen said above, there's been questions about Alomar's sexuality before, and I hope he doesn't feel the need to cover it up by stating the story about being raped.

Great job by ARod being a stand-up person about this. The Bonds/Clemens stuff is going to scare people into being honest, which is good for everyone involved.

So Chris Brown beat the s*** out of Rhianna? Not a smart move.

QUOTE (G&T @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 02:42 AM) I thought I'd heard his whole family is as big as he is. But then I probably heard that from Hawk... Yep, they're some big boned people. Thome was asked about 5 years ago about PEDs, and he said his PED of choice is bacon.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 02:35 AM) I thought he was on the stuff in his Cleveland days, so I guess it's hypocritical to say I don't think he is on it. However, I guess I am less suspecious of him now because at least as far as I can remember, he's always been that massive. Plus, I'm a sucker in that if somebody is as nice as him, i'm not as suspecious, even though that's bad logic. Thome was a toothpick when he first came up with Cleveland compared to his physique now. Of course, I'm like you, and would like to give the nice guys the benefit of the doubt. On the other hand, we've been burned enough with these baseball players where it's hard to say "they just gained a lot of weight as they got older".
