Go Dodgers, get our buddy Jim his ring.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 5, 2009 -> 08:18 PM) Nah, it's totally Jason Giambi's to lose. That one still hurts.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Oct 5, 2009 -> 06:43 PM) I would be interested to know who voted Jeter, and why? I went with Mauer but I could see people making the argument for Jeter considering they did win 103 games.

QUOTE (striker62704 @ Oct 5, 2009 -> 10:55 AM) I love the fact that this is the second year in a row that we have a ROY candidate. When was the last time an organization did that? Dodger maybe (Karros & Piazza)? Dodgers had FIVE rookie of the years in a row during that stretch. Karros-Piazza-Mondesi-Nomo-Hollandsworth. How sick is that? Oakland had back-to-back winners in 04 and 05 (Crosby & Street).

Some broad on MSNBC was claiming that Chicago proposal had significant financial gaps in it, including no explanation on how we'd be able to afford to build the Olympic village.

That was hilarious.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 1, 2009 -> 03:56 PM) I'm really about as 50/50 as possible between Rio and Chicago. I went with Chicago b/c I don't think Obama would be going over there if they thought he'd be coming home empty handed. That's exactly why I think it's in the bag for Chicago. The Obama/Oprah train wouldn't be chugging on over there if they weren't a shoe-in.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 25, 2009 -> 12:56 PM) So now Matt Holliday and Roy Halladay come together to form Matroy Holladay? He'd be today's Babe Ruth then. I'd prefer he be called Ratt Holladay

Royals

I'd take it if I were him. He seems very comfortable in Minnesota.

Twins offer Mauer $120 million. link

George Bell

Anyone else hoping this was Buehrle's last start this season?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 20, 2009 -> 08:42 PM) For all the things Bradley has done this year, they suspend him for actually saying accurate things about their fans and organization. And now he'll be dumped for absolutely nothing in return this winter. Typical Cubs. Whether or not what he said was the truth is irrelevant. The guy gets paid $10 million a year to NOT say stuff like that. If I were his manager I'd have put his damn head through a wall months ago.

It's not just Thomas, Sosa is ahead of Payton, Sayers, Butkus, Bobby Hull and while I'm no fan of his, where's Sandberg?

http://espn.go.com/chicago/story?columnist...&id=4461751 Can't say I agree with some of it. He's got Frank Thomas at 22 and Sosa at 3

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 10, 2009 -> 09:20 AM) If he keeps throwing bullpen sessions and not games we won't see him till next year. If he keeps throwing bullpen sessions we can start calling him Mark Prior.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 29, 2009 -> 09:05 PM) That goofy song they play at the circus. I think we have a winner.

QUOTE (CSF @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 10:57 PM) Ozzie said on the postgame show that Contreras is starting tomorrow.

They also won a claim on Rich Harden. We'll see what happens with that.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 09:38 PM) I'm officially moving on to the Bears as of tomorrow night. I'll still watch Sox games, but I have zero expectations of them making the playoffs. Agreed. Go Afalava!

Jose still remains the only player to force me to close my eyes and say "oh s***, oh s***, oh s***" whenever the ball was grounded to him.

I'm more scared that we actually lost two games at home against the damn Orioles.

I want those 4 hours of my life back!
