QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 6, 2013 -> 08:53 PM) http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...,7371618.column Phil Rogers addresses your point. However, in all fairness, it's easy to say in hindsight we should have traded Danks...it would have looked like we were giving up on the 2012 season. Although we were sort of sending that message when we dumped Sergio Santos. This is the problem with "timing" trades. We didn't deal Crede or Jenks while they still had value, Matt Thornton, now Danks and Floyd join the list of players we kept past their "due date" or shelf life. If anything, we tend to hold on to players TOO long. That loyalty thing. We did it with Jose Contreras. We also got almost nothing back in return for the likes of Jon Garland and Javy (jury's still out on Flowers). This is exactly what I meant a few pages back (and got ripped by a few for it)...but it's the absolute truth.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 2, 2013 -> 09:42 AM) This one hurts because I really felt the Sox should have dealt Floyd this offseason. I've always been a big fan of Floyd's talent, but I feel they could have added a little more to the team with his $9.5 freed up and any prospect they would have brought in would have been worth it. This has ALWAYS been a crux for this team....not knowing when to let players for something in return when they're peak value.

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ May 2, 2013 -> 08:32 AM) Why does everyone have to be a great guy? Whatever great guy means. I would imagine that half the players in baseball are not great guys, but jerks by most standards. Who gives a s***? AJ was awesome and loved by most sox fans, and now that we get to bean him it's hilarious, like tripping your best friend in front of a girl he likes. I wish more people were like AJ and didn't care about hurting someone's feelings so much. I'm all for being nice, but people are too sensitive these days. If that makes me a "meathead" fan, I'll take that over half the nerds on this site that have never played a game in their life. True...and I'd venture to say not one person on here knows AJ personally to say he's an asshole, douche or rotten person. I wish this team had 5 AJ's on it...

hopefully the shirts will look better than what's posted. These look like left over shirts that somebody slapped (in helvetic mind you) #TWTW on it wherever it fit.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Apr 16, 2013 -> 10:21 AM) And it's premature to say he's a bust. Exactly. Regardless...everything else marty said on who to keep or move... I agree with. Almost to the point of everybody but Sale is expendable.

Plus I'm sure Dodger fans will take it out on some poor unsuspecting Padre fans in the parking lot next week...

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 05:15 PM) That was awesome. Yes it was! And btw...f*** Greinke and his 8 weeks out.

Really not getting all the Greinke love and defending...it's actually pretty f***ing nauseating.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 01:02 AM) I'm hearing Zach Greinke has a broken collarbone, holy s***! not sure wtf Greinke was thinking running at Q...what an effin' idiot. How SAD....

Marky Mark Jr...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 22, 2013 -> 01:30 PM) It also has a lot to do with what they think of Brent Morel if you ask me. This was my first thought...

I still see both thumbs...kinda sorta.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 24, 2013 -> 03:41 PM) OH GOD DAMMIT HAHAAHAAA....

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 10, 2013 -> 11:18 AM) They've been in the boat of needing to get something useful back if they traded Floyd because of how their rotation stacks up. Signing a guy like Vazquez could be the insurance that lets them dump Floyd for nothing but cash. There's enough pitching starved teams out there that would give up something decent for Gavin...just doesn't make sense to dump him for cash IMO.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 18, 2013 -> 03:55 PM) From what I've heard and seen of him, he reminds me a lot of David Murphy. Good hitter, not good enough for a corner (either IF or OF) and not good enough defensively to play up the middle. Hopefully he can improve to the point where he can be an everyday starter defensively somewhere. I thought DeMichele did a pretty solid job playing 2B for ASU last year. Anxious to see what he can do at the next level. Sweet stroke...

QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Dec 27, 2012 -> 03:49 PM) DeAza, Ramirez, Flowers and/or Beckham could be #9 hitters. I still have a feeling Kepp will be the 2B and Gordo dealt...

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 22, 2012 -> 12:30 PM) With Arizona signing Cody Ross, it seems like Kubel is the best bet to be this LH bat the Sox acquire. Good call...

Good luck disarming or confiscating the nearly 400M weapons already out there...then we'd pretty much be like inner city Chicago or Detroit! Look...I've stated I'm all for more strict screening for gun purchases and all...but what good would an assault weapon ban do right now without any sort of confiscation? And they aren't even the problem really. I'm all for some gun control/screening...but it's a little too late. Every time something like this happens everybody's up in arms over it...and would it really change anything? It's our culture. The disintegration of the American family has been in place for going on 40 years. High divorce rates, drugs, poverty, violent video games and what I've always complained about for years....the utter CRAP they show in movies and television and claim it's "our right to freedom of speech". That right is ok but our 2nd Amendment right isn't? How can you legislate morality when it comes to what they air on the most influential part of person's life since they were a little kid (TV). But it's ALL THOSE EVIL GUNS fault?!? And they GLORIFY the shooting, killing, violence in movies and tv. How about getting to the root of the problem. This has been in place for years! Personally...I don't want to become England or any other Euro country. Let them deal with their own crap. And again...the United States is the fly in the ointment when it comes to the Global Government that I think everyone is eventually heading towards with our pals at the UN. Disarm us and we're screwed IMO. It's not the guns fault...it's how society has digressed over the past 40 years.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 04:50 PM) I am desensitized, I deal with bad things all the time. Part of reflection is asking what could have be done differently. I just do not like defeatest attitudes. If we as a society believe that less guns would improve society, then 300 million, 100 billion or 1 billion trillion guns should not deter us from trying to reach that goal. But that is the first step in this discussion, do we really want to give up guns? I am willing to. I would rather die myself, than have a weapon I owned be involved in the death of someone else. I am probably not in the majority, I recognize this. But that is where the discussion really needs to start. How many of us would be okay with destroying all civilian guns tomorrow. In my opinion the answer is not the majority. So until then we are stuck with what we have. Which is why in my opinion the best solution is to allow states, cities, etc to create their own rules. If citizens of Chicago are okay with only criminals having guns and are fine with that risk, so be it. If Texas wants to allow rocket launchers, so be it. I do not believe I can change the mind of everyone in America, but I do believe that as American's we should have the right to determine whether we can collectively agree that we do not need to have guns to survive. I've said this forever...about what's aired on television, movies, video games, etc..."You can't legislate morality..."

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 04:34 PM) We're all pissed that so many children died today. I do respect everyone's opinion here, I just wish there was a simple solution. Like making it harder to get guns. I hear ya and feel the same way. Making restrictions is a start...but in all honestly does nothing to the well over 300,000,000 weapons in the United States today. Good luck gathering all those up. But today is more of a day for reflection and prayers to the people and families effected by this horrible event.
