QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 08:03 PM) Is there such thing as minor shoulder surgery? If he gets shoulder surgery, is 2013 a lost year for Danks? There are shoulder surgeries that have as little as 3 months recovery time. I almost got one for a more severe injury.

I don't think Hawk knows s***. But yes, Danks = mental midget just like everyone else.

I live in Memphis and I support gay marriage and much of the town does as well. I'm sure many don't, too. The country is split about 50-50, after all. It's like saying a place that votes Republican has no Democrats.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 07:56 PM) Something to consider is if the Sox are keeping the severity of the injury private prior to the deadline in order to avoid giving other teams leverage in trade talks? KW saying he expects him back in early September could just be a big bluff. They wouldn't have let Danks say anything like what he said if that were the case.

Why is it that occasional bad outings is now evidence of being bad mentally? Isn't that just evidence of being bad?

Anyone else find it weird that Danks says that basically if his rehab goes poorly that he would consider surgery not meaning that he's about to get surgery? He even said he was still rehabbing normally. Just because he said that he personally would be okay considering surgery if needed does not mean he is about to get it. Wait till he has a setback in rehab again.

Just remember we played this game without 2 of our 3 regular left handed hitting starters.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 06:59 PM) What the f*** ever dude. This statement is just as bigoted as anything else that's been said. Check your stereotypes in the mirror. This is truth. I'm not terribly fond of the Southern US, but there are many more quality individuals there than anything else. And there is definitely a divine touch to Chick Fil A chicken. If you didn't think you liked it, it's because it tastes so different than any other chicken ever that it shocked your taste buds. It's okay, it happened to me at first too. Put down the KFC bro.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 07:15 PM) This might've been true in 2008. Wow. So (potentially) Pryzbilla, Hinrich, Mohammed, Belinelli and Radmanovic added this offseason. Be afraid NBA. Be very afraid. Jesus. Rose out until at least march. Boozer another year older and more terrible. Rip another year older and a lock to miss at least 25 games. Deng's still got a bum wrist. Welcome back to the days of Eddy Curry, Marcus Fizer, Khalid El Amin and Eddie Robinson, Bulls fans. You've named two players that will be in our regular rotation, and one of them is a mythical "young player" that everybody is pining for. Quit being an e-alarmist and acting like we're going to win 13 games again or something.

Probably trading Dayan for him, have to wait till this game is over /green

That was a tough play, tough to get a throw off and a good throw won't get him anyway

But guys, Gavin sucks and is a mental midget!!

What channel is this on? Why am I blacked out on MLB.tv?

QUOTE (Yoda @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 11:06 AM) Good post. I've been past benching my own weight and am currently working towards benching 100lbs more than that. I'm at 235lbs and I'm sure this week I will get 240 since I felt pretty good doing the former early last week. There's a bench competition they have in the fall at my gym and am hoping if all goes well (no injuries, fall semester courses, etc) I'll be competing. I asked the athletic director to give me last years results and the year before that (which I was a part of) and it seems like it's the same guy coming out on top. An asian guy coming in at 135lbs and benching 245 so its an automatic that I have to bench at least 100lbs or more my own weight. That's awesome man, keep hitting it hard then. I'd say the "guys at the gym" certainly respect you at that weight

Even if Liriano finishes very strong, you have to think he can't get much money as a FA.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:37 PM) Kenny is a mother f***in wizard ^^^ At this point, not firing him was a brilliant move

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:32 PM) Im telling you it will be Bloomquist (Backup SS, 2nd, & OF) & Putz to solidify the pen Wishful thinking or...?

Escobar and Hudson are remarkably similar batters. I think Orlando can replicate what Eduardo has done at the plate. Interested in how we handle the rest. I say we pick up Zobrist as "utility"/full time 2B

Now to get Chase Utley

THIS IS REAL

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 03:11 PM) I was hoping to reverse the creation of that nickname forever. It is terrible. Almost as bad as someone's rendition of the cubs song with the White Sox in the Cubs place in the lyrics. I was going to do that next.

What the f*** would Ichiro do on the White Sox? Maybe it was a salary dump to save us from giving up more players for Felix.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 02:55 PM) Why would you do that? It says explicitly in the title, no nicknames. Why? Because that nickname has done nothing but make Humber bad. If they lose, it's on you/green We must jinx and reverse jinx Humber into oblivion
