He's a Top Tenner for sure. I loved his frisbee. I don't know why all of a sudden, he stopped throwing inside because as soon as he did that, it was over for him. Regardless, a lovable guy. I really hope they gave him a ring in 2005.

Basically, Garland is Batman. Buehrle is Robin. By far one of the most underappreciated players ever.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 09:41 AM) A day game after a night game, and right before a long flight to Oakland is not a bad time to rest a catcher who plays everyday. Yes it is when the backup is Toby Hall. Hell, put Konerko back there, Swisher at 1B, Griffey in CF and let the good times roll.

Bart Colon and David Wells would always stick out in my eyes. Boomer was cool and I was fine with his personality, but the fact that he kept getting injured in a year we were supposed to compete for a title just made me shake my head. Bart was an ok guy, but everyone made it seem like he would be a Cy Young award winner for sure. That's what I was expecting, but to me he was just a solid starter.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 10:30 AM) OC, SS; Griff, CF; Q, LF; Dye, RF; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; Miss, 2B; Uribe, 3B; Hall, C. Broadway pitching. Hall catching with Broadway pitching? I don't know if I like that.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 08:58 AM) They really hate Renteria in DET, almost as much as they have turned on Leyland, Sheffield and Doug Jones. It would be ironic if we replaced one Colombian for another, being that they are the only two players from their country, and they basically had a falling out and hate each other now (wonder if that was also over a call to the box reversing an error on Cabrera and taking away a single from Edgar???) I just read the article. The author reached the obvious conclusion that Ordonez (at 34) is their most marketable/tradeable player at this point...and, also, that if he stays healthy, they will have his $15 million dollar options vest in 2010 and 2011 when his contract takes a turn for the Alphonso Soriano universe (due to Magglio's age and weight/body type/injury issues). They do have to wait until Porcello and Ryan and some of their other pitchers mature. Luckily, Andrew Miller and J. Jurrgens were traded out of the division, so we can still deal with Robertson, Verlander and Bonderman. Maybe the White Sox will take a shot at Kenny Rogers? We passed him (a lot of teams did) in 2003 and then again when he came to DET, and he made remarkable comebacks, although this will undoubtedly be his last. For the Tigers to become competitive again, they really need for Dontrelle Willis to get his head screwed on straight...otherwise, they will have to dump Miguel Cabrera or Ordonez and completely rebuild. I don't see Kenny Rogers coming to the Sox.

Anyone know what Felix Diaz is doing these days? I always liked him for whatever reason.

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 09:51 AM) Jesus, why do people hump his leg so much....why do you think he is such a great pick? What has he done in the MLB and what warrents him being a better pick than Broadway at this point? I think it just might be b/c he has a cool name... Because he actually looks pretty good and doesn't look like a one trick pony.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 08:01 AM) porn star? He has the name of one.

Fatburger looks enormous. I looked up some images, and dang. I wonder why he's opening the first in Orland Park though. That's kind of weird to me, not that I care though since I work a couple of blocks from the location.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 10:22 AM) That doesnt put him in the same boat as someone who leaves a crashed lamborghini on the expressway. And I dont see how that makes him any different from Chad Johnson. I never hear about Johnson being the nicest person in the world when he is threatening to boycott camp for more money and demanding to be traded and shopping himself to other teams while under contract with the Bengals. It doesn't put Urlacher in the same boat, but the way he talks to his baby's mother is pretty god awful too. As far as I know, with Lance, he doesn't threaten them or yell at them in front of the children, he just lies to them. Yeah it's pretty bad, but Urlacher is no better of a man in my eyes. He's a huge douche unless you put money in front of him and if you say hello, the guy treats you as if he knows he's way above you. As far as Chad, he was handling business. It's no different than any other holdout players. In fact, I change that. He held out because he wanted a better chance to win. He wanted to put the Bengals on notice that they need to keep some players or obtain some players to make the playoffs again. Not out of greed for money like Urlacher. QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 10:30 AM) Might want to rethink that. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_...s?urn=nfl,70610 As far as that, I didn't know about it and won't pretend to. That definitely is a douche thing to do though.

CSN Chicago - 1:05pm Start. Get the brooms, and beat the living snot out of the Royals and take their crowns. We're the last World Series Champions from our division so I think we should put the crown on our logo like we're wearing it. I digress, RIP THEIR LOGO OFF THEIR SLEEVES!!

Edgar Renteria anyone? http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic.../808130396/1004

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 05:24 PM) You have to use your bench sometime I prefer we use Getz tomorrow when Quentin is back(supposedly)

Wow, Ozzie's trying to make sure we don't win tonight if he's playing neither Ramirez or Quentin.

Yeah, to me they should leave Ramirez at 2B. He has an above average arm for the position and looks excellent out there. At SS, I think he would have just an okay arm for the position and his numbers offensively wouldn't be what you want from your SS IMHO.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 08:13 AM) Briggs I will give you, Urlacher shouldnt have to have his baby mamma drama posted all over the front page. Thats low grade journalism. Divorces and custody cases arent anyones business but the parties involved, and Urlachers kids mom is quite the glamor hungry gold digger Urlacher is a huge douche. Try meeting him in person. And I'm talking more than once or twice. I'm also not the only person who shares this thought. I'm suprised no one has called him out on the fact that he doesn't tip at all like people do with Pippen. And no, I did not wait his tables. I have some friends that work at Grand Victoria.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 08:51 AM) I'll take Houshmanzadeh over Johnson every week. Spoken like a true Bears GM.

QUOTE (BobDylan @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 09:18 AM) Haha. I promise you, though, in the long run, the PS3 will beat out both the Wii and 360. The PS3 is a horse. Next year there is a game coming out called MAG, it's a 250 player MMO FPS. Now if only they make an MMO RPG... There are some awesome games coming out in the next few months. Socom, COD 5, End War, Ghostbusters, Star Wars, Fallout 3, Resistance 2, Prince of Persia, Tiger Woods, Far Cry 2. They're not all exclusive (I think Socom and Resistance are the only two), but I'm excited to get my game on. COD5 will be garbage. It's being made by the people who made COD3, not COD4.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 10:55 PM) What a douche. Chad Johnson may legally change his last name to "OchoCinco" so he can have it on the back of his jersey. I think "Overrated" would fit better. He's not really overrated at all. He's that good. I don't know why so many people hate on a guy who makes the league fun. He's entertaining. He doesn't go off and get arrested like so many players in the NFL. You never heard him causing trouble or having problems off the field such as Brian Urlacher or Lance Briggs. He goes about his business, works hard and is passionate about the sport he plays.

No Quentin tonight...so what? No excuses. Buehrle & Co. will show, the only beatdowns that occur on the Southside are on the field. RIP EM!!1!

Quentin will be out of tomorrow's game as well, per Ozzie.

Mussina out of a big jam

Twins tied it, dammit!

Twins up 2-1, Gomez stole 2nd, 2 outs.
