"Well it's not my money," this is why people care when bad contracts are given out because eventually we have to salary dump instead of take on a very good talent.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:59 AM) Give me a break, 90% of us know who Rasmus is. On this board? More than 90 percent, I guarantee that.

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:56 AM) one person mentions colby rasmus and all of the sudden the entire board, most which had little to no idea who Rasmus even WAS goes apes***, lol Really?

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 10:59 PM) Yes, and I bet they would. Only a really dumb organization(hello White Sox) would trade for a player with the intention of re-trading that player with in the week if they didn't already have a deal in place.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 09:54 PM) What do the Jays gain from this if Frasor and Jackson are both Type B. They are taking on a boatload of salary too. Neither team really gains anything. This trade makes 0 sense.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 10:51 PM) Jason Frasor is pretty good. He can help them this year. Not only that, they dump Mark Teahen. I can't believe your boy may make his best trade in a while and you are thinking about tearing down your shrine to him. Probably because it'd be a pure salary dump and a horrendous trade(unless that prospect is legit).

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 10:50 PM) No, I'm saying that if anyone was to know of this going down before it's announced, it's the players involved. Frasor finds out, tells a friend/family member they're coming home...and maybe bucket is that guy. Bucket's been a legit poster on this site and has never posted crap like this before. Fair enough.

Unless this involves Matty being moved for Rasmus...? Who knows, I wont believe this until it's confirmed so I'll just keep on speculating as well.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 09:47 PM) bingo! Are you confirming this?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 10:36 PM) Frasor went to SIU, yes? Ya.

This team is so unlikeable.

This better be a legit prospect

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 06:18 PM) I have a hard time believing Alex would be in the lineup tonight if they had plans of dumping him tomorrow, Correct. If someone was traded from our big club it's EJax or Thornton, no one that's currently still in the lineup.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 07:10 PM) IF he isn't being called up tonight, couldn't that just mean, he's being called up "tomorrow"? I suppose he could be getting dealt, but for what? Him alone isn't exactly going to land us anything that would make this club much better. Throw in for a bigger deal including EJax or Matty? Who knows, all crazy speculation at this point.

Seems really out of the blue to call him up right now. Someone has to be hurt or traded or waived or something I would think.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 11:30 AM) This is getting ugly. Bengals owner Mike Brown finally acknowledged Tuesday that Carson Palmer has retired from football. Palmer would be willing to play if the Bengals traded him, but Brown reiterated that won't happen. "Carson signed a contract, he made a commitment," said Brown. "He gave us his word. ... We expected him to perform here. If he is going to walk away from his commitment we aren’t going to reward him for doing it." It's nice to see Brown finally concede the obvious, but it doesn't mean he's any less stubborn. It's a shame for a player with 2-3 halfway decent seasons left. Palmer was horrendous last year.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 09:52 PM) I predicted this would happen somewhere else. I also thinks it's too soon. I think the WWE did it though because of the support Punk has gotten. I see him losing at SummerSlam. No way Super Cena loses twice to the same wrestler in the same year. Be nice if Punk wins and then changes the belt. QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 09:53 PM) It was his theme song for ROH Did not know that.

We'll take over 1st place sometime in August only to lose the division in September.

They obviously wanted Punk-Cena for Summerslam which is fair but I agree that they're jumping around a bit here with their angles. Happy Punk is back though.

The "I am Drunk" thread is probably more appropriate but since I'm sober now, I'll put it here: Country Thunder is absolute amazingness.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 02:47 PM) When healthy Tony P was a versatile pitcher and effective. But, you could see earlier this year he was hurting. I don't expect him back in 2012 either healthy or nor He was?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 03:38 PM) Suprised you included Richard. Quite the product of the ballpark out there. A 5.30 ERA away from Petco stinks in my book. Ya, Richard is not good. Gio and Huddy on the other hand...

Well there goes 2011, time to think about 2012.

That trailer looked just fine to me.
