I'm thinking UM pulls the upset as well.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 21, 2007 -> 11:34 PM) Not to be a narc, but I don't buy that -- I don't think I've ever seen a college kid talk about rolling tobacco. Sigh... Not to turn this into something bigger, but why again is smoking marijuana so looked down upon? I know people who roll their own cigarettes, it can be cheaper I believe. Still, in most cases I'm sure that's not the case. Cause it's illegal, that's the only reason.

This team is stupid. Good job Josh though.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 21, 2007 -> 11:53 PM) What's the story on Anderson? What was his injury and how many months did he miss? What'd he hit? Do the Sox have any plans for him at all? If not you think they'd ship him out and give him a chance somewhere else. You never hear the guy's name in talks about the future. I mean he still does exist. What's the verdict on BA and his future with the Sox? He had a wrist injury. There is no future for BA with the Sox. For some reason this organization gave up on him after about 400 at bats. He'll be traded eventually, not sure when but he'll never play another game for the White Sox.

Icons? Heads and I haven't met yet.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 01:39 PM) It's Tom Brady and the Rock, there I solved it. lol. Done and done.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 03:31 PM) That Contreras/Garland for Oswalt and Lidge (and a top spect) deal is going to look quite good in the offseason. Pssh, they better throw in Mr. Pence as well.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 03:11 PM) According to this article, Kevin Everett sat up using his own strength recently, and they expect him to be able to walk again within weeks, not months. Unbelievable.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 03:03 PM) From the link Balta posted... I guess it's a foosball player.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 02:46 PM) It's Papelboner. Seriously though, David Ortiz has been a huge fatass throughout his career. His HGH = boxes of twinkies. I'm not buying that one. If I were to put money on someone, it would be Mike Lowell, what with all of the injuries and the desire to recover from them, etc. I could be wrong about David Ortiz, though. I'm like 90 percent sure at some point Lowell was on something(ok, now I'm speculating). He lost so much freakin mass once he joined Boston.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 12:58 PM) I never heard that HGH could give you blisters. Anyway...suddenly i have this feeling that htis thread will wind up on SI. Ha, I'm not speculating at all, those are just two of my least favorite athletes ever. I despise both of them so much.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 12:53 PM) No. And I don't think it's Schilling, even though that would be just great. Oh man, that'd be fantastic. What about Josh Beckett?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 02:16 AM) If the Phillies get in, the Cubs face the Mets while Philly plays Arizona. If San Diego gets in, the Cubs face Arizona while the Mets face San Diego. Pretty simple really. Of course, Philly winning the East doesn't help much; thus, fathom and willie are hoping the Mets win it and Philly wins the Wild Card. Ya, I'm an idiot. Two plus two is hard.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2007 @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 01:37 AM) Rowand, the Phillies offense would murder the Cubs' pitching staff. Maybe, but the Cubs offense would murder that awful pitching staff of the Phillies. The Cubs would win a series against the Phils in the playoffs(and I think at most the Phils could take one game) but the Cubs wouldn't beat any of the other NL contenders. Obviously that's jmo.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 10:47 PM) I had no idea this guy, in the Linebrink trade, was doing so well. This just pisses me off even more. WHarris...this has the chance to be the worst type of baseball day possible. Cubs win, Sox win, Brewers lose, Az wins, SD loses, Phils lose. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/8076 I have no clue why you would want the Phillies to make the playoffs, that's the one team the Cubs would beat the crap out of in the playoffs.

Would have been funnier if they just punched his face in. Oh well, the guy's a moron, he got what he deserved.

How'd JC's stuff look tonight?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 01:10 PM) But think about your classes. How many are based on the textbook? How many do the tests come directly out of the text? I haven't bought a book in like 2 or 3 semesters now. I guess it depends on the classes.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 11:47 AM) I thought I'd let Ozzie's continued skepticism speak for itself. And I didn't want to make the point that, hey, KC has very little power and one of their more "potent" bats, Alex Gordon, wasn't in the lineup, but I wouldn't want to take anything away from Gavin Floyd. If you take the little he has he goes away with nothing, so he can celebrate the fact that his outing teetered on disaster a hundred times and that he got hit pretty hard by a punchless Royals team. Good for him, though, he reached the "quality start" qualification. That 0 quality start prediction of yours is driving you nuts, isn't it?

The team hasn't had anything on the line but Gavin sure has.

SIU has given Kuric a deadline of this weekend to make up his mind. Interesting...

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 06:36 PM) Is anyone surprised? No but I feel awful for him.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 03:19 PM) Rabbit= Finding someone to take the whole Contreras contract. Williams does that, it makes the off-season so much easier. No doubt.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 03:08 PM) And we are at $95 million right now without signing Joe Crede, correct? For those looking for a new SS, CF, and relievers, it doesn't look good. Get me a new ss and a new cf, but I honestly have no problem going into next season with most of this bullpen back. As crazy as that sounds, it wouldn't bother me one bit to have: Jenks, Thornton, Mac, Wasserman, and Logan all back.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 12:35 PM) Discussing whether or not this team is a contender in 2008 is pointless until about March. We aren't talking about a club that will be almost the same - we're talking about one that will probably have major changes. Right now, this team could literally be a title contender or the worst team in baseball, depending on what happens in the offseason. Get back to this in March, once the dust settles. That. Kenny might need to pull a rabbit out of his hat, but who the heck knows.
