QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 11:05 AM) I would love to take Matt Murton off their hands. He would make a nice number 2 hitter in the future. I'll take Derrek Lee and we'll find somewhere for him to play. Not only is he a terrific player but you know...he's like the one mentally stable guy in that locker room.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 07:40 AM) It is so funny to see what the different "communities" think. Here we see praise of the Nicholson perfromance and Prince soundtrack, and yet on the comic sites I frequent, those are two of the main complaints. Watching the film recently, I noticed that the Batman run starting with '89 got off to a wrong start. The movie is called "Batman", but it takes almost 20 minutes to even see Bruce Wayne's face. But in that time we have come to know Jack Napier really well. Right from the beginning the villains were most important. That was what Nolan mainly did, that people seem to overlook. He made the film about the man in the cowl. But then again, I can't stand Burton. Just in general with all the comic book movies it seems you'll get completely different reactions from people who actually read the comics and people who didn't. X3 is a good example of that as I know a lot of people say it really didn't follow the comics all that much but I loved that movie.

Good stuff as always, guys. The only thing I'd change is I'd have Gio ranked higher than Fields but that's obviously just a matter of opinion.

tshirthell is is amazing.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 01:26 AM) I love durability, but you've got to be stellar year in and year out if you're making 15-18 million a season. Otherwise, I'll take my chances with a kid or a journeyman making peanuts. I love Mark as much as the next guy, but I just don't believe it's a smart financial move to tie up that much of the payroll in one starter unless he's an ace. Mark is a great pitcher, but an ace he probably will never be. He's not an ace(please no Kalapse references), but besides last year he's been good every year of his career, he's about as reliable of a starter is you're going to find. I hope the Sox do as much as possible to lock him up.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 10:46 PM) He'll be a free agent. Any biters? Just throwing it out there. It'll be Crede or Fields.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 08:38 PM) I checked in, the game was in delay after 2.5 innings. I suppose they didn't update the box score to indicate that Gio had gotten an out in the 3rd. He's 100% fine. That's a relief.

As unsure as I am about Gio, trading him right now is just an awful idea.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 12:20 PM) It's still a bad deal. Rowand is a free agent. The Sox aren't winning anything this year. I have no problem with Rowand coming back in '08, but if we're going to trade anything from our major league roster (or from the minors for that matter) it better improve the club long-term, not put a band-aid on where a tourniquet is needed. Agreed.

Be patient. One hour when basically no admins are on isn't going to do the trick.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 10:57 AM) LOL. Only 4 months till Fay hits the hardwood, all will be forgotten by then Can't wait. In the meantime, I get to see Jamaal Foster all the time cause he's working at the rec.

QUOTE(Shadows @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 10:53 AM) only because Willie > Rowand Pssh QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 10:54 AM) You and some others. It was just an example, dont take it to heart my Saluki brethren That's why it hurts so bad.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 10:53 AM) Fields would probably be hitting about .150, striking out 35-40% of the time, and not fielding nearly as well as Joe. I'm not sure if I agree with those numbers but I tend to agree with you that he'd struggle big time. Still, I'm all for him getting his shot right now.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 10:52 AM) WHarris1 maintained his "gimmick" after Willie left the team. I wouldnt worry about it I've been left out.

Loved batman begins, I'll definitely be looking forward to this one.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 09:16 AM) seriously at this point im shipping out Joe Crede and seeing if our spects are the real deal and can help us moving forward. Is there really any doubt that Fields could come up and hit 210-230? Who knows, but at this point, I'm definitely not against trying something new. And Fields seems to be the best bet right now.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 09:00 AM) My sig says it all. *sigh* Those are some pretty impressive stats.

I just got done re-watching the scientology version of South Park. That was some good stuff.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 06:21 AM) Anyone notice the final score of the Cubs game yesterday without Pinella around? It might be coincidence, but it really seems to me like the problem isn't Zambrano or Barrett in that clubhouse, its Pinella. I think it probably has to due with all 3 of them. Too many maniacs in one locker room.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 01:34 AM) Most vague/wrong sentence ever. Are you saying mlbers swing and miss 2/3 of the time? Certainly not correct. Are you saying mlbers only hit for a .333 average on first pitch, absolutely center cut thigh high fastballs? Also terribly wrong. I love it when you analyze.

QUOTE(lord chas @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 12:56 AM) i dont think donovan actually signed yet Conflicting stories on whether he really did or didn't.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 12:58 AM) Nothing quite beats getting really s*** faced with relatives. Honestly, I'm not lying here. You're from South Dakota(or maybe North), so you don't count either.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 09:34 PM) I was out at my uncle's farm. My aunt and uncle had been drinking. So says my aunt, she says "Alex! We're getting you s***faced tonight!" She made me a bunch of screwdrivers. s***faced with you're aunt and uncle, ya...definitely Iowa. Anywho, my summer is about to get a lot more interesting... QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 11:30 AM) I just received word that my cousin's 20-year-old son was killed in a traffic wreck (from what I understand he was riding a motorcycle) in Tinley yesterday afternoon. My great-aunt is going to my great-aunt and uncle's house this afternoon to tell them their grandson is dead. My heart is broken for my cousin, her husband, surviving kids, my great-aunt and uncle and the rest of the family. RIP. Blah, sorry to hear that, queen.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 10:58 AM) The "tallest midget" has won 2 of the last 3 years. Those teams were much better than this Cavs team. Sorry, I just don't see Cleveland having any chance in this series, Spurs in 5, 6 tops.
