QUOTE (almagest @ May 21, 2009 -> 02:20 PM) How do pitchers like Buehrle and 2008 Floyd and Danks and 2005 Contreras and most of our bullpen and so on succeed here, then? Would they all have ERAs below 2 in the NL? Floyd sucked in the NL... Oh wait.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ May 21, 2009 -> 02:18 PM) Like an extra point and a half on his ERA once he leaves Petco and comes to the AL at the cell? Scott Linebrink.. Prime Example

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 21, 2009 -> 02:14 PM) Unless as someone else stated, it's a PR move by Kenny to show the fans he's "trying". If this were a PR move, this is bad PR. I will be pretty pissed when/if Peavy rejects this. This is a f***ing cocktease and whoever let this leak better not be Kenny.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ May 21, 2009 -> 02:11 PM) As i said since page 1, he will not be coming here. Focus on the game, cause the story is a non issue!! That's 1 less vote for your dog nancy

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 21, 2009 -> 02:08 PM) I guess by 2013 we'd be fine anyway, because we'd have Yankee-type cash from back-to-back-to-back World Series titles... f*** it. Go for broke! World Series or bust. enough of this .500 baseball crap.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 21, 2009 -> 02:07 PM) Well, it's not my money. But when you are all b****ing in 2013 that we can't put anything around Peavy... remember this. The Kids Can play II

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 21, 2009 -> 02:04 PM) Classic BearSox. 2013 is f***ing 4 years away. Anything can happen with a pitcher. $22 million would cripple this franchise... even if he plays well. That's f***ing Manny money. If the Sox picked this up, I'd be livid. It's 1 year. I would do it.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 21, 2009 -> 01:47 PM) That s*** got us to re-sign Buehrle! vote for pods. punch AJ!

QUOTE (Brian @ May 21, 2009 -> 01:46 PM) Peavy may or may not accept the deal. rajah.com I have not watched rastling for 10 years, but I know.

QUOTE (dmbjeff @ May 21, 2009 -> 01:44 PM) I think Hawk might wet himself. HE WET

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 21, 2009 -> 01:43 PM) he wont approve the trade. book it he will. book it

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 21, 2009 -> 01:40 PM) I'll say it. If Peavy declines this, he's a big fat stinky smelly p****. poopy?

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ May 21, 2009 -> 01:37 PM) Their are a lot of people who make this mistake in a lot of there posts.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 21, 2009 -> 01:34 PM) It's blowing my mind how many people are typing "except" instead of "accept". It's also driving me insane. I would agree with you, accept, I am willing to except it.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ May 21, 2009 -> 12:28 PM) Dont know if this has been said yet, but whitesox.com say the deal is done and waiting on peavy... that has to mean a deal is in place right??? Padres site too. The official team sites have to hold more weight than a SD paper, right?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 21, 2009 -> 12:25 PM) At times I wish the internet didn't exist.

Me jumping off a bridge might be imminent.

QUOTE (WCSox @ May 21, 2009 -> 12:05 PM) Maddux and Griffey both rejected trades to the Yankees. And that didn't exactly turn the Yankees into a second-tier organization. ok, point taken.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 21, 2009 -> 12:03 PM) Griffey to Sox in 2006? I think he declined in 2005. I wasn't mad at the time though.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ May 21, 2009 -> 12:01 PM) If he doesn't waive his NTC, does this do anything to his reputation? Does he look like a selfish jackass? On the contrary, what would it do to our reputation?

Does anyone know any big names who exercised their no trade clause in the past? I am preparing for a major heart break and don't want to feel alone.
