Here's our first real Viciedo Pimping article of the year. And I used the word pimping for a reason.

Yesterday, Mitt rMoney won the caucuses in Guam and I believe took all 9 delegates. Today, Rick Santorum appears to be crushing the Kansas caucuses (he was the only one to contest the state) and may take home all 40 delegates.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 04:28 PM) I heard somebody this morning mention Jordan Danks as a 4th outfielder. Not so sure about that, although he would be a good defensive replacement for, well, anyone. I know people have said his swing is still long but hasn't he been hitting acceptably so far this spring?

Deng skips shootaround, likely out tonight.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 03:17 PM) Thanks. Lillibridge overmatched on a high fastball...a little bit far off the plate. Not a single hit for the White Sox since the 4th inning Viciedo knock yesterday. Threatening to be about as boring offensively as last year. Maybe Mitchell will continue to impress, there's that. Well, it isn't unusual for the hitters to be behind the pitchers early in terms of having no timing.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 01:39 PM) Another off-season championship for the Redskins. Does this mean Peyton to Arizona and Flynn to Miami now? Other teams will still be interested, but until some GM decides to press his luck, that appears highly plausible at least.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 12:36 PM) On the online feeds, that's definitely true. On air, I highly doubt it. Supposedly it at least happened on their NYC affiliate. Anyway, now this is spreading to the other radio hosts and their advertisers.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 11:32 AM) Peyton was in the same draft as Ryan Leaf(who went #2). Not sure the other QB's in Vick's draft off the top of my head and I believe Eli was with Rivers (who the Chargers got in the trade, along with other picks), Cutler, etc. Easy to confuse them, because the Chargers also had the #1 pick the year Vick was there but traded that pick to Atlanta for the #5 pick and a 3rd rounder.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 11:22 AM) That is pretty amazing. I guess the conclusion is if you have the 7th pick, don't draft a pitcher. Draft a Tight End.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 11:29 AM) Impressive haul for the Rams. They are in a really good position now. Is their cap situation better this year than it was last year? Genuinely don't know. In a couple years once they've pulled off all these picks then they're set up great.

Well, it'll have been a year tomorrow, so it's a good lookback time. It really is amazing how familiar the story here is. People for political and monetary reasons push hard to develop something that isn't safe or isn't understood, but could possibly be safe if over-regulated. But, every time an inspection finds something wrong or risky or thinks of a new issue, it isn't treated as something that needs to be fixed, it's treated as an attack on the industry itself. So, less regulation winds up being the obvious solution, because it's the only way to have the industry move forward. And then, something goes wrong. Watching a Frontline report I DVR'd on this disaster right now. Already found it amazing that in order to restore power to the monitoring equipment on the day of the disaster, they had to tie together a bunch of car batteries scavenged from whatever vehicles had survived.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 08:49 AM) I'm glad I'm not a redskins fan. that org is so dumb. Even if RG3 is cam newton (which I have my doubts) he's not worth 3 1st rounders and a 2nd. My god. That's more than bears gave up for cutler and he already had a probowl season under his belt Now that the NFL has taken care of the problem with the salary cap hit in the first 10 picks, this kind of move does make more sense. Cutler was approaching his contract extension time, so he took a bigger slice of that. The Redskins also now seem to have the cap room to fill in around RG3, if they choose to do so.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 10:38 PM) Yes please! In other news, the Redskins have a deal with the Rams for the 2nd pick in the draft. The Rams will get the 6th pick, two future 1sts and additional 2nd, per Jay Glazer and Adam Schefter. And Mark Sanchez signs an extension in NY. Take two more teams out of the Manning sweepstakes. Surprised that Shanahan would go with the young QB.

The FDIC hit South Michigan Avenue tonight. New City Bank.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 09:50 PM) Yes. History has already taught us to never forsake the Savior. As long as his teammates have their non-human urine.

Oh Jesus F***ing Christ

I'm sure no one will look back at that midseason surge and wonder if it was enhanced, will they?

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 07:45 PM) Colts cut Dallas Clark, I'd like to see the Bears sign him and forget about re-signing Kellen Davis. The one thing to think about is what do the Bears do if Clark is only around for 10 games?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 06:40 PM) I'd put the Bills as the prohibitive favorites to trade for him, depending upon the price. Elway has never been overly excited about Tim Tebow and they've mentioned several times that they will not conform their offense to his strengths. Ralph Wilson, at the very least, loved Tebow coming out of college and Chan Gailey has had success in the past working with project and athletic QBs. He might sit, or he might be a freshman in college all over again. They do need to address the QB situation for the future because, barring something ridiculous like San Fran did this past year, the Bills simply won't get there with Fitzpatrick under center. Fitzpatrick isn't a solution at QB but Tebow is?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 08:02 PM) Well, we started out 0-4 in the spring of 2007. That was certainly not a positive harbinger of things to come. Let's hope there is no correlation this time. But we won a game...

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 05:14 PM) He will be 100% again. It's a fairly straight forward surgery. They just tack down the labrum and allow it to heal. This is the same surgery TCQ had on his shoulder before th Sox got him. His talent is the question not the health after the surgery. Quentin never really seemed to have the throwing arm with the Sox that he was supposed to have had in Arizona's system though.

QUOTE (Tex @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 04:16 PM) He actually has a track recrod of doing it. Texas weathered the latest downturn better than most states. In no small part because Texas actually had strong regulations of its mortgage industry to prevent the kind of shenanigoats that really hit states that had stronger deregulation.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 01:44 PM) In a Cover 2, a corner needs more tackling ability and doesn't need as much speed as corners playing more man or Cover 3. So what do you think of Finnegan on tackling ability?
