QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 3, 2011 -> 08:30 AM) Injury is the big asterisk when it comes to no one wanting AJ. Things could change if someone's starter goes down for a long time. That of course is pretty unlikely to happen during the offseason, and the Sox aren't going to move him during Spring Training or April.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 3, 2011 -> 08:32 AM) Nolan Ryan ranches/d long horn steer for a hobby, and could still throw 95 when he retired at 48. He could have killed Ventura if he really wanted to. I have no doubt about it. 2k5 and I agree. The kid in 23 was going to get whalloped.

Soccer is called football by many people.

How many gms have had that kind of money and not won at least 1 ws?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 2, 2011 -> 08:06 PM) Huh? That killed whatever was left of his political career. Everyone knew about it and it was all over the place. He's also facing charges.

Obviously there will be room.

Maybe the horses are lame, but at least we'll have jello.

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 2, 2011 -> 04:17 PM) Which is why I am thinking it won't take all four to come around, three out of four with a rebound to career averages would win the division (without other implosions). I believe Robin has walked into the ideal situation. Personally, I think it's an "Ideal situation" if Robin happens to be a guy capable of getting through those guys' skulls. Or Manto. Or both. This team can win the Central next year if as many things go right next year as went wrong this year.

Keep the horses ready.

McCourt has now officially agreed to sell them.

I wish I knew how to quit you.

Anybody want to know who's campaign leaked it to Politico?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 2, 2011 -> 03:48 PM) You can't see the difference between my beliefs and what the Yankees want? Seriously? Outside of money, which I will always doubt is actually an issue for the Yankees, Danks is an inferior option in every way. Giving up higher level talent rather than a draft pick, having a guy for 1 year instead of multiple, every performance metric...I have no idea why anyone with a seemingly infinite budget would look at the numbers for the 2, either last season or career, and think Danks is a better fit for that stadium.

QUOTE (G&T @ Nov 2, 2011 -> 03:45 PM) Chick-fil-a is amazing. They also really dislike gay people.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 2, 2011 -> 10:26 AM) This just screams John Danks or Matt Thornton Buster_ESPN Buster Olney NYY figure a lot of their winter work will be in trade discussions, because they've got prospects to deal -- and they will talk pitching. So wait a moment...CJ Wilson would be in trouble going to NYC as a left handed pitcher, but the Yankees will want a piece of Danks? When CJ throws a much better sinker and has a 1.46 groundout/all out ratio while Danks is at 0.99 (making him a slightly fly ball pitcher)? While Danks gives up more HR than CJ and CJ strikes out more batters?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 2, 2011 -> 03:20 PM) I do think Jenkins and Gonzalez are total crap, and I really liked Gonzalez. You also failed to Ted Ginn, who has been a monstrosity of a bust thus far. I think by "pretty good" you mean "talented with some sort of major flaw in their game." To be fair, Gonzalez's flaw has been "Constantly injured".

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 2, 2011 -> 03:10 PM) Wow, they didn't waste any time getting 'Glenn Beck' and 'conservatives' into that story, did they? That's literally the only reason that company exists. Convincing viewers/listeners of conservative shows to dump money into "Collectible" golden assets that have some value while getting the host to rant on about the importance of gold. It's literally a symbiotic relationship.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 2, 2011 -> 03:14 PM) Maybe if the GG awarded best defensive inning of the year. Hell, if he had played the whole year he might have had a shot. Or if his name was Torii.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 2, 2011 -> 03:06 PM) Herb Lawrence RT @Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: #Cardinals have asked permission to interview Ryne Sandberg for managerial opening. #MLB #Phillies #Cubs What would it take from me to make this happen?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 2, 2011 -> 12:12 PM) MF is now trading OTC, it has been as low as 3 cents. Currently at 22 cents Link

Union executive board to meet tomorrow to work on the Union's position and avoid talk of fracturing...still no negotiations scheduled with the owners and players.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 2, 2011 -> 02:15 PM) That doesn't isolate for LH vs RH. And doing so would certainly be quite difficult for me, I'm sure you know that...I'd just argue that at the very worst, CJ Wilson in NY is CJ Wilson in Texas.

What's more embarrassing...the fact that Herman Cain did not know that China developed nuclear weapons 50 years ago...or the fact that a professionally employed reporter, Judy Woodruff, one of the supposed top correspondents in the country...didn't ask the follow up question?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 2, 2011 -> 02:08 PM) For left handed pitchers? Damn straight I do. Plus the whole "no Mike Maddux" thing. I don't know what I can do other than point to the stats. Arlington is giving up 1.25 runs for every run at Yankee stadium. 1.18 HR for every HR at Yankee stadium.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 2, 2011 -> 01:45 PM) I dont like messing with unemployment, there are negative connotations with that for loans, jobs and whatnot. Just start reaching out to recruiters on linkedin. Good Luck. Yeah, right now, a whole lot of recruiters simply toss away applications of people who aren't currently employed.
