So still nothing new on why Humber isn't pre-arb next year.

The Giants just didn't want him in Philly or someplace like that.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 11:54 AM) Is there a way to watch live TV through my imac?? For example can I tune into a feed of CNN while I work? Go to http://www.cnn.com/video/ and click on the "Live" button. Only reason it might not work is if you can't play flash or have too slow of a connection.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 09:59 AM) I don't remember Greenland, but it seems like Newfoundland sticks in my mind as being a place that was hit. The 8th deadliest hurricane in Atlantic history was the Newfoundland hurricane of 1775.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 11:49 AM) Is he retiring after this year? There's a reasonable chance that if he doesn't retire, he'd wind up in the boat of no one offering him a major league deal.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 09:25 AM) He looks like Pizza the Hut from Spaceballs That does appear to be some very inconsistent cooking on those ribs.

WTF?

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 05:12 AM) My old man's working in NJ/NY currently, staying right on the Hudson River. He's pretty much going to spend the weekend indoors in the apartment his company are renting by the sounds of it. Hopefully it dies down enough by the time it reaches that area on Sunday. The big issue is going to be flooding from the storm surge if it takes the current track. The Storm Surge is generally proportional to the width of the storm and this one is a big, wide storm. That'll push a lot of water up into the rivers and streams that feed into the ocean. How high above river level are we talking? If it's 10 feet or less, I'd be out of there. If it's several tens of feet above, then you're out of the flood zone.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 08:42 AM) Wow, I can't remember seeing a hurricane that made it that far north and still packed tropical storm-force winds. It still seems to register high winds all the way to Greenland, according to their predictions. That's entirely because the eye forecast takes it right offshore. If it gets onshore a little more that would weaken it a lot.

Last 10 games, Viciedo hitting .333, 2 2b, 4 HR, 4 BB, 5 k's. 1.112 OPS.

Lead em to the Central somehow, Jim.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 09:27 PM) That's so odd. Most sinkerballers get better as they tire, not worse. Probably gets killed onthe complimentary pitches.

QUOTE (WHITESOXRANDY @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 08:51 PM) With the way the Sox draft what difference would it make? Your words make Chris Sale sad.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 07:38 PM) Kenny is already looking for a way to give up next year's number 1 draft pick Again, can only happen if the sox have a better record than this.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 04:52 PM) TheBigLead Jason Mcintyre by SI_JonHeyman absurd. RT @CRM_Stephen: The Dodgers are ‘Evaluating’ Legendary Announcer Vin Scully Wait, that doesn't mean he's having health issues does it?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 03:58 PM) Source for this? Is this smartphones only or all phones? That's just for smartphones. Apple currently has 5% of the total cellphone market share and 20% of the total cellphone profits. Here's a link to a google search on smartphone profits. This one is all over the place. Apple currently takes in 2/3 of Smartphone point of sale profits.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 03:57 PM) Notice that trajectory for Google? Their market share is around 50% now. But they're gaining that market share relative to Blackberries and Microsoft. They haven't put a dent in the iPhone.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 03:53 PM) I don't see there being a chance in hell of that The sad thing is, we could be less talented on paper and a significantly stronger team if the guys we're paying big bucks to perform aren't terrible.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 03:55 PM) scotgregor Scot Gregor by espnchijon More from #WhiteSox GM Kenny Williams on alleged waiver claim of Kubel: "I don't know what the hell you're talking about." I like the superfluous anger rather than the strict denial.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 03:07 PM) I believe it is an extreme point of view because I don't think you can turn biology into an -ism. There are certain things that only men or women can do. It is a biological fact. It would be like saying passing a tall gene on to someone is anti-dwarf. However, it is also a fact that both a man and a woman are currently required for the production of a fertilized embryo, while only one of these 2 sexes is forced biologically to deal with the physiological results.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 02:49 PM) Kubel could be a type A FA no way Sox get him. Hey, if he's type A, at least we wouldn't lose our first round pick next year.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 02:30 PM) Unless they make a unforeseen splash in free agency, I see a bigtime youth movement centered around Span/Mauer/Morneau(if Morneau ever recovers). I really dont know if they are going to be able to give Cuddyer what he wants, which is probably more in the year category than the money category. Now is when that Mauer extension hurts.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 02:20 PM) That isn't really the way that Jerry operates though. The special requests come from Kenny, and not really the other way around. Was resigning Konerko a KW request or a JR request? I got the impression that one came from the Chairman.
