Really, that has to be a new low even for this thread.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 25, 2011 -> 01:41 PM) I would think that once a guy seems to be putting it back together witnerss the walks and RBI single and mammoth homer in the last few games then you would leave him in, but I guess not After a long day last night and facing a LHP today I can't complain. It also rests quentins legs and gets lillibridge's 1.000+ OPS in may and improved defense into the lineup.

Probably because they left the air conditioning on assumign they wouldn't be raptured

Let's have the White Sox get to .500.

I'm still angry about basketball and taking it out on this thread.

Go Fail yourself.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 25, 2011 -> 01:21 PM) Correct. Actually, it's starting to get scary how good the Red Sox offense is. Wouldn't surprise me if they cruised the rest of the season and won 96-100 games. This is with a .546 OPS from Carl Crawford too.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 25, 2011 -> 01:18 PM) The interesting part could be who closes tonight if it comes up. Multiple innings out of Santos, could challenge the idea of bringing him back again tonight. It'd be really bad to have to use Sergio again today. Did Crain throw last night?

QUOTE (Bighurt52235 @ May 25, 2011 -> 01:10 PM) Hypothetically, if JR KNEW that giving away $160 million to a collection of ballplayers and coaches would guarantee a championship, he could do it. We just aren't absolutely capped. Now, if you're the Detroit Pistons and you give 90 million to Ben Gordon and Charlie V, then you're f***ed. The difference is...he could really only do that for 1 year, because even in the event of a world series win he'd be losing significant chunks of money on that deal. He'd have to do a Marlins-style selloff or end up in a hole like the Mets.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ May 25, 2011 -> 01:13 PM) That's mind boggling, how do you go from Phil Jackson to Mike Brown? That's like going from a Ferrari to a Hyundai. It seems they want a defensive minded coach who has been a head coach before to try to toughen up that side of their game.

Eventually I was due to beat someone

Don't let African Americans vote either!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 25, 2011 -> 01:07 PM) Not really. Ok, I'm seriously sick of people who have that reaction.

Balta understands now. Only millionaires should get to vote.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 25, 2011 -> 01:03 PM) Will they also requires to wear skirts? Seriously?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 25, 2011 -> 12:55 PM) You are actually making my point for me. They got rid of the cheap guy because it was easy. $3 million guys are easier to move than $12 million guys, just like it is easier to move a guy making $400,000 versus $3 million. But similarly, cheap guys are easy to hold onto if you think they're just underperforming.

There are a couple of now-approved rules changes for the NFL next year, if that happens. There's also supposedly potential for loss of draft picks if a team is a repeat offender.

Different topic...the Lakers are likely to offer their head coaching position to former Cavaliers coach Mike Brown.

Zero % tax rates on millionaires, 60% tax rates on everyone else!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 25, 2011 -> 12:08 PM) He is also the easiest to get rid of. With the guy making a lot of money, he is much harder to trade. Like Tony Pena?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 25, 2011 -> 12:04 PM) It is much easier to get rid of a guy making very little. They probably would have sent him packing quicker. Like we did with Mark Teahen?

BRENT MOREL PLAYING 2 GAMES IN A ROW IS SOCIALISM

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ May 25, 2011 -> 11:46 AM) This. Infante, or somebody, needs to be ready soon. How long will it be before we go back to 5 starters, putting one of the six in the pen? Will it be the beginning of June that was semi-promised? Not too sure, but at that time, Pena's role will be really redundant and unnecessary. Hopefully, that will mark the end of TPain's reign of suck on the Southside. The Problem is...the 2 guys who have pitched themselves into a bullpen stint are Jackson and Danks, not the guy you want to pitch himself there (Humber).

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 25, 2011 -> 11:57 AM) For a team that drafts so damn well, they make some very curious personnel decisions. The Wells and Rios contracts were albatrosses. And somehow, they got out of both of them before they got really bad. Then they signed Batista to a contract that looked risky last offseason...and bang.

Xenophobia, I'm all about it.
