QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 05:58 PM) Exactly, our team isn't any better yet. Not one bit. If PK stays then yes, we are way better. As of right now, this is as lateral as it gets folks. I hate Dunn but I'm still really excited the team looks different. Nice job KW! Actually...as it stands right now, Dunn and Viciedo would be a 1b/DH platoon, which is substantially better than the 1b/DH platoon of Kotsay and Konerko.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 05:52 PM) Seems meaningless to me still. The Senate won't agree, and they'll eventually vote for a bill in the Senate that extends tax cut for the richest for at least one more year. After which this whole thing will come up again, when Democrats have even less power and the tax cut for the richest will be extended again. Am I wrong? They might be able to get a deal where START gets through the Senate, and possibly an unemployment benefits extension, in exchange for the tax cuts. One can hope.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 05:45 PM) just for some fun, I think the Cubs have 4 years left on the Soriano deal... do they owe him more than 56m on it? THey have $72 million remaining on that deal ($18 million a year).

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 05:42 PM) Paulie already gave us the hometeam discount once, I fully expect him to go to the best situation + paycheck. Really, I think we've been over this...no he didn't, if you take into account the CA, IL, and MD state tax rates. The 3 offers were pretty much identical.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 05:44 PM) True but saying that it's not like things are not back to where they were pre recession though. Neither is the White Sox's team payroll.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 05:42 PM) Will this put an end to the Sox make no money talk?

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 05:40 PM) Bernstein was just running down some of his offensive numbers, somehow I like this deal even more! Dunn hit .169 with 2 outs and RISP last year and hit .146 in the 9th inning with a .486 OPS. (THat's about what I have to do to spin his numbers badly, btw.)

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 05:37 PM) cst_sox cst_sox Getting the feeling that it's going to be a long winter for Sox fans - think "The Kids Can Play II.'' Let's bump that... you're an idiot, Joe Cowley. Adam Dunn is just a big kid.

Maybe I'm a loser, but you're chicken crap.

Frankly, he's probably got a point...this bill is likely DOA in the Senate, and it's probably the exact opposite of what the President told him 2 days ago. Chicken crap...though...

Kiss.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 05:30 PM) Was in the midst of the beginning of a heavy recession. I like my way of saying it better

Horrible? You have no idea.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 05:28 PM) Looks like the money is certainly being thrown around in Free Agency again by the owners. Remember, last time he hit the FA market, the DJIA was under 8000, Citigroup and Bank of America had been bailed out a couple weeks before, and it seemed plausible that credit default swaps would provoke the end of Western Civilization.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 05:25 PM) Doh! PTBNL then. No one really likes doing PTBNL with anything except garbage guys unless they absolutely have to, because if you want a top prospect, you don't want him sitting in another team's organization for a few months. If another team wanted Sale right now, they'd have to take him as a PTBNL (starting in a few days), but then he'd have to pitch in the Sox org until June, and he might hurt himself in that time-frame, or the Sox might not put much effort into coaching him.

Except for the fact taht you're running a marathon on their backs.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 05:23 PM) Hopefully they can package a pitcher with Carlos and Viciedo for a solid right fielder and some draft picks. Wha? Don't you know baseball better than this? Draft picks can't be traded in this league.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 05:15 PM) I would be SHOCKED if they work something out in the next week. Can you elaborate (at least as to why you said the next week)?

Awesome to see you throwing your support behind Mugabe.

Your diet is defined by your race?

QUOTE (kane0730 @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 05:03 PM) While not a base stealer, Dunn isn't considered a base clogger, right? He's not in the AJ, Thome, and Kong class, right? I always thought he was.

Well, now I'm going to be sick.

Really should lay off the deep fried bacon too.

Perhaps that's why you have those cholesterol issues.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 04:40 PM) D-Rose checks in at 19, behind the likes of Chris Bosh and Paul Pierce. That's too low for him. Noah at 32, Boozer at 36. Respect is earned by winning. Not given away.
