QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 3, 2010 -> 10:20 AM) People won't be able to travel back in time. Only forward. Otherwise we'd see people from the future now. Quiet...you'll give our secret away.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 3, 2010 -> 01:54 PM) Freddy. True, but he left once already.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Oct 2, 2010 -> 08:43 PM) Any system that determines that Deng is worth more wins than Anthony needs some serious tweaks. For comparison, Hollinger had Anthony at 15.5 estimated wins added last year, Deng was at 7.4, Noah was at 7. Basketball reference has 'Melo at 7.9, Deng at 5.9 and Noah at 6.2. Those makes FAR more sense to me (though I would personally split the difference and guess that Anthony is worth around 10 wins subjectively). The question is how you're defining the replacement player.

4 years and 342 days ago...3 guys on this team jumped up and down repeatedly on the Astros field. It's possible that this could be their last time in White Sox gear. Bobby Jenks AJ Pierzysnki And the captain... Paul Konerko Thanks.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 3, 2010 -> 04:55 AM) I think Viciedo is going to be far worse defensively at 1B than Konerko. UZR doesn't do Konerko justice. While you're 100% right his defense isn't going to be there yet...he has a lot of room for rapid improvement. He's a guy who's played 3b...so he's probably going to have good instincts and decent quickness on balls hit hard at him.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 3, 2010 -> 01:07 PM) KW: “We certainly have to get a left-handed hitter in here who can do some damage.” Gonzales twitter Jim Thome Sadly that ship has sailed. Ozzie would just bench him to prove he wasn't wrong. Thome might well get a ring this year and call it quits anyway.

Not a specific comment but worth noting...U.S. to issue travel alert for Americans in Europe.

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Oct 2, 2010 -> 07:33 PM) what about Choo from Cleveland? it's not a "sick" bat, but at least the guy can field, throw, and hit! Would you give up Sale + another big piece or two for him? Let's say Sale + Viciedo + Morel?

Let's just give Denard Robinson the bloody Heisman. Wow.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 2, 2010 -> 06:39 PM) Tie game! Damn that went the other way quick. Last team with the ball wins huh.

Tie game!

QUOTE (zenryan @ Oct 2, 2010 -> 03:55 PM) So who is better? A. Denard Robinson B. Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl At least we got 7 on them. When I was a sophomore they hung a 59-0 shutout on us.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 2, 2010 -> 03:49 PM) Then JJ. The Nuggets shot themselves in the foot by not pulling the trigger on the Nets deal. Pretty sure it's still not enough. JJ plus Gibson plus Deng is necessary just to get the contracts close.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 2, 2010 -> 03:46 PM) Can't say I disagree. I'd go Deng + 2 or 3 picks at this point, because the Nuggets don't have the Nets anymore and the Knicks still can't offer a pick. They have to sell Melo for almost $0.10 on the dollar. Doesn't work, the Bulls need to send along a good chunk of additional funds to match contracts there.

After a set of embarrassments, including foreclosing on homes that they didn't even own conducted through the foreclosure mill companies that have cropped up, Bank of America and GMAC have halted foreclosures in 23 states. Why 23 states you might as? Why, because those are the 23 states that have rules regulating the process. The other states...eh, who cares.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 2, 2010 -> 03:03 PM) Does Rahm think anyone actually likes him? Does Daley?

CNN just fired Rick Sanchez for a nearly-anti-Semitic rant that included both John Stewart and CNN management.

Just don't lose an I.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 2, 2010 -> 09:39 AM) It still does nothing to clear up the investigation. Yes it does. It proves that however it was done...the IP address trace process worked.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 06:37 PM) Is there a link to some information on Blanke? Haven't followed him that much. You can always try his AAP page.

Well, there's another Tony Pena "start...".

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 07:18 PM) I would take out the McGwires and Clemens and replace them with people like Luis Gonzalez and Brady Anderson. Clemens was dominating from the getgo and (presumably) turned to PEDs to keep his career going, McGwire also hit the league with 49 homeruns his rookie year(albeit on a team with a pretty big roid freak). Brady Anderson, Luis Gonzalez, Jose Bautista, those guys truly came out of nowhere to hit 50 homeruns. Canseco also wrote that he was injecting McGwire from the moment he hit the bigs.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 07:07 PM) That offense would be a joke and pretty much the beginning of the end of KW/Ozzie if they put that out on the field. Bah...that's what would happen with no deals and an $85 million salary. That's not an obviosly winning roster, but it's not Seattle this year.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 07:37 PM) Has Crawford ever said anything about loving Chicago or Ozzie or anything? That would be cool. In my memory, Crawford's been about as good of a citizen in Tampa Bay as one could possibly have been with that franchise.
