Arithmetic mean?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 08:40 AM) Another terrific episode of Curb. Might be the best ever. Definitely top 5, IMO.

Adam Dunn as...

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 8, 2011 -> 01:06 AM) Do you guys think there's any way Ozzie returns? I didn't think Walker would still be here many times over, so who knows.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 8, 2011 -> 08:45 AM) Once he passed through waivers his contract was gone and could be renegotiated. FWIW, Meriweather is now the Bears' highest paid safety. Only players with less than 4 years service time go through waivers prior to the trade deadline. After the trade deadline everyone (released) goes through waivers.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) And the player waived has his contract assumed by the claiming team, while the guy who got cut got a whole new contract. QUOTE (Papa Tru @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 11:24 AM) Im pretty sure that either way they pass through waivers.. QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 11:47 AM) If that is the case, it is a little surprising (perhaps a little alarming) that Meriweather wasn't claimed by anyone. . . . hmmm. If a player has acquired 4 years of service time (when cut), they become free agents. Prior to that, they go through waivers.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 04:58 PM) Ok so you know Dunn, Peavy and Rios will not need to show No dunk tank?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 02:32 AM) It is kind of funny how rock bottom for us fans is 2nd place, and a .500 record. When you really think about fans of like the Royals, Pirates, Orioles, Astros, and other such teams have to sit there and be overjoyed with a .500 record and anything above 4th place. Kind of makes me happy to know that during my lifetime at least, the Sox have really had some decent expectations, and as a fan we are used to competitive teams that always finish in the top 3, and have a chance to win almost every year. Just my late-night thoughts. No, don't really care. Are any of those 4 teams running an All-In campaign every commercial break? Remember when the White Sox have to pare payroll next year, to ask yourself if a 2nd place (at best) finish was worth it.

You shouldn't make a huge leap with a bad ankle.

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 04:17 PM) From Jayson Stark's ESPN article: "How many players in the history of the American League have had 100 more strikeouts than hits in a season? Uh, none, of course. And the only guy to do it in any league was Mark Reynolds (211-99) last year in Arizona. So this is a huge September for Dunn -- no matter how much he does (or doesn't) play." Dunn has 157 K's and only 60 hits. I have faith in Adam, he'll get it done.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 01:53 PM) I think it is probable both will be back. Umm, no.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 03:58 PM) I rather see Lillibridge strike out than Dunn. With Dunn, you already know what's going to happen, with Lilly, you don't know. I'm so glad that Ozzie saved me the anxiety.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 12:08 PM) There is no chance they move Vizquel. Why not, if they're trying to get younger?

All in the Family

Ouch.

The beauty of Teahen's tweet was that it was deliberately vague, but obvious who he was referring to. Oney took the bait.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 10:52 AM) well we didn't win the Boston series so maybe the Yankees? QUOTE (T R U @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 11:53 AM) wishful thinking More like

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 11:46 PM) I'd hate to see the porn that BigSqwert likes. A big Peter North fan, I reckon.

Not being called up? Being traded? http://twitter.com/#!/CSNChi_Beatnik/s...008382254825472

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 11:08 AM) He could have traded Dayan for Dunn last year and didn't. Did he get Dunn last year? That's what I'm saying.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 08:09 AM) He's had plenty of chances to trade Dayan. The whole "He's gonna trade Dayan" is just trite. No, I think that it's because if he goes into buy mode, the discussion will begin and end with Viciedo.

HOW HOT IS IT?!?
