Milkman delivers

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 10:56 AM) If Curt Hennig was standing directly on top of the New Madrid fault when a 9+ magnitude quake hit, he would not be hurt. Because he is already dead. Then again, unless the ground opened up, would anybody be hurt by an enormous earthquake if they were standing in the middle of a plain or something?

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 02:47 AM) Honky Tonk Man came out today and said if Hogan got an offer from WWE right now he would take it and bail on TNA. Probably BS, but it wouldn't surprise me if Hogan was to do something like that. You can tell the booking under Russo and Sullivan has all gone to s***. The only chance TNA really had was to bring in Paul Heyman to run things and they screwed that up. If I have learned anything about Hogan over the years, it's that he has zero loyalty or class. He'd bail on TNA in a heartbeat.

I see that Chicago is in that earthquake zone for the New Madrid fault, although very far from the main area. Would the damage from a huge earthquake do much to Chicago? And is there any natural disaster that could really ravage this city? I know it's pretty hard for a tornado to touch down in a city, plus we can't be hit by hurricanes, etc.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 13, 2011 -> 12:20 PM) Has he outpitched Infante? I don't know, as I've watched almost nothing this spring. I'm guessing from this post and your post about Morel and Teahen in the other thread that, no, he has not out-pitched Infante.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 13, 2011 -> 12:15 PM) What about Adam Done? If someone butchers his name that badly, I'd probably throw a rock through my monitor at them. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 13, 2011 -> 12:16 PM) In other words, no, Morel hasn't hit good enough. That was my rule for him. He needs to earn the spot. If he struggles through the whole spring, he needs to have a few weeks of hitting well at AAA. I actually wouldn't have a problem with that. It may sound stupid, but I don't want another Brian Anderson situation on our hands where the guy is just handed the job and has done nothing to earn it. Even if it's just a week or two in the minors, at least it will show him that he can't just get away with not performing.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 12, 2011 -> 07:28 PM) Humber looked really damn good this week. All of the other kids like Carter, Jones and Infante looked shaky at best. Coop seems to really like Humber and he shows great composure on the mound. If Cooper really likes him, I have confidence that he will be at least decent for us. I know everyone hates the idea that Cooper can fix anybody. I hate it, too. But from what I can remember, any time he's been really supportive/hopeful of a pitcher, he's turned out pretty well.

His name is Teahen. Teahen. Teahen. Teahen. Teahen. Teahen. Teahen. Teahen. Teahen. Teahen. Teahen. Teahen. Teahen. Teahen. Teahen. Teahen. Teahen. Teahen. Teahen. Other players on the team are: Mark Buehrle Alexei Ramirez Chris Sale

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 13, 2011 -> 10:01 AM) Have the people who were impressed with Lillibridge last season even looked at his minor league numbers? Last year in AAA he put up a .708 OPS in a pretty damn good hitters park. It was his third season in AAA and his overall best year since 2007. I don't care what he did at the major league level for a couple of months, the guy is not and will never be a good offensive player. This is like the Donny Lucy stuff all over again. Every once in a while a garbage player can get lucky in the majors for a period of time. That doesn't make him a good player. Now, Lillibridge may not be a pure garbage player. He's versatile and fast which can be great for a bench, but he doesn't play any of his positions at an elite level. He's a great 26th man if he's down in AAA backing up our backups, but due to his lack of options, that's probably not a possibility anymore. If you can get him through waivers and have him in AAA in the event of an injury then great. But there's absolutely no reason to put him on the major league roster if we're going with a four man bench and already have two infielders. We need a legit fourth outfielder and Millidge is the best guy for that job IMO. Plus he can mash lefties (another need on our bench) and still has the potential to become an everyday player. He's the better option for 2011 and he's the better option in 2012 and beyond when Pierre and Quentin could be gone. I don't see how anyone could honestly prefer Lillibridge over him. I think people are being blinded by a couple of lucky months from Lillibridge. I don't see that being a problem. And yes, Milledge is an absolute perfect fit for this team. It isn't just what he brings to the table (which is more than Lillibridge and is suited better to our needs), but he also compliments Teahen very well with the way each hits well against pitchers from opposite sides of the mound. People want Lillibridge because they have seen him before and believe he's a known commodity. I notice a lot of these people are the same ones who wanted to keep Crede around long after his usefulness went away.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Mar 12, 2011 -> 02:20 PM) I agree that Lillibridge is a valuable utility player. Which proves that knight is wrong QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 12, 2011 -> 10:05 AM) I remember when Terrero had big time power. He did hit one of the longest homers I've seen by a right-handed Sox hitter.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 12, 2011 -> 03:04 PM) 70.2 years for a standard African American, compared to 76 for a caucasian. However, most of that difference is due largely to higher infant mortality rates in the African American population, due in no small part to the lack of available health care in that population. Is that for both men and women? In this case, it should be just men. That would likely lower those numbers by a few years.

I just read that whole article. Damn, the line about him being almost Shakespearean was right on.

I now have the Samsung 4g Galaxy, and this s*** is crazy. I only switched to smart phones at the end of 2010, but now I couldn't go back if I wanted to.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 11, 2011 -> 11:33 PM) It only makes sense that Curt Hennig is dead. YOU'RE dead.

I think it only makes sense to do this at a game.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 11, 2011 -> 12:00 PM) Sale. Thornton has been the best in the league at what he does, let him remain in that role. This.

I also don't care for the NCAA tournament (basketball in general, really). I usually don't even watch a single game unless there's one on at a bar. College sports just do not interest me.

QUOTE (Tex @ Mar 9, 2011 -> 12:41 PM) A lot of people who like, and don't like, Pink Floyd based it on what was played on the radio. Oh, the crap you don't hear on the radio is even worse. I had a roommate in college who played Pink Floyd all the time.

I can't stand Pink Floyd, but I know a lot of people who can't. They're a very polarizing band.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 11:01 PM) The Who gets overlooked a lot it seems, and the Clash are probably the most underrated on that list. Also, Metallica sucks balls, cannot stand them. You can say that again. I was actually surprised they were ranked #3, they usually get disrespected a lot more (Rolling Stone listing them as #29 on the list Soxbadger posted earlier).

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 01:14 PM) You missed it by about three weeks on AMC. They have been rerunning them. Haha I know, we've discussed this. I just want to watch them all in rapid succession on Netflix, but it's taking forever to come out.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 11:36 AM) Its a tourist haven, there are a s***load of things to do there. You'll see when you hit the main strip. They also have killer mini golf. I haven't been there since I was younger, but that is all I can remember about it. Miniature golf as far as the eye can see.

That shows me two things. 1.) The Sox seemingly just always had a better team in front of them (which we all knew) 2.) The Indians have a tradition of being great in the regular season and blowing it in the postseason

When the f*** are they releasing season three of Breaking Bad in the US?

Does anyone else get a lot of bellybutton lint? I have a pretty hairy chest and stomach, so I'm guessing that's the reason, but I clean out the lint every single day in the shower and there's always more. Gross, yes. Just wanted to know if anyone else suffers from this annoyance

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Mar 6, 2011 -> 02:02 PM) Personally I'd hate to see this FORCE us into thinking we need to take him out of the position where he's been the best for us (setup man). I still like Sale as the closer until he proves me wrong. I realize MT has been one of the best setup men now for several years, and could probably be a good closer, but why fix it if it's not broke? I don't think it forces him into the closer role. Six million bucks is a lot for a set-up guy, but it's not absurd.
