Milkman delivers

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 14, 2009 -> 07:14 PM) The Sox will repeat in the Central, win 93 games. Steve Phillips will be so shocked by this that, he will admit that he was a bad GM. Konerko will hit .300 and have 40 HRs. Owens will hit .280 and steal 50 bases while starting in CF. Fields will win the 3rd base job and hit 30 HRs. Getz will win the 2B job, do decently, but the Sox bring up Beckham in August. Danks passes Buehrle as the ace of the team, wins 19, ERA about 3.50. Buehrle wins 13, ERA around 3.80. Floyd wins 15, ERA around 4.25. Colon wins 12 with an ERA around 4.00. Marquez wins the #5 job, has about 7 wins, ERA around 4.70. How's that for positive and bold, huh? That's the stuff I agree with.

QUOTE (Jimmywins1 @ Feb 14, 2009 -> 12:58 PM) Jon Daniels said that they saw McCarthy as a major league starter on the day the trade was made, whereas he say Danks being 2-3 years away. So, he didn't give up on him. He just thought he needed more time.

QUOTE (wilmot825 @ Feb 14, 2009 -> 12:53 PM) It is very possible but I don't think GMs are afraid to trade away who they think is finished. But if you a get a call from Kenny about a prospect you have about given up on, I think they'll work harder to pan him out now. Seeing how Kenny stole those 3 players, no other team wants that egg on their face now. I don't think the Rangers gave up on Danks.

I watched Do The Right Thing for the first time yesterday. After watching it, I honestly can't see Spike Lee's anger at not being nominated for Best Picture. Also, Danny Aiello was great it in.

Seeing everyone being very confident in Quentin having another incredible year makes me worry that he's going to drop off precipitously or get injured.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 11, 2009 -> 04:58 PM) Maybe witesox fan, but magglio sure hasn't been injured since departing the sox and most people would have bet he was through as well. I hope Fields is great, but right now he is a question mark. And Crede isn't, right?

They know what butters their bread.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 11, 2009 -> 10:07 AM) Supposedly, when Alomar spit in the umpire's face it was in response to the umpire making a comment about his sexuality. There have been rumors about Robby for years. Whether all this is true, I don't know. If he does have the disease, I pray for him. Just from reading the articles, it seems that if he knew he had the disease, she did as well. She seemed to have all his medical visits and info. Probably a money grab. Wow, if that's true, it really makes me hate umpires even more. Many of them obviously feel as though they are above the game, but this is sickening.

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Feb 11, 2009 -> 01:48 PM) I think you misunderstand me. Lying is not a crime in and of itself. G&T makes a good point though - obstructing justice is a crime. It doesn't seem fair however, especially if you're trying to cover for a friend. It's the law. If I cover for a friend and end up getting jail time because of it, it would suck. But, I wouldn't start crying that it's not fair because that is simply the law. Are you an anarchist?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 11, 2009 -> 12:04 PM) The 03 Sox did wind up taking the tests in the end. We don't know exactly what the Union might have said to get them to take the tests, but they certainly did protest by refusing to take them, and I'm almost certain they took them in the end. It wouldn't surprise me if what the Union said to them was "Guys, we're already past the 5% mark, there's going to be testing next year, please take them so this doesn't blow up on everyone." It's really unfortunate that this never got any attention from the national media. Imagine if the Yankees, Red Sox, or Cubs did this? The team would be considered heroes. The White Sox do it, let's not pay attention.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 11, 2009 -> 12:05 PM) Brett Favre retirement #2 starts now. More like #7. Go the f*** away. I used to be a huge Favre fan, but he's such a prima donna that I don't want to ever see him play another game.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 12:07 PM) Haven't seen that yet, it's next on my list, you say it should win, but is it a great film?? It would be nominated any other year, I'd say.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 10:40 PM) Would you be interested in Guillen's page at all or just CQ? Either one.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 08:08 PM) Major League Baseball has expressly prohibited the illegal use of performance enhancing drugs since 1991 but didn't add a punishment for the offense until 2004. Is it okay to break it rule if it has no punishment? I mention this all the time. People either completely forget about that fact, or don't care to recognize it.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 03:10 PM) He admitted to cheating from 2001-2003. You're blind or naive if you actually think that's the only time he took steroids. Oh, it just so happens that he only took steroids in the timeframe in which he was on the Rangers. He's feeding you bulls*** and you're all eating it up.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 02:37 PM) He did it for three years (2001-2003) Watching the interview, he seemed really upset/emotional while talking to Gammons. I've always heard he had a huge conscience, and tried doing the right things, whether that's accurate or not... I don't know, but he looked like he was truly sorry for this You never know though, some people are hard to read I might not be recalling correctly, but isn't this the same guy who was seen taking another woman out to a club while married and also fooling around with Madonna. Conscience my ass.

I'd do this. I'll have to just send cash to someone, though, as I don't have a paypal account and don't want to use my card for this.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 11:11 AM) How would Pujols being implicated change that? RoY in 2001 Touché. Still, it would make them look that much better.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 02:16 AM) Is it not possible to be the best without being great? 'The Reader' should win best picture, but it's not great. Penn or Rourke will win best actor, but neither performance is great......hell, Ledger was better in his role than both. Frost/Nixon should win best picture, but it sure won't.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Feb 8, 2009 -> 03:44 PM) I believe in loyalty is all and I don't waste my energy on bashing Sox players present-past or soon to be past I'll go ahead and stay loyal to the team over the broken-down, has-been player.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 8, 2009 -> 02:52 PM) As much as some despise Crede on here, let me ask you this question: Would you, like me, cringe to see Joe in a Twins uniform playing the Sox 20 times a season? A healthy Joe playing against us? Awful news for the Sox. The guy is a clutch hitter and great fielder. Does not compute.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Feb 8, 2009 -> 12:57 PM) He was and is a gold glove all-star caliber player You are hilarious in your fanboyism.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 8, 2009 -> 02:38 PM) That is the saddest thing I've read on a message board. Do what it takes to win. Does that mean if you are a college fan, you cheat out the ass to win? Pay the players under the table to make sure a Kentucky is always better than a Davidson or Gonzaga? I'm not saying Ky cheats, just citing them as the big school example. Bring out the asterisks and ban anybody who is a known user from the Hall. Baseball doesn't want asterisks but like somebody said this is like the world wide wrestling federation now. The era of steroids has to be noted in the record books. Cheating (taking shortcuts is a nicer way to put it) sucks. -- Did Maggs use? How old are you?

Anyone know of any good do-it-yourself moving companies? Considering price and all.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 8, 2009 -> 01:16 AM) Definitely Vladimir Guerrero and Ichiro....and, as long as Jeter is clean (and he's not a power-based player, although his SLG shot up for awhile), he's first ballot. The question with Guerrero will be his health...if he at least puts up 2,500 hits, I think he'll be in for sure. Piazza is obviously under a huge cloud of suspicion...and there have always been doubts about I-Rod (not defensively, of course...but about his size and power/hitting). Billy Wagner? Don't think so....I think Smoltz is just a notch under Hall of Fame, too. I think Smoltz and/or Mussina will both get in eventually, but the cases are not clear-cut. Another player you don't hear much about is Bagwell (in terms of steroids rumors)...and Biggio will be there. It's hard to imagine, but Roberto Alomar might not make it (the spitting incident with Hirschbeck and the rapid fade to his career at the end), and ten years ago or so, you could argue that he was the best 2nd baseman ever...and have a legit case. Roberto Alomar is the greatest 2B ever, and he will get into the HOF without question.
