Milkman delivers

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 10:54 AM) Unfortunately I still think the Sox have a solid team and the move I pointed out serves two purposes makes the current team stronger and builds for the future. If Jackson wants to come back to Chicago I think there are ways to get it done. I also think there are four guys that know the White Sox budget and none of them write for a living. JR, KW, Hahn and...?

That just shows how much offense colors people's perception of defense. "The past three seasons" are 2009, 2010 and 2011. Quentin has been bad in the field his entire major league career, but he hit well in 2008 so people will think he also played a decent field then.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 11:06 AM) Really? Seriously. It was his usual role, but more of a jerk. That guy has the range of Michael Cera.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 11:19 AM) Samuel L. FTW. That was hilarious.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Jan 18, 2012 -> 11:04 AM) He feels bad about being on the DL 50% of the time in his prime. Maybe Peavy will do the same if he has a good year in 2012.

I'm also less intrigued by Cuban players since I heard that their league is akin to A or AA baseball in America.

Yeah, I'm sticking with my theory that it's no longer that hard to defect from Cuba.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 18, 2012 -> 06:04 PM) This is where I think the financial projections are unrealistic. Adding in the posting fee, he's gonna be about the 4th highest paid pitcher in the whole league. He needs to pitch that well to make it worth it. He needs to be CC/Halladay/Cliff Lee good. If the other pitchers at your salary are worth 6 or 7 wins a year (other than Johan), you need to be that good too. I know he's been good for a while now, but I still have a part of me that does a double-take each time Cliff Lee is mentioned as one of the best pitchers in the game. I can't shake the memories of him being terrible.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 18, 2012 -> 04:30 PM) Should look really good when he's coming out of the bullpen in 3 years. Haha, and I can only hope.

Based God is a catchphrase often used in image macros referring to rap artist Lil B. The overlaid text typically mentions Based God “f***ing b****es”, or say “thank you Based God” with an image of someone crying. Haha, thanks.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 17, 2012 -> 03:21 PM) @scotgregor On his own, Dayan Viciedo has talked with fellow Cubans Yoennis Cespedes and Jorge Soler, trying to sell them on signing with #WhiteSox. I still have yet to figure out your avatar.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 17, 2012 -> 11:17 AM) And I never would have watched it based on those previews. But I'm saying that it was explained on here that the previews were misleading. You have to trust the people on here at least somewhat, right?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 17, 2012 -> 10:25 AM) All of the previews were stuff that happened in the last 15 or 20 minutes of the show, which is a damned shame. The build up was so well done. That's true, but I'm pretty sure that was said over and over on here.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 17, 2012 -> 09:19 AM) Show me a team with a lot of open competition in spring training, and I'll show you a team that sucks. Lillibridge will get his fair share of playing time, maybe a start once or twice a week. He's a good guy to have on a team if an injury happens. And show me a White Sox team that goes into Spring Training already knowing their starters, and I'll show you a team that sucks.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 17, 2012 -> 09:16 AM) The new Planet of the Apes was actually very good. I wish they would have billed it more accurately. If I recall correctly, I told you so But they had to bill it as an action movie, otherwise nobody would see it.

And is it coming across to anyone else like Romney is basically officiating this debate? Earlier he mentioned that time was up for another candidate even though he wasn't even mentioned, and just now he said it's OK for Santorum to take longer than 30 seconds.

It's so disheartening to see Americans just embrace warmongering so openly after what we should have learned from Iraq. It honestly embarrasses me.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 16, 2012 -> 09:06 PM) Daily Dish reader in the live blog thread: I came here just to mention that. And the rest of the candidates are jumping on it. I can't blame them though, as this is the easiest way to get South Carolina residents behind you. Hicks.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jan 16, 2012 -> 06:33 PM) It's on FOX news at 8:00 Thank you.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 16, 2012 -> 04:38 PM) Peavy just could have called Ozzie a loud mouth quitter who is too much of a wimp to reign in his own children. All true.

I'm surprised Felix doesn't care that I implied that he has a small penis

Isn't there a debate tonight? What channel?

It's also been scientifically proven that guys who don't like TBBT have smaller penises.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 16, 2012 -> 02:55 PM) When someone calls you a quitter, that would piss most people off. I can understand that. Ozzie should've just said something true, like he's a broken-down, glass athlete who used to be good. Then Peavy wouldn't have a right to say anything

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jan 16, 2012 -> 02:28 PM) I watched the first half of Bridesmaids last night and haven't been impressed with it so far. It really hasn't been funny and some parts were pretty awkward and hard to watch. I'm looking forward to seeing it, but that makes me less excited. I really don't like awkward humor.
