QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 26, 2012 -> 11:39 AM) Well, this has been a bit of a chronic problem for him...so injury or not, I do think it is a concern moving forward. Maybe, last year was the first year where it actually affected his power, and he finally got the bone chip surgically removed after the season. I think the only thing to be concerned about Konerko going forward is age. And replacing him with a 34 YO 1B isnt exactly fixing a problem. Man, looking at Laroche's numbers, last year was really a power abberation. He hasnt had a year like that since he was 27

QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Dec 26, 2012 -> 11:17 AM) How much power did PK display from August through the end of last season? Wow, a 2 month span in a period where it was a known fact that PKs wrist was bothering him due to a bone chip. You really proved my point wrong.

QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Dec 26, 2012 -> 09:57 AM) You're absolutely right. PK is a fan favorite, and the Sox aren't gonna spend the money it would take to lock up LaRoche. The Sox do have to start looking for PK's replacement soon. He is 37, yes? Laroche is no spring chicken, he is 34. Replacing PK with a slightly younger, less powerful hitter isnt exactly getting younger and better

QUOTE (PtownSoxfan @ Dec 24, 2012 -> 08:29 PM) He just signed with Boston last week I believe. And regarding Soriano being rep. by Boras, two things, both of which may not matter but I'll bring it up anyway #1- there's the possibility that he wont get as much as he could have had (at least for this season) had he not opted out of his contract with NY, which can tend to sour a player on their current management #2- are there any known issues between Hahn & Boras that would put a definitive no on this? Would Kenny be okay with Hahn dealing with a Boras client? Or is it simply an organizational philosophy that goes from Jerry on down, no Boras client signings under any circumstances? I know that it HAS been the case the last decade, however with Kenny moving up (in title), im curious to know what if any effect that has on dealings with guys like Boras Iirc the issues with boras go all the way to Reinsdorf

QUOTE (PtownSoxfan @ Dec 24, 2012 -> 05:51 PM) I dont see the money being spent or even considered seriously but.. Soriano? Certainly wouldnt be the worst move in the world. Represented by Scott Boras. The end.

Saying Nate is a black hole and not an integral piece doesn't mean I'm throwing my full support behind Hinrich. He has been absolutely awful, there is no mistaking that.

Screen shots of your finals standings in your leagues. I don't believe any of your boasts

Cowboys aren't done

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Dec 23, 2012 -> 02:48 PM) What the boys do doesn't matter because the Bears hold the tie breaker....The Vikings winning could spell the end of Bears playoff chances. If the Pack decide to sit Rodgers I think Minnesota wins again next week and get the last WC spot It does matter, if the cowboys are 10-6 and bears are 9-7 then the tie breaker doesn't matter

I also have problems keeping jobs for being too irresistible

QUOTE (MAX @ Dec 23, 2012 -> 02:39 PM) vikings packers next week, will the packers be playing for anything? Are they in play for the 2 seed?

You are crazy if you think A: Nate is a point guard and B: he is an integral piece

http://m.espn.go.com/mlb/story?storyId=8774649 If a douche act happens and nobody was there to see it, did it really happen?

That's a shame, he had some issues

To quote Ron Burgundy, that escalated quickly

QUOTE (Lillian @ Dec 22, 2012 -> 05:40 PM) I was thinking maybe he could play LF. I know that he's a gold glove first baseman, but have no idea if he could play LF. You really like the idea of putting players in left that have never played the position before

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 22, 2012 -> 05:43 PM) A highly inconsistent guy who on most teams would be an occasional backup but who also can hit a hot streak or two and help win a handful of games, but a guy that you'd hate to rely on for an actual winning team? Especially for the money he's paid, I think that's just fine. I'd rather have him than Hinrich for this couple month stretch, not even counting who's paid more. Again, in your own words, you aren't watching QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 18, 2012 -> 04:40 PM) Honestly, no, I haven't watched a game this year. I will watch a game when Derrick Rose returns. Nate is a black hole. He is stunting Teagues growth, he takes laughably bad shots, rarely plays within the offense, rarely plays defense. He can go away, and I would be just fine with it

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 22, 2012 -> 05:25 PM) I have no issue with what Nate has brought so far this year. You shouldn't say things like this days after you said you haven't been watching games because Rose isn't playing

I admit I was wrong about Marco, he is far exceeding my expectations. I wish we would forget Nate on the side of the road somewhere. Kirk, Nazr and VladRad too

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 22, 2012 -> 01:14 PM) Tricky was a member of Massive Attack early on. Their best album is easily Mezzanine. That is what keeps coming up in rotation for the most part. Love it

QUOTE (MEANS @ Dec 21, 2012 -> 07:28 AM) ever heard of Tricky? Check him out too. I actually saw Tricky live at lollapalooza in 97. His live show was better than his albums that i got. I tried to get into him, just couldnt. On my NIN pandora station, Massive Attack has been coming into the rotation for some reason and I really like what I have been hearing

QUOTE (juddling @ Dec 22, 2012 -> 08:02 AM) AMC is at it again........ Walking Dead loses another showrunner as Glen Mazzara leaves over 'creative differences" Mazzara friend and SOA creater Kurt Sutter had some choice words for AMC....lol AMC really has a complex when they come to their shows. It is quite amazing how they have consistently done this sort of thing with all of their major shows

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Dec 22, 2012 -> 07:27 AM) Left handed power arms out of the bullpne are always in demand. Hell, didn't a 42 year old Arthur Rhodes sign a 4 mill/year contract, it may have even been a 2 year deal, with Texas in 2011? Arthur Rhodes has been a good to elite reliever for 20 years.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Dec 22, 2012 -> 07:10 AM) Markakis got injured late last season. Can't remember details. Got hit by an inside pitch and broke his thumb

http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/knicks/po...of-fight-at-msg I certainly didnt see it that way, it looked like Chandler initiated the headbutt too
