QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 01:49 PM) That was kind of the point of this thread. If you think of it as 3 superstars against the White Sox, it seems pretty lopsided. Fortunately, baseball is a team game and Chris Sale would be a superstar if he played for a different team. Chris Sale IS a superstar. His body of this work this season speaks for itself, not the name on the front of the jersey.

Johnsons arm worries me.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 08:55 AM) Details. Kenny can be quite the salesman when he wants. Just ask Jake Peavy. Yea but Peavy was getting paid no matter what. If Dempster leaves the NL, and totally gets lit up in the AL, he is affecting his paycheck next season and beyond.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 08:50 AM) Hmmm I wonder who? Now that Boston is out and if LA and the Cubs cant find a common ground.. hmmm... are you guys thinking what im thinking? Braves were said to be pretty aggressive. Dempster doesnt want to leave the NL, and he has veto rights

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 10:07 PM) I agree with the sentiments that it'll be hard to pull off, but if the following happens I can see it succeeding. 1) Thor: DW and Captain America: WS lead into it somewhat. Maybe Captain America through a post credits. 2) Go with some well known actors for the leads. Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans are fantastic actors, but a bigger name is need for GotG. 3) Iron Man 3, Captain America: WS, and Thor: DW all need to have great receptions, so Marvel can ride the wave of popularity. Highly doubtful that Cap is leaving earth. The tie-in will be at thor, and probably nothing else but Avengers 2

DO IT TIGERS. GET RID OF ALL OF YOUR STARTERS BUT VERLANDER

To me, you leave Thornton in to lose or win that game, or you start Reed in the 9th. Reed gave up a bomb, but Thornton made that mess.

One day, managers will realize that you never put in Thornton in the 9th. One day

There is a high probability that GotG is a flop, at least by Marvel standards. At best it will probably be A cult favorite. It is a very strange property, it doesn't relate to earth at all, the characters are very strange and will be hard to adapt to the semi-realism that Marvel is trying to put into the series. Hopefully it is a fun action movie, but it will be difficult.

So what about Barnum

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 12:29 PM) •Agent Scott Boras said Stephen Strasburg the pitcher is worth $30MM per season “in free agent value.” Ostensibly, Boras was commenting on the Nationals’ decision to cap the right-hander’s innings, but it’s interesting to see how Boras values Strasburg. In case you’re wondering, the Nationals control his rights through 2016. So it looks like Boras wants Strasburg in Yankee pinstripes

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 01:54 PM) Seriously? Please go ahead and roll off three random obscure White Sox names. Go ahead. If it will make you feel better, by all means, go ahead. I will defer to the master of that

HOLEEE CRAP THAT TOOK A WHILE

Please refrain from posting here until i move all of the posts. Thank you

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 11:55 AM) The yahoo standings gives you last 10 record if you don't want too count. I was looking for last 18 or 23. Nobody seems to have that

Lets get a nice split before heading to Detroit

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 11:46 AM) Fair enough. For the record, I don't understand why I'm being singled out in keeping this discussion going (for responding to posts) though. Especially when some of those posts included insults directed at me. Being dealt with, now.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 11:45 AM) Weren't you the one that said the Tigers were 7-3 in the last 10, when they'll clearly 8-2, and 9-2 over the last 11? I think that was his point. I miscounted flipping back and forth from the 1st and second half on the ESPN page, i admit that. But Caulfield loves his 11 game game counts

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 11:40 AM) Bring back the Paterno avatar, please. Didn't acknowledge because now you look absolutely foolish for supporting Paterno covering it all up. Really? In the general warning thread we get this?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 11:18 AM) 9-2 I think that's pretty close to being "on fire" They won 6 in a row before that amazing extra inning game against BALT.

Amazing! They are both on fire!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 10:45 AM) Maybe it would be easier if there was a way to block the words Ozzie Guillen and Juan Pierre. In all seriousness, I have a ton of posts in the Marlins thread, some are links and quotes, but many of us share in the blame for the whole Ozzie thing with greg. I also have a lot of posts in Cowley threads as well. In a way, those are like the PHT "train wreck" or industrial chemical spill threads at times that you find yourself wanting not to click on but having a hard time withstanding the urge. Part of it's due to the fact that Ozzie is in town this week and many comparisons are being drawn, some fair, some perhaps unfair. Maybe the other reason is because we're all feeling a bit of tension with the Tigers series coming up this weekend and the trade deadline approaching. We want to believe in this team, we've been waiting for 4 years...but there's a piece or two still missing. And you can pretty much guarantee the Tigers will be even better on paper in two weeks' time. And we're also seeing the "bandwagon effect" too, as more new posters or perhaps some old posters are rediscovering the White Sox again. More voices, more conflicts. This isnt a case of the Mods/Admins singling anyone out or asking for a discussion on the matter or why it is happening. It was happening long before Ozzie came to town, and it has nothing to do with Detroit. Dont couch insults. Dont openly insult. Simple as that.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 11:13 AM) I think I argued the reason why Pierre likely would be an upgrade over Viciedo over the last 2 months successfully despite it being ignored or dismissed out of hand. Its not being ignored, its being argued back, you just dont agree. You feel a 2 month platoon sample size of a declining player having a nice start is a better indicator than his entire career, and pretty much everyone else agrees that Viciedo is still feeling out his way as a power hitting run producer(that still has nice numbers) and would rather not part with Viciedo if Pierre is the end result. We get it you want to upgrade the rotation using Viciedo as the chip. But this board wants no part of Pierre, no matter how you spin his 2 month OBP
