QUOTE (Special K @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 05:12 PM) Don't know if this was mentioned yet, but Quentin was a late scratch because of his knee from the dive yesterday. Let's hope he's ok. And never thought I'd say this, but i'm actually looking forward to Teahen returning w/ the sole hope that Guillen will use him as the left-handed DH instead of Kotsay. Dont count on it, Guillen has a mancrush on Kotsay

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 01:31 PM) I honestly don't see how him batting 3rd would mess up anything. It's not like he has to change his stance or swing. Me and my buddy were debating this exact same point a week ago and I said something very similar to this, and he responded with "Because not only can Rios hit for extra bases, but he can also steal a base in front of Konerko and keep him out of the double play, and give Quentin a chance to drive him in if Konerko cannot do it" It makes sense, i couldnt fault that logic

LBJ just doesnt want to go anywhere or the Cavs are overconfident that LBJ doesnt want to go anywhere. Which is it?

lol, 2nd inning and it is 7-6 Tigers and both starting pitchers are out of the game

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/07/clif...ors-sunday.html Apparently the Cardinals, Yankees, Mets and Twins seem the most interested so far

Im cheering on the Mets in the Cliff Lee race. Get him over there and away from the AL and I am a happy camper

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 5, 2010 -> 08:30 AM) I hope these guys ARE scoreboard watching and ARE checking the standings, you're 1 f***ing game out, play like you want it 100% agreed.

LOL, apparently the Heat beat writer that told everyone to meet Wade at the plane to welcome him in had it all wrong, Wade had already gotten in on a commercial flight and was already elsewhere when these fans were all waiting for him to come off the other plane. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5355523

is it me or is IraHeatBeat a fanboy more than a beat writer? I cannot imagine KC Johnson saying some of the things the IraHeatBeat has been saying

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 11:43 PM) Why spoiler tags? I wouldn't even know how to watch a replay if I tried at this point. The result is all over the internet anyway. I did it because it was literally a minute after the fight ended and I didnt want someone coming into the thread complaining that they hadnt seen the result and they were waiting to watch it blah blah blah. Lesnar really was running after that Carwin uppercut, and I thought that the ref was going to call it a few times, but he hung in there and absorbed some punishment and let Carwin tire himself out. That side triangle was a vice grip, you could see that Carwin had no shot at coming out of that.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 06:57 PM) I never said all those guys (although a few can) can play CF. I listed those guys as RF's with good range and arms. Also, I said don't hold me to the list completely because I was going off of memory. you said there are plenty of players with that skillset, he asked you for your list of said players, and that was the list you came up with even though you doubted a good portion of the players you put on the list. Of course we would hold you to it, it was your point to prove and thats what you came up with.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 06:47 PM) Wed have more money to spend with Lebron, and we wouldnt lose Deng so you'd have to factor that in too. But if Wade and Bosh want to commit you absolutely say yes and forget about Lebron. i dont see this as a negative. i want deng gone

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 03:05 PM) And now Vizquel's playing time is starting to come down. He had the 2nd game of the Royals series off and now the 2nd game of the Texas series. His very good June numbers have now slipped down to .260/.318/.364/.681 and .225/.262/.300/.562 over his last 10 starts. I'm glad we road his hot streak for all it was worth but he's reverting back to his true self and that guy has no business getting everyday player ABs for an AL club. it also helps that Viciedo looks somewhat dangerous in the batters box, and hasnt been exposed as a huge liability at 3rd(yet)

I was reading that M Night completely ignored a lot of source material, and that the acting was atrocious. Sad, this property has quite a cult following, they are gonna be pissed

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 11:31 AM) What if it's Anna Kournikova? I wouldnt want to trust her. Just do other things to her

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 08:55 AM) The last two Aprils when David Ortiz was barely hitting half his weight, do you think Red Sox nation was saying "Oh, its OK, he won us two World Series, go ahead and strike out 3 times a day" Are Braves fans not saying one bad thing about how much Chipper Jones has fallen off? Criticizing a player's current performance doesn't change your overall impression of them. 20 years from now, White Sox fans will talk about how great Paulie was when he was here, how he hit the biggest home run in Sox history, not when he sucked in 07. Dye will be remembered for having some of the best years of his career here and winning the WS MVP. That shouldn't stop people from not wanting him on the 2010 team cause he was the worst hitter in baseball in Aug & Sept. of 2009. If Cal Ripken were to take over as manager of the Orioles, and they were to suck as bad as they do now, what do you think the fans would be saying?? "This is not Cal's fault at all, cause I love him from the past so much. I won't blame him at all" Hell no, they will criticize him for the bad managing decisions he is making. It won't change the fact that he is still their favorite player and will always be a beloved Oriole. White Sox fans want the team to be successful right now, and if they disagree with what the manager is doing, they have the right to say so, no matter who he is. Ripken, Banks, & Williams are all in the Hall of Fame and Santo is a borderline candidate. Stop f***ing comparing them to Crede, Pods, & Garland. I like what you are saying, but this is an effort in futility. He wont stop, just let it go

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 12:58 PM) Ill be honest, Im really skeptical of this figure. Wouldnt part of the settlement agreement be a non-disclosure agreement? At least if I drafted that b**** there would be, and since no one could ever confirm the numbers, we will never really know. A settlement agreement isnt public record, so Im going to say that this number is not accurate. It is probably someone just guessing based on Tigers worth.

so what was the exact bereavement issue? Farmer mentioned something about Jenks wife on a broadcast when it first happened

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 08:50 AM) Looks like we won't ever have a premium, impact bat then, cause thats the going rate these days. yeah, for one player

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 07:08 AM) He's been released by the Rays. I don't think he'll help the the Sox out much. Thoughts? i think you answered your own question

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 01:44 PM) I'm just saying, I think we got a chance. well sure, you mentioned a speculated deal that never happened 6 years ago, and I mentioned two speculated deals that did happen last year. So yeah, same thing

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 01:39 PM) We don't give the media enough credit then for predicting this months in advance. Hey, I heard the Sox were thinking about getting Alfonso Soriano, I mean, it was like 6 years ago, but the media is talking about it, so...... LMAO. Whatever Joe, way to completely miss the point

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 01:32 PM) Yeah, that's because he was actually traded for in May, and then Peavy shot it down. At no point in July did I ever hear anything about Peavy to the White Sox. Was it discussed in the media before he was acquired? Yes. That was the question. it happened. Nowhere in Vance Laws post did he indicate a specific qualifying time frame.
