QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 7, 2010 -> 08:05 AM) Is the swapping of 1st round picks with Milwaukee per the Salmons deal protected in any way? I thought I read top 10 protection but I'm not sure. http://www.nba.com/bulls/news/salmons_trade_100218.html

Alice in Wonderland was very cool, I took my daughter and neices and saw it in Imax 3d. At this moment though, all I can think about was how badass the trailer for Tron Legacy was. I can not wait for that movie

Joe Nathan left the game after throwing 20 pitches today, with soreness and tightness in his surgically repaired right elbow.

I dont have a problem with Owens as long as it is 1 year. Its the second year that Owens is anywhere that he starts causing trouble

QUOTE (The Beast @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 01:46 PM) It didn't go. Women are stupid and do not know what the hell they want. I text her to see what time she wanted to go since she had to be on RA duty that night (though she and I still could watch HIMYM together) and she said that "she likes a guy but is scared that he doesn't like him...that she wouldn't be able to give me what I want." In the end, screw it. I might as well just wait to date someone when I'm out of college. Maybe they grow up then and not act like it is high school all over again. And you wonder why people get divorced like they do because they don't know what they want and do stupid s*** when they are young, which continues on and on before they settle down with some schmuck who has money. If that is the way s*** works then what I have to say is the following: See you could of stopped there and left out the song and pity party. I completely second what SS2K5 just said. You are just trying to fit this into a set opinion in your mind and it just doesnt happen that way.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 08:40 AM) That's why I specified lower body issues that are specific to catching. Fisk had knee issues. As I recall, Mauer has had back and wrist issues. Both those effect catching of course, but they'd also be serious detriments, if not more so, at 3B or 1B. That's the point I was making. Moving Mauer makes sense if they think catching, specifically, is causing health issues. Otherwise, at this stage in his career, it doesn't. IIRC Mauer had knee problems the first couple of years he was in the majors edit: http://www.startribune.com/sports/84420522.html

Well, Beast? How did it go?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 07:55 AM) Linebrink had a 2.37 ERA the first half of 2008 then got hurt. He had a 1.93 ERA the first half of 2009 then lost location and confidence. At least it wasn't physical. There is reason to believe he's not as worthless as some are making him out to be. I think he could have a big year. I wouldn't trade him just to free up money that may or may not be used or to give a guy who just became a pitcher a prominent role in the bullpen just because he struck out the side in an early spring training game. Guys like Santos who played winter ball, are going to be way ahead of everyone else early. Be careful what you wish for. Im pretty sure it was posted that his half to half struggles have gone back to his Milwaukee/Padres days. You just cannot trust the guy to have a full good season, and it drives everyone nutty.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 04:49 AM) Last year. Hi, my name is Jay Cutler. Making a trade for a quarterback still on his rookie contract is not the same as dropping 120 million dollars on 3 players. Sure. they extended Cutler, but it is still a reasonable contract. And I am not saying the Bears /McCaskeys have been cheap, Im just saying I cant remember a time that they went out and acted like the Cowboys on the first day of FA signing. the only thing close I can remember is the Ted Washington/Robert Traylor offseason

Happy birthday to 3 of the more unique presences on Soxtalk

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Mar 5, 2010 -> 03:44 PM) We weren't talking about the Packers, Peppers and Kampman. I was sort of but not directly to anybody, more so expressing my displeasure with Green Bay's lack of moves in every off season. I know you werent talking about the Packers. But you are the Packer fan.

Ok ok, lay off the Packer fan (for now)

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 5, 2010 -> 02:48 PM) Flowerwalkway's new swing must be a trick question. HE HAS NO SWING! It would be funnier if I didnt think you were talking about Tyler Flowers

I cant remember a time the Bears got out the company credit card like this

QUOTE (SnB @ Mar 5, 2010 -> 12:34 PM) The wii fit is still hard to find?? I want to get one for my wife for her birthday and am astonished that they're still not readily available. anyone know any places i'll have some luck? Where have you looked? I usually call around my 10 local gamestops to look for stuff, since they seem to be on every damn corner

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 5, 2010 -> 01:47 PM) Well, they tied yesterday. So, does that mean I should create the next one, or someone else? You BETTER not cause another Tie.

Yikes, Nate Burleson for 25 Mil to the Lions, 11 mil guaranteed

Mully is saying that Schefter is reporting Peppers and Taylor are a done deal

I hate CLo even more now

I dont know how many of you have Comcast in chicago, but I have a weird thing I am seeing. When games are considered local (Illinois state, Bradley, sometimes even Evansville) they will be played on Comcast channel 101. Right now if I look at the regular guide, it has nothing. However, if I hit the guide twice to display all of the shows for that particular channel, the MVC tournament is listed as a show coming up. Is the (yuck) play-in game going to be on tonite?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 4, 2010 -> 11:12 AM) It doesn't get more credible than Mike North. Maybe he can help the new NFL team find a trusting financial partner. LMAO, QFT From what I hear, Monsters and Money is somehow infinitely worse than Monsters in the Morning

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 3, 2010 -> 04:06 PM) So, are SoxNet and Joe Cowley on speaking terms now? The air has been cleared.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 4, 2010 -> 09:35 AM) The days of felix sleeping alone in his bed are OVA!! until he eats the last of the peanut butter and puts the empty jar back in the cabinet

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 4, 2010 -> 08:13 AM) Why drag Shipps back into this? I couldnt help myself. He told me about that time he went to the rodeo

Like assless chaps. If you feel confident and comfortable in those, by all means
