Its just a head shaking maneuver. Hall burned them once, and has no history with the company. And this is a panic response(IMO) to Hart. I only wish Hall would no show again, that would be epic

What, we are gonna be surprised that Hogan goes back to the well that made him a lot of money without Vince? As soon as Hogan signed I knew the NWO was coming. I wonder what lame acryonym they come up with

I dont know about you guys, but I was really nervous going into the first game vs Boston, but once they brought out the whoopin stick, I kind of had this feeling of euphoria throughout the rest of the playoffs and world series. It was like it made sense to me that they were supposed to, and were going to win. I cant explain it, but when things happened(like Buehrle saving game 3, Konerkos Grand Slam, Credes GW double, Pods Walkoff) it felt like it was supposed to happen and I wasnt so much surprised as I was elated. Such an awesome season

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Dec 23, 2009 -> 12:19 PM) It must just be the cultural differences that makes me life at this or something... Nah..probably not. How does one "life" at something

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 23, 2009 -> 09:09 AM) I'm still betting the guy we end up with is Eric Hinske, for some reason. I am hoping you are wrong, for good reason.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 23, 2009 -> 07:09 AM) While we're at it, we should also bring back Aaron Rowand or Chris Young. I think the mental ship has finally sailed on these two. Crede and Delgado hang on like barnacles, certain people(elrockinMT Im looking at you) cant let some people go, no matter how physically handicapped

Ha, this thread has devolved into talking about TWO players that wont be Sox in 2010, instead of just one.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Dec 23, 2009 -> 04:01 AM) Redbirds finish up conference play 9-2, next game is next tuesday vs 11-1 Wichita State @ redbird arena. It's going to be real fun. Also tonight's(last nights technically) game was the 300th game for the redbirds at redbird arena. They are 219-81 in those 300 games. That would be NON conference play. Saw this happen last night, it was very upsetting http://deadspin.com/5432666/this-is-not-ho...upposed-to-bend

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 22, 2009 -> 08:58 PM) Except it was the opposite. Deng was open and Rose would have had a tough shot since the defense was crashing, but either way DRose should have taken it. I must have imagined the contested shot that Deng just took. From way too deep for that moment in the game. DRose may of had a tough shot at that moment, but I am getting sick of him deferring.

I turned it off with 14 seconds left when Rose passed up a jumper in the lane to pass to a covered Deng who proceeded to throw up a heavily contested 20 footer which predictably fell short.

QUOTE (Felix @ Dec 22, 2009 -> 08:21 PM) It looks awesomely bad. Pretty typical Nick Cage flick Im pretty sure it is all tongue-in-cheek humor about superheros. Not quite "Superhero Movie", but still sort of poking fun at the genre

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Dec 22, 2009 -> 01:29 PM) Damn. 13 bucks? Can I just go get high & catch a matinee? Its still going to cost 13 bucks if you see it in IMAX 3D, high or not

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Dec 22, 2009 -> 11:08 AM) It pains me to say this, but Santino hasn't been money in quite some time. I love every time Santino gets on the mic. He was the only redeemable moment of the Slammys

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Dec 22, 2009 -> 09:03 AM) They will get a very good pitcher, if it goes through This was the thought the first time the Yankees acquired him. Tell me how that worked out

Santino is money. Every time.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Dec 21, 2009 -> 11:53 PM) From what I watched, he was horrible on the mic. Hell, the whole show has been awful. He was reading off cards for the vids and it was really obvious and bad. Not WWE RAW hosting material for sure

I find it uncomfortable to watch Johnny Damon host RAW. I am embarrassed for him

I dont know how many of you have a Wii and if any of you check out Wii Ware, but I downloaded Bit.trip Beat the other day and I am totally ADDICTED. Its like Pong on acid

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 21, 2009 -> 10:52 AM) I kind of wish we would have tried to sign Polanco instead of getting Teahen, or even instead of getting Juan Pierre. did you see the ridiculous contract that Polanco got from the Phillies? They can have him for that money. Sayonara

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Dec 21, 2009 -> 07:34 AM) Nix actually looked pretty competent at 3b. He was a disaster at SS, but he can play multiple positions. He shouldn't, but he can. I disagree, the only place I saw Nix look competent was 2B. And the point remains, in that setup that he provides, if one domino falls, every other position is covered by a far inferior defender. Ozzie has a lot of options in his current setup and the dropoff isnt nearly as steep

QUOTE (Voros @ Dec 21, 2009 -> 01:01 AM) Okay here's my theoretical 25 man roster (again I was asked): C - Pierzynski C - Erik Kratz (journeyman minor leaguer with a good glove and decent bat - league min) 1B - Konerko/Nick Johnson 2B - Getz/Nix platoon SS - Ramirez/Beckham 3B - Beckham/Ramirez LF - Quentin CF - Rick Ankiel/Rios (Ankiel at about a WAG of around $3 mil/yr) RF - Rios/Ankiel DH - Nick Johnson/Konerko (Johnson at about $6 mil/yr) IF - Nix/Getz IF - Mike McCoy (the Rockies waived him and the Jays claimed him before the White Sox turn, but you could have gotten him before then, league min) OF - Ryan Langerhans (non-tendered by the Mariners on the 12th and then re-signed a week later. Defensive specialist, league minimum or close to it) SP1 - Peavy SP2 - Danks SP3 - Buerhle SP4 - Floyd SP5 - Garcia/Hudson/Torres RP - Jenks RP - Thornton RP - Linebrink RP - Pena RP - Torres/Garcia (if Hudson's not starting I'd prefer him in AAA) RP - R.J. Swindle (minor league lefty killer currently on an NRI for the Rays, league min) RP - Chris Bootcheck or a guy like him (have a sort of open competition with guys like this in ST and see who looks the best. all league min) And I'm under the current amount spent. So if I see a reliever I really like for under $2 million, I can pounce. There's other guys you could go after like Andruw or Gabe Gross who would be useful additions to the team and wouldn't cost much. Freddy Dolsi wasn't a terrible pickup as he's a groundball specialist and they can be useful out of the pen, though I think he's a little hittable. I think this team is better than the current one and doesn't cost any more. I don't think it's a great team, but then that has a lot to do with a poor minor league system and some questionable existing long term big money contracts. The biggest risks (other than maybe Ankiel) are in spots where a flop doesn't really hurt you too bad and you can change courses pretty quickly. A guy like Swindle, despite his clear weaknesses, he throws strikes and lefties just don't seem to hit him at all and therefore should be more than adequate as a back of the pen platoon specialist. To me, little pickups like that are how you put together a bench: cheap with a little bit of potential should things break your way. I see a big problem with your 3B/SS/bench tandem. If (god forbid) Beckham goes down, you are screwed at 3rd, because Ramirez is not sliding over to 3rd to back up Beckham like you have it drawn up, And Nix is not backing him up either as he showed us last year. In the current set up should Teahen go down Beckham can move to 3rd and Nix/Vizquel could cover 2nd, if Ramirez goes down Vizquel could cover for him. A bunch of those no names doesnt necessarily make this team better because they saved money. Bootcheck, Kratz, Langerhans and Ankiel? No thanks

I dont remember Ozzie ever saying he wants Beckham batting 6th, thats just stupid
