Wow. You would think an ESPN gig would get you a little more of a selection

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 09:49 PM) I just don't see Liney bringing anything of value. Why not dump his salary for a hack (reclamatiion project) hopefully for less money. I really don't get why baseball teams overpay these middle reliever guys (Farnsworth, Dotel, Liney, etc.) Just because you dont value a player on your team, you dont actively try and pawn him off as trash, for trash. You want to maximize his value, whatever value it is. Sometimes other teams desperately need middle relievers(like the brewers) and will overpay for these types, and guess what, you dont have to ask for their trash back becayse of their team needs.

QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 21, 2009 -> 07:16 AM) There is an wrong assumption here that being married will somehow stop someone from being a pedophile. Pedophiles and child molesters want access to children. They take jobs as coaches, teachers, janitors in schools, volunteer with youth groups, and yes, become clergy. No matter what their vocation, it is very unfair to rip others who share that vocation or the many people involved in those organizations. There are very few things I can't find a laugh at, but the abuse of children is one of them. The group that should be scorned is pedophiles and abusers, not coaches, teachers, clergy, etc. Tex, i just dont know where you are going and where you are coming from sometimes.

http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/video-marian...l-in-alcs-26566 So people are freaking out that Rivera is spitting on baseballs(as the video seems to show) But honestly, how many times is Rivera going to throw the ball he just spit on(if he really spit on the ball)? He will get maybe 1-7 throws on that ball before it is fouled away/discarded/replaced. So is Rivera spitting on every ball that he gets? Wouldnt that get noticed just a bit? Methinks that Rivera got caught in an angle where it looked like he spat on the ball, but he didnt, and this is being way overblown

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 01:16 PM) Pay no attention to the post before the edit. I was gonna let morncic slide, but once I saw Mark Love I had to comment

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 01:07 PM) The USS Mariner is one of the best sites out there, but this idea is just mornic. That being said, Mark Love is a solid buy. Just not for our future #2 starter. r yu drnk?

It bothers me to know that as soon as the Sox have a stellar rotation 1-4, and a Good-Great rotation 1-5, everyone is looking to take it apart before watching it work.

Is this the same guy who wanted us to give away Carlos Quentin?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 09:26 AM) It means it is all downhill for like 5 or 6 months. Winter aint so bad. Especially when you move and your work commute changes from a half hour on major roads to 5 minutes on one backroad......

QUOTE (The Critic @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 08:40 AM) Yeah, they've wanted to turn DiBiase face for a while now. I don't know if he can carry a push by himself. I thought Legacy was/is a good vehicle for all three of them. It gave a couple nondescript wrestlers in Rhodes and DiBiase a good storyline, it boosted the tag team scene, and it helped the image of Orton as a guy with a lot of bravado who still needed guys to help him. Once again, WWE is just taking the tag team idea and throwing it to the side.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 08:27 AM) It is really depressing to think that this is most likely Indian Summer right now... why is that depressing? I think it is a relief, we had 3 straight weeks of 40 degree rainy weather

Legacy is this -->

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 07:58 AM) Norv and Ron Turner just ain't that good of football coaches. But they really miss Jamal Williams more than anything.

Hey look, Manny's clutch hit and catch tied up the series 2-2. http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/mannys-grab-...-tie-nlcs-26550 Wait, the Phillies LEAD 3-1? eh?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 19, 2009 -> 10:30 PM) I find it hard to believe anybody would take on Liney's contract. If somebody would, I'd be all for dealing him, but not for a problem child. Maybe another bad middle reliever. Liney for somebody else's hack would be fine with me. you have such high expectations

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 19, 2009 -> 02:43 PM) And yet, AJP is much more hated throughout baseball. THATS CUZ AJ MAYBE KNEED SOME GUY IN THE BALLS MAYBE!!!!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 19, 2009 -> 10:59 AM) My thought is why can't we be hot after an actual offensive lineman? I think the real reason is that you cant just install an O-lineman mid-season and have any success because of all of the assignments and schemes that the lineman needs to learn. You can plug someone in most positions on a football field, but QB and O-lineman are pretty difficult to "plug and play" so to speak.

How about KC just being thankful we gave them Mark Bradley, and just sliding Johnson on over to the Bears just because

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 19, 2009 -> 09:47 AM) Which in turn allows you to "buffer" faster, no? hey hey hey, this discussion belongs in the "How many times do you *ahem* a day?" thread

I cant express how disappointed I am in Forte right now. He is a carbon copy of Anthony Thomas from rookie year to second year. First year: explosive, solid if not spectacular, smart Second year: tentative, fumble prone, hesitant, slow Those two fumbles on the 1 were just totally unacceptable

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 19, 2009 -> 09:06 AM) How about news. Afghanistan, health care, Iraq, the recession, etc. You know...things that matter. I dont think the coverage of these matters dropped so much. CNN, MSNBC, Fox all had their news crawls going full speed for real news while this little distraction took place.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 19, 2009 -> 09:00 AM) I don't get why anyone takes anything they read at bleacherreport seriously. i think the problem is the speed of the internet and google showing the search results like it is fact. Twitter increases the speed of a rumor times infinity

I waited a day afterwards because he wasnt gonna be sober enough to acknowledge the birthday wishes as it was :
