QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 25, 2014 -> 08:46 AM) Well, the Twins saved about $4 million that would have been wasted on the next two months and got someone who could be a future closer if everything breaks right for Pryor...although those lat surgeries are a new procedure, I guess this is the second one after Peavy's for a major league pitcher. I believe he was referring to Seattle signing Morales.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 25, 2014 -> 07:27 AM) Sounds more like a punishment. We both know this to be correct.

Ryan Raburn was most excellent in left field last night

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 25, 2014 -> 08:03 AM) And there's plenty of big men who handle their weight fine. One cannot say with 100% certainty that how much Frank weighed had anything to do with causing the injury in the 1st place . Maybe he was just predisposed to that kind of injury. There's just way too much we think we know about the human body when there's actually a lot more that we don't know by far. I'm not arguing against physical fitness probably just against the arrogance of medical people in general . Maybe 100 yrs. from now just as 100 yrs. ago we'll be thought of as foolish or primitive in some of the things we believe about the body or some of the medical procedures . I dont see how it is arrogant. Regardless of anything we have argued, a guy his height weighing 278 would be considered overweight. If he wants to be in better shape, then more power to him.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 25, 2014 -> 07:28 AM) If it's not broke you don't fix it. I hope it does help his foot , his back and overall health in general but he's a baseball player in a long grueling season. Sometimes I think extra weight serves as an insulator to injury or a storage area when your body is run down. I think there's such a thing as too finely tuned. It also puts extra stress on the body. Big Frank had nothing but problems with his feet as he got older, and he certainly was a lot bigger late in his career

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 25, 2014 -> 06:45 AM) No, it's being made by Apple. Jk There just seems to be so much going on behind the scenes with Ant Man that I'm afraid it could be bad. Peyton Reed is an odd choice to replace Wright. I don't think it will be bad,per se, I just think it might feel like less than its predecessors. Changing directors and rewriting like they did is never good though.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 08:33 PM) I had a buddy make that comparison to me this week. It never even crossed my mind before, man that would suck. My dad has had 3 neck surgeries after an initial spinal fusion of his C4/C5 vertebrae, and stenosis of the spine has absolutely wrecked him. It all started with tingly fingers and numbing sensation up and down the arm. That same feeling is what made Edge get his neck examined

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 07:04 PM) Bryan looks horrible. Don't think he's coming back this year. If he is having issues with feeling in his arm and fingers after neck surgery, there is a very real possibility that eventually he will exit like Edge did.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 07:24 PM) Yet despite that interesting presence (and one of the top 5-7 pitchers in baseball), we're still somehow trailing Houston and Miami in attendance. Bottom 5 in tv ratings, 28th in attendance. One would shudder to think how depressing this season would have been without Abreu and Rodon (now). No GM>Cubs>TV ratings>Jose Abreu>Chris Sale>white sox. because attendance

Because someone had to

gotta be a surreal experience for Sting. His entire life he was against the grain, and now he is in.

HAHA! HA Ha ha

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) I can kind of see the difference there though, despite thinking it's dumb. DUI's aren't usually willful violations. You can have a few beers legally and drive. But you might be drunker than you think, and then it suddenly becomes illegal. With pot there is no grey area. It's always illegal. Im curious how this works in Colorado and Washington now

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 01:51 PM) I doubt anyone would know about it if you were just Kyle and not a professional athlete. No, my job let us know upon hire that anything crime related is constantly searched. Basically, if my name comes up on a police blotter, HR knows when it happens.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 01:27 PM) If you beat your wife, does your employer suspend you or take part of your pay check? If I did what Blackmon or Rice did, I would lose my job. 100 percent positive

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 10:44 AM) Brandon Marshall was fined for wearing the wrong color shoes, but I don't think he was ever fined or suspended for the couple times he was arrested for domestic abuse. yea he was He slid on one, and on another he was stabbed by his wife.

Avila's position of choice has destroyed him. he just cant stay healthy. I still think he is good, but we will never see what he was for that flash of a season

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 10:35 AM) What I don't get is if they really think his arm is going to be a problem, why up your offer multiple times in the last minute, but then let the kid slip away over a million a half. It is one thing to bid the minimum to keep compensation. But to let him and 2 other picks walk because of $1.5 million? Either he isn't worth it because his arm is wonked, or he is OK, and worth the number one pick. Pay him his money and move on. I think Houston's late bidding activity directly contradicts their public contentions about his health being a factor. You have to wonder if Aiken and Close just shut the door when the lowballing began, and just kept it closed even if the Astros came back to their original offer. After an experience like that coupled with the issues with Springer and Appell and Singleton, why would anyone want to begin their career with the astros.

Plaxico Burress got 4 games for shooting himself, and Brandon Marshall was fined 25K for wearing the wrong color cleats Ray Rice was suspended 2 games and fined 58K for beating his fiancee unconscious and dragging her into an elevator by her hair. Totally makes sense

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 09:10 AM) There's no way you can argue swapping Mirotic and McDermott for Love does not improve this team offensively. Mirotic is a third string power forward. I am all about making this trade, no questions asked, but you have no idea what Mirotic is. Nobody really does yet

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 08:53 AM) We very easily could have had Bonilla and Bonds together instead of the Pirates (along with Thomas, Ventura, McDowell, Alvarez, Sosa, Bere, Thigpen, Hibbard, Radinsky, Fernandez and Lance Johnson). Talk about a loaded team. Oh, well. Life goes on. If they had Bonds and Bonilla from the get go, there is a good chance they arent in any position to draft a good chunk of the players you just listed

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 08:17 AM) Does it work cap-wise? At this point, the FO has to just make it work. It may not look feasible to us, but the bean counters tend to do a lot of magic when things like this happen

lol, Jays insistence that it is a conversion van reminds me of Seinfeld, "Its not a purse, it is European!"

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 07:31 AM) There is someone w 24 saves in the current bullpen???? I don't think the Sox have 24 saves total in the bullpen. There are plenty of people with high ERAs and bad peripherals that blow games in our bullpen, which is what i meant. I love how everyone conveniently forgets how many games Reed blew last year and how bad he looked down the stretch when his fastball lost life and he was tired. But hey, Reed=Playoffs.
