Aldi is too irregular with things that I need for me to go there frequently. Right now I go to Butera in elgin for my meat and fruit/vegetables, and go to Jewel for pretty much everything else. I used to go to Valli food in Hoffman Estates/Schaumburg before we moved to Sleepy Hollow. I miss that place, their prices were better than everywhere else near me.

omg you are as bad as the guy that used to come on this site and post how many times the Cubs were mentioned over the white sox.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 01:05 PM) Numbers wise they're already comparable and Q has room to grow. The first half of 06 you guys are touting Count had a 3.38 ERA, Q in the 2nd half had a 3.21. I know that's cherry picking and mismatching a bit, but I think it's somewhat valid. He was dominating until he hurt himself, i believe he hurt his back in June. Look at his splits in April/May, then in June is when he got hurt. He was dealing

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 01:08 PM) I guess to me being an ace is not a state of being. You either are one or you aren't. You might be able to impersonate one for 35 starts, but it becomes quite clear over your career whether or not you are one. We have always known that Chris is an ace. Before he had ever pitched like one, we knew that was what we had. Jose Quintana could go 22-2 next season with a 2.8 ERA and we will still know that he is not an ace. Hard to say with Contreras. By all accounts in his Cuban years he was every bit an ace, which is why the Yankees backed up the cash truck when his Contreras defected. What we saw looked like an ace. Your opinion is that he is just a good pitcher that got hot, but he pitched the part of an ace for that team. He wasnt just a really good 2 or 3.

Matt Stafford fumbleface, in glorious slow motion

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 12:43 PM) But of course, he wasn't an ace. That's the cool thing about having a lot of really good pitchers. Chances are, at any given moment one of them will pitch like an ace. Contreras was super inconsistent and just got hot. That's why he only cost us Esteban Loaiza, who was also an ace for five minutes. Nobody comparable to Chris Sale on that team and that's okay. It wasnt any given moment though. His numbers for almost a calender year were that of an ace. He wasnt inconsistent at all, he was straight up dominant. Before the 05 break, and after the 06 break it was the inconsistent guy. But he absolutely elevated his game to an Ace.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 12:39 PM) I'm of the opinion that an ace is one of the most overrated possessions. I think having a great rotation is the best thing to have, but having an "ace" is not all that different from having a really, really good pitcher. What ace was on the 2005 team? It was filled with guys we'd say were 2s and 3s. Contreras finished out that season as an ace. And continued that through the beginning of 2006. He was just filthy after the break

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 11:25 AM) Take the best offer you can get then move a guy or two for Price and ink Price to a long term deal. Hopefully at the end of the day you have Price and an A rated prospect Sale would fit into Tampa's budget as well...... LMAO, you think the Rays front office would just take a guy or two for Price?

Im pretty wary of trading Sale too. Returns like the A's got for Haren are the exception, not the rule. Johan Santana and Miguel Cabrera's returns were abysmal

He was pretty filthy in his prime. Too bad he wasted most of that prime in Toronto

Its just gonna be an ice cold game tonite.

Yea that was an amazing catch to end the game. Tough way to lose for the Vikings on that pass interference call

The Lions are lion-ing

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 01:25 PM) He's got an ankle. He'll be fine. /wannstedt

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 01:15 PM) Any report on what it was? Didn't look like bad tackle on replay I saw. Right ankle injury

QUOTE (Lillian @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 10:35 AM) "It ain't over, til it's over" 5 years says "it's over"

Lol they wanted Felix Hernandez throwing BP between starts to help hitters work on things? What a joke

One day Lillian will realize that the dream is over

Hmmm, pinned on the staff. There will be sacrificial lambs here, names will be outed soon

Missouri/Auburn is pretty exciting so far

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 7, 2013 -> 11:33 AM) Andro hardly did anything and was legal at the time. I would guess that McGwire was using actual steroids and had the Andro around as a distraction as if to say "I got huge like this legally" I think around that time McGwire was the Bill Romanowski of baseball in terms of juicing. If it could be taken, it was

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 7, 2013 -> 11:17 AM) The question I keep wishing someone would answer is why didn't the clean players rise up? Why didn't the guys who were getting screwed by not taking PEDs not go public in a big way? Absent of any solid information that I can find my answer is that they were intimidated by MLB Inc. That they didn't want to bite the hands that fed them. Now, MLB Inc. decides to clean up the players. I can see a backlash against MLB and empathy for players in all this. It must be infuriating when your employer basically rewards you for rules breaking then suddenly adopts a holier than thou attitude. It sickens me that the game was basically taken over by cheating. The MLBPA kept them on a leash. Don't you remember when Frank Thomas tried to organize a union defiance so that the clubhouse had to be tested for PEDs, only to have the MLBPA quash it? The MLB and MLBPA were both a part of protecting the users. There would be no uprising

Niu must have had a motivational speech from Mel Tucker
