QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 04:06 PM) Like someone seeing a particular playing doing blow off of a stripper's chest in the locker room after a minor league game? Ooooooooooooooo. Saucy.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 04:02 PM) Or an illusion. *queues 'The Final Countdown'* COME ON!

This is about Carlos. Congrats Carlos and congrats Kenny for the biggest ripoff trade I've seen in awhile!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 04:00 PM) In writing it's Libel. Thank you Sir Balta. I don't like these types of sweeping statements. If he gets hammered every night, it doesn't really matter... but the way that statement was written, as fact, without anything to back it up, was a joke.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 03:54 PM) Now that I know the trade is legit, I will say that PEDs was not the only issue Swisher had off the field. For his sake, I hope he cleans up his act. In all seriousness, would you like to back up this slanderous allegation?

Not only that, but he was 9 points worse than the next closest... And White Sox fans never once booed the bastard. Think what Yankee fans will do to him!

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 03:41 PM) Could this be one of those moves that now we turn around and deal Fields, Betemit, and Marquez to Baltimore for Roberts?? It definitely gives us some options.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 03:39 PM) The good news is that Betemit on a very similar offensive career path to Crede. In fact, his defense might be a bit better. The kid can handle every position on the field barring C, P, and CF. Don't say that to Kalapse.

QUOTE (SnB @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 03:21 PM) i, for one, am looking forward to that glorious mustache THAT'S my contribution to this thread...

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 03:05 PM) The big two trades last offseason = massive busts Eh, two good prospects for Garland is better than the Type B comp we'd have gotten had we kept him.

Johnny Nunez, Wilson Betemit, Jeff Marquez That's more like it, I love Wilson Betemit.

There must be more moves in the works. You don't just give away a guy like Swisher without other stuff in the works.

This has Kenny written all over it... got a former 1st rounder who's stock has dropped, and Marquez is a sinkerballer too...

QUOTE (Buck Weaver's Ghost @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 02:38 PM) How am I the first to post this? Minor league pitcher Jeff Marquez is headed to Chicago in the deal. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3700869 QUOTE (Buck Weaver's Ghost @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 02:38 PM) How am I the first to post this?

I don't get this one, by the way. Marquez best be quite impressive.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 11:29 AM) Pelfrey had a decent season over here actually, and seemed to be finally living up to some of his potential. That sinker would work well at the Cell also. Not that the Mets would give him up. He's not arbitration eligible yet IIRC, so he's cheap, and Minaya wants pitching. I think he'd rather give up more highly rated prospects than Pelfrey at this point because that team pretty much HAS to make the playoffs next season, and they're not going to give up major league talent that'll hinder them from doing that. Very good point.

QUOTE (Chisoxrd5 @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 12:36 AM) Frontera Grill - Authentic Mexican (highly recommend) That. Go to Frontera, she can get a poultry dish and everyone will be happy. Margaritas are recommended (and oughtta loosen up the mood!)

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 05:02 AM) Have you ever stopped to notice how strange rock music is? I mean, it's such a part of our culture now that we hardly even notice. Our ears are so well trained for it, that we can pick out melody among all that noise. The next time you listen to it, pretend if you can, that you'd never been exposed to it before. It's really weird noise. Ok, Grandpa.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 10:25 AM) I could see why people thought Gatsby's sucked, but the bottom level had the best and most pool tables in town. I loves me a good pool hall.

Hooray. It being Thursday means the newest "Sons of Anarchy" will be available in HD On Demand. I love that show.

QUOTE (SnB @ Nov 12, 2008 -> 07:29 PM) for all of you that have had to send in your xbox for service: how long was the turn around? I've got a buddy who got it back in 2 weeks. I've had mine for about a year now, still no issues. However, when I do have an issue, the $$ spent at Best Buy for the warranty will be worth it, because I can just go in there and they'll hand me a brand new system immediately.
