QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 02:00 PM) BS. If they won't let Mourneau walk, they aren't going to let Mauer walk. Having $14 million remaining on a contract vs having $138 million remaining is apparently not a factor in your brain.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 01:58 PM) Oh, I think there is some reason for doubt. I don't disagree with your logic, but I really think Mauer brings a lot more to that franchise than just his on field production. They would laugh and drive him to the airport.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 01:51 PM) If I'm Ryan, I'd let him walk also but not to the White Sox. If you let him go to the White Sox and he's a great player, you just killed your fanbase for a very long time. Thank God you don't run the team. You'd claim him, and then he'd be on our roster needing to play 1b or DH every other day to save his knees, and we'd be screwed. If Mauer got claimed, he'd be let go. There is no doubt about that.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 11:31 PM) Every teacher should make 6 figures This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

I don't care how fiscally irresponsible it would be, Mark Buehrle coming back to the Sox would make me masturbate and give us a much better chance of winning a World Series title this year. Also, Jake's gone this offseason anyway, so 2013 would look better, too.

Nice, no local TV blackouts.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 10:30 PM) Serious question for all you republicans. If you don't want to pay teachers a good salary(and you don't if you want to get rid of their unions) how the hell can your keynote speaker stand up there and talk about making sure the teachers are the best of the best and having standards and evaluations they must meet? Making sure the students come first etc etc. Here's how to fix education. Pay teachers what they're worth and the best people will become teachers. Anyone with any kind of talent is going into other professions because they wont make as much if they're a teacher. Make teaching a respectable profession and pay them like it and you will have good teachers. Edit: I'm a first year teacher who just graduated college and want to know the answer to this question. This is such a common mis-perception. Teachers get paid plenty and work 75% of the year. Maybe teachers should stop gaming the system, getting 15 master's degrees, and pricing themselves out of positions.

The final product is much better than the demo.

The Newsroom is f***ing terrible.

I would just like to say that halfway through last season I said Scal would be a bench coach with us next season. I want my props. Also. Derrick Rose will return to greatness, so f*** you all.

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 04:05 PM) Are my eyes playing tricks or are they scheduled to play a 4 game series vs. Boston with the first two games in Boston and the last two in Philly? The White Sox and Cubs play one 4-game series next year, 2 games at the Cell, 2 at Wrigley.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 03:17 PM) He's only got one more year left on his deal and he's got 17 HRs. I wouldn't give him up for free. He gets $14 million next year and will be 32. They should have let him walk.

pls win

Time to go pick up Madden.

He's cheaper than Manny was, and certainly an area of need for the White Sox. He just had an excellent start. The White Sox have 3 days to get an arm; here is one.

Erik Bedard was released. I expect him to be signed in a couple of days.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 02:55 PM) You wrote all of those without including "Game Over"? GAME OVER MAN GAME OVER

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 02:45 PM) I had wondered myself. Did not know the Cardinal was the Illinois state bird. I knew it, I just didn't make the connection.

Aliens "We're dead! we're dog meat pal!" "They mostly come out at night... mostly." "You heard the man and know the drill. Assholes and elbows!" "THey're comin' outta the God damn walls!" "How could they cut the power MAN? They're animals!" A lot of them are Hudson, because he's classic. That's all I got off the top of my head.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 01:08 PM) Spaceballs: "I knew it--I'm surrounded by assholes." "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate." "When will then be now?" "Soon." I bet she gives good helmet.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 02:33 PM) http://www.museum.state.il.us/exhibits/symbols/bird.html That's stupid. I, however, like it.

Why are there Cardinals in the lead post?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 02:24 PM) You would be all over it if it was a ginger superstar. Those don't exist. The closest is Wes from the Challenge. And he's a dope.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 03:19 PM) Furthermore, having Adrian Gonzalez on their roster is probably going to be an incredibly valuable asset for them in terms of developing additional following amongst the communities with Mexican backgrounds in the LA area. I'd love to see some empirical evidence of this. Anytime a latin player moves people say this kind of s***. Gonzo didn't get people to watch Padres games, Ozzie didn't get people to care about the Marlins. This is just drivel that keeps getting repeated anytime a latin player moves. People care about baseball or they don't, and people care about stars or they don't. Someone being white isn't going to make me like them more than if they were latino, and it goes the same for latinos. This is bulls***.
