QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 6, 2011 -> 10:33 AM) Humber has exactly 7 starts in his major league career, 5 of which have happened in April. I'm not ready to anoint him better than Buehrle quite yet. He has zero track record to go off of, other than potential. We could trade him for Edwin Jackson's twin brother.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 6, 2011 -> 10:21 AM) There are kids that will do anything to get famous because they think the faces on US weekly is the pinnacle of life. Getting pregnant is not outside of that craziness. Absolutely agree.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 6, 2011 -> 10:09 AM) And as a response to this thread. f*** KW.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 5, 2011 -> 09:00 PM) I'm not far removed from high school, and I'm talking about a small public one, and I really don't think there is hardly anyone that would get knocked up because of this show. I think the benefit far outweighs the cost. Assumption. QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ May 6, 2011 -> 09:01 AM) god help us! link The fastest-rising names for both girls and boys came from a pair of reality TV shows called "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom." Maci was the biggest riser among girls, jumping 423 spots to No. 232. Among boys, Bentley shot up 414 spots to No. 101. Maci Bookout has starred as a teen mother on the MTV shows. Her baby's name is Bentley. "It certainly tends to say this is what people are watching and what they are connecting with," Astrue said. "I'll leave it to others to explain the phenomenon." Fact.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 6, 2011 -> 09:01 AM) The guy is dead. What else do you need to know? The exact number of bullets fired? Why is this even a controversy? I don't really think it is much of a conspiracy. Right now, people (including on this board) are worried about the perceptions of the Tea Party and extremists in Afghanistan/Pakistan, which have gone largely unfounded. The next time I care what Michael Moore has to say will be the first. The administration needs to move onto the phase of getting our troops out of Afghanistan and swiftly, and to then deploy these cost-savings on a strapped United States economy that is being ignored right now.

The next series we manage to avoid a team's ace will be the first.

QUOTE (hi8is @ May 5, 2011 -> 06:42 PM) Jakes not looking good - 5 runs in 1 inning. Also, to me showed some discomfort during a visit to the mound - but stayed in... He might not have been hurting - but maybe rather pissed off. We'll see - I'm guessing best case here is that he's got one more start in the minors. It's a rehab start... he threw 100 pitches with 6 innings perfect, 5 ks, 1 bb, high 80s low 90s.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 6, 2011 -> 07:57 AM) But he won the NBA's 2010-11 J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award? Eh, Ron-Ron is just plain a bad dude. He's f***ed in the head. That being said, you aren't kicking him out of the league anytime soon. If Rodman could kick a photographer in the balls on the sidelines during a game and stay in the league (I think it was somewhere between 11-13 games in suspension) then Ron-Ron isn't getting kicked out. Even though he did hop in the stands and drop some f***s nearly a decade ago.

It's great to hear these stories and great that he'll be honored.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 6, 2011 -> 07:09 AM) I popped for "Son of a b****!" Ha, me too, that episode rocked. I can't wait for next week.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 5, 2011 -> 04:55 PM) I heard Alsion Brie's cleavage should get its own billing. It definitely should have. I could hardly breath.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 5, 2011 -> 05:37 PM) Sooo... that's "Paul Konerko", huh? If you'd prefer... dick

He's the only one worth a s*** anyway.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 5, 2011 -> 04:01 PM) I have a feeling the next 2 weeks of COMMUNITY will be on my DVR for awhile. Paintball part 2! Jim "Sawyer" Lafleur!

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ May 5, 2011 -> 03:55 PM) Beyond that, what is anyone going to do about it? AMERICA F*CK YEAH

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 5, 2011 -> 12:29 PM) Does anyone else think the Adam Dunn banner on top cursed the White Sox? No, but it sure is stale.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 5, 2011 -> 03:05 PM) We might as well start Viciedo at 1B in Charlotte and get him up here as soon as we can trade away Paulie. I don't see too many teams taking that Konerko contract regardless of his production. The Sawx and Yanks are set at 1B. Maybe the Yanks could DH him, but his contract is going to be really fugly in the next couple years.

QUOTE (Fantl916 @ May 5, 2011 -> 02:43 PM) ha guess i should research these things first... my bad? just figured a leadoff type ss would be a good fit for the team That'd be a good fit for any team.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 4, 2011 -> 10:01 PM) Steve, that is pretty much perfect. Thank you. You, sir, are welcome.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 5, 2011 -> 12:36 PM) You don't think the Mets would take Alexei Ramirez, Jake Peavy, Addison Reed, + another good pitching prospect for 4 months+ of Jose Reyes if they had the money? That's insane. It's moot, they don't have the money, and I don't think if they were trading Reyes they'd say "hot damn, that Alexei Ramirez would be a great get!"

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 5, 2011 -> 12:14 PM) Was it really that many? My God, I hate Americans. I suppose that's the wrong thing to say in a thread about the death of Osama bin Laden. I love America, but I can't stand Americans. I think we just need to come up with something similar to a Chris Rock joke. I think the following would work... Americans - yay we love Merikans - wtf

QUOTE (oldsox @ May 5, 2011 -> 09:29 AM) Vizquel. Subject of one of the worst trades of all time, when Mariners gave him to Cleveland for nothing, just becasuse A-Rod was coming. And that was 1994, I believe. And he is still playing. If you're going to get rid of someone simply to make room for another player, well, I think that might have been the exception.

Dude needs to be out of baseball. His single most-valuable asset (stealing) is toast. (6 steals, 9 caught stealing/picked off)

QUOTE (flavum @ May 5, 2011 -> 12:11 PM) The Sox should have an Opening Day ceremony tomorrow night in their clubhouse. Pretend it's opening day. Forget what's happened the last 5 weeks. Just go back to the opening day lineup. Beckham in the 2-hole. Morel batting 9th. The whole bit. Shoot for 36-25 the rest of the first half and get over .500 heading into the break. If it works, great. If it doesn't, break up the team the last 3 weeks of July. I remember Opening Day. The lineup was amazing.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 5, 2011 -> 12:18 PM) Of course the Mets would do that (if they had the money). That's an awful deal for the Sox. Alexei is an elite SS in baseball. Not on Reyes level yet, but I don't think he is too far off overall.
