QUOTE (Mattchoo @ Dec 19, 2009 -> 09:45 AM) Adrian Gonzalez and Chris Young for Gavin Floyd, Tyler Flowers, Jarred Mitchell, Brent Morel, and either CJ Retherford or Jason Nix (if SD wants a player that should be playing right now) Man, I'm all about getting Gonzalez, but I don't like that price.

The game tonight was great. It was back and forth, and the Hawks really dominated most of it... Niemi needs to work on the rebounds.

What's the damn point anymore? He only cost 5.5 mill this year with an optoin at the same rate for next year.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 18, 2009 -> 12:27 PM) Yea, I'm always hit or miss with LZ Granderson, and could see where he was going until he dropped the Ben Gordon an All-Star line. Then I stopped reading. Ha, there were a lot of other misleading topics in the one. The fact that the Bulls struck even with him on the floor is a big one.

Gimme Freddy till he shows he can't do it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 18, 2009 -> 11:48 AM) They just need to pitch him against the White Sox. HAHA

That's hilarious... Silva, who is owed $24 million over the next two years, posted an 8.60 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in 30 innings this past season and a 6.46 ERA in 153 1/3 innings the year before.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 18, 2009 -> 11:14 AM) http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/commentary/...tory?id=4751701 Apparently, BG was an All-Star. Hmm, I missed that game. What an idiot.

Sorry for offending anyone in the thread; but I find it funny that folks are mourning him like it's some great loss for society.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 18, 2009 -> 09:24 AM) You're making him out to be some sort of serial rapist and child molester. Do you hope anyone that gets a DUI or smokes pot dies?It's as if you don't even read the messages I type. Where did I say I hope he dies? I said he got what he deserved for acting like a f***ing idiot and jumping into a moving truck. If someone dies driving drunk, they get what they deserve too for being stupid. Smoking pot... I don't see how you could kill yourself with it, so I don't know where you're going with that one.

It's been brought up a few times here so I guess I'll ask... where did I "wish death upon him"? All I said was this f***wad got what he deserved. He didn't give a s*** about himself, never bothered to turn his life around (where is the proof of this??? soemone watched Hard Knocks and believed what the f***ing narrator said????? the Bengals never gave a s*** about off the field, i never saw proof that Henry gave a damn... he collected his millions and laughed). If he cared about his "kids" (ie his f*** trophies that just so happened to exist) he would have cut the s*** from day one. No chasing baby mama out da house and jumping in a moving truck bed and POUNDING ON THE BACK WINDOW. You guys are a bunch of jagbags jumping on me because I happen to be able to say something that isn't PC. Big f***ing deal. Chris Henry was a pile of human feces. I'd like anyone to argue that fact. "Aw man, that ain't cool dog. This sucka was gettin' his life straight n s***. s*** man. That poor family. They no longer have that ghetto pile of s*** gettin' arrested once a year at the least and tryin' ta beat on his girl. What a great guy. Chris Henry is Jesus. Chris Henry is the greatest person ever." I know I just exaggerated big time, but the point is there. You guys all the sudden want to defend this sack of s*** when he's no better than any of your classic crooks. My GOD if i jumped in the bed of a truck while it was speeding and stood up and died, I'd sure as f***ing s*** pray to God no one sobbed because I was dumb enough to do that s***. His kids are better off now... maybe they stand a chance because they won't grow up idolizing a piece of work like their father. They can eventually read how stupid he was, and how he pissed away millions given chance after chance. DUI's, domestic disputes, violence... yup, let's get behind this guy and all plead that we're holier than thou because we think it's so classless and old Stevo is such an asshole. This whole board freaked out because I called a spade a spade. Man I'm such an asshole. Give me a break. I'm glad Chris Henry is dead, it's better for his kids.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Dec 17, 2009 -> 05:39 PM) His fiancée seemed to be quite the lady... How dare you sarcastically speak ill of a human?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Dec 17, 2009 -> 05:27 PM) Meh you really turned the douche factor up to 10 on those posts and the replies reflect it, that's why you haven't heard anything from me. If you had chosen to write it differently then people would've responded differently, but you didn't and they aren't. Yeah, I'll admit. I cranked the d factor up for effect.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Dec 17, 2009 -> 04:48 PM) He totally gets my vote. Oh man, I cannot wait to display that trophy in my signature.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Dec 17, 2009 -> 04:39 PM) I agree that when a bunch of people say RIP and get all gushy over someone who didnt live a particular good life I find it dumb and dont take part of it. But as far as saying he gawn and he was trash etc. etc., wow are you an ignorant pos. I think that's name calling. I'm anything but ignorant in the situation. I'm dead-on about Chris Henry.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 17, 2009 -> 04:29 PM) Well said shack. See Steve, if you said something like this, you probably don't get ripped on. I pretty much said exactly the same thing, I was just the first to have the balls to say it so I got ripped on... no biggie though. Someone's gotta do it... and I do finally get a Soxtalk Award out of it.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 17, 2009 -> 04:19 PM) Ah the ol' "Ignore what was written in the entire post *(not counting of course this tragedy)* ordeal." Gotta love it. C'mon Gerry, you know you love the tactic!

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 17, 2009 -> 04:10 PM) and kept his name out the news this entire season You know, up until yesterday.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Dec 17, 2009 -> 04:08 PM) Okay we get it, you're trying to justify why you don't care. How about you go make some other statements that you wouldn't outside of a message board. I've said these very statements to my friends and some family. Get over it and stop taking it so personally. I was just posting the development. The guy's a thug, he was up to bad stuff, died because of it, end of story. If he doesn't die the story leads to him getting arrested for like the 10th time. Just look at the rap sheet. He would have been anything but a good influence on his children. Now they get his money, hopefully they are put in the position to do the right things with it. And now this, he dies because he acted like the idiot he is... I don't see why my not feeling sorry for the situation is so hard to understand.

CBS affiliate WBTV reports that the tapes, from Dec. 16, include two calls. The first is an unidentified woman calmly telling the operator that she is driving behind a yellow truck with "a black man on it with no shirt on, and he's got his arm in a cast and black pants on," she told a dispatcher. "He's beating on the back of this truck window... I don't know if he's trying to break in or something. It just looks crazy. It's a girl driving it." She then says that the truck turned off of the street she was driving on and that she did not follow it.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 17, 2009 -> 01:10 PM) Cool, maybe you outta be the one to sit his children down and explain to them how they no longer have a father. Maybe you can comfort him mother and father. Afterall, losing a son shouldn't be too rough since he was such a horrific human being. Maybe you can explain to the people that actually KNEW him, people that he was really close to, that it's no big deal. That he was a monster. Pass.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 17, 2009 -> 12:13 PM) I think asshole post of the decade and century got locked up too. Watch out with the name-calling. That could land you a suspension.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 17, 2009 -> 09:05 AM) A low seed has never beaten the highest seed in any other sport. Give the guy a break, Krush. Don't you remember the "President's Cup curse"? The basis of that really wasn't perfect, as enough have won to show it's kind of random. However, hockey is unique in the fact that a goaltender can get hot and completely take over a series. There's something to the point, though we can all hope that the top teams make it deep this year.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Dec 17, 2009 -> 10:49 AM) Do you think they pipe in noise for the anthemn? I was in section 117 last night and it seemed like nobody was making noise. No. The noise comes from the fans in the 300 level who care about the tradition of the team! Just kidding. They certainly don't pipe in noise though, your section probably just stunk in terms of fun folks. Nice seats, though.
