QUOTE (lostfan @ Dec 19, 2008 -> 12:04 PM) If you are the Bears, do you approach Mike Brown with an incentive-laden deal that's based on games played? Mean Mike Brown can still play, maybe not like 2 years ago when he was in the convo as one of the best S's in the NFL, but I still love him. I really think it's time to part ways with Brown, and it's really time to start letting some of these grizzled vets go.

Great video... that Alexei Grand Slam was f***ing so awesome. I s*** myself when it happened. Seriously, I had to change my pants.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 19, 2008 -> 11:07 AM) The problem with you theory there is that the young guys arent used to pitching over 200 innings which means that our pen and the rest of our staff would be more taxed thus really hurting our rotation and the team as a whole. There is alot of value in a player like Garland that can help the younger guys (Danks, Floyd, 5th starter) keep their innings reasonable and also keep our pen which is somewhat injury prone, from being over worked. You cannot just inject young guys into a rotation because you want to see if they work, there are many other factors to consider. That.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 19, 2008 -> 09:34 AM) If we're over budget with the team as currently constructed, then we really can't afford to add a guy who ought to be solid and suck up innings in the FA market unless they are really cheap for some reason. If someone offers Garland a fair contract, fact is we'd be priced out of that market. It didn't take us all long to buy into the over-budget talks. Sure, season ticket prices keep going up and attendance has been through the roof, the White Sox have every reason to scale back. This is Reinsdorf at his best/worst.

Not I. Thankfully I work 5 minutes from home though.

I said it after I saw it in the theater a few months back... Pineapple Express is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

I'd say in the case of worse GM, I'd give it slightly to Thomas just because he also sexually assaulted women at his work. However, the fact that McHale still has a job with that organization is hilarious.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 19, 2008 -> 07:55 AM) Wow! He really did eat Lennox Lewis' children: I was so going to post that. Well done.

QUOTE (MO2005 @ Dec 19, 2008 -> 08:45 AM) No No No...Garland is on the decline and has no place on this team. I'd rather see what Marquez/Richard/Poreda could do. Garland thanks for the memories in 2005! What? We're currently with only 3 proven starters on the ML level, one of which, Floyd, very well could regress. I'm all for a little battle for the #5 spot, but a team that has ANY aspirations of repeating as AL Central Champs sure as hell had better have another major league arm ready.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 08:51 PM) I saw that Steve, but Pax doesn't make significant moves, you know that as well as I do. I guess you got me there. F*** John Paxson. The GM, not the player.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 07:03 PM) actually chris johnson got me there, but no way against the Steelers. I knew Steve would come thru. I just see Rhodes having a monster game. Argh, just caught a TD when I wanted another one for Wayne. Hopefully your other boys do better than Rhodes finishes.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 08:48 PM) Lawal isn't going to be there when the Bulls pick. The word is starting to get out on him, and that will only happen more if he continues to perform in ACC play as most of us would expect he will. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 06:56 PM) I'm sure he'll move up as the season progresses. Pax should make a move to get him if he doesn't fall to us.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 08:23 PM) Wow I missed a Steve-Kalapse argument It was more of a fun-ument. We both argued things we didn't believe to kill an hour. It was pretty silly. (I that wins are all that matters, he that he doesn't want Garland back whatsoever)

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 03:28 PM) I'm well aware of your desire to get Lawal, I like him too. Luckily he's projected in the late lottery at the moment. I'm sure he'll move up as the season progresses. Pax should make a move to get him if he doesn't fall to us.

Sundin to the Canucks, 2 years, $20 million. F*** that, I'm glad we didn't sign him.

Go with the horses that got you there.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 04:51 PM) I think you and I disagree more than we agree on topics pertaining to baseball. That love you have for Willy T. has been burning strong for a few years now, I remember you waxing poetic about him back when he was still with the Astros, I still think you're nuts. The entire baseball world seems to be on your side with this one. Willy T is f***ing awful.

QUOTE (Shadows @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 04:47 PM) If it makes you feel any better I disagree with a lot of what you say on here, I just don't say anything cause your my boy Kal Carl, you possess both the coolest avatar and the funniest name on this site. Your disagreement is assumed everywhere you don't post and in all subjects wii-related.

I thought it was against the rules for two mods to date? Or is this casual? Just stop slobbing each other's knobs!

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 04:39 PM) I'm sick of everyone always agreeing with me. Rarely does anyone actually call me out, sometimes I have to fabricate an disagreement just to get some good dialogue going. SO basically we both were just full of s*** on an argument for fun's sake to get us through the last hour of the workday? I think that's what I'm hearing. I think that makes us awesome.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 04:36 PM) I haven't posted on here in almost a week and a whole lot less of late than I'd like to because I'm not seeing any good discussions that really interest me, I'm hard up for some good Sox talk right now, I don't find you talking down to me to be all that funny especially when I'm trying to actually discuss the topic with another poster and it's not like you're a stranger to the condescending remark. I'm also wound pretty tight right now, this has been a pretty long week. Alright. I've always known you to be good at taking it. We're all ready for this week to be over... I find it funny that we were all arguing the same thing, Slav and myself that Garland most certainly would be a great signing at the right price. Your arguments made it seem like you wanted him nowhere near the Sox, but after reading the post you quoted of yourself, we obviously all agree.

innocent until proven guilty?

So what we're all saying here is that we all basically agreed the whole time. I love it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 04:28 PM) Had a hard week or something? No just really itching for my Christmas time off. Also a signing for the Sox would do well to curb my Soxiety, especially with how terriBULL the bulls are. Thank God for the Hawks.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 04:28 PM) I can see him getting between 8 and 9 million. My best guess is 8x8x9 for a 3 year deal. I'd almost rather see a front-loaded deal. But 3x8.33 or 3x9 works for me.
