So, is Dubee going to become buddies with Danks?

The Score just confirmed it's Michael Dubee, RP.

Oh. My. God. People, it's "SPIRE" and not "Spier!" Aaagh!

Wow, that was fast, Illinikrush! I wonder who we're getting back.

The Chicago Spier? ... was unavailable for comment (I know it's not exact, but still....)

QUOTE(bmags @ Jul 24, 2007 -> 11:12 PM) yeah, time zones are crazy. Greenie?

An attitude problem? Joe Crede? I think not. Joe Crede doesn't have an attitude problem. He has a Boras problem.

This was a nice game to stay up late and watch! Ryan Bukvich gets a temporary reprieve from being on my S--- List.

I don't (didn't?) mind Patrick. I don't see any similarities between him and Berman. Berman I don't like.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 12:41 PM) What would it take to really fix politics today and get away from this stuff? By the way, that's a serious question. 100% public financing for all campaigns.

Hunter could play on my team, but not for outrageous money. What does "outrageous" mean? I guess we'll have to see.

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste. A taste of honey tasting much sweeter than wine Spill the wine, take that girl Take your car, yes we will, we'll take your car and drive it. I've been waiting...I've been waiting for this moment all my life...but it's not quite right Something is wrong here! I don't belong here! My daddy he disowned me cause I wear my sister's clothes, he caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose. I see you shiver with antici... pation! Stop right there! I gotta know right now before we go any further. Do you love me? Will you love me forever? I'm in love but I sure picked a bad time to be in love. Even the bad times are good, as soon as i get to you, baby. Sixteen I fell in love with a girl as sweet as can be. Only took a couple of days till she was rid of me. Well, she used to run around with every man in town. Oooh Jackie, what fun you have had. Freaked out for another day. No fun, my babe, no fun. This is no social crisis. Just another tricky day for you, Fella. Mister America, try to hide the emptiness that's you inside. Forget about the brotherly and otherly love. Motherly Love is just the thing for you. The things that I used to do....Lord, I won't do no more. You know the sky, the sky's been cryin - Can't you see the tears roll down my nose? Oh, set me up with the spirit in the sky, that's where I'm gonna go when I die. You've blown it all sky high. And you can fly high as a kite if you want to. I want to get away, I wanna fly away. Straighten up and fly right. Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top. It's a family affair, it's a family affair. When you see me again I hope that you have been the kind of person that you really are now. But I always thought that I'd see you again.

Thanks and congratulations to all of you who make this site run so well.

eeeYES!!! This is great news! We can build for the future around our core of starting pitching.

Kap- I am extremely disappointed in you, and in the rest of the Fox News junkies who somehow find themselves capable of thinking the way you do. That's the only polite thing I can say.

Go Sox!!!

Up until the 8th, this was a great, fun game to watch. Then, yuck.

I'm just wondering why you went with "Buckwheat," when "Suckvich" is so obviously the better name....

Is it just my imagination, or did the bullpen show up with some pretty good pitching this trip? Great job, Garland! Paulie, keeping it up!

QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 29, 2007 -> 09:48 PM) I blame Balance. Hey, I had a pretty good first run.

I would be pretty outraged, myself, if the players' union blocked the potential deal here. After all, isn't the union supposed to be representing the players? Getting the players what they want? If Mark wants to stay here for less than what he could get if he becomes a FA, the union should respect his wishes. Otherwise, the union takes the position that it is each player's duty to get the most dollars, period--no other considerations may be made.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 29, 2007 -> 01:14 AM) 4/56 makes a lot more sense. I figured it would take 4/60, but I think the players union would leave it alone if 4/56 is the deal. Either way I think we will learn a lot tomorrow....well now today. Can the players' union actually block a deal, or can they just voice their displeasure with what they may feel is a "below market" deal?

I didn't expect to still be starting gamethreads today, but I'm glad I am. Let's go Sox!
