QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 02:37 PM) One of KW's few excellent moves of late and a worthy replacement of Putz. Glad we got him for two more years. When you look at what JJ and Putz got, Crain is a great deal.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 02:28 PM) I was thinking the same thing with the Rasmus rumors. Is he in the pen? Let the rumors really begin!

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 02:23 PM) Maybe that's why acquiring players from losing organizations is not always a good thing. Neither is listening to Joe Cowardly.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 02:13 PM) He threw the bat at the ball hoping either to A. make a little contact so the guy wasn't a dead duck or B. distract the catcher. Its a waste.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 02:11 PM) Except for the $300 billion+ a year the Feds chip in through the Health Insurance Tax Deduction? And what percentage of total funding is that?

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 02:10 PM) When have they done exactly that? We deal prospects for major leaguers all of the time. Then we spend years giving the woe is me over the ones that got away.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 02:08 PM) Disagree, it's cause they've given up hope in Morel. No way. If that was the case, Omar would be over there.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 02:09 PM) It was a pitch out on a hit and run. Why swing?

Wow Omar blew that one.

ESPY! I really think the only reason he is playing lately is to try to sucker someone into trading for him.

That's what speed can do. Too bad you have to be on base to steal...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 02:03 PM) Makes as much sense as saying that Medicare will. Because the private system isn't funded by taxes, then again that is the whole point for you.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 02:02 PM) This is the benefit of a minor league system worth a damn. They develop Rasmus, who was considered among the league's top prospects, then several years later produce another player to supplant him. And now, they have the luxury of dealing a player they don't need for several pieces to help them contend. Yet if the Sox do exactly that, they are some kind of idiots...

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 01:58 PM) If you seriously are unhappy with 6 innings 2 runs out of your starting pitcher, and say that you wont miss him after a start like that, I dont even know how anyone can take the post seriously. "Quality Start"

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 02:00 PM) Well clearly he knows who Will Ohman is, so he's watched something. Nah, he reads game threads.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 01:57 PM) The private market will go insolvent before Medicare, since private insurance costs are still growing faster than Medicare. Dumping a bunch of 65-66 year olds into the more expensive system will make that exponentially worse as well. The private market will go insolvent? Really?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 01:55 PM) John Jay? Which is the whole reason they are looking to deal him (if the rumors are true.

Nice time for a DP!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 01:46 PM) Yeah. We need to turn that trend around by having a boatload of uninsured 65-66 year olds. Once we do that and get rid of the individual mandate, we'll get that life expectancy going the right way. So will we when the plan goes insolvent.

Like you know anything about that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 01:42 PM) Was it the sun that caused him to drop it? Looked more like he got his feet tangled up when he turned around. DJ was convinced it was that and the soft footing on the warning track.

Farmer on Carrera in CF "I didn't see him pointing to the sky on that one..."

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 01:38 PM) Do you actually believe that's going to happen with Dunn or Rios? Is 100+ games not enough? With Dunn, it will happen. You're talking about 100 games, I am talking about 1500 games.

We'll take that.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 01:35 PM) Hahaha walk to get to Dunn Why wouldn't you?
