I didn't see it said on here but an arbitrator gave Campolli $2.5 million, the Hawks said no thanks, and now he is a FA>

Wow, I heard about this I had only heard about the bombing early on. How incredibly sad.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jul 23, 2011 -> 10:36 AM) http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.s..._of_aggres.html more story at link, but that it the main jist of the article. This is the guy that earlier in the year sent pictures of himself dressed in a tiger suit to staffers. SOunds like something out an improv comedy sketch.

QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jul 23, 2011 -> 01:10 AM) They probably have the best offense in the Central. .300 hitter after .300 hitter. Pitching, however, is another story. All hitting and no pitching... That usually doesn't work out well.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 23, 2011 -> 02:11 AM) Sending down a player who can play 4-6 different positions, depending on how you view him at SS and 3B, who has a bit of pop in his bat and hustles his ass off sounds like the exact type of move that is going to spark a team to a division clinching run. Lillibridge is out of options anyways and he's too valuable as a member of the bench to be outrighted. He's not going to go anywhere. Lilly shouldn't go anywhere. He is very important to this team

Well Q must have heard no one was offering a top prospect and became insulted.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 11:17 PM) I love that this thread was started by the guy who said "I'm out" in the the 3rd Not that there's anything wrong with that...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 11:03 PM) I had to look it up and I guess DiMaggio didn't make it til his 4th attempt. Why? I don't know, but that seems like more than your standard political statement. I honestly wonder why. That is just crazy.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 11:07 PM) JPosnanskiJoe Posnanski Something you probably didn't know unless you're a Cubs fan: Starlin Castro leads the National League in outs made AND errors. Hmm, should we start the Juan Pierre jokes?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 11:07 PM) And that would be kinda sad. Considering the other three teams in the running suck ass. It'll be like a bye week for the Yankees or Red Sox. Detroit sucks ass just as much as anyone else in this division. They have Verlander and Cabrera and 23 levels of suck.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 06:52 PM) I didn't say that. I said he's been awful. And I'm not giving him an automatic pass because of the injury. I didn't expect him to be Mike Trout. But his performance has been quite discouraging. Of course. You aren't changing your expectations at all. And it is funny you mention Trout, because every time Mitchell comes up, you mention Trout. Yes, it sounds like that is exactly what you expect.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 05:11 PM) Those first two weren't?! I'm pretty sure Foxx wasn't because he wasn't in the intial class of like Ruth, Cy Young, Ty Cobb and company.

Clinton was Clintanious.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 08:14 PM) But that's "saving" us dumbass Amurrikkkans from ourselves. People don't deserve saving!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 10:08 PM) It's not the news media they care about, they own enough of that. It's wall street that matters. They're the only ones who can say enough and have the teaists listen. You can tell by all of the reporting about hte REpublicans holding Barack hostage that they totally own the media...

The one thing I am sure of is that Detroit will not win the division.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 07:50 PM) I don't think theyd have described it that way if it was just the opinion of Gonzalez and not something deeper. Then again they didn't "break" the story until after the drainage became public.

SUCK IT CLEVELAND!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 04:08 PM) Again, the Tribune this morning said that any attempt to DL Dunn regarding his knee would be "Suspicious". If they drained his knee they have a pretty good medical reason. That is much more convincing than a guy watching from the press box's opinion.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 03:47 PM) I'll say it - I wouldn't vote for him on his first ballot. If Joe DiMaggio, Jimmy Foxx and Roberto Alomar aren't first ballot Hall of Famers then neither is Jeter. The Roberto Alomar thing was just stupid, and essentially another media stunt.

@MDGonzales Dunn had left knee drained Monday, says he feels better

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 03:39 PM) Would you say he's the single most deserving hall of fame candidate in baseball history? If not, then he shouldn't be unanimous. You don't vote as a pack, you vote as an individual. You have no idea what the rest of the voters are doing. You are supposed to decide as individuals on the merit of each person on your ballot. This idiotic idea of worrying about others votes it just an exercise in notice me journalism. That way you get to write something about being the person who stopped Derick Jeter from being unanimous, thus whoring yourself onto Jeter's legacy.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 03:00 PM) If I had a Hall of Fame vote, I would withhold it merely for having had to be exposed to this article: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writ...amp;hpt=hp_bn10 God, I hate New Yorkers. You pretty much have to be a d-bag to not vote for him. The guy is the very definition of a Hall of Famer.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 03:22 PM) And its my opinion that there are going to be less casualties this way. Im not sure how you can prove this either way. Its not so clear cut as to believe there is an absolutely right answer. People die in war, Im not sure if I ever suggested otherwise. Its a question of how many people would die, and once again, there is really no way to know if more would have died getting involved or not. I'm with you. I err on trying to save people, instead of letting them die without trying.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 02:57 PM) If the default option when you don't know is getting involved in a many month long war with seemingly no sign of letting down, progress whatsoever, or plan for how to accomplish your goals...then you've got your policies wrong. And yet this is our plan for spending trillions in social programing every year in this country.
