JUAN PIERRE

Here you go... http://www.southsidesox.com/2011/6/21/2234...ays-until-dayan

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 10:58 AM) That was a greatly different Hawks team. You never know when one of these vets is going to jump on for a cheap 1 year deal to chase a Cup. This Hawks team as assembled fits that billing extraordinarily well. They are one of a handful of teams you have to look at as a Cup chase. If you can, sure you do it.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 10:54 AM) Felix might kill himself if Kahn makes that deal. At least he would still have the Sky...

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 10:47 AM) That too, but why wouldn't they just release him? I'm guessing he decided to quit. Yeah, that is kind of where I was going with that.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 10:45 AM) If I was a Timberwolves fan and somehow stuck with them the past few seasons, that trade would turn me off from the franchise for the next 5 seasons at the very least. No joke. They just need to move to Seattle now and get it over with because that franchise is DOA if that deal happens.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 10:45 AM) I guess something went sideways, because Bren hasn't been here in two weeks. She would've been here posting everyday if everything was okay. With all of the catchers the Sox just drafted, it probably doesn't look good for Chase.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) On where? facebook

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 10:24 AM) Some people around LA are talking about the Lakers and Minny trying to work out a trade involving Gasol. It has to be the most lopsided trade ever but I've heard some good NBA people on the radio commenting on it and they are indicating it has legs. Cowherd has been yapping about it this AM too. Gasol for Love and the #2 pick. That is ridiculous. Holy crap, where do I sign up for that deal?

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 10:21 AM) I've been trying to contact Bren to find out what's going on with Chase, but she hasn't responded. It looks like Chase hasn't even been on there for quite a while.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 10:19 AM) This, not to mention, wearing a nice watch has little to do with needing to know the time. It's no different than a gold necklace, or an engagement ring, etc...it's an accessory that's actually useful (unlike the others I mentioned), that can be passed down from father to son, etc...especially if it's nice, and taken care of. My Rolex has never been broken, and I've had it for more than 5 years, and it looks new, despite the fact that I never take it off, including during two week long camping trips to the boundary waters, swimming in oceans, working every day, and any other activities, etc... Honestly I hate wearing jewelry. The only thing I wear is my wedding ring. Rings, necklaces, watches etc, always feel awkward and unnatural on my.

QUOTE (NHDadUmp-RI @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 09:54 AM) "Players who fail to report to the team or who fail to sign an agreed-upon contract with the team. Players on this list do not count towards the Reserved List (40 man) or Active List (25 man) limits. Players on the restricted list do not receive pay, and may not sign with another team. A player may remain on this list for two consecutive years before he is removed -either activated or released. Often, placing a player on the Restricted List is akin to releasing him without fully relinquishing his rights." Ew, that's not good at all. Hopefully everything is all right there.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 09:27 AM) You show that life expetancy continues to increase, but for a specific region and gender, and you manage to take that as a sign of failing health care. Quite a leap, no? Also, look at the region where this is primarily occurring - mid-south and appalachia. I lived in the mid-south. The primary problem isn't access to good health care, its lifestyle choices. Fried foods galore, lots of booze, high % of smokers, all of course linked with poverty. If anything, I think the map suggests its worth investing in a fight against poverty, more than a fight against health care. And the best part is we are now going to be required to pay for it all.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 09:27 AM) Unfortunately, with the quality of GG voters out there, it wouldn't suprise me in the least to see Asdrubal win due to all those Web Gems. You'll have to kill Jeter first.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 09:18 AM) He can also get a contract extension out of winning the AL Central. If you can get your extension today, why would you wait? The Marlins could fill their job and you could lose the AL Central if you wait around.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 09:03 AM) Hell yes. I'm shocked that his name was not mentioned. For a guy with that type of size/athleticism and an awful J, to be hoisting deep shot after deep shot is obscene Another High School kid with zero discipline in his game. I mentioned this because it seems like the Bulls could be involved in a deal of this style moving draft picks to Orlando in exchange for one of the teams real shooting guards.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 09:14 AM) If Ozzie thinks this is a potential issue...then he should stop playing Juan Pierre! Why would he care if he thinks he can get a contract extension out of it?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 09:11 AM) But that's because Ozzie Guillen is making the decision himself! All of the while his boss keeps publicly stating that this isn't his call, so when/if it fails the whole world knows whose fault it is.

QUOTE (LayelBurton @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 08:55 AM) Add Round 45: Cory Farris, OF, 21, 6-0, 205, Cumberland University (Florence, Ky.) to the list. No article that I found, but he is assigned to Bristol. Listed as a Catcher? Got it. I also saw Chase in Bristol on the restricted list. What would that mean exactly?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 08:24 AM) I've been told that watch use amongst the younger generation is declining rapidly on account of the fact that everyone's cell phone has an accurate clock on it. I haven't owned a watch for at least 10 years, mostly for that reason.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 08:42 AM) No, utility savings on their own wouldn't make up for the gas prices of having to drive 30+ miles to get into a city on a daily basis. Gas prices are on a much more exponential trend than utility prices and should probably stay that way for the next few decades. But yes, charging a leaf from solar panels would work if you have a less than 40 mile drive per day and you could hook into a charger. Until all of the coal plants start going off of the grid in the next few years...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 09:00 AM) How on Earth is KW setting Ozzie up to take a fall? By giving Ozzie the exact players he asks for and then having the org mouthpieces defend them? Every time the roster comes up, especially when Viciedo and Pierre come up, Kenny mentions that Dayan isn't here because he doesn't have anywhere to play, because he believes in the roster he has. You don't see the 1+1 there?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 08:44 AM) He got his option picked up after yet another disappointing season in the offseason. It seems worth a shot to me. And no, I wouldn't put it past him. Think of it this way. You know your job is potentially in danger, and the general manager keeps setting you up for the fall. The one ally you have on the team is Jerry, and now you have a team that might be interested in you. I totally think think this leakk was Oney based.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 08:53 AM) Unless Jim Thome gets a PED suspension before he retires, he is an absolute lock. He should be a first ballot guy, hopefully he doesn't get lost in the noise of the steroid crap.
