QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 09:25 AM) I wonder, especially if a long lockout starts, if this might not be the last we see of Jason Kidd. He said he wanted to play another 2 or 3 years.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 12:56 AM) I start my 1st day of work tomorrow. Hello, real world. QUOTE (MuckFinnesota @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 09:18 AM) I also begin my first day of work at my internship in less than 45 minutes. I'm nervous but I am excited and ready to hit the ground running. Good luck guys!

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 12:57 AM) Still would love to see a team in Indy, and I believe they would support one too. Indy reached the 540,000 attendance mark for the 14th straight year. You'd have to find a way to multiply that times four to make them a viable franchise in MLB.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 10:12 PM) Carlos Torres is pitching for what amounts to the AAA team for the Tokyo Giants. Well that tells you what you need to know about Torres chances that he could have helped this Sox team.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 11:51 PM) I could only imagine where the team would be in the standings if we had won the Santos meltdown game and the one Peavy got the groin strain (there was no doubt we were going to win that one)... that could have been us trailing only by 1.5 GB... how frustrating My point is in talking about these other games is that it is just as easy to find the games we had no business winning. Over a season, it all equals out.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 10:23 PM) Did we deserve to win the 3rd game of the series? No clutch hits, scoring on WPs & errors, and having to take back home runs to win the game. It doesn't matter how you win though, just get it done Good point. Those are the games everyone forgets about. Instead everyone remembers Santos giving up four in the 9th with two outs, two strikes, and no one on base.

QUOTE (Bighurt52235 @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 09:17 PM) Oh, so the team that was outscored by 5, walked guys with the bases loaded, and dropped foul balls deserved to win. That usually makes sense. I'm looking at what we did to deserve to win it. The score was really not accurate as to the game that was played on the field. We got lucky as hell.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 08:34 AM) I would be surprised if we didn't resign him. He had his best years here. It wouldn't surprise me at all, if he makes it through waivers.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 07:26 AM) Nice to see Cooper receiving national recognition for what all of us have known about him for a while now. Yep. It is easy to point out the Mike McD's of the world and use that against Cooper, but when you look at how many careers he has saved, not many others can say that at all.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 12:59 AM) So what about Konerko? Career seasons at the age of 34 and now 35? Do we have to suspect he's on something? The biggest difference is that Konerko didn't have the big lull that the other guys had.

The premise here is silly. If Kenny got a directive to cut salary, this would be a firesale. There really isn't going to be an in-between here.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 12:31 AM) Good findings, Oilcan. Can we officially update the 1st page with these, or are they not "officially" signed? I've got the page updated with those who are being assigned there.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 08:36 PM) I keep seeing everyone posting this...and I didn't see that game, but I was following it online and saw we won like 9-4 or 9-5 or something. How do you win by that score and not deserve it? There were THAT many dink hits? Dink hits, BB with bases loaded, HBPs, dropped foul ball that led to runs... Realistically, we didn't deserve that game.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 06:38 PM) I will take one of these losses in every 4-game series if that means they are the "1" when we win them 3-1. Realistically, we didn't deserve to win the first game of the series, and Oakland didn't deserve the second. It evens itself out.

Dunn is really starting to look more dangerous. Even his foul balls are getting hit hard.

Nice to see the Sox take advantage of the mistakes over this series and pull out 3/4

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 11:19 PM) We no longer have an excess. They may as well call everyone. We will in a week to 10 days. And pretty much better than just about anyone else could offer

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 10:34 PM) Pujols is the ultimate trump card, obviously. But you don't contend year after year like they do because of one man. Especially in a sport as unpredictable as baseball. Take this year for example: obviously the Berkman signing has been fantastic. But look at how their farm has come through for them. Matt Holliday goes down? No problem. Enter Jon Jay and his .313/.370/.438/.807 OPS in LF. Skip Schumaker sucks? Enter Allen Craig and his .928 OPS at 2B. What do you say? You mean Ryan Frankin isn't getting the job done at closer? No sweat. Enter Fernando Salas and his 1.88 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 30 Ks, 11/12 save/save oppos in 28 IP. Wait, need a set-up man? Enter Edjuardo Sanchez and his 1.95 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 33 Ks and 5 saves in 27 2/3 IP. Nobody knew who Jaime Garcia was 18 months ago. Now he's one of the top young 25 and under starting pitchers in baseball. David Freese has done nothing but rake the last two years when healthy. That's how you do it. That's why the farm is so important and why I stress that ad nauseum. They're not calling on the Lucas Harrell's, Jeff Marquez's and Dallas McPherson's of the world. That team will look completely different if Albert Poo Holes isn't holding it up.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 03:10 PM) I have not heard that, which obviously doesn't mean it's not the case. I do know there's wonky rules with shipping wine. As a matter of a fact, I am pretty sure Bill Wirtz was the dbag at the center of it.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 08:02 PM) it's just a bluff, but I'm sure Quinn will fold and give into their demands. No doubt.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 07:20 PM) Because the only thing the press cares about more than a misbehaving democrats penis is a missing white woman. Corruption? Ha! Yeah, I don't get it at all. Rangel is dirty as hell, Weiner is a dumbass with a fun name for forth graders. I guess we know where that ranks the MSM.
