QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 25, 2011 -> 11:44 AM) Like Tony Pena? You are actually making my point for me. They got rid of the cheap guy because it was easy. $3 million guys are easier to move than $12 million guys, just like it is easier to move a guy making $400,000 versus $3 million.

Aha!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 25, 2011 -> 11:07 AM) I disagree. If he was only making $3 million, they would have been more likely to let him stick around and see if he can work out of his long slump. He is also the easiest to get rid of. With the guy making a lot of money, he is much harder to trade.

Yeah it figures. Good cover story "liberal".

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 25, 2011 -> 10:52 AM) If Rios was making $3 million instead, then he'd still be a member of the Toronto Blue Jays. The only reason they put him on waivers and let the Sox claim him was because his salary was so high. It is much easier to get rid of a guy making very little. They probably would have sent him packing quicker.

We are only a couple of hours from game time, and line ups are out, so I am getting this up. RT @MDGonzales Sox lineup; pierre lf, ramirez ss. Q dh, PK 1v, rios cf, castro c, lillibridge rf, beckham 2b, morel 3b, floyd p: Dunn day off in advance

Why you must be part of the vast right wing conspiracy.

Dunn

QUOTE (Bighurt52235 @ May 25, 2011 -> 10:00 AM) Haha. I know it was a weird post. I like to say unconventional things. I just don't worry about other people's expenses, unless we're talking NBA. So far nobody has said what would be different this year if Rios was making $3 mil instead. Also, I can't fathom that if we run the parallel universe where everything was as it is now, only KW doesn't put in a claim on Rios, that 2011 Cell ticket prices would be different. If Rios were making $3 million a year, we probably spend more money in the bullpen in the off-season. Maybe Putz is resigned, or someone else is brought in.

Unlikely that was actually true.

Serves quiche right.

Quiche couldn't survive in this weather.

Oh I was only going for a local case. Just don't cross statelines like that.

Maybe after I call the police so that they can see as well...

Kindly make it quick!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 25, 2011 -> 09:20 AM) It saddens me... after the Bulls ended, I checked the Sox, saw the delay was still on, went to the game thread and people were talking about the park being evacuated and the game being called. Wake up to find I missed a heck of a finish. Go Sox. I thought there was no way this was getting played either. Glad to see the W for sure.

I see that, now put your pants back on!

Good job BS, feel the anger

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 25, 2011 -> 06:22 AM) There are guys out there who are unrestricted who could work. Problem is, the Heat will get first choice. I hope the new salary cap destroys that team.

Dallas is going to be my temporary favorite basketball team from the looks of it.

QUOTE (Maxwell @ May 25, 2011 -> 04:19 AM) On the third bomb carlos hit that fat lady right in the gunt. Your what hurts?

Nice post Wite. Q just looked dangerous last night. If he is hitting line drives, he is going to win us a lot of games.

Korver and Deng were open on the wing and corner respectively. Bad read by Rose.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2011 -> 09:55 PM) Terrible call! Haslem slid right into him. His back foot was in the circle too
