QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ May 9, 2011 -> 08:52 AM) What if Konerko spent 12-15 years with the Yankees instead of the White Sox, would that make a difference? Considering he had the same stats. I don't know. I'm just playing the devil's advocate. Don Mattingly didn't make it either.

Happy Mother's Day can't be stated any better than a trip to the buffet!

It is nice to see two White Sox winner threads on the front page again...

I don't know if anyone posted this yet, but when we saw Felix in Seattle, the Sox had matched up with 9 of the top 12 Cy Young award finishers in the 33 games they had played to that point.

The Bulls just flat could not execute offensively at the end of that game. That hardly ever happens.

Not a chance.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 7, 2011 -> 04:27 AM) I am certain there is a lot of that. But look at how kids dress, act, etc. it is all influenced by pop culture. When the culture celebrates something, it encourages that behavior. That's been going on forever. That's why products use celebrity endorsements. Be like MJ and wear Hanes. Be like the girls on TV. How many kids went out and did jackass stunts? Heck how many kids were named "Jordan"?

Damn you kids and your fancy abbreviations. When I was your age we just used words. AND WE LIKED IT!

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 8, 2011 -> 07:26 PM) He's still dead ... yes! On a side note, I've often wondered why these MF terrorists have yet to attack a US sports stadium. I know there was a movie about some stadium getting hit, so the idea has to be out there. Some of these wildly successful college basketball or football teams ... can't you see "security" being lax midway through the third quarter of a football game at Nebraska or Bama or somewhere and bam a hit? Or a Kentucky basketball game or something midway through the second half when "security" is watching the game. It's human nature for "security" at those games to think all is well way through the meat of the ballgame. Just wonder why these scumbag MF terrorists haven't gone that route? Of course I did read Bin Laden was planning on hitting a train route in the future in the US so these terrorist pricks must have continuous discussions of where to hit us. I personally hope we can keep these bastards off our soil forevermore. If it were the easy, it would have been done long ago.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 9, 2011 -> 05:52 AM) When anything that happens, good or bad, is soon hijacked and spun for or against one political party? It seems like the past couple decades Americans would rather trash anything good the other party does or excuse anything bad their party does. It seems that we're all about scoring points for our team, even if it is bad for our country. I'll bet you money, you grab stuff from the news and spin it for your history class daily to make historical points.

If this were Mythbusters, this would be Verified.

Seriously of all of the overreaction threads this is #1 with a bullet. There has been no better title this year.

QUOTE (ptatc @ May 6, 2011 -> 10:44 PM) Walker learned under Lau and Hriniak as well. Thomas had that front swing that only he Aaron and Clemente could use. He could talk philosophy but not mechanics. I was just going to say this...

David Schuster Not since Sherman has anybody torched Atlanta like Rose did Friday night

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 6, 2011 -> 03:37 PM) Depends on how you draw the baseline. We've probably spent more money on defense in the last 10 years than we did during the whole Cold War. It depends on if you want to adjust for inflation or not.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 6, 2011 -> 03:15 PM) You don't think a qualified GM is going to talk the price down, even a tiny bit, by bringing the record into it? Really? Yeah, but it also only takes one idiot GM trying to win a division to blow that up.

QUOTE (Real @ May 6, 2011 -> 02:05 PM) why are you deflecting and avoiding my point? and if I had said it last year, how would it have been wrong? does the MLB award the division to the first team to go 25-5? This team is TOAST, stick a fork in 'em! Apparently they disqualify anyone who starts 11-21.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 6, 2011 -> 03:14 PM) Ugh, $6 million for next year? He's going to be impossible to move. He took a discount for $2 million this year to help out the payroll.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 6, 2011 -> 03:10 PM) As stupid as it may seem to the majority of us, we almost definitely would receive less for Danks because of the bad record. Eh, if you don't get a big haul for him, you sit on him until the winter. He isn't even making that much this year.

I hate Bud Selig and his "I don't have the power" bulls***.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 6, 2011 -> 02:22 PM) Still love Big Bang Theory but ready for Pria to go away. All though I am loving Sheldon's girlfriends bigger role. She is awesome.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ May 6, 2011 -> 01:54 PM) Down around 97 right now. Yeah, and it even tested 100 by trading as high as 102 during the session. That is a good psychological sign.

I thought this was disproven? http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2011/04/2012...medium=facebook
