I think Steve is about to pull out his +7 magic sword and stab TRU

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 12:15 PM) When he proposed, I hope he got down on his healthy knee. yeah the problem was when when he dropped back to propose, Clay Mathews came out of no where and hammered him.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 12:13 PM) They actually benefit by having a cheap, poorly run product as long as they can keep convincing people through high-pressure sales to sign up. Exactly. It would be much more interesting if there were high default rates so instead the federal government put a cap on how many/much loans it would make to a certian school. I bet educational problems in schools would become a much higher priority.

It would be interesting to work out a system that punishes universities whose students default more often then others. Even banks have to becareful who they loan to because it hurts their reserve totals if it happens. Universities literally face no consequences for having a bad product or bad decesion-making.

QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 11:46 AM) I was hoping for a nice ovation for Humber when he gave up his first hit, as is customary in most stadiums when an opposing pitcher has a fantastic game, but I didn't get the vibe that any of those cheers were for him. Yankee fans are notoriously narcissistic. That is pretty much New Yorkers in general.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 11:01 AM) LOL, I remember hearing he did that....what was his reasoning for that again?? Just superstition? Toughens up the skin supposedly.

This is interesting if for nothing else than I had no idea how much hedge fund managers had given to Dems until very recently, and how drastically that has changed. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405...LatestHeadlines

Interesting spin there...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 09:37 AM) What is up with people thinking it's normal in the NHL to intentionally try to injure opposing players, let alone goaltenders? I'm not talking about trying to injure him. I talking about getting traffic literally on top of him. Frustrate him.

Well there is assault with weapons in the bible, so this should be OK.

QUOTE (False Alarm @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 09:46 AM) seriously? no reason? no reason at all? i mean, sure, he might be 20. it's possible. i'll entertain the scenario. i could even imagine that there's, say, a better-than-even chance that he is in fact 20. but there are plenty of reasons to be suspicious of his age. you wouldn't even have to qualify the statement if there weren't. To be fair, it is much harder to lie about your age post 9-11. Notice how you rarely hear about it anymore?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 09:21 AM) I agree on Danks, but I'm not as ready to give up on Flowers yet. Catchers are much rarer, and much harder to give up on. Heck if Flowers is a decent defender now and can call a game, he could be a major leaguer for 10 years, even if he can't hit a lick.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 06:50 AM) As I mentioned elsewhere - I think the game thread, which has been archived - Santos threw 28.2 IP in the minors in 2009. It's a small amount of innings, but for s***s and gigs, I looked up his first 28.2 from last year. 1.88 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 4.7 BB/9, 10 K/9, .234/.341/.290/.631 against, .329 BABIP That is not including his next outing in Minnesota, where he got a blown save and went 0+ IP. His final 23 innings, including the Minnesota fiasco... 4.30 ERA, 1.70 WHIP, 4.3 BB/9, 9.4 K/9, .292/.364/.396/.760 against, .371 BABIP He had already been getting pretty unlucky on balls in play during the first portion of that, but it went to a monumental new height afterwards. .371 is entirely unsustainable and with any luck at all, his line looks a bit better. So, if that holds true, Santos should be pretty good this year until about September, but hopefully at that point his body is conditioned enough that it will be able to handle an extra 10-20 innings. He's definitely a keeper. You could tell he hit a wall at the end of last season. With the IP numbers he has, it is totally understandable. I hope he can make it through the season this year, especially if he is going to be the closer.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 10:30 PM) I have no problem saying that Dunn looked great at the plate today. His bat was just a little off, but you can tell that he is seeing the ball really well. Both balls he put in play were hit hard. That is a good sign.

QUOTE (since56 @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 08:06 AM) Go ahead and crucify me for this but, how about easing Peavey back by putting him in bullpen and leaving Humber in the rotation until he begins to falter. If Peavy is ready to start, and Humber is as good as he has been in his four starts, he would be huge for that pen. Humber would give the Sox a middle/set up guy that they could count on, besides Crain.
