QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 10:39 AM) Sox are responsible for his entire contract, right?? I am pretty sure he has got to be under a million dollars, if that. This is a guy who signed a minor league deal to come here.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 09:56 AM) I'm wondering if there is a story behind the story. I know he sucked in LF yesterday, but they watched him play all spring. I'm guessing it is a comination of Milledge having an option, most likely to not be claimed, doesn't play CF, isn't the best speedster, and we really need another pitcher.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 08:52 AM) I'm sure if I dug around enough I could find enrollment rates by area of study. The data I've seen only specifies level of education. Even at non-HS or HS graduate levels, minority unemployment is significantly higher. I would be surprised if minorities were so severely overrepresented in 'less demand' fields of higher education that it resulted in 100% increase in unemployment, though. BTW, Y2HH is the WORST poster on the internets. I would bet money that the difference falls right around the difference in convictions rates.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 10:30 PM) My sister in law IMs me on Facebook chat: Her: "It's past your bedtime!" Me: "I know, I'm about to go f*** your sister" I so need to do that to my SIL. Its bad enough that I have changed her name on the caller IDs to "Its Her Again".

QUOTE (YASNY @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 10:13 AM) Now the USGS is saying they had TWO 7.4 quakes. Wow. Hopefully everyone is OK, but this is scary. Its crazy to think in this case, these are probably aftershocks.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 09:54 AM) 7.4 is pretty massive, though no 8.9. Anyone know how bad this tsunami will be? It all depends on how much land displacement took place.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 09:47 AM) Precisely. I think the big difference here is that I do think Matt will be a 40 save a year type closer if he is given the job.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 10:03 AM) we certainly needed another bullpen arm (with the state of this pen...we certainly need to carry 12 pitchers, not 11), but its a joke that lillibridge is on this team instead of milledge...so im guessing there was something this guy did that didnt win him favors in the clubhouse We have to have at least one back up OF who can actually catch the ball. Seeing as Teahen isn't going anywhere, it has to be Milledge. Plus no one else can play CF.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 08:31 AM) Nevin Griffith is still only 22? Wow. It'd be nice if he showed the potential that made him a high draft pick this year. He has got to find a way to stay healthy.

The only reason I want to see someone other than Matt close is because the Sox aren't going to be able to use him in innings 5-8 as needed now. That versility was huge. Games aren't always decided in the 9th.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 09:26 AM) Eh, he's our best back up defensive of. Keep Q's bat in the lineup while improving the d in the outfield after yesterdays terrible performance, I'm ok with it. I know I am not pining for Milledge after the disaster that he has been defensively. I sure don't remember hearing reviews like that before about him being THAT bad out there. Anyways, why not go with Rios in RF and Lilli in CF? I think the team is better overall defensively like that.

Lilli in Right? Ugh.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 07:19 AM) I will be in attendance. Win. I won't. Fail.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 08:51 AM) Apparently one bloop hit has determined that Matt is not closer material. Duh.

Can't say again how important that two points was. The Hawks control their own fate over this weekend. Let's see what they are made of.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 05:39 PM) Didn't help that Brian had one of the biggest mechanical flaws you'll ever see in a hitter. Yeah, the area between his ears.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 04:59 PM) 7 runs in 5 games, Longoria on DL, lost Crawford & Pena, Manny/Damon are showing their age so far Take a look at today's lineup, not very scary in the least And if you think our pen is bad...

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 04:03 PM) Sale would be better as a closer. He has 2 above average pitches, AJ just puts down 1 finger when Matt pitches That's funny, usually when Ohman is pitching I put up one finger...

What? You don't pinchrun for your cleanup hitter 1B as the tying or go ahead run!

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 03:51 PM) So none. Cool. Seriously, since you two missed the admins warning the first time, STFU. We get it, you don't agree. Now either argue in PMs or be suspended.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 03:49 PM) Where's that Royals fan with his broom now???? Doing his job at the stadium...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 03:47 PM) You have to PR there, even with a depleted bench. Konerko or Lillibridge as the lead run at 3b? No contest. Lilli scores on a 2b. #winning

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 03:43 PM) Yet giving away Gio, Carter, and DLS for one year of Swisher and then getting no useful parts back doesn't make it a debacle of a trade? You look at the lack of depth in this organization, and that trade plays a pretty important part in it. I never said anything about the trade to get him here.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 03:34 PM) Away? You wanted to keep him? I can't think of anyone on here who wanted to keep him. Plus with the way the FA market crumbled because of the financial crisis, there was no one taking on salaries and giving back real prospects at that time. Anything else there is revisionist history.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 03:32 PM) Kenny's worst move ever. And that's saying quite a bit. As he hasn't made a good one since before the '08 season. Drafting, signing, and calling up Gordon Beckham and Chris Sale? Signing Adam Dunn? Signing Jesse Crain? Not signing Jenks to the deal that Boston did?
