QUOTE (qwerty @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 08:45 PM) Since ozzie guilen has been the white sox manager they have used the bullpen less than any other team in baseball. This should not be a worry, hardly anything to lose sleep over. Garbage is still garbage. Swapping garbage for more garbage helps in no way. If this were true he would be starting for someone in the major leagues. Garland is highly valuable considering his consistency innings wise. Currently he has a streak of nine years pitching 190+ innings. Six of those nine he reached 200 innings. There are not many of his ilk out there. When garland was making 10 million i wanted nothing to do with him, when he is making half of that, he is a damn fine addition to any rotation. That was pretty much the reaction to Borchard for Thornton.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 08:08 PM) Shaka needs to be praying that Tennessee offers him the job. He may be the next great thing but he needs to strike while the iron is hot. No joke. That window can be awful small.

I'm waiting for Clarence Carter to get cut. The problem is I hear the Sox like his stroke.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 07:30 PM) I just want to know when mighty Indiana basketball was reduced to waiting for high school juniors to arrive, and began giving coaches 4, 5, 6 years to prove their worth. I know Kelvin Sampson left a mess, but Crean is taking an awfully long time to "fix" it. I still want to see him doing something of relevance without Dwyane Wade. Again, unless you are a cheating piece of s***, it is impossible to rebuild a program from zero scholarship players to a Big Ten contender overnight. It has to happen a part at a time.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 04:55 PM) Great info. Long's release makes sense because there is a logjam with starting pitchers. Someone had to go. I'm kind of surprised they didn't put him back in the pen, since that is where he was when we drafted him.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 02:07 PM) And then he slammed their pitching coach on the way out. For a guy who doesn't have a job, that isn't the smartest move.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 07:35 PM) Not sure how you come to the conclusion that Peavy isn't a starter considering he's never once come out the bullpen in his entire career. He's not a shining example of a healthy pitcher, but once he gets back, he will be a starter. Beyond that, the White Sox have 4 other pretty damn good starting pitchers. Not many teams around the majors can state that. Even without Peavy, I'm taking the White Sox rotation over the Tigers (Verlander and Scherzer are better, but I don't trust Porcello, Penny, or Coke at all). Beyond that, Thornton has been an absolutely fantastic reliever throughout his career. And, if he fails as a closer, the Sox have Sale to go to. If he fails, they have Crain and Santos. The Sox are not without options closing. They will find someone who will get the job done and will do so more effectively than Bobby Jenks did last year. Personally, I'm glad that the Sox are going into the season with that kind of "question mark" opposed to the "proven commodity" in Jenks. I don't care if people are pessimistic, but jesus. --- Open your eyes, look up to the skies and seeeeeeeee (nobody starts reciting the greatest rock song of all time without me helping out) I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 04:31 PM) Is this real life? Is this just fantasy?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 02:03 PM) This ought to win a person coach of the year. Also I would have to say that Thibs deserves coach of the year more than Rose deserves MVP.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 02:01 PM) So yeah, who saw this coming? It is still very early. Kansas has some massive firepower. There isn't any reason they shouldn't win this game still.

Gonzalez updates Peavy will stay in AZ for a week, rejoin team on April 7, then need probably 3-4 rehab starts

QUOTE (Tex @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 01:34 PM) BTW, isn't it about time for you to get another job offer? That would figure, wouldn't it.

The search function is shutdown to save load on the site, so those aren't working either.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 01:19 PM) Is it too early to apply for jobs now if I graduate in may? Will companies even read past that part on my resume or cover letter? I'm not getting as much interest as I thought i'd get... Not trying to sound cocky. No, not at all.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 01:24 PM) Rios was quite a bit worse in teh 3 spot last year than he was further down in the order. (Likely because Ozzie bumped him upwards after his hot streak...but the point is, there's no reason from his stats last year to think having the big bat behind him will help.) Well no other reason than not wanting go around him with Dunn and Konerko hitting next.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 12:30 PM) Tennessee is more radioactive than Japan right now. Nicely done.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 12:16 PM) Because the kids he's locked up havn't arrived yet. They start next year with Zeller and Etherington, then 2012 the #1 class in the country arrives. Not fair to Crean to judge him quite yet. That is the other reason I think Crean has years still to go at IU. Why would you want to chance having these kids go somewhere else?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 12:47 PM) If no one else is going to do it, I should...as good as Rose was on the offensive end for the last 5 minutes, he was matched by Luol Deng on the defensive side. Dengs defense has never really been a question. He's always been pretty solid one on one.

They're practically Canadians anyways. Hosers.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 12:35 PM) The Rios from May last year, sure. I think he has a much better chance at being Rios from May with Dunn and Konerko hitting behing him, instead of someone like AJ.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 01:13 PM) Looks like it'll be 11 pitchers and both Lillibridge and Milledge making the team. Oh yeah, and Jeff Marquez may be going away for good so that's a plus. http://twitter.com/#!/MDGonzales/statu...069562719539200 Not a surprise at all. It amazes me exactly how hittable that guy is. Usually young guys get into trouble when they can't find the strike zone, not when they do. Marquez couldn't fool a 3 month old at peek-a-boo.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 12:51 PM) How do we define "Too big"? JR needs to make more money? I define too big as more than JR and company are willing to spend.

What is the attraction of rebuilding for people? This isn't fantasy baseball where you can play 20 years of baseball in a week. The last thing I want to see is 3-5 years of minor league baseball, with no guarentee that we can catch lightning in a bottle. Give me competing for a division title any year, even if it is with a flawed team. I've been through rebuilding multiple times. Rebuilding sucks.

So I am looking to cut some month to month costs and am thinking about buying a DVR from an electronics store. Do they differ at all from just renting one from Comcast?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 04:34 PM) that would briefly make it warmer, then rapidly make it colder (nuclear winter). But we wouldn't play there again for a really long time.
