QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 23, 2011 -> 10:04 PM) Someone on MLBTR mentioned Sale for Rasmus. That's an interesting trade offer. I'd do it though. No way in hell I touch that deal.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Feb 24, 2011 -> 07:55 AM) When NBA teams make trades for draft picks, why don't they stipulate that the year of the draft pick can be any year within a specific window? Eg. In the Nuggets trade with the Knicks, it's pretty likely that the Knicks will improve and the 2014 1st round pick will be meaningless. A pick in the 20s that's guaranteed money doesn't appeal to me. Wouldn't it make sense for the Nuggets to say that they get one Knicks first round pick any season between 2012 and 2020 and the Knicks have no right to block? They can, and they do. For example the pick we got from Charlotte is lottery protected to some extent for the next few years.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Feb 24, 2011 -> 01:18 AM) Baron Davis and a 1st for Mo Williams and Jamario Moon. Look as if the Cavs are loading up on 1st rounders. The Clippers get out of Baron's contract (2/30M after this season), so they should have plenty of cap room from this off-season onwards. This looks like the wave of the future instead of unloading for free agency, you will load up on picks.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Feb 23, 2011 -> 05:36 PM) Just proves what all of us distinguished GOP thread posters knew all along, the calls for civility from the Democrat party and their media minions was just opportunistic rambling. Just like the filibuster complaints of obstruction.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 23, 2011 -> 04:37 PM) He's being kept alive by the blood supply in his cock That is a pretty strange thing to be the first thing to pop into your head.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 23, 2011 -> 02:11 PM) REMOVE THAT!!!!!!!!!! Or at least remove the D, because there was never any D in his game.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Feb 23, 2011 -> 11:44 AM) Anyone have any thoughts on Courtney Lee? Reports are that the Bulls are interested. I actually like him better than Mayo. Mayo has more upside, but I think Lee fits better for what the Bulls are looking for. I think Lee would be a better fit as a teammate and a person too.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Feb 23, 2011 -> 11:44 AM) girl friend my ass If she was seeing dollar signs evaporate, she could very well have told him to straighten up.

Does Poo-Holes have a no trade clause?

Wha?

Usually everyone doesn't get it.

Sounds like a punchline to me.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Feb 23, 2011 -> 11:17 AM) What would the rollbacks mean? NBA pays the remainder of the salary and the team cuts the player? In the NHL it meant every player took a fixed percentage paycut.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 13, 2011 -> 05:46 PM) I haven't seen anything to indicate that he has a degenerative condition or anything along those lines. He jammed his knee in 2004 and had some stuff cleaned up this past offseason. It doesn't appear that there is anything that is serious at all with regards to his knee. There is this from the other day. I know it downplays the shots, but I swear that they were talking about moving Mauer to 2B when he came up to the majors because of his knees. http://www.startribune.com/sports/twins/blogs/116729089.html

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Feb 23, 2011 -> 10:53 AM) strong owners and weak union means that owners are going to get basically what they want when the CBA is redone. It's reportedly one of the reasons the Bulls don't want to add any significant payroll before tomorrow, they're hoping to get a real good player when the hard cap is instituted and a team needs to shed a salary. Which is an interesting sidebar to all of this. The reality is, even if the Bulls added Melo and extended him. It would have meant that someone else would have to go in the future.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Feb 23, 2011 -> 10:38 AM) The NBA should contract any and all teams in non-major markets. The inmates have spoken and won. Hank?

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 10:23 PM) I'd like to see him put one past the concourse someday. So far the longest distant home run record at the Cell is still held by "Tortured by Borchard!" Dunn is listed as having hit a 535 foot homer off of Jose Lima. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/cin/ballpark/longest_hr.jsp

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 23, 2011 -> 09:59 AM) I don't know, I bet Pujols brings in $30 mil for the cards in revenue. It will be interesting to see how much revenue drops if he leaves. I bet it is less than $30 million. Cardinals fans are like Cub fans in that they are super loyal. Its not like Cleveland where the place would become deserted if the team didn't do well.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 23, 2011 -> 07:43 AM) I was waiting to do just that picture.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 06:35 PM) I read earlier that the IN dems did something similar about 15-20 years ago. Yeah, I remember it pretty well. It was over redistricting.

Ugh. The people of Chicago are such sheep
