QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 09:26 PM) The distinction is just a way of insulting me to get around the rules. It's the same as saying your wife is "acting" like a b****. Gets the same point across while leaving an escape to back out of. "I didn't say you were a b****, honey, just that you were acting like one." It's semantics. For the 900th time, Cutler's doubters aren't insulting anyone else or their arguments. His supporters in this thread are being beyond defensive. Wonder why. QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 09:28 PM) Is he posting here? I will gladly apologize to him. Use your own reply.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 09:11 PM) This. It's a night and day difference to be honest. Its like the conversation about the Bears O-line. Rose isn't f***ing horrible anymore on the D end. It still doesn't mean he is good.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 09:19 PM) Here we go again. Enough with the insults. I'm not mad at all. It was a joke. The point still stands that the video pointed out nothing. You just called the guy in the video a retard.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 12:21 PM) You can easily walk on that injury, most people can walk relatively easily on a torn ACL. You just have to be careful and dont have as much mobility though. Actually easier than an ACL, but that would ruin the narrative.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 01:33 PM) Too good not to share. Watching about every single Bulls game (except when the Hawks are on), I can't call Rose an average defender. The guy still has no idea how to play the pick and roll, which is going to be shoved down the Bulls throat in the playoffs.

I really want to see Pompei and Herculanium.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 08:11 AM) Why was the separate MLB subforum dumped? Gage dumped it to keep more talk on the main board in the off-season when nothing was going on. It will be back for the regular season, as I understand it.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 25, 2011 -> 10:31 PM) Sox took Mitchell at 23. Angels took Trout at 25. Just sayin'. Mitchell also just missed an entire year due to a game related injury.

So did the IL supreme court rule today?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 26, 2011 -> 06:23 PM) I would expect nothing less than this from somebody with your post count. But to me, the main Sox board should be reserved for White Sox related topics. And this has become a reoccurring theme around here of late. Just ditch the MLB thread all together if we're going to create threads for every little non-related Sox topic. Again, what is the big deal? Hell if anything this is easier for you to ignore because all of the relevant information is located in the topic title and description. Instead it turns into a chance for you to lob some more cheap shots at people for no particular reason, over nothing. Why the attitude when anyone dares question you anymore? If you want to be edgy and bitter, you really should expect it. That's the way Soxtalk has always been.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 26, 2011 -> 05:57 PM) Actually, yeah. Bartolo Colon is not a member of the White Sox and hasn't been for well over a year. I don't see why the Yankees signing him to a minor league deal warrants it's own thread on a White Sox board. I could post-pad and jam up the board all day if I wanted. This is clearly something better left off in the MLB discussion thread. Eh, I don't see why you would waste your time on thread policing what exactly has to go into the MLB thread. Talk about a waste of time.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 26, 2011 -> 05:51 PM) FWIW, Cecil Fielder's last solid season was when he was 32 (.834 OPS over a full year). Daddy also never got a contract like sonny-boy is going to get. Prince is going to make his dads entire career earnings in under two seasons with his new deal.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 26, 2011 -> 03:38 PM) Did this really warrant its own thread? Did it really warrant a complaint?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 26, 2011 -> 08:51 AM) Here's the 2 differences...Pujols will be 32 next season, while Fielder will be 27 1/2, and Pujols may well get a contract 3-4 years longer than Fielder. That said...Pujols has been so much more consistent...I'm just not sure I'd be thrilled about spending $25 mil a year on either of them, especially if I were a national league GM. I bet Pujols at 37, out hits Fielder at 32.5.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 26, 2011 -> 01:30 PM) Interesting. Don't see why the Indians would deal Camona with their current SP situation. He's relatively cheap and had a very solid '10. Maybe they're trying to sell high in the event he reverts back to his '08/'09 form. Trading Sizemore right now would be foolish. As his value is at its lowest, and I can't imagine any team giving up anything that would be better than just seeing if he can bounce back and be the player he was two years ago. Why keep any player with a salary in Cleveland? They suck, and their future isn't for years.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 26, 2011 -> 07:26 AM) I dunno about that...they're both going to get an awful lot of money, but Pujols might well hang around playing the field for longer than Fielder, and it's a tossup which one will hold together better over the length of a contract. Give me Pujols anyday of the week. Fielder looks like he will get Carlos Lee syndrome.

QUOTE (thedoctor @ Jan 25, 2011 -> 04:15 PM) more hated here: oney or cowley? Yes

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 06:55 PM) That's what would have bothered me most if I were a Bears fan. The guy was walking around with no discernible limp and didn't look like he was in any pain. If he was told that they were going with the backup I would have wanted to see him go nuts on the sideline telling Lovie that there's no way he's sitting this one out. I'd like someone to correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure the MCL and ACL both stabilize the knees on sideways movements. Walking straight forward and standing aren't bothered like sideways movements are. I know we had a guy in our softball league tear his ACL and MCL in a game who tried to keep playing. He could stand without pain, and walk without pain, but he went sideways at all, his knee literally collapsed.

I'm locking this before it goes too much further...

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 01:13 PM) The timing of Daly's decision is what screws this up. Most folks that are going to run for an office usually live there when they decide to run. I also would like the Mosely Braun contingency to change their stance and back Watkins as from what I have read is as qualified as any. This could be a good thing or a bad thing. Odd thing, Rahm does not have a job right now. Explain that please!

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 03:52 PM) I just want to point out that 2 pages into this topic, and the next day after it was posted, I cannot find a single item anywhere on the web talking about this. Not one, other than here. Source? They are talking about it on the Score this morning.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 12:11 PM) Holy Frijoles! Seriously was not expecting that. I believe this will now be appealed to the IL SC. Very interesting. I can't believe it happened in the state of IL. I await all of the stories about the judges political affiliations.

I think Skiles has set a personal best for losing a team.

QUOTE (ChiTown @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 09:50 PM) NFC f***ING CHAMPS!!! Next time have the decency to message someone letting them know they were banned, enjoy your loss Um, if you were banned, you couldn't post here.
