QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 04:05 PM) Skimming the thread I initially read this as "Hawk's A Brief History of Time." Then imagined how ridiculous a book actually written by Hawk labeled "A Brief History of Time" would be. It would start with a chapter on Ted Williams

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 04:24 PM) Please tell me someone got this on film. I hope there is a youtube video going on of "Jackass slips on a pea". Unless he gets racked in the nuts, no one will care.

QUOTE (Real @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 03:45 PM) where did u hear there would be a 5pm announcement? I haven't. It used to be seemingly a tradition.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 03:24 PM) FIFY Yeah, the price points took me out. That $75 a person on top of the $250 for the hotel killed us.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 04:08 PM) via MGonzalez's twitter feed: I'd love a McCuddy's. There is plenty of Comiskey love around.

So does Kenny have something up his sleeve for 5pm today? If so, what is it?

QUOTE (Jake @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) Why no Mitchell with a non-roster invite, his poor AFL performance? No real need to yet. He is still probably a couple of years away.

So lets start getting the predictions!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 09:14 AM) I agree. I don't want to trade him now. Though we could net a pretty nice haul with him being under club control for two years. But I think you seriously have to consider dealing him next off-season if a long-term deal can't be worked out. I don't want the draft picks. I don't trust the Sox to properly utilize them anyway. But we have proven that we have the ability to raid other teams farm systems and come away with some pretty nice talent. With the Dunn signing, we have to go through this season and see what happens. If the team doesn't win the divison, Danks might well be the first guy I would trade if we can't get him to sign a long term deal.

The Bulls are the ultimate "play to your opponents level" team.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 06:00 PM) There's not a damn thing we could offer Denver outside of Noah and Rose. This is not even worth wasting a half a second over. We have no draft picks, young players [and when I say young players I mean impact young players] to offer, and no expiring contracts. We are what we are for now. 50-win team who's absolute ceiling is the ECF's. That's why three way deals are done. A team that comes to mind is Houston who was marketing the expiring deal of Yao.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 05:30 PM) I'm sure the White Sox will be thrilled if Morel turns out to be like Crede. I know I'd be thrilled. It would be rough to wait out the time for him to grow up if he took Joe's path though.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 05:00 PM) It's been talked about in 2 threads already. The Brent Morel one, and the Sox Offseasons News one too I think. And now it has its own thread. Welcome to the off season.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 04:44 PM) Crosshairs OVER THE PERSON WHO WAS SHOT being a possible link, while I disagree with it, makes some degree of sense to discuss. Abortion being related to this, at all, is a joke, and you know it. You are trying to characterize the silliness of the thread - which I agree with - but doing it in a way that is ridiculous on its face. This abortion doctor had the line between ok to terminate, and not ok to terminate skew. A lot of this could come from having to deal with the difference between the two being literally a day or two in some cases. Eventually it seems that the line went away all together, much like the Arizona shooter. Like I said, it seems just as apt as anything else we have heard so far as being a linear line of thought.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 10:57 AM) How many rookies come up after hitting around .330 at every level they've played at? That's the real question regarding these projections...how much does the batting average drop going from AA and AAA to the bigs? Here is an interesting comp http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/C/joe-crede.shtml http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/M/Brent-Morel.shtml

Pale 'n Hosed RT @ESPNChiSox Ozzie on whether Morel is his starter at 3B: "That would be a slap in the face of Teahen."

Pale 'n Hosed RT @ESPNChiSox Oz on whether or not his son Oney crossed the line with his Jenks' tweets: "yes he did."

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 02:11 PM) So by your description, the President has to only do things that change people's entire way of thinking? Kind of a ridiculously high bar to set. I'll say it, and this will sound harsh. I honestly think that if you look at the SOTU address, and its symbolism... and you look at the attempt by some in Congress to go bi-partisan in their seating and standing arrangements... and your reaction is that its all useless? Then you are bitter and jaded. One could argue that you are those things for good reason, given all the bulls*** that goes on, but that's what it is, and that's what that reaction is. That was actually Tex's analogy, but OK.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 04:23 PM) You're just being ridiculous now. You may not like what people posted - I know I didn't like a lot of it - but it was all at least somewhat on topic. Abortion? Come on. murder leading to more murder? I thought that was fairly apt. Its at least as apt as crosshairs leading to killing.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 09:40 AM) He wants an extension. The reason he's pushing a trade is so he can sign with the team he wants to now, as opposed to waiting for the collective bargaining agreement. I don't blame him if he doesn't want to go to the Nets. Carmelo has said and done all the right things as far as I'm concerned thus far and I'd love to have him on the Bulls. You'd better believe that whatever team trades for him is going to have an extension as a part of his coming there.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 01:30 PM) No. I think he's referring to linking a completely random story about some sociopath doctor. That is what the first couple days were all about in here.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 12:37 PM) I know I have posted this before, but I believe one of the greatest roles for the President is as cheerleader. Using Reagan and Clinton as examples. Reagan came on the heels of a scandelous Nixon, a clumsy Ford, and an inneffective Carter. Then Reagan comes riding into the scene on a horse, standing tall in the saddle, and America got it's swagger back. After a string of old guys, Clinton blows into office to Fleetwood Mac, amazing new technologies, and America regains its vitality and enthusiasm. Symbolic? Hell Yes. Make it a positive symbol showing that united we can do anything and consumer confidence starts to rise. Eh. We are halfway through this Presidency, and confidence is where now? I'm not sure what gets said that changes two years of non-believing, but OK
