QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 12:16 PM) Well that's sick, but also completely unrelated, and nice baiting in there too. No one has even brought up the topic, let alone defended the guy. The death penalty hasn't been brought up? It has in this thread. And that isn't anymore off topic than any of the random blame game in here.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 11:03 PM) Heat are 0-4 since the Karma tweet. LeBron ankle sprain. Bosh ankle sprain. Wade got roughed up. Now Mario Chalmers left practice with an ankle sprain. Karma hit LeBron hard. Ha And Ha

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 08:38 AM) This is common with a lot of southsiders as SSK25 attested. It is definitely a Bridgeport-ish thing. I have heard it myself, long before Barack. The other acceptable deviation is "Sox Park".

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 07:48 AM) Thanks! I loved it. I absolutely despise B&B. If this was a caller, instead of Abbatacola they would have cut him off and then ripped on him and finished their argument. I have no idea how those guys have this show. Dan usually just belittles his callers and Boers is just like his puppet repeating his lines. The only time I hear those idiots is when I get back in my car in the evening and the radio is still on 670 from Mully and Hanley in the morning. Then after about 5 minutes Bernstein says something arrogant and yells at a caller and I realize I'm listening to those morons and change the station. I can't stand that show either. And this is coming from a guy that has migrated over there with Dan McNeil.

I would be shocked if he hits like that.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 08:08 PM) Heard on the Score that Twins re-signed Pavano. Edit- Here. 2 years, $16.5 million. Let's just hope for a repeat of his last multi-year deal performance...

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 09:02 PM) What the hell are you talking about? You're not making any type of sense. Did I compare Republicans to al-Qaeda or something? The art of cherry-picking that Balta seems to have perfected.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) You don't know that and that argumetn could just as well be made with Peavy There is a big difference between a chronic injury and a freak one.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 08:07 PM) The way you react is so disproportional to what I said. You made it sound like I use the word "Republican" as if it was the N-bomb or something. Show me the top 5 - hell, top 10 Tea Party principles on things like taxes, the Constitution, limited government, and property rights (as given in speeches, op-eds, TV appearances, essays, literature, political endorsements, and any other effort to publicize the movement, and not one person's opinion on what it means to them) and I will show you the Republican Party since at least 1980. It's like if you took the things that are most important to the Dems right now (f***, I don't even know what they are at the moment because the party is such a clusterf*** and actually managed to push some of those items off the agenda recently... public option, cap and trade, consumer protection, immigration reform, equal rights for gays?) and called it something else. I could take a few things that the Democrats have in their platform, picks some random Al Qaeda sect, and call them the same thing. That doesn't make it true.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 08:12 PM) Bears/Stealers would make Obama conflicted.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 07:13 PM) How can you say that so definitely? Because of a couple of reports from Cooper saying Jake is 'ahead of schedule' and 'on track'? Used to hear that all the time with Wood and Prior. Not saying Peavy is at that level of injury risk yet. But he's getting there. Just hope for the best but expect something in the middle is my philosophy. If the guy is throwing off of the mound, that is a huge milepost in his recovery.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 07:32 PM) Please don't tell me you think we've got a shot at 'Melo? Heed the words of J4L: We WILL NOT acquire a superstar through a trade or FA! 2000 and last year was proof positive of this as far as FA goes. And Kobe, Gasol and KG were proof positive of this on the trade front. God help this franchise if we hadn't LUCKED out with a capital L in winning the lottery and drafting Rose. It all depends on what Anthony wants. This isn't about any team wants. I really doubt it actually happens, but I thought it was hilarious that the NJ owner told an NBA egotist to shove it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 06:07 PM) Link That is awesome.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 06:21 PM) It's not even a controversial statement. I feel like it is a statement clouded in ignorance and convenient stereotypes, but honestly, for the most part I quit arguing about it, because that is exactly how most discussions go. My actual experiences aren't going to change anyone else's judgments from afar.

If anyone can get to the lobby of the CBOT ASAP, they have free Soxfest passes for the first person there. Find the Sox rep wearing a Sox hat.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 10:25 AM) Just applied for my 9th job, sheesh! lol.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 09:41 AM) She couldn't be more vague in that debate. So she is ready go back into Congress...

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 11:31 AM) Ya, Thibs clock management was pretty brutal down the stretch last night. He said in the post-game that he thought they could generate a turnover.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 18, 2011 -> 05:18 PM) Humber could be a waiver steal if they can get him back to his top prospect results. He hasn't even been good at AAA in the past few years. I don't see him being anything more than a Charlotte filler.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 12:15 AM) No one really knows how this will play out but I could see either the Cards (or other teams if he hits FA) offering initial contracts/extension of like 6/180 or 6/190 with some or a lot of money deferred. That would give Pujols a paycheck for quite a few years and really give him a chance to chip away at bond's home run record if he stays healthy. Still think his elbow is a cause for concern. Here is the hard part for the Cardinals. If they are going to try to resign him, it has to be a legitimate offer. If it is a fraction of what could be gotten else where, it makes it easy for him to leave, and it makes the organization look bad. If they offer 6/180, while someone else is willing to go 10/300, The Cardinals will have to answer to their fans. If the difference is something like 9/250 versus 10/300, the Cardinals can legitmately look like they gave an honest effort, and keep the fanbase as happy as can be expected.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 11:11 AM) I do wonder why the Tigers are trying to move him. Decent inexpensive starters don't exactly grow on trees. If we really want Sale in the pen, and there is a legitimate belief that Peavy won't be ready for the start of the season, Galarraga is a guy I wouldn't mind us sniffing around.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 07:59 AM) And I don't believe in enabling the cover-up. Which means you lose the right to complain when illegal means are used to uncover illegal means.

QUOTE (joeynach @ Jan 18, 2011 -> 09:43 PM) He can be out-righted to detroit's AAA team then if he agrees, though he would still have to be paid $2.3M in the minors. He could refuse the assignment and try to make more as a free agent, right?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 18, 2011 -> 04:58 PM) You never said it was ok...but you have a problem with any and all reasonable means that could be used to establish that it happened. To me, that's tantamount to acceptance. And if you can afford a government, it's a great way to cover for yourself. "Any and all means", doesn't mean illegal to me. I do not believe in the sacrifice of my rights here.
