QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 10:31 PM) No, they haven't. They trade away young talent for broken down, past their prime vets for the most part. Jim Thome being the only real exception. Or if you want to go back to '04 you can say Freddy Garcia. Wite, you know I respect you. But WTF are you talking about? I challenge you to give me just three examples in the last 5 years or so in which a regular went down or underperformed and the Sox were able to call up a player from the system and he performed at a replacement level. We have nobody that could do that if a regular went down. I will not do cartwheels over signing Jesse Crain to a 3-year, 13 million dollar deal. I just won't. Chances are it will end badly. Yes, I love the Dunn signing and have made that well known. And will all due respect, I don't care if people think I'm a perpetual whiner and that I'm never satisfied. I'm sick of getting butt-f***ed by the same team over and over and over and over and over again. If the Sox fall short to the Twins again, BLOW IT UP. Um, John Danks?

I have OOTP 11, and I love it.

QUOTE (Pale Sox @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 06:07 PM) Word was the DBacks wanted to trade Scherzer because they thought he was an injury waiting to happen. And the Tigers sure don't shy away from those sorts of pitchers.

Just read it... http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/no...100000201911446 Why do the 3 locations of massive Bird deaths form an equalateral triangle over the New Madrid Fault Line?

Honestly before this story broke, I would have agreed with you. But with this about the handshake falling apart, it puts a new spin on this deal. Is dealing Hudson for Dunn (through Jackson) better than Hudson for Jackson? Could it have helped more in the race for the division?

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 05:03 PM) Bagwell was arguably not as dominant as Frank was in his prime. Frank has more MVPs, more finishes in the Top 5 in MVP voting, and a batting title. Not to mention that he played longer and has better overall numbers as well. I think there's a good chance that Frank does get in on the first ballot. People are convinced Bagwell juiced. I don't know why, but they are. That seems to be holding him back somewhat.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) Bah, I can live with HOF voters making a "Bad behavior" statement. Then don't vote him in at all. If it is worth holding up a HOF vote, then do it. A one year thing is just stupid.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 02:46 PM) 93 offensively/defensively, 94 pitching. In recent years in the ALC, 93/94 wins you the division. Do people think the 2011 Twins or Tigers are 93/94 win teams on paper? The Tigers will be lucky to be an 83 team as made up now. Probably more like 78 or 79.

And Alomar getting 90% this year just proves what a f***ing joke his not making it last year actually was.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 01:23 PM) umm... yea. long story.

Baseball twitter typo. It is actually 79.7%

Jam on

Hell yes I will

Funnier when I said it.

Doubt it. I am a cheap date.

By then, I would be passed out.

He's just afraid of getting his egotistical ass shown up by Blake Griffin.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 10:15 AM) What's wrong with simply disagreeing and moving on to the next caller? By keeping the caller on the line and insulting them like an 8 year old, you just prolong the conversation and give the caller even more time. Plus, if Bernstein didn't react that way I doubt he would have callers trolling the show for reactions. Like I said earlier, they have taken all of the worst things about a message board, and managed to turn them into a radio show.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 09:47 AM) I thought that someone either posted a link to an article or said that they read an article in the Washington newspaper within the past week that said that there was a handshake agreement between Rizzo and KW, but ownership of the Nationals nixed it because they wanted to re-sign Dunn to a long term deal. I did some googling and you are indeed correct. I am going to post the story.

Its called old men living in the past. The Gold Standards time has passed in this country.
