QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 12:00 PM) Trib says Cubs about to trade D-Lee to the Braves. I really thought the Ozzie connection would make something happen there.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 07:53 PM) Do they? I've never seen anyone else do it. Is there a reason? Why not just leave them on? Yep. Watch the guys once they get on base. Its to stop guys from getting fingers broken and jammed.

Eh, at this point I am waiting to see what happens in this series before I add anyone if I am Kenny. If they go down six to Minnesota, there is zero chance I add anyone.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 07:49 PM) What the hell is Pierre holding in his hands? Are those glove liners or something? He ALWAYS holds them when he's on the base paths. All of the Sox baserunners do that.

Did Hudson just punk Pierre after that steal? I wish they wouldn't have cut away at that moment.

Does anybody really know what day it is?

QUOTE (IceCreamPants @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 05:54 PM) He tried too but he was given a Matt Abbaticola and his butt hurt to much after that. If he hadn't have done it in the Can of Corn, there wouldn't have been a need to stretch.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 02:47 PM) There's no way Hudson is this good. 10 K to 0 BB? That translates to the NL being no better than the International League at this point. How's John Ely doing? Stop rushing to judgments after 4 starts. If you did that after his first four starts, everyone would love the trade. The best examples ever of that have to be Josh Fogg and Kip Wells.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 03:05 PM) When is it next up for renegotiation? In terms of draft slotting, MLB isn't the league with the worst problem and I know that the league with the worst problem is liable to start its lockout shortly after this year's Super Bowl, so it'll be interesting to see how that plays out before baseball's CBA comes up. By that time, it's possible that MLB could have the most unlimited/troublesome draft contract system. I'd love to see the playing field completely leveled here and see a world wide draft, trading of draft picks, and hard caps on the slots.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 04:04 PM) Only problem with that is most got both, wage increases AND thier bloated pensions. Don't forget bloated pensions in most cases are based on bloated government wages.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 03:10 PM) Oh no doubt. Just saying it's not nearly as bad as some people might make it out to be. Actually that was my point. Even the "small" hurricanes can destroy plenty. Trust me, I lived through one. They are incredibly destructive and costly.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 02:55 PM) When people mention Florida, most think Hurricanes. But since 2000, I think only 3 hurricanes has actually entered the "non-panhandle" part of Florida (and two of those were in one year) and most tend to hit the southern tip, not central Florida where we are going to move. Since 1950, only 13 hurricanes made landfall with a rating of 3 or higher, most of which hit the tip or panhandle. Its not like a Cat 1 or 2 storm is something to scoff at. You are still talking about winds sustained as high as 100 mph+.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 12:52 PM) Saw some conjecture that the White Sox may pursue signing Barret Loux. Lauman sure seemed to like him.

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 11:35 AM) It takes the exact same amount of time to get an e-mail and post a tweet haha Unless they're talking about the time it takes to compose being too slow, but if that's the case these kids are just retarded...Sometimes 140 characters just isn't enough to complete a full thought Have you hung out with high school kids lately? 140 characters is really pushing it!

QUOTE (IceCreamPants @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 12:40 PM) Okay. But I post on a website everyday and I know I am cool. A lot cooler than you are. A s*** ton cool. I won't believe that until I see a stat that quantifies internet coolness.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 10:52 AM) But what if we received Red Skelton in return? Only if I get the first tapioca pudding scoop today at the home...

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 06:08 PM) That's why I hate mid season trades. I'm glad they didn't make a trade. Imagine if Sales was traded. That would hurt right now since the pen is struggling. NOT SOUPY!!!

QUOTE (sircaffey @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 10:07 AM) We put anyone on, on purpose, and they're coming around to score. Just throw one behind Young and be done with it. Reposted, because we all know its true.

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 10:14 AM) How is e-mail too slow? What's the alternative? Its Twitter old man.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 09:53 AM) Our retaliation should be beating the living s*** out of them on the scoreboard nothing more, nothing less. I really felt like it was the play at home by Young that led the Sox to come back last night. They looked better in the last couple of innings than they had since early in that game.

QUOTE (mreye @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 09:41 AM) I read this story yesterday and somehow knew you were going to post it. I love the Beloit Survey. I look forward to it every year.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 12:34 PM) I think his overall plan is good, but it requires also revamping Fannie and Freddie to be operationally solid in order to work. I also still think that one of the best stimulus ideas they could have implemented was buying property outright. They could still attempt that - some localities are doing it anyway. The biggest problem with the refi scam is that you set up an 80's S&L collapse when interest rates recover. You can't be making 3% on your mortgages when you are paying 6% on your savings.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 05:05 PM) yep. should have waited to bust him. The Tribune blew that...

BTW, if you want a good laugh, put Blago into Google news and click latest. Do not pause, let it scroll. The Twitter posts are hilarious.

Guilty only of lying to the FBI, hung jury on 23 other counts.
