So this potentially makes for an interesting point. If there is insurance involved here, could this mean we now have the cash to make a bigger move than we thought?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:31 PM) "Warn Level"?!? That's too cool! How do we the unwashed Soxtalk masses get to view our warn levels?? I'm now imagining you all operating the website from a secret kick-ass Dr. Strangelove War Room. Its really Jason's moms basement...

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 11:34 PM) I didn't know that was added to the sarcasm as Kal pretty much got the other guys "right." Usually the man is incredibly spot on with players even the hands they throw so perhaps. Give me a break, my head hasn't been completely there since my friend was nearly killed alright. *hugs*

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:26 PM) I still like what the Bulls have done. Assuming the sign Brewer, and maybe add Livingston like talked about, they have assembled a solid squad. Nothing flashy, but a team that can give teams fits every night. Rose/Livingston Brewer/Korver Deng/J. Johnson Boozer/Taj Noah/Asik No it wasn't ideal, but the Bulls are a better team than when the season ended.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:52 PM) Marquez is right-handed, but I love this post. Complete 180 from the hating post lately. Nicely done. You really missed that one? Ugh, you have a lot to learn in the ways of sarcasm.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:46 PM) What are the odds of him being better than average again? Not good. This was ... wasted money. It's not just Jake. It's giving pitchers these mega contracts. Very very stupid business. Too bad he doesn't have a world series ring... That would give him the wand of immunity.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:07 PM) i just watched that too. Keep slapping Cleveland fans in the face Lebron.... geez. I can't believe he didn't at least give a shout out or something. Obviously he's there to celebrate with Heat fans, but come on. 3/4 of the country is ripping you a new one and you keep saying crap like "it feels right." Not an ounce of remorse. And yet people are still watching it...

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:05 PM) I see your fond of that. I see you are fond of edits

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:04 PM) They've never won a World Series so they're going for it this year. They having a lot of good hitting already but Smoak is a lot to give up. That hitting always falls apart after the ASB too. I will be surprised if Texas holds on to win the West, despite this trade.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:00 PM) You were saying ? They got all but $1.5 million paid, and gave up Smoak. That is crazy.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 09:54 PM) We're on pace for 90 wins now. So play .550 ball the rest of the way and we will get there... 2.5 up on those Twins. +12 on Minnesota in the last month. That is crazy.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 10:31 AM) He's not brutal in the field. In fact, he looks better than I expected given all the posts people have been making ripping him. He's no GG candidate, but has good hands and a cannon arm. The other stuff can be learned. This can't be said enough. He throws lasers from third.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 09:22 PM) If he could get a couple draft picks out of this I wouldn't blame him at all. On a different subject, I'm not sure what Michael Symon does better after tonight...cooking, or calling in from Vegas to a Cleveland sportstation to rant about Lebron. Not to mention dumping as much salary and obligation as possible on to Miami

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 09:26 PM) Seriously, no one thought they'd be this bad. Markakis, Jones, their young pitchers, Wieters...they have guys who were supposed to perform a lot better than this. I had no expectations for them at all. None.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 12:38 PM) Apparently the Orioles have been mathematically eliminated. To be fair, that happened at about the winter meetings...

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:55 PM) Ken_Rosenthal #Yankees livid with #Mariners. Believed they had deal, then M's took it to #Rangers saying put Smoak in and Lee is yours #Rangers jumped. Adams' ankle injury was excuse for M's to back out. "You just don't do business that way," one Yankee official said. #MLB 7 minutes ago via txt Yeah for Seattle.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:33 PM) As I put you in charge of notifying the interwebz of my death. The thread better be at least 4 pages too. It will be... "Who?" "Eh, he got what he deserved..." "?" "At least he wasn't having sex with LeBron's mom"

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:35 PM) Smoak was an overpay, IMO. Perez or Scheppers would've constituted as a gang rape. That is the cost of not paying Lee's whole salary, plus getting Lowe.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 01:18 PM) Oswalt Would Not Accept Trade To White Sox, Tigers via MODS: Feel free to change the title. I was very annoyed when I found out. I guess it is better than whoring yourself all over national TV to screw out your hometown

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:04 PM) Looks like the Rangers are chipping in extra spects for salary relief just as you'd think: BNightengale #mlb Rangers may have Mariners eat part of Lee's salary in return for additional prospects, just as they did with SF for Molina. 10 minutes ago via web Ken_Rosenthal #Rangers' deal for Lee confirmed. #Mariners sending cash in deal. #MLB less than a minute ago via Twitter for BlackBerry® Wow. That is a gutsy deal on both sides.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:00 PM) I don't get it? http://pratie.blogspot.com/2005/03/cuyahog...re-of-1969.html
