QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 02:02 PM) As I said before anyone wanted to hear it, even with all the guys being shipped off, it was still probably going to come down to one or the other in terms of Niemi or Nik. This team was, and still is royally cap f***ed. The $4 million in bonuses is really screwing them over.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 03:59 PM) So, there's a TV/Radio organized Lebron stuff burning in a suburb of Cleveland tonight. They had better stay away from the Lake.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 02:53 PM) Wow, New Jersey Nets just offered TYRUS f***ING THOMAS 5/40 ($8 million per) in an offer sheet. The Russian Billionaire strikes foolishly. Wow. Just wow.

I think my real friends would tell my virtual friends as those circles overlap for me.

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 05:28 PM) I hope the Rangers get him, since I like that team and the Sox don't play them at all in the second half. I'd love Texas to get him, but with their bankruptcy they are taking on zero contract money.

Its better than the Twins, all though I wouldn't mind see Minnesota clear out some of their farm system for a rental.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 09:26 AM) When attending a hockey game....you never get up during the action. You wait for a stoppage in play, i.e., a whistle. Same goes for when you're returning to your seat. Wait at the top of the stairs for a whistle, then scurry to your seat. It's hockey etiquette 101. Congratulations, you now know more than about 50% of the Hawk fans that attended the playoffs this year. This.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 11:20 PM) If your faith in science is threatened by God, then your faith is probably pretty weak, which is a personal problem if you ask me.

And me posting less because there isn't any point

So we are pretty much a Grimes signing away from having everyone we wanted?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:55 PM) And were McHale or Worthy ever considered top 5 players in the league at any point in their careers? lol. Kareem averaged like 12 ppg when the Lakers won in '88. Terrible comparison. Kevin McHale is in the NBA Hall of Fame.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 11:47 PM) If he does that he is forever the ultimate NBA p****. If he really wants to win, I can respect him going to Miami.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 11:53 PM) This is so ugly, but we still have the lead, was hoping Thornton did have to pitch tonight, but now we need him. Which means we will see Jenks for the third straight night... which isn't good.

So has anyone made the Juan Uribe comparison yet? Dayan has the full body swing like Juan, except the ball just explodes off of Viciedo's bat. I can see the 40 homer talk with the way the line drives come off for him.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 08:05 PM) New York gets Curry's contract off the books after next season, and they'll be able to bring in another top FA. I think people are really underestimating how good the Knicks could be in two years if James goes there. That is a lot of time in an NBA career. I know if I wanted to win bad enough to leave my hometown, I wouldn't be on a two to three year plan to do it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 07:48 PM) Is it bad I'm really rooting for him to go to New York if he doesn't come here? It would confirm exactly what I think about the guy right now. If he goes to Miami or Chicago, you can argue he wants to win, if it is Cleveland, it is a home thing. Anywhere else is money.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 07:07 PM) ROTFLMFAO. The best acting job she ever did.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 06:56 PM) Earthquake just happened here in SoCal. A 5.9 http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/rec...ci10736069.html

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 11:15 AM) And they still won't lead the league in attendance. The attendance argument? How about those Cubs?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 11:13 AM) I will tell you one thing. If LeBron signs with the Heat as well, the NBA will become unbearable for the next five seasons. It'll be one, big, major suckfest of the Heat on ESPN and TNT for an EXTREMELY long time. The NBA as a superstar driven game has been unbearable for a long time anyway. This week of ego stroking and fawning over every single work these guys had to say about the NBA didn't help at all.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 10:29 AM) So it's not the Bulls fault they came up empty here? I mean, yeah we're venting our frustrations, and I agree that you can't make anybody come here. But the Bulls are going absolutely nowhere anytime soon now, and regardless of how good of a shot they gave it, this has been a completely failure. And just sitting there and saying oh well isn't good enough. Here's a thought, what does it say about the players we have here that no one wanted to come play with them?

Prediction... Gordo gets the start today and gets two hits.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 09:13 AM) I still love Robin Williams in Death to Smoochy. He was great as a funny but on the edge of psychotic breakdown tv character That is one of my all-time favorite roles for Williams.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 10:10 AM) I still think it's best because it covers the alternate situation. Requiring a starter to go 5 innings means he pitches > 50% of the game (i'm not counting 1/3 of an inning here) and to me that makes sense. It's a minimum requirement, just like an at bats or IP per game threshold to qualify for a batting or ERA title. But I will say that I wouldn't be opposed to removing the rule that disqualifies the starter from receiving the win, as long as the 5 inning rule remained for the automatic 'W'. I do believe that in extraordinary circumstances, the official scorer does have some discression
