QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 01:50 PM) I'm going to list every draft pick in the original post. We can update it. Excellent. Thanks A.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 02:24 PM) He sure has done his part to help that effort. How anyone can defend him when he's been one of the worst pitchers in the AL is hilarious. This is the same idiocy we put up with last year with Rios. The usefulness of sample sizes is lost on too many people.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 02:18 PM) What's the hurry either way? Unless people are dying to see Castro more often. You potentially get more in a trade the sooner you finish the deal, because the other team gets the player longer.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 02:36 PM) I have no specific guy(s) in mind. But the bolded is definitely the #1 quality I'd want in a new GM. You can identify all of the talent you want, unless someone is willing to write checks for it, it doesn't matter.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 01:26 PM) I wish he would stay there! Ready for the Brent Lillibridge era to begin?

Happy Birthday!!

Some girls chase blackwood... some don't.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 10:47 PM) I was thinking the same thing. He should have kept his s*** together today. Hopefully, the right people have the right talk with him. He wasn't cool today. Not one bit. But I bet he got a lot of ass. All he had to do was to be cool with the entire world watching. The whole chugging bud light after bud light thing was just awful. Two hours. That's all he had to be under control for, and he couldn't even do that. It made me wonder if he has a serious problem.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 07:46 PM) Link Its funny that things like this can get the blame, yet the death to America, death to Israel speeches don't mean anything apparently...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 07:12 PM) I disagree. I really don't think it matters if they trade AJ or not. In fact, I still think its a decent possibility AJ winds up playing for the White Sox in 2011. The prospect or 2 you might be able to get for a couple months of AJ has about a 99% chance of not having the type of impact on your team AJ has had, and currently has. Its not a setback. The days of acquiring Jeff Bagwell for Larry Andersen are ova. That is an ironic statement considering the last trade that AJ was involved in...

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 03:18 PM) Joey Cora and Ozzie have the same baseball sensibilities. That’s a lateral move. How do we know what Joey Cora's managerial skills are really like? From the few times he has sat in for Ozzie?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 08:58 AM) Kenny will be done at the end of the year and be promoted to another role. He can't just keep working as hard as he does with the stress that he goes through. He might go back and become another teams GM down the road again. That is what I believe will happen. Hahn has the job, they won't even need to really interview. They have everybody in the Sox organization saying this now. They are really setting it up for Kenny to move upstairs.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 08:33 PM) Sounds to me like a 29 year old starting pitcher who has accomplished quite a bit in his career but only has 2 postseason starts, waived his no trade clause to play for a contender and didn't sign up to play out the remaining 2 or 3 years of his prime on a decimated club in the opening phases of a full rebuild. 6 awful starts doesn't change a damn thing: Jake Peavy is still Jake Peavy, he's got a pitcher's triple crown, 2 ERA titles and a Cy Young on his resume and when he's asked by a reporter if he's willing to play out his youth in the basement of the AL Central he's going to answer honeslty: f*** no. And lets not forget, if he wanted to play on a crappy rebuilding team, he would have stayed in San Diego. He came here to win.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 07:13 PM) The more I think about explosives, the worse an idea I think it is. The big benefit of a nuke is the temperature; you get hot enough that you actually melt all the rocks around the explosion site, and that melt can quench into a glass, fusing everything together. You don't get the same temperature with a conventional explosion that you do with the nuke. And, if you don't know the geology perfectly, when you're trying to seal the thing with the explosion, you also likely generate a whole lot of new fracture paths in the layer you're nuking. You hit a set of joints, and bang, suddenly you've blown the entire reservoir open. Right now, I'm just not sure I trust our knowledge of the reservoir geology there. Especially after a month and a half of explosive spilling. It sounds like a terrible idea to me, but I know nothing about it either.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 07:08 PM) From previous high. I haven't a clue what the purchase price was, I didn't pay for it. Well then you didn't take a loss on it.

Seal the leak? MOAB it.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 05:18 PM) Ozzie in the post game interview: "AJ isn't getting traded." Does that mean he's as good as gone by Monday? - semi serious. If kenny had said it...

Man the Cubs clubhouse is imploding. Between the Wells presser and Lous flip out, this team needs to be taken out back and shot.

Fontenot PH for Wells

Nice idea Jake, just couldn't hit it hard enough.

Jayson Nix gets the IBB. Again, I hate the NL.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 03:07 PM) A.J. is having a huge day. We need to trade him to Cincy or St Louis so he can play the Cubs all of the time.

That almost got out for AJ... 5-2 Sox, AJ and PK switch spots.

I agree, I can't believe they are pitching to AJ.
