Hi Pot, meet kettle

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 12:10 PM) oh... so you're that guy. Avoid Apollo Insurance. Someone hit me who had Apollo. Got an estimate of $700, they said, we'll pay $250. Take it or leave it. I could have had my insurance company chase them (Allstate) but my rep said their success rate with this is 5% and could take up to 2 years. Funny how the difference came in just under my $500 deductible. scam artists. hell, my wife got his by someone with state farm. When I tried to get lost wages back from them, a week later they had turned that into "an injury settlement" Bastards.

How has no one posted todays Trib poster yet? http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/hocke...0,6571141.photo

So who are the top players left, besides Wilson? Also where is the best place to get live updates on the picks?

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 11:10 AM) Hes currently on pace for 61 rbi so getting to 90 is a heck of a long shot. And a guy who has hit no better than .222 the last 4 years is pretty unlikely to hit the .280 or whatever that would be required to raise his average 45 points. At this point in his career, I just don't think he is good enough to do that. He's talking about Carlos Quentin.

The White Sox have picked Indiana St. RHP Jacob Petricka with their pick in the second round today.

Indiana St. RHP Jacob Petricka

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 09:42 AM) At least to my readings, the way that was asked/worded still puts me at "Strongly suggested". He didn't explicitly say he'd veto any trade, he said they can't trade me. Hard to know how the question was asked there too...and that was before the season imploded. The sentence is missing "without asking me", and has the extra sentence at the end saying they have to decide now. If that doesn't say trade block, I don't know what does.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 09:37 AM) I would say AJ has "Suggested" as much, rather than explicitly stated, unless you've read something I haven't. http://www.mlbtraderumors.mobi/4289/show/d...4805093841303bf

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 09:02 AM) They might trade AJ before next Monday, but I don't think his 10/5 date is that important. No matter who wants him, they're going to be a contending team because who else would want him for the rest of the year? I think he'll still approve a trade after June 14 because it will give him a chance to win this year. It is important because AJ said he won't allow a trade after that date.

It is another symptom of how bad the officiating has been this series. Being in broadcasting, you can only talk about officiating so much, otherwise the broadcast suffers. If they were to have a serious discussion of each blown call in this series, they wouldn't talk about anything else.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 08:03 AM) Sale, like Sail. Or, there's a sale at Penneys!

People up here aren't going to be any help as each company has to be licenced in the states that they sell in.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 04:14 AM) Quick question. Say the Hawks win on Wednesday, will Dale Tallon get his name on the cup (and get a ring)? I know he was with us this year early on, and now isn't (with another org). I mean he is the one who basically created this Hawks team. I would hope if it's a no, Rocky, John (especially) and Stan really give him pub/salute him in some way. I already feel bad for Cam Barker as well... I would have said yes, all except for his actions after he left here.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 10:51 PM) Cardinals pitched two of their possible starting rotation replacements tonight, and they gave up 10 runs in 5 innings. Of all of the teams that might trade for starting pitching, the Cards have to be one of the least likely to splurge on something like $25 million for Mark Buehrle.

Morgado is another interesting name... Could the Sox take another shot at him?

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 10:27 PM) At some point Buehrle has to have a last game ever in a White Sox uniform. If the time's now to maximize his value in trade, the real fan wants the right move to be made. It's a tough decision to make but that's why the evaluators get paid what they're paid. With Buehrle's contract plus his performance to this point... He has no value right now. Who wants to acquire a soft-tosser with a six plus ERA and $20 million plus due over a year and a half?

OK the Sox pick at #63. Who are the likely suspects, and who are the top players left as we start Day II

Well the nice thing is that for all those who complained about the Sox making "safe" picks, they really haven't done so since the summer after they won the World Series. So for everyone who talks about not living in the past there, hopefully they will do the samething when it comes to complaining about our drafting.

The cheapest game seven tickets out there on stubhub are $740 each for SRO.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 07:53 PM) Twins supposedly love Wimmers Ha, that will give some people conniptions... Let me be the first to say... WHERE'S OUR WIMMERS?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 07:33 PM) A D2 guy going early. Thats interesting. They pretty well trashed the pick on the MLB network. I was kinda surprised.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 07:24 PM) Is fathom being serious here? Someone other than Fathom answer for me? Yes he is.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 07:17 PM) (Disclaimer: I know NOTHING) After watching that 2 second video clip, I don't like that delivery AT ALL... It looks like a left handed Peavy before the adjustments.
