QUOTE (bulokis @ Mar 14, 2010 -> 03:03 PM) Wow 2 very disappointing games this weekend. Maybe they will be like our 05 sox, struggled before playoffs but turned it on during the playoffs. Why cant we hold off leads anymore. The whole team is accountable not just the goalies anymore. I didn't see the Saturday game, but I can't blame Niemi for this one. If anything he saved the collapse from being worse.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 14, 2010 -> 02:12 AM) Tyler Flowers for me if he was on the 25. I don't really hate Linebrink, but I wish he could learn to stay healthy. Why would you hate Flowers???

Well that was pretty much a worst case scenario of a weekend...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 13, 2010 -> 10:43 PM) And shame on anybody who thought he had a chance in hell before the spring started. He's AAA filler. Nothing more. Phil Rogers said he is only hitting 90 on the gun. That makes a big difference.

Hmm, learned something new there. I did not know with a 5 on 3 situation, if the first penalty was a major, and a goal gets scored, the second penalty comes off of the board.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Mar 14, 2010 -> 11:35 AM) Nature, not prophecy. Or God is angry...

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Mar 14, 2010 -> 12:02 PM) Notwithstanding that cheap shot on Soup, I love Ovechkin and am pissed he's out. I wanted to watch him play this game. He screwed up with that hit and he knew it. He didn't argue the penalty or the ejection.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 13, 2010 -> 07:52 PM) Well I'd say his chances of clearing waivers have reduced quite a bit now that ESPN is pimpin' him. It takes a pretty s***ty GM to be picking up players based on ESPN's stories.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Mar 13, 2010 -> 10:19 PM) like i said, world's about to end. 2012! Its the end of the world as we know it...

QUOTE (YASNY @ Mar 13, 2010 -> 06:25 AM) All true. Personally, I've always pinned that trade on Schuler. IIRC he was the one who accepted responsibility for that deal.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 13, 2010 -> 05:51 PM) Hinrich's suspended for Tuesday's game after bumping a ref last night. They should suspend the ref for being s***ty. That was a terrible call that triggered that whole sequence.

Linebrink or Pierre seem to be the two worst. The season will determine who becomes the official whipping b****.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 13, 2010 -> 11:27 AM) This is a potentially very serious injury. One of the primary functions of the posterior tibialis tendon is to support the arch of the foot. If this tendon isn't functioning properly it could lead to chronic foot problems such as plantar fasciitis. This is the main concern. If the tendon avulsed from the bone the re-attachment should be fairly easy. If the tear is in the middle of the tendon it is much more difficult. Repairing the actual tendon is like tying two pieces of spaghetti together. They would probably use a type of metal augmentation device to strengthen it. Hopefully it avulsed off the bone and there is an improved chance that he will have no lingering problems. We will know by how soon they allow him to run on it. Either way it's a 3 to 8 month injury from surgery to rehab to return to play. It will be toward the early end if it came off the bone toward the latter end if it tore mid substance. Just for the record, I'm not a doctor, I'm a physical therapist and athletic trainer by profession. QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 13, 2010 -> 11:58 AM) Much worse. Achilles tendon repairs are usually successful and if there is residual pain it's isolated to the tendon. If there is a residual problem with this tendon it not only effects the tendon but many other structures as well. I mention how it supports the arch so foot problems are a worry. Also, this tendon goes through the tarsal tunnel, if you've heard of carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrist/hand, it's a similar structure. If the tendon gets inflamed it can cause numbness/tingling/pain in the bottom of the foot. This will be a very tricky surgery/rehab. Thanks for the info, that is good to know.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 13, 2010 -> 05:00 PM) You're just mangling the English language all over today, eh Joe? He's channeling his inner Ozzie.

I got a new PC not too long ago, so I am not worried about something doing too much work. Basically I want something portable for radio appearances, both in the studio, and at sporting events. It has to be something that handles the internet with ease, as that will be its big job.

For those who have netbooks, how effective are they? Dell has a 10 inch, 160GM hard drive, Intel® Atom Processor® N280 (1.66GHz/667MHz FSB/512K cache), 1GB memory for $250. I am not looking to crunch anything with it, but it would be something I would use for accessing internet info during a radio show, so it would need to be something that could handle the net with ease. Opinions? http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/notebooks/l...b&~lt=popup

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 13, 2010 -> 02:56 PM) Just curious... do you feel the same way about car insurance? I know its not exactly the same situation, but, it is in fact required to drive in any state. Do you like or dislike that? And for what reasons? In order to drive, not completely required or else.

QUOTE (GREEDY @ Mar 13, 2010 -> 09:44 AM) Grown men wearing shirts with other grown men's names on them is strange/creepy/sorry. When you get your driver's license you should have to turn in your jerseys. Thanks Grandpa. See you at the early bird.

As for Mauer, I expect he will remain a Twin. I'm sure if they trade him the other team will want to negotiate a contract first. If he ever did become a FA, he's exactly the kind of guy JR would open the checkbook to obtain. JR did him a big favor. Jordan wanted a long term deal, that he was actually advised against signing... by Jerry. He also told him that once he signed it, he wouldn't renegotiate it, and he didn't, which is why he was underpaid for so long.

That was an epic meltdown a the end of the Bulls game with all of the technical fouls. Vinnie just proved exactly how much control he has over that team as T after T was called.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 13, 2010 -> 08:38 AM) Ozzie's take from the Tribune: "Very, very bad," manager Ozzie Guillen said."It's a shame.He has to use his speed. "It's going to cost him a year at least. The kids is still young. Unfortunately, this happened to him." chicagotribune.com has some bad editing. The kids is still young? If it is Ozzie's quote, which we all know how well he speaks English, they really shouldn't edit it.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 13, 2010 -> 04:05 AM) Holy s***, she's 88? I can't even comment. She definitely doesn't look 88. She looks more like 69 Even in green that is not cool. :puke

So the big question is will this affect his speed after the normal recovery?

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 06:17 PM) I know that you hate them, but West Virginia - Notre Dame might be a really good game. 8pm CST And ever since Huggins took over WVU, I can't stand them either.
