QUOTE (lostfan @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 08:29 PM) rofl just read a hilarious rumor, not sure if its true but apparently the Raiders coaches gave JaMarcus Russell a DVD and told him to check out the new plays/schemes/whatever on it. Later they asked him what he thought, he said he liked it but didn't have any input. The DVD was blank. Wow. Talk about a guy who is perfectly content with his money. If you need a reason why the NFL draft is junk, this is it.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 07:35 PM) Totally disagree. But I'm not going to get all uberstatty here. He's going in the HOF. He is talking about Senior, not Junior.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 04:19 PM) I can't imagine why Oz wouldn't want Nick Johnson.... That is a lot of money for a guy who is hurt in the second week of spring training.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 03:38 PM) I think someone here with good sources said the sox wanted to sign Nick Johnson, but Ozzie didn't want him as well. (before the Pierre deal) It seems like we were interested, but not $5.5 million interested.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 03:04 PM) Just found out my little brother (age 17) is possibly a father. This should be an interesting few days in the household. Yikes. There is nothing bigger to change your life than that.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 02:17 PM) You know... one of these days somebody important is going to blow out a knee or suffer some other disasterous injury running as fast as they can on a routine pop up or ground out.... And for that there will be probably 1000 times where someone misses out on a hit after a defensive player bobbles a ball while the hitter wasn't hustling, because I sure haven't seen it happen yet.

How did Garcia do today?

That is a nice move for Helton. He just guaranteed himself a lot of money for a much longer amount of time on the downside of his career.

Many pitchers honestly feel that spring training isn't long enough to get their arms stretched out.

I think someone is being a plant to get Mauer worried about resigning.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 12:42 AM) Tiger fans getting excited about Willis. Again. Its like Cub fans expecting something out of Silva.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 11:54 AM) I dont blame them for getting pissed that he insinuated that the hate mail came from within the organization. NO joke. That kinda deserves a response.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 11:18 AM) they say Jenks is nursing a sore calf -- isn't that what he went down with at the end of the season, a sore calf? Ugh. Wonderful.

Mind over Matter Ice-T

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 09:51 AM) I can only imagine the haul that Mauer would command if he were traded this season. After seeing the Agon rumors, I can only imagine what a catcher would get.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 10, 2010 -> 05:03 PM) I would think that Mitchell would go to W-S until they see if he's ready for Birmingham. I would hope so.

Good stuff.

I think most real baseball fans have realized by now that Ozzie isn't stupid. If you haven't, you have no idea what is going on.

QUOTE (scenario @ Mar 10, 2010 -> 10:35 PM) Hudson throwing well, but Guillen wants him to begin season as starter in Triple A. Sox manager wants him ready to step in if hole develops in rotation That is 100% perfect. I am glad to see the team doing the right thing.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 05:12 AM) Because he had sex with his sister. Incestual sex is against the law. As is sex with someone that young...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 10, 2010 -> 10:25 PM) Niemi stepped up, big time. I loved Kaner's attempt at a Savvy special. Niemi starts the next game, gotta create confidence. LOVED THAT GAME. Apparently Kane really loves Savvy. It was a cool way to show a tribute to him.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 01:10 AM) This stretch might get ugly fast.... Deng out "a while" Gibson possibly out as well. I guess the only bright spot(s) is James Johnson can finally play some god damn minutes, not to mention see if the Bulls sink or swim and to shut down Noah the whole year or not. Ugh. The only other sort of scorer we have.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 10, 2010 -> 08:13 PM) Hawks have played a very good first 15 minutes overall, but you'd swear they don't practice 5 on 3 situations with how they look in them. They've had a number of extended 5 on 3's this year, particularly in recent games, that have gone empty. That's unacceptable in general, but especially with the skill the Hawks have. They should have had a much longer one. How the ref missed the double minor high stick is beyond me.

The only way Smoak is coming to us is if we deal one of our young starters.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 10, 2010 -> 05:04 PM) I think that we're getting to an era where anyone can be called out for unpopular statements no matter who they are and what ethnicity they come from. I guess that means we are moving towards equality
