QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Dec 11, 2009 -> 10:28 AM) Freaky injurires happen to injury prone players. 1 or 2 injuries I can see but when it is 4 and 5 you become a Jim McMahon type of guy. Jermaine Dye said "hi".

Good for Danksy.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 11, 2009 -> 12:23 AM) Yet the creator of the site only gets a modest b-day thread for a day or two. Do I sense conspiracy? It is just an appropriate recognition of both

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 11, 2009 -> 08:15 AM) I'm doing much the same thing, but I'm only reading the quality posts. I finished in about 11 minutes. Couldn't find the bifocals for the first 10 minutes?

????? There is no way they couldn't at least offer him something.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 11, 2009 -> 06:42 AM) Exactly what does Gardner bring offensively that Chris Getz did not? He plays the OF well?

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 11, 2009 -> 02:24 AM) CQ's last few injuries were hitting related weren't they? Wrist/Foot... This. He hasn't hurt himself in the field. He has hurt himself on freak things. Taking him out of the field wouldn't change that.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 09:57 PM) Well, if a deal was ever gonna happen, it isn't now. Thanks Cowley. I swear KW must wanna stab that dude. Someone needs to...

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 03:10 PM) Heard on ESPN 1000 today that despite all the Bradley rumors at the winter meetings the Cubs weren't really close to trading him and, surprise surprise, they're having a difficult time! Yeah, I think most of that stuff was wishful thinking to try to get someone to jump on him.

QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 09:21 PM) Wouldn't Brett Gardner have been a much better piece in the Swisher trade instead of superstar Jeff Marquez? Um, duh. The only problem with that is the Yankees wouldn't have done that deal, so it is a moot point.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 04:54 PM) Now that his agent says Bonds career is over, we can thankfully forget about this stupid idea to have him play for the Sox. There were way too many people on this board who thought this was a good idea. Thankfully. Either that or Barry was looking for some Allen Iverson type attention.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 06:34 PM) HAHA, yes we all can report last min information that even surprises the Sox GM. Yesterday "it cooled off" Today: "an offer has been made." Putz has been pushing his agent to get him on the Sox. I like the sound of that. I want guys who WANT to be here.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 04:10 PM) Furthermore, this article is basically saying that the $600B increase in spending is Bush's fault, because its necessary to combat a recession they blame on him. Doesn't really make any sense. So while idiots like Beck are obviously off in space trying to say that Obama is what has caused the problem, its equally ridiculous to say it was Bush's fault. Probably the same idiots who claim that the 2001 recession was Bush's fault.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 12:46 PM) You mean the deal that was done until Hunter went back on his word and signed with the Angels? That deal? I believe that would be what the kids call a "trump card".

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 11:37 AM) Even if they have to pay off the next 1.5 years of the VDN contract (Which admittedly is only like 0.75 years worth of a good coach) Keep in mind, this is most likely the coach that has to be able to convince LeBron/Wade/Bosh, etc to come to Chicago.

Fun as that might be, it makes it hard to study rocks that way.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 11:35 AM) Really? You think the Bulls will throw a lot of money at a coach? After the complete failure of VDN, it would be hard not to.

I'm guessing he has been having problems learning the words to Old Rocky Top, and they are threatening to escort him to Kentucky.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 11:13 AM) If Putz is signed, what would his role be in the bullpen? he will step into the either the Dotel or Linebrink role as we stand now.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 08:55 AM) So Nolan Ryan wants a 4 man rotation and his guys to go deep into games.........Ya, Harden fits this mold really well. Especially with trading away Millwood.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 9, 2009 -> 11:16 PM) I'm surrounded by Christmas decorations and drinking a 2005 vintage Samichlaus beer. Really, does it get much better?* * The 2004 Thomas Hardy Ale calling to me from the vintage beer stash says it just might. Some Lennon on in the background...

My Vanilla balls may be bland, but they are very filling.

The Sox didn't have anyone picked in the MLB portion of the draft.

You would think that ND would have someone locked down by the time they fired Weis.
