The phrase in there was "something that they could not control" That is what says it all about the Sox. Step out of line and you are gone. I wonder if he kept up his routine if JR and Co will give him the Bill Wirtz treatment and give him back his season ticket money back??? :fyou Haters

3-5 mpg is a BIG difference when you are talking about millions of SUV's driving billions of miles. That is a whole lot more oil need. ONE mpg makes a huge dent when you consider at 20 mpg (A high estimate for SUV's) that is a 5% reduction in mpg. 5 mpg is a 25% raise in effecency!

13-2 and 13-2! You can't ask for a much better night than that! :fthecubs

RIP Bobby.

I have a question for you if you check this again soon, what is it like to see your teammates and friends traded away? This has got to be something different to deal with, as these are some of the guys who you have worked your way up through the system with. Any personal thoughts from the locker room on how this affects you, and affects the teams in the minors. Thanks in Advance

I guess I could just get another one from you again :finger

With this trade for Sullivan I gotta figure we aren't going to see Pantiagua, at least not this year. Maybe we will bring him to winterball or something.

Hey I remember you, you're that one guy... who was the butt of all of our jokes

Do I get a free lap dance with the ticket? NO!!!!!!! Would I? NO!!!! What about me?

You have to move Cotts back to the Tigers and send Buehrle out after the Yankees. These games are too important to mess around with. And yes, the Tigers are eliminated.

NO you've been replaced by a helper monkey. Sorry, I am sure you understand I'll take Carl Everett

Hell Ya Neal!!! I had a feeling that something clicked after than 2nd inning in his start in Arlington. Almost like a light when on and Neal finally thought, hey I CAN get these guys out with my stuff. I don't have to trick them, I just have to do what got me here. And then he goes out and only gives up one run to a damned good offense. BTW the shaving creme pies during the post game interview were great as well!

Man if hitting .270 sucks, I don't know what you would call half of this team???

Greer's career is over from the sounds of it. He had some major surgery, I can't remember what it was now.

Speaking of Big Jon, what is the deal lately? Is his velocity back, or his breaking stuff on again or what? He has been great lately. When I was down there I heard he had no stuff back at that point. But that could of changed. Up until about two weeks ago Aaron Sele had no stuff and then all of a sudden his velocity jumped 7 MPH (Happened to be the game we played him). Guys take time coming back from an injury and I've noticed some really good starts out of him since I got back, so maybe he's gotten healthy. Either way, this will be 2 years. One full year in the minors so next year is when he should break out. After that I'd say his odds aren't good. He'll be a callup though. Serious shoulder injuries like Jon had take about 2 years to recover from. IA lot of people say that shoulder surgery takes longer to recover from than Tommy John surgery does now. I am anxious if anyone else has heard how Jon's pitches look right now.

If Jose can stay hot, that makes the bottom of this line up very dangerous, espesially with a resurgent Joe Crede.

You and everyone else. I remember him being the man in a few fantasy drafts. Its too bad he never reached his potential. He was a freakin stud in this league........ overshadowed Tejada... I have a ball signed by both Grieve and Tejada....... I wanted two separate balls, but when i got the one, I was disappointed Tejada was on the same ball as Grieve...... What an idiot I turned out to be. LOL Speaking of Tejada, what the hell happened to him? He was supposed to be the 2nd best SS in baseball. Forcing it too hard during a contract year, where your employer already said he can't have you back. That will discract you on the field big time.

Think about this for a second. Any owner who a chance to get a premier franchise would most likely do a way better job and spend way more money on it, than the Tribune company ever did. The Trib owning the Cubs is the best thing for Sox fans.

Schow has shown me one thing early in his career with the Sox. He cannot get out RH hitters.

Having dealt with all of the BS at National City, I can appreciate this. http://www.f***nationalcity.com/

I'd say Rick White, if he was till here. Now he is vital to the Cubs and Cardinals chances at winning the central, instead of Minnesota and KC's chances of winning the AL Central.

Billy Koch without a doubt. He has blown more momentum this year. Konerko is a close second, but at least has been hot for a while. Wright wasn't key enough to this season to be considered the worst, IMO.
