Didn't see this anywhere else but apparently the Rays are close to signing Bobby Jenks.

It was rumored the White Sox were interested in Accardo and he signed with BAL for 1 yr, 1.08 million. Interesting.

The main question, other than how much the deal is worth, is what no-name will Minnesota bring up that does even better than Crain?

Cowley's last 3 tweets: Market on Q is not to KW's liking .... but what's that I smell in the kitchen? Smells like Crain cooking. Forget spending a dollar with only 50 cents ... KW might be up to at least a $1.50 with only 50 cents after this one. Repeat after me Sox fans - "We love you Jerry.''

Got a 100% on my oral presentation from last week and just aced the hell out of my last final. Gimme alcohol.

GPA's (and grades in general) are the dumbest way to categorize people. Grades are f***ing dumb. If I get A's on all my exams but don't do stupid unnecessary homework and worksheets and other bulls*** projects and I get a C, it doesn't mean I'm an average student. Such a ridiculously huge flaw. Anywho, completed all 3 of my film reviews. Got my exam in an hour and a half and I'm off to get drunk.

I think I pretty much aced my marketing final this morning. Got a 30/30 on the take-home portion, so I'm feeling good about the remaining 70 points. One more 2-page movie review for film culture, this one will be on the musical score and sound effects of The Dark Knight. Then it's off to study for the final at 6 PM and I'm DONEZO.

Apparently Carmelo HAS been traded to the Nets, according to ABC7 News out of Denver. They're the only ones reporting it though. Kinda skeptical. Reported deal is Favors, Murphy and Picks to the Nuggets for Melo. The deal hinges on Melo choosing to re-sign with NJ or not.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 14, 2010 -> 10:30 PM) Keith Benson of Oakland a couple of years ago was thought of as a lottery pick. His draft stock has taken quite the hit but he's still a pretty talented player that'll be on a NBA roster somewhere next season. He's one of the best center's in college basketball. Oakland has a very talented team and they have one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the NCAA.

Am I the only crazy person who doesn't want to trade anybody from our rotation???? This doesn't make ANY sense to me. We're going "all in" by trading a piece of our awesome rotation? Or by dealing a good bat for relievers?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 14, 2010 -> 11:03 PM) I've never had a film put me in the mind of someone like that. Agreed. Totally puts you in his shoes. You think to yourself "Would I be able to do that if needed?" and the entire time I was asking myself when was the last time I talked to my loved ones.

127 Hours = incredible. SUCH a good movie. Speechless.

My only question, is the

Going to see 127 Hours tonight.

Slooooooooooooly making progress. Both of my take home exams are now done and ready to be turned in tomorrow. Now, I'm going to make a super-duper awesome study guide for my MKT 350 exam which is, well, now today, at 2 PM. After that, 3 2-page film reviews and studying for my last final.

Dammit, I'm a bit upset I couldn't make this since it's actually on the Serbian Christmas. But had I went, I would have been (I think) the tallest and the Serbianest. Shucks.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 14, 2010 -> 12:12 AM) Ok, so what will it take for the Sox to fight against the Sawks or Phils? Injuries to those teams.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 14, 2010 -> 12:10 AM) Watching that Phillies pitching staff vs. that Red Sox offense in the World Series should be interesting. I kinda thought the same thing. It's like the Miami Heat all over again.

Lee could be leaving up to $50 million on the table. Yankees offered 6 yrs, 138 million with a 7th yr option to make it $154 million.

Ravens D has been an embarrassment in the 2nd half.

Joel Sherman saying the Yankees are OUT on Lee, per Lee's agent. Heyman reporting the Yankees final offer was 150 over 7 years.

According to Joel Sherman, the Yankees inquired about John Danks and were told no by the White Sox. The Yanks also pursued King Felix and Josh Johnson. The White Sox, however, would move Floyd or Jackson and like the Yankees prospects. http://twitter.com/#!/Joelsherman1/sta...542535955316736 and http://twitter.com/#!/Joelsherman1/sta...543358001152000

This is incorrect. It was a fake Ken Rosenthal account identical to his verified account. No tentative agreement. Nonetheless, Lee is strongly leaning toward signing with Philly.

EDITED. Jayston Stark and Jon Heyman reporting that Lee deal is close and that he'll be leaving a lot of money on the table if he does choose Philly. Halladay Lee Hamels Oswalt is insane.
