Don Cooper looks very frustrated with Freddy.

I love Scott Podsednik.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 08:37 PM) Ah....one of the most hated pitchers in baseball vs one of the most hated batters. The only thing that might top that is Steve Kline vs Barry Bonds. Why do people hate Weaver?

I don't think the personal attacks are called for here.

Almost as funny to me as Garland:

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 11:50 AM) I just love this picture. Even though Doug Eddings will always have a place in my heart. I love it.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 10:11 AM) His current contract has 3 years left on it including this one, and a $14 million option for a 4th year. What I might consider doing if Thome gets through this season completely healthy? Pull a Chipper Jones. In exchange for giving Jones the option year of his contract as a guaranteed year, the Braves got him to agree to cut his salary by a couple million in the couple years beforehand. The Sox might be able to save themselves a million or two for each of the next 2 years if they tried something similar with Thome. Jim's making a total of $14,166,667 this year and I think the next 2 years also...say we go to him and ask him if he'll take a cut to $12-$13 million for each of the next 2 years if we guarantee him the 09 season at $12 million. We'd cut the amount we're spending on him the next 2 years and lock him up for another year at a cheaper rate than we would by picking up the option that year. I like it.

I love Mark Buehrle.

I very much prefer DJ, as a person and an announcer.

I, uh, think Jim McMahon counts as a Bears Quarterback who won a playoff game he started. Last I checked he, uh, won a Super Bowl, too. I love Jim McMahon.

QUOTE(Walker2Baines @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 01:36 AM) This from Baseball Reference's Similar Pitchers through Age 26 John Candelaria (957) Mike Hampton (949) Mark Mulder (945) Jim Merritt (944) Tom Glavine (942) Bill Monbouquette (940) Ross Grimsley (939) Dave McNally (937) Mark Gubicza (936) Tony Cloninger (935) Of those listed only Glavine will make the HOF. Others fizzled out for whatever reason. So please stop this BS about MB. He's nothing about a crybaby. Hey MB great game vs Seattle. Hey are they cheating??? I luuuuv it when you analyze. :rolly

I don't have any inside information or anything, but I don't doubt that they dislike each other. It just comes off that way to me.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 08:50 AM) I think they're two of the biggest assholes in baseball. Both of them think they're larger than the game. At least I'll give Schilling credit for being a good teammate. I don't think Curt's a good teammate, personally. He's the one who came out and said he deserved the Cy Young instead of Randy Johnson when they were teammates. Although his level of asshole behavior doesn't match Bonds by any stretch of the steroid.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 07:00 PM) Eh, I dispise Boston more than any team in MLB, so I'll take it.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 09:53 PM) f*** the cy young race when it's at the expense of the al central race. I don't think it's at the expense of the Central Race at all. ::shrug:: It's not like I'm rooting for the Sox to lose the Central and Mark Buehrle to win a Cy Young instead. QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 09:55 PM) I've seen more posts about people rooting for players against the Sox this year, cause they're on their fantasy team, than I saw all of last year. The Cy Young race isn't decided in April. If people really thought that Josh Beckett was going to win it, they're dumber than ESPN. I've never rooted for someone against the Sox because of Fantasy Team stats. I don't think you were referencing me, but given the context I wanted to say that.

Anything that pushes Buehrle/Contreras forward in the Cy Young race by lowering the stats of others is fine by me.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 09:01 PM) Suspend him for the rest of this season, make him do anger management, and review things next February. You can't do that, period. Lifetime is too much, but he should for sure be done playing baseball in 2006. Indeed. I'd be embarrassed to sign such a s***head.

27-18 crack me up.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 05:42 PM) He'll be 39 when this contract is over. Provided he's not declining when his contract's over, I'd seriously consider resigning him.

QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 09:37 PM) You've never seen Ace Ventura, Pet Detective? Nope. I'm totally a Packers fan.

I wonder if he'd take less money from the White Sox to stay in Chicago when his contract is up.

No matter how anyone tries to spin it, I will always be appalled by the fact that the President of the United States authorized the stealthy invasion of a country as large as Iran with a handful of helicopters and thought that this was the best course of action he could possibly take.

QUOTE(SnB @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 11:45 AM) probably the best thing to ever come out of willie's keyboard. A quote from an AIM conversation (11:59:04) ChiSox7546: i have the best stratgey ever (11:59:07) ChiSox7546: if i dont know an answer (11:59:09) ChiSox7546: i do C (11:59:10) ChiSox7546: for Crede That went through my mind today, and I smiled so wide.
