max power

Some would apparently dispute that.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 22, 2011 -> 12:02 PM) I also just came across this while trying to follow up. DOn't know the source. 94wip 94 WIP SOURCE: #Phillies, Ryan Madson agree to one year, $8 million year to set up for Jonathan Papelbon. Madson will re-test market next year. That is way too much money.

I love this more than greg loves ozzie. Because I see this working out very favorably for the white stockings.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 17, 2011 -> 07:01 PM) No they wouldn't. That would value Danks at over $20 million for next year. I'd say to have a pitcher like danks locked up for only one season it would cost something like $20 mil. Perhaps more. Danks certainly wouldn't not sign a one year deal cheaply. For the right team, who is short prospects and hoping to win this year, it could happen.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 11:51 AM) Am I the only one who doesn't like these projections, I mean they are guesses, but I can probably guess better than that. I'd hope Viciedo hits more HR than Lillibridge for one.. I think that most of them are awful. Especially dunn, rios, & beckham. It looks like whoever made them used last year alone to make the projections. None of those guys bouncing back at all doesn't seem likely to me.

Hey borchard got us a pretty solid lefty in the pen for a number of years. I'll remember him fondly for that alone.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 16, 2011 -> 01:44 PM) No one will take Rios with any other piece the White Sox can offer. Rios + Danks for a player to be named later. Someone would do it.

Has everyone seen this vid? Pretty catchy imo. In case you didn't know . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMK9FKMG3Nc...player_embedded

Rios I would move with another piece. Dunn and peavy, no.

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 14, 2011 -> 09:31 PM) Can you believe how wrong Cowley got that? Here is the Peavy quote on top from the Trib and Cowley's column below. I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or what but these two parts seem to be most at odds, not the selection you picked from cowley.

He might be pissed off about his brother.

I'm not going to support Jake Peavy because he can't handle it when things that are obvious are being said about him.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 13, 2011 -> 07:47 AM) After 2008, the entire financial sector would have ceased to exist had the government not stepped in with several trillion dollars to keep the institutions currently on Wall Street in existence. Doing so was the right move, but a side effect of this move was the government's failure (by choice) to do anything about the entrenched group of people on Wall Street who caused the mess in the first place. Ok I agree with all that, but the individuals who are making millions pay millions in taxes (or at least I'd like to think so). Uncle sam in this case is partly themselves.

Fwiw, I read somewhere that they plan to test lance armstrongs frozen blood or peepee years from now. But. Its hard to say how long a test may maintain its accuracy when we don't know what is being tested yet.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 11, 2011 -> 11:16 PM) I actually thought Homeland was mediocre tonight, but finale looks great. Kinda bummed they seem to give so much away in the preview. I loved it. Also, claire danes was spectacular.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 11, 2011 -> 11:28 PM) Cmon, someone discuss Boardwalk. That was amazing. What will happen to Richard? I don't think he just goes away. Could have been a series finale. I have no idea where the show goes from here. I don't really care for the nucky character. Maybe it will draw me back in next year.

Yeah that's really bad. I don't notice little things like this when I watch fox business.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 09:38 PM) Thanks to trillions from uncle Sam. What? Care to explain?

I don't think a college degree gives a man or woman super brain powers so I find some of the comments here a bit odd. I am a hs graduate. I do understand tex, and agree with that his proposals are a good start.At one time I've traded forex, options, futures, equities, and spot metals and I've been profitible overall, especially this year. I am extremely intelligent and apt in math and science but trading for a living, with my own dime, has always been my career goal. There are many financial events that occur in which I do not fully understand without doing some research. I might spend more time delving into the workings of our financial markets structure but I don't see it making me much more money. You don't have to understand every little detail about a financial event when its the markets perception of the event that is important.

He just redeemed himself again.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 11, 2011 -> 06:09 PM) Barber redeems himself with that catcha little You mean that little "catch".

I bet he hits another bomb sometime this year.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 9, 2011 -> 12:35 PM) Substitute "Idiots" for "people who disagree with me" and your post makes much more sense. No that's not true. I don't agree with you often, and I don't think you are an idiot.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Dec 9, 2011 -> 12:43 AM) When your team does not appear to have an obvious direction, there are going to be a lot of varying opinions about where we ought to go and how we got here in the first place. I am certain everyone is sincere, but very few see eye to eye on everything. It was a lot simpler a year ago when the sentiment was "WOO DUNN!!!!!!!" and, like, two people saying "Boo, he strikes out too much and is an NL-only hitter". Also, that's a mighty high horse you got there, partner. Those aren't the types of posts that bother me. Its the posts in which the poster blatantly overlooks something obvious to the rest of the board and masquerades their opinion as logical merely to annoy those with a brain and a love of this team. I don't think its mighty high horse of me to be against this.

I am really tired of the idiots here. I don't believe for a second that many posters here are posting genuinely.
