max power

Well it seems like some people think this is a bad signing that could hurt the club. I don't see how when you compare it what they had in Fukudome last year.

I am at a 10.0 I can't wait to mow the lawn more.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 11:51 PM) When you get this excited over a hiring of a special assistant, it just means our off-season has been really boring. I would say that is because of the moves made a few days before the season ended. So its a technicality. Other than that, the off season is young.

QUOTE (Pale Sox @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 10:55 PM) It would be the same as using his picture on the team website, putting his picture on tickets or schedules or programs, etc. Using players to promote the team and thus ticket sales comes with the territory of being a player. They don't get paid extra for it. Do they get paid extra for appearing in commercials for the sox? I always assumed they did, but I am starting to think I'm wrong. I thought their contract was only about playing baseball, and they would get extra for all of those types of things.

QUOTE (Pale Sox @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 01:12 AM) They wouldn't have to pay him. Oh? Please elaborate on why. I am ignorant and curious.

My prediction is that he'll be better than Fukudome, for much less money.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) for those of you who watch homeland....brodys son looks like a mini jay cutler I watch the show every week. I hardly even noticed he has a son because of his wife.

Never mind. Its been said. I thought that was the end of the thread for some reason.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 04:31 PM) Cost-effective and good instead of overpaid and bad? None of the pitchers mentioned are bad.

I don't think that's a bad deal. He is likely to bounce right back and be an .800+ OPS guy again for two years. Not great out of your right fielder, not 'genius', but its a solid signing.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 29, 2011 -> 12:01 PM) Interesting chat with MLB union boss Michael Weiner http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7293543/qa-michael-weiner Even more interesting is that comb over he is rocking ever so hard.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 29, 2011 -> 05:05 PM) I like how they don't call it the "Paul Konerko plan", so they can still trade him. I think its so they don't have to pay him. I mean, he is on the team, but that is still an endorsement thing, right?

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Nov 28, 2011 -> 10:56 AM) No it's not.$21,000 is $21,000. And he was a complete stranger. How many people would refuse to give just $10 to a complete stranger. Nothing to knock down this story at all should be put forth Its neither as relative or as objective as either of you make it out to be.

Hopefully more coaches think they can do that to devin now.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 06:18 PM) There's still going to be a minute on the clock if they get a 3 and out. Or more. Still a glimmer of hope.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 06:05 PM) Man, we would have slaughtered this s*** team with Jay Cutler. When Palmer gets in sync with this team, and McFadden comes back, they will be a force.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 06:05 PM) That doesnt make sense Well that's what I assumed they did but I was asking myself the same question as you.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 06:02 PM) Why did they show only a 5 yard penalty on the hold? It was from the spot of the foul.

Stupid early to take a timeout. Stupid.

I'm guessing knox is in the game all game because he and hanie get a lot of work together. It looks like he has better timing with him than everyone else. I expect him to improve over the next few weeks and the bears to make the playoffs even if they lose this game.

I can't believe they are currently winning this game. Go bears.

In other news I think I just saw marion barber's thong.

Hanie is playing like tim teabow. Also, he isn't getting any help from his wideouts, which makes his bad play even worse.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 26, 2011 -> 05:14 PM) Might as well bring back Elton Brand and *Ron Artest while you're at it. *Metta World Peace

This is even better than the new owner I'd hoped for under the old rules.
