That "no" picture isn't big enough.

Perhaps Bard and Feliz would have crapped out nearly right away if they were given starting roles. Perhaps they should have always been relievers.

"Its conceivable . . . " is the quote. I already knew that.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 29, 2014 -> 01:11 PM) The Sox and Yankees are actually great matches if they wanted to pursue a deal. What would be a probably great match for the white sox that the yankees would give up?

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Sep 29, 2014 -> 01:03 PM) MLB Network last night was discussing how the Yankees would replace Jeter. I immediately thought of Alexei Ramirez. This has probably been discussed numerous times, but I wondering if they have anything worthwhile to give the Sox. I doubt they would give up more than what he brings on the field.

Either is one of the most inconsistent hitters in baseball if I remember correctly. I believe I read an article stating he is the most inconsistent/streaky hitter in baseball about 2-3 years ago.

What do you think AZ could get for Reed today?

QUOTE (chisoxfan310 @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 03:47 PM) Nooooo way the O's pick up their portion of that though. Hes owed what, 17 mill? He Wil get bought out at then re-signed for cheaper. Maybe there will be bad blood then he will sign cheaper elsewhere, and have something to prove.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 03:25 PM) Max you could still reverse the trade and make Reed a setup guy like the Royals have in Davis. Yeah but he would be an awful set up man too. It solves none of the bullpen problems to have him back if he performs like he did this year. If he performs much better than this year its a different story. You can say the same for Davidson in that respect. Which is most likely to improve greatly? The guy who is 23 or the guy who is 26?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 03:22 PM) Here's the question I must ask to those who blast Addison and still like Davidson. Simple question: If right now you could trade Davidson for Reed, would you make the trade? If they would agree to the deal right now to reverse last year's trade. I would trade Davidson for Reed right now and take my chances opening next season with Reed in the closer role. No. I wouldn't. I'd look for someone to better fill that closer role. Reed was awful.

Id take markakis. I'm assuming he doesn't make anywhere near as much money.

Trade everyone!

D- Seriously?

QUOTE (The Mighty Mite @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 08:22 PM) IIRC There was only one player in the AL to hit .300 in 1968 and that was Yaz at .301. The next year they lowered the mound 6 inches. Were the NL and AL mound heights different? Because the NL was killin it.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 02:56 PM) No there really isnt. Kobe admitted to having sex with her. AP admitted to hitting the kid. Rice admitted to hitting his wife. Each situation they argue that their are circumstances that either mitigate or justify the actions. /shrugs At least call a spade a spade. Two are crimes, one isn't. That's the end of the argument for me.

Having sex isn't a crime. Physically disciplining to the point of drawing blood is. Peterson admitted he did that. It doesn't matter how he phrased it.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 02:48 PM) Not really. Kobe admitted to having sex with a girl, the district attorney/girl thought it was rape. AP admitted to disciplining his child, the da/mother may think it is child abuse. Its entirely the same, AP has never said "Yeah I abused my kid", the same way Kobe never said "yah I raped the girl." But neither deny the action, both argue that there were circumstances that justify the action. Same thing. Kobe wasn't on video raping a girl. Pictures of the rape were not available to the public. Its not the same. There is much more evidence that is public in these cases, coupled with admission of some guilt.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 02:43 PM) Kobe admitted to having sex with a 19 year old girl. The rest is really irrelevant because what we are talking about is the NFL suspending players who are currently being charged with crimes. The equivalent would have been Kobe suspended while the rape case was going on. (edit) Im not going to get into whether raping a girl or hitting your kid with a stick is better/worse. If he admitted to rape he would have been suspended. If he were on video raping, the same. His sponsors would have terminated their contracts. That's the point, not to compare the actions.

Peterson is an admitted child abuser, not a formerly accused rapist, or admitted adulterer. Its different. More than Peterson's actions, which I believe he now realizes how wrong he was - the NFL's response to this and the ray rice situation sickens me. They should fire goodell for certain. Its been handled beyond poorly.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 02:31 PM) Kobe has a lot of sponsors too. Kobe admitted what? Was found guilty of what?

Well he is still faster than slovenians.

Two teams have 3 perfect games I think. The white sox and yankees.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 08:15 PM) No risk move...so that's hard to hate, but the odds weren't in favor of the Sox. That said, he's really been a 4 starter and a borderline 3 for most of the 2nd half of the season. Has progressed quite nicely. Of course, the same thing happened with Phil Humber and then he fell off a cliff after throwing that no hitter against the Mariners. PERFECT GAME. most ridiculous one in baseball history. need to give it what its due.

I see the humor too though.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 07:01 PM) I laughed. He was treated like absolute s*** by fans, even though after 2011 he was productive. Also, I read it more as "I understand getting mad at guys you want to produce." QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 07:11 PM) Exactly. QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 07:16 PM) For real? C'mon man, lighten up. I dunno maybe I am off base. I could give a flying f*** about my fantasy team compared to 'my team'. That's why I was a bit insulted.
