What are thh cap ramifications of waiving players? The Hawks are turning into a cash cow and can eat salary for cap relief.

Why isn't CJ in the starter conversation? If Nix and Getz improve upon last year they are both fine. If they do not, neither is worth anything and thus CJ should get a shot.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 08:23 AM) Big Bang Theory was great last night. That show is great. That could be some of the best comedic acting on television as it is very unique to he specific characters.

CJ's ability to play all 9 positions, especially to catch in a pinch, could put he and Flowers on this team so AJ or Flowers could DH/pinch hit and catch as Ozzie does not like to lose the backup catcher.

That Bronco O line is sick. Killer Kyle literally sat back there for 10 seconds on a couple of plays. Yes the football stupid will be on the radio all day.

Watch the Bears o-line on sweeps if you are looking for further proof that they are really bad. They get out there but other than taking up space, serve no purpose.

The Pace f'up was bad but nowhere in the league of Ron Turner who seems unable to figure out to score from the red zone. The Earl Bennett OPI was worse. Matt Forte looks terrible. Even when he has holes there is no explosion why there wasn't another back signed is beyond me. How this team feels they can carry just Forte and Wolfe is beyond me. Why does the NFL treatthe Turner brothers so well? Have either accomplished anything?

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Oct 16, 2009 -> 11:42 PM) Wale stays with the franchise tag Why would he deserve anything close to top five money he could arguably be the Bears fourth best DE.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 05:39 PM) Because historically a large percentage of weird domestic s*** happens in Florida. Weird international s*** is predominantly German by nature. Thus the classic Loveline game, Germany Or Florida? Exactly.

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this was, it had to have happened in Florida.

QUOTE (Disco72 @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 11:08 PM) Any Sons of Anarchy fans? I know it's been discussed in the TV threads before. Lots of stuff going down in tonight's episode. I like the show but forget that it is on. Missed the last two weeks and after reading the spoiler I guess I missed a-lot.

The bigger problem is that the banks are double dipping. You pay interest usually over 20% on the overdraft funds as well as the fee. Citibank hit me with the fee and I was unaware of it as they instituted the policy out of nowhere. I move the money from an interest bearing account to my 0% interest checking account weekly. Now every time I go over I get charged $10.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 10:24 AM) Why I worry about Rio... http://www.tnr.com/blog/the-plank/could-th...%E2%80%99s-poor That right there is why I find it really funny that people thought Rio was a better choice than Chicago. The crime and corruption in Chicago...give me a f***ing break. The two weeks of congestion also get me as the f***ing marathon has added 20 minutes to my commute and the stupid thing is still four days away.

Mark Kotsay hits the Cyification type pitchers (i.e. Cyasaurus from Seattle and Trevor Cahill). He is a good LH platoon bat off the bench that can play four positions.

I do not think Thome will be back. I think the Sox want to carry additional flexability and want a guy that can DH and play the field. Possibly carry three catchers, Flowers, AJ and a defensive guy.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 01:38 PM) Between Huet and Campbell, the 2008 off-season could CRIPPLE this franchise for a very long time. The Hawks could look like the cubs in a hurry with their desire to use free agency as a marketing tool. Their cap is going to look real ugly.

Kyle Orton is 3-0 Jay Cutler is 2-1 anyone that thinks Orton is close to Cutler is a moron. Carry on

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 10:42 AM) Here's an idea, take that millions of dollars you were getting from private entities and do something productive... fix the damn school. Private money can not go to the schools. The Olympic bid was a private untaking which I would say 95% of Chicago citizens do not understand. Daley really should have taken a backseat in this. A private entity can not earmark money for public schools.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 09:38 AM) I'm calling the upset win for Madrid; Spain's Juan Antonio Samaranch and his old boy network of European take advantage of a split between Chicago and Rio in the early rounds of voting, and IOC gives it to Madrid as sort of a "lifetime achievement" award to its former president. Will give Eurpoe the 2012, 2014 and 2016 games not real likely.

If the DH is an actual position player unlike Thome and Thomas were, then three catchers can be had if one can be a servicable DH. The rotation next year should allow for as little as 11 pitchers as all 5 guys should be able to go 6 or 7 nightly...assuming the offense can score a little more than this year.

If Verlander has to pitch Sunday, any chance the Tigers had in the first playoff series is gone unless they bring him back early.

I love the city of Chicago and I love the Olympics. Tomorrow could be a greater day that October 26, 2005.

I will say this again, Mark Kotasay will be the 2010 version of Ellis Burks.....herm'll fix him. I have no issue with Pods, Kotsay and a good RH bat off the bench to work for one spot a game.
