Buy a new one because fixing the old one is probably going to just lead to frustration and headache.Besides,a five year old TV is ancient.

Well this bodes well for the American league team.I dont think he will get any action though.

Happy Birthday to the king of erotic avatars.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 07:57 AM) Money Yeah but the Bears arent really in the position to give him alot.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 07:55 AM) I've been following this thread from the start, and haven't chimed in (that I recall). That should tell you plenty about my feelings about it. So your still on the fence about the situation.

QUOTE (yoyozuna @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 08:45 AM) I dont care about that 3rd base piece of crap on the n-side. I am wondering if anyone agrees with me on PK. He is really quite pathetic right now and if he was juicing all those years when he was playing good then I lost respect for the man. KW should just cut him and PK can go open a gym or juice stand with Sexson!!!!! No I dont agree with you.And honestly you have taken the PK bashing to another level of ridiculousness that I didnt think was possible.

I love how the A's will give millions to a f***ing 16 year old ,yet proven major leaguers they question every dollar they dish out to them.

Whats the over/under on how many games Harden will last until his arm falls off?I say on his 4th start the injury fairy will make a visit.

I would first buy a large bottle of water.Than buy a pound of asparagus.Eat and drink all of that up and then go to my boss's office and pee on her computer.

Danks is gonna stick it up his old teams flaming ranger today.

GO.AWAY.ASSHOLE.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 12:38 PM) so what you're basically saying is it's Paul's fault the hitters behind him don't drive him in. Ok. Paul is no more a liability on the basepaths than any numbers of slow fatasses in the league such as Jason Giambi or anyone else. PK is the slowest individual in baseball.I cant think of anyone even close to him.EDIT:I dont know how you got me completely bashing PK but its your fault Hibbard.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 01:14 PM) In 2007, his .841 OPS puts him 62nd out of 216 MLB hitters with 400 or more plate appearances. That puts him basically in the top 25% of all hitters - in what we're considering a "down" year. And the reason why we're considering it a "down year" is because the previous 2 seasons, Konerko's OPS was in the top 27 of all of baseball both seasons (again, min 400 plate appearances) - in the top 12% of all hitters. In 2004 he was 33rd in OPS with the same constraints - again in the top 15 percentile. That's a pretty f***ing awesome four year run. Over the four year period 2004-2007, you'd be hardpressed to find a more productive hitter. Certainly Pujols and ARod, possibly Bonds...but who else? I can think of maybe 4 or 5 hitters who had similar or better cumulative stats in terms of OPS, total homers and RBI. Iam strictly talking about 07' to 08'.First off its not exactly the top 25% of all hitters in OPS it would be closer to the top 35 to 40%.Secondly you just cant take Konerko's OPS numbers as seriously because he is even worse than a station to station guy,he is not productive when he gets on base and he clogs them up more than anything.You might as well throw OPS out the window with him IMO.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 12:48 PM) Konerko's OPS last year was .841 His OPS in 2000 - which many would categorize as a "good" season in which he hit .280 - was .844. His OPS in 2001 - another "good" season in which he hit over .290 - was .856 in 2002 - he batted .304 with an .857 OPS. Those are very comparable. If we can all agree that OPS is a pretty good measure of offensive production, last season the only difference was his average took somewhat of a hit compared to those other "good" seasons while his power numbers were up. Thats all fine and dandy but those stats dont indicate how many times you and I both yelled "f***ing Konerko!Cant come through again!",for the past year and a half.And you know its true.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 12:31 PM) Btw, this is not based on what he did 2-3 years ago. This is base on what this guy has done nearly every year over the last 8 years of his major league career. Even last year's "disappointing" .259 campaign was still a relatively productive season. Disappointing shouldnt be in quotes because by his standards it WAS disappointing.Baseball is a patient sport that gives you many opportunities to get back on track so it stands out big time when you cant get your s*** together in a matter of a year and a half.Ask Richie Sexon.

For the record I just wanna say that Iam not saying the Sox should trade Konerko.But this mentality going around this team of totally dismissing bad performance because what they did two and three years ago drives me crazy.There should be some type of consequence for not doing your job,maybe you should sit for a game or a week.Put the players in that are going to get it done that day and stop nurturing their fragile egos.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 10:41 AM) Anyone play the game "Butts Up". That was a classic. You really continue to put yourself out there,dont you?

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 09:09 AM) we couldn't win it with "That Jim Thome" about a month and a half ago...but look what happened.... Yes he came around to start hitting.All Iam saying is ,it is possible that PK does not come out of this and that dont just assume because he is the mighty PK he is going to be a world beater the second half of this season.I hope he does come out of this.

The problem is its not just one bad game.After a while you really question if he can come out of this because this team cant win a championship with this Paulie.You have to ask yourself what are the consequences if he doesnt come out of this.If you completely dismiss rectifying the situation now you might regret it later.
