Cunningham reported to be one of the pieces, along with Inoa. Dont know how reliable that source is. EDIT: Looks to be a false rumor. Now seeing this being reported: According to ESPN Chicago, the Cubs have traded Jake Fox and Aaron Miles to the A's for RHP Jeff Gray, RHP Ronny Morla and INF/OF Matt Spencer.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 3, 2009 -> 01:35 AM) Danks is decent: Career: 31-33 - 4.06 ERA - .258 AVG - 1.33 WHIP That is 3rd or 4th starter material on an average MLB staff. Wow, youre really going to include his rookie season where he obviously was adjusting to ML talent?

Bump, just got offered the position! Im still in disbelief as I was going up against juniors and seniors for the position (I am a soph) and I am stoked for this.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Dec 1, 2009 -> 03:33 PM) He only did it once, a week ago? Just drink a lot of water and he should be good. If he has a normal metabolism the body should get rid of it in, say, 4 days. If he smokes every day, that's when the body starts storing it in fat cells before getting rid of it so that's why you hear people talking about the 30 days and all that. Ill pass it along, thats good to know. I have never had to worry about a drug test since I stopped it a long time ago so I had no idea what to tell him. It was just that once so he should be good then. Thanks guys for the responses.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 1, 2009 -> 03:46 PM) Cranberry juice does wonders, or they do have cleansing pills at a local Walgreens/grocery store as well or an enchanted green tea of some kind can help as well. Are they doing hair samples or is he peeing in a cup? He doesnt know, they just told him that they would send him a packet of info on nearby places to go for testing and that its a 24 hour policy after receiving the package.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 1, 2009 -> 02:57 PM) Complete blood transfusion should do the trick.

So this may seem weird but does anybody know any detox methods for weed? A friend of mine just got a job offer a week ago and is worried about a drug test (and yes, it really is a friend). Any safe, proven methods? Kinda funny it was his first time doing it then got the offer (im guessing this helps with only a little bit in his system).

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 29, 2009 -> 11:12 PM) She just can't close out a check like she used to either... Yet gratuity keeps going up.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 02:15 PM) This is exactly how I feel. I came away with absolutely nothing. I almost bought myself a few things that I didn't really need just to get something, but decided I didn't need to spend the money. I think the deals this year were very subpar. Online shopping is the way to go now. Just as cheap if not cheaper, no lines, no waking up at 2:30 am, alot of times no tax, free shipping is standard now.

I dont know if I can watch this, I really wanted them to just end Scrubs on that good note. I really hope they arent dragging this out anymore and its just crap. If theyre doing this it better be good (and if it is Im all for it )

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Nov 24, 2009 -> 11:06 AM) Already bought an HP laptop, my Dell did me good for 6.5 years but I continue to have more and more problems ever since the two times I reformatted it. Arriving Dec. 1st I'll probably hit up some of the movie deals on black Friday like usual. Thinking of upgrading to the Droid from my Krave too. Idk yet. Check out amazon and Walmart for movie deals. As for Tex, I havent seen many external hard drive deals, so I would check out this deal. Its gotten great reviews and a $100 is solid but not great (pretty good deal but not much lower than everywhere else). If you can handle an ipod nano I would go with this deal. Just follow the instructions there. And agreed on slickdeals.net, that place is awesome and I use it all the time!

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Nov 23, 2009 -> 05:53 PM) But aren't you contradicting yourself? You can't call it a bad team and then say coaching is clearly the problem. Here's the issue: Illinois has a talented bunch of players. They are not a team. THAT is on the coaching staff which is why Zook should go (and I love me some Ron Zook). Enthusiasm only takes you so far. Terrible team leadership and focus is another issue that I blame on the players but mostly on the coaches too.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 18, 2009 -> 11:02 AM) I plan on picking it up. Just bought it on Amazon along with seasons 1-4 for $50. Woot!

QUOTE (The Beast @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 11:58 PM) Who is the internship with and what are you doing for the company? Potentially with WW Grainger working as an Enterprise Systems intern, not to sure still on the specific work but all IT related and my guess is SAP heavy.

QUOTE (wsgdf_2 @ Nov 18, 2009 -> 10:36 PM) Cowley probably does come here and read. FWIW - when I saw the tweets you guys posted and heard about his Score interview I pretty much figured he was partially reacting to what's been posted about him here for the past couple of years. Frankly, I never really got what all the over the top criticism was about. Just look at the lack of professionalism he showed in his email replies.

Can't believe that they are basically siding with Cowley and saying the report is false, dont they understand that its preliminary talks and that the site actually said that they just talked, nothing was in place yet? They did absolutely no research on their part to even see if the source was legit, they just didnt recognize the Sox Net name so dismissed it as a Tribune ploy. Disgusting.

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 05:06 PM) They're talking football now, but I assume they'll get back to this after this interview. What were they saying as a tagline?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 06:00 PM) uh oh! Just turned on. This should be interesting! Any details?

I would love to work for the Sox one day in the emerging technology department or some sort of IT work with them. After working in the IT field for awhile I want to teach and advise college or high school students.

Congrats! I am currently waiting for an internship offer (dont know if it will be given to me or not). Should arrive this week, keeping my fingers crossed.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 16, 2009 -> 05:01 PM) that is my understanding He can be listed as a PTBNL pretty much cutting that number in half I believe (basically still under Sox control until given away at time of the year passing).

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Nov 16, 2009 -> 02:41 PM) I cringe everytime we talk about Sox prospects being dealt. Why? Who has really burned us in the past? As much potential as these guys are showing, if you land AGon its totally worth it. I mean, the probability all of the prospects will reach their potential is ridiculously low.

Anybody listen to Aesop Rock? I think a few of his songs are really good.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 14, 2009 -> 09:18 AM) There are a few places near Schaumburg that you could go. RAM steakhouse, Weber Grill, there is a Italian place on Meacham I think is called Rose Italian Eatery(near Meacham and 72/Higgins). You could also head out to the new South Barrington Arboretum(Higgins and 59), and they have a Ruths Chris Steakhouse, Coopers Hawk Winery and Steakhouse, and then across 59 near 90 there are a few more restaurants like Claim Jumper. Thats Rosebud I believe (and if not they have a few locations around and I really recommend them), fantastic Italian food in a bit more of a formal setting and its a bit more in terms of money, but servings are huge and delicious.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 13, 2009 -> 10:56 AM) Anyone else catch 30 Rock last night? They had these two quick shots of a show called "Sports Shouting" that were just awesome. For extra entertainment, pause the show at that point, and look at the crawl text on the screen. Were some of them, they were great!
