QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Mar 4, 2010 -> 04:11 PM) I guess AJ still being boo'ed by Angels fans, LOL. AJ Pierzynski was voted the most hated player in the league by the fans when Barry Bonds was still in the league. He's going to get booed everywhere.

MLB was way cooler when they broadcast Spring Training games for free on MLB.TV

If you take all of the worst things about the second teams in cities (Sox - no respect, Mets - constantly disappointing, Clippers - perennial losers), and put them into one football team, you get the Buffalo Bills.

QUOTE (scenario @ Mar 4, 2010 -> 03:17 PM) Hard to look at the averages as an indicator of his development though. He was tearing up the league until he got hurt. Then he went into the tank. But when healthy again in the fall, he tore up the AFL. So, who knows? But... I think it's likely that the Sox will take the safe route with him and give him at least one more full year in the minors. He was still striking out too much in the AFL, but his other numbers look really good. He absolutely needs to start making better contact.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Mar 4, 2010 -> 12:12 AM) If we have PK and AJP due to come off the books at a value of 18 million and we are able to trade for AGon under acceptable terms would it make sense to offer him either 5/110 or 5/115 or 6/135 or 6/140? That puts the value slightly above Teixeira's 8/180 and keeps him in a Sox uniform until he is 35 when he should still be productive. That keeps the number of years reasonable and gives him more than market value. Or backload the contract with something like Year 1 - 18 mil, Year 2 - 18 mil, Years 3-6 25 Mil. Just an idea. The Sox are going to owe raises to Quentin and Danks as well as the escalating contracts of Peavy and Rios, just to name a couple. That $18 mill will vanish in a hurry.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 10:25 PM) Hmm, Hasheem Thabeet sent to D-League. That was such a bad pick, I'll never understand his predraft hype. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AmZ7...o&type=lgns Sounds like he's lived there his whole life. I'm heading home on Saturday morning for Spring Break, so if I get there in time to see some Thabeet, I'm going to do so.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Mar 3, 2010 -> 12:29 PM) Yeah, I don't care about Rios compared to Rowand. All I was saying is Rowand was not the superstar some fans' revisionist history makes him out to be. Rios isn't a bargain, but Rowand at SF money would have been wasted money as well. Rowand has limited upside as well. He's really only had 2 good seasons (both were fantastic seasons), and otherwise he's been a below average hitter his entire career, and his defense has really started to fall off quite a bit in the past few years. I think the most you can hope for out of Rowand is something along the lines of a .270/.330/.420/.750 with about 15 homers and 35 doubles with average to slightly above average defense. It's solid, but it's not outstanding. Rios can provide quite a bit more, and has, as recently as 2008 (.798 OPS), and if he can put up something around what he did in 2006 or 2007, he's going to be well liked on the South Side.

QUOTE (b-Rye @ Mar 3, 2010 -> 11:24 AM) RIOS: $9.7 million in 2010, $12 million each in 2011 and 2012 and $12.5 million apiece in 2013 and 2014, and $13.5 million team option for 2015 with a $1 million buyout. Rios isn't much of a bargain at all. That wasn't the point he was arguing

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Feb 28, 2010 -> 10:14 PM) This is good. In the meantime, keep this girl who you're making out with, at least on the side. Honestly, it's going to take some time to get the original girl off of your mind. At the same time, she's going to say and do s*** that'll make you say, "Wow, this is how you really are" now that you are outside of the relationship zone with this girl. You may think you love her and she just needs time to see that she loves you. It ain't going to work that way though. She's gonna slut around and come to you when she feels lonely, she's drunk, or she gets rejected until you flat out don't allow it. I figured I would respond to this. This girl who I've dated for 2 years and have been trying to get back (and dug myself a real deep hole this past weekend) is not the kind of girl who is going to go out and hook up with random dudes on random nights. And this other girl who I did mess around with isn't currently in school and isn't the kind of girl I would consider dating, and I really don't care for flings (though I apparently did this past weekend). Part of my desire to get her back I believe is because it's my first love, but I feel the biggest part of it is because she truly is an incredible girl. I wouldn't do this - atleast, I don't believe I'd do this - over some superficial bimbo who cares more about cock and partying than she does me. She means the world to me, and I did something really stupid, so, crazy as it is, I'm trying to get her back, again. Anyways, I'm giving her space right now to do thinking - last week of classes before spring break, and she'll be going out to see siblings on the west coast during her break - and if she talks to me right now, I'll talk; I'm not going to ignore her. In the meantime, I'm going to start doing some more things I said I would do at the beginning of last semester while continuing on with other aspects of my life I've improved and make myself an overall better person. After Spring Break, I'm going to try and set up a meeting...like going out for coffee or something...just to get a chance to talk to her in person, and I'll go from there. The goal of it all is to win her back over. If it doesn't work, then I've set myself up to go right back out into the single world. If it does, then I'm happy and I'm still a better person overall.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 11:05 PM) Quit smoking f@gs then. I see that word is a filter even though it doesn't always mean what it means. I don't really smoke any more. I had some this weekend, but that was about it. I just haven't run in a while.

It's fun to look at, but the 2006 team was far more talented than the 2005 team was, and that team, though winning 90 games, didn't really live up to everyone's expectations. These comparisons, quite frankly, don't mean a hell of a lot.

I definitely need to hit this up. What equipment do I need?

running hurts my lungggggggs

QUOTE (striker @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 11:27 AM) Agreed but they all also fell apart, Jenks regressing. So it's Cooper's fault that Jenks can't control how many double cheeseburgers he eats at McDonalds?

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 08:00 AM) Hell I got kicked out of my own bed by my room-mate in NY at 4 in the morning because he brought a girl home and wanted to "boink" her, as we used to say. But $20 for a guy at a strip club should at least get you a lap dance. Yeah if there's no cover charge.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Mar 1, 2010 -> 07:25 PM) wasn't he out that night drinking with Ozzie? Ozzie has said he wasn't out with him, but supposedly Garcia and Pena were.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 28, 2010 -> 11:18 PM) Well, if it makes you feel any better Blake, we are in the same boat now. Just broke up with my girlfriend as well... Yeah, that doesn't make me feel better. I may be sadistic and narcissistic, but I don't take pleasure in others losses. Sorry to hear about it. Maybe we should just go clubbing together

Yeah I know. It just sucks right now.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 28, 2010 -> 06:05 PM) Made out with some chick I met on Friday two straight nights. I feel like an idiot. Nice tits though. I figure I should clarify this a bit. Talking about the same girl originally, I've taken the advice to some extent, but I've still been hanging out with her quite a bit, and everything was going great. It felt like we were moving in the right direction and everything was going swimmingly, and it felt like we were back together. Then on Thursday, she drops this "I like being single and being able to flirt" line, and I got pissed. So I basically just followed this other girl home, and we talked for a while, and then started making out. Called her up last night again after the original girl was ignoring me, and we made out, some clothes came off, and we did basically everything other than f***. I'm OK with moving on, but I just did it poorly, and I feel terrible about it. I don't even care about this girl, and I care so much about the other. I'm stuck in this idealistic romantic mindset that me and the original girl will get everything worked out, we'll get hitched and ride into the sunset on a white horse. I was just confused, and now I'm depressed too.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 26, 2010 -> 12:05 PM) Has KW ever pushed someone up hard to make him look like better trade bait? I can think of the opposite done with pitchers (Gio, Carter), held back so their stats stayed up. Aaron Poreda

f***

Do you repsect a Ford Pinto? Do you respect a Chevy Tahoe? You answer those questions, and you get the answer to your question. Cops have a psychological role in the community until action calls, and then the lights themselves matter. If they drive around in a cheap car, they won't get respect, and never will get respect.

f*** and I do not like asterisks, especially when some super computer puts them in for me. If I want to say f***, I'll say f***. I don't say F-asterisk-asterisk-asterisk. Either that, or im about to get crazy on everyone with different variations of the word f***. Like, you know, fudge you, you farting cracker ass racist.
