QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 29, 2010 -> 11:32 PM) Wow, I really tried to like Scott Pilgrim but I just couldn't. It was like watching ADHD happen. And it just pissed me off. I liked the whole video game thing, but I couldn't handle everything just bouncing around. Just too much for me. Thank you, I really don't know what the hype is all about.

Garnder doesn't put this team over the top, I won't even comment on the Beckham to 3B and CQ for Howie Kendrick trade proposal... As of right now everyone is saying Jake will be ready to go Opening Day, and until Kenny signs a cheap starter, I believe he is coming back in April. I don't see how you can think otherwise, and I don't understand why the coaching staff would be bluffing about Peavy's comeback. This isn't the Chicago Cubs organization.

If Oney responded in an intelligent/mature way, there is no issue today. Too bad he act like a 15 year internet thug behind a computer screen.

I wonder if this is going to go national... Oney really let himself go on that one.

QUOTE (everafan @ Dec 28, 2010 -> 06:48 PM) He tweeted - @cst_Cowley cst_Cowley This just in: add Arizona clubby to the world's most dangerous jobs list. Cowley style somewhat tasteless joke but I don't see how this confirms anything. Pretty sure Colwey found out about it from Oney like the rest of us.

QUOTE (everafan @ Dec 28, 2010 -> 06:44 PM) What about Cowley? He is truly unprofessional. He pretty much confirmed the clubby story in a cowardly way. How did he?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 28, 2010 -> 06:37 PM) I'm sure you are correct. Maybe its because there was a 99.99 percent chance this was going to get ugly, and maybe its because Jenks started it, but I'm actually not annoyed with Oney's tweets for the first time ever. Maybe because this time Oney is defending both Ozzie and Kenny (White Sox) instead of attacking the second one.

Meanwhile Oney finally got a hold of the story and he is letting BOBBY have it! Oney Guillen twitter.

Jenks not happy with the way White Sox let him go.

Put me in the camp that hopes for Peavy to be back in MAY the latest! In the recent article on the official site Merkin speculated Kenny "Williams still appears to be in search of another low-cost starter or another veteran reliever" If you ask me he's probably waiting it out to have a better idea about Jake's return.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 26, 2010 -> 08:23 PM) Why then does KW have Viciedo working out at 3B daily this offseason with Joey Cora? That's the spot he can find major league playing time in 2011. I'm sure he's been told that. He appears to be a guy that needs a carrot in front of his nose for maximum results. Not questioning you but you mind sharing the source of these news? Now I know this isn't a credible source of news of any kind but looking at the White Sox Depth Chart (updated Dec 26) Dayan Viciedo is no where to be found and Morel seems penciled in at 3B, while Dayan is a third string backup at 1B and DH. Link. Once again, I know this means absolutely nothing, yet it is interesting.

Now let me say here that I know Scott Merkin isn't the most reliable source when it comes to news/information but here is some stuff from his last two columns over at the official website. This taken from: With Jenks' departure, White Sox 'pen in flux Another piece is from Merkin's Inbox where he tries to answer fans' (mostly DUMB) questions: Link to the inbox: here.

Does anyone who subscribes to insider mind sharing this http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/blog?name=o...&id=5946049 piece with us. It's Olney on top 10 (11) rotation in baseball. Curious to see where he projects and what he says about the White Sox.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 07:52 AM) Matt Thornton. Still think it's Chris Sale.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 03:01 PM) You realize he meant wins above replacement, right? To be fair he DID write 3-4 wins not 3-4 WAR pitcher

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 03:35 PM) 1. DH by committee wasn't a failure, the players IN IT were the failure. 2. Closer by committee is not the same animal, at all. They really are not comparable situations. Yet the DH by committee idea was quickly replaced by Adam DUNN Closer by committee could work, just color me skeptical.

Hopefully this 'chance to close some games' is just a pr move trying to convince him to sign here. Don't want no part of closing by committee, after the DH committee fiasco we went through last year.

QUOTE (balfanman @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 02:47 PM) The Tribune article said 14 million. I like the deal overall, but this makes it a little less palatable. Tribune is wrong. $13M. Merkin/Official piece. Cowley/SunTimes piece.

What was reported long ago is now official. Finally. Crain to the Sox 3-years, $13 mil. $4 mil in '11. $4.5 mil each in '12 and '13. - Doug Padilla

Ankiel signed with Nats 1y/1.5M another 1.25 in bouneses Kearns re-signed with Indians, one year, major league deal.

#mets, #yankees and others have asked for medicals on freddy garcia, the 2nd best free-agent pitcher left, after pavano - Jon Heyman I guess Freddy is about to get paid this offseason.

QUOTE (quickman @ Dec 19, 2010 -> 10:30 AM) Did the sox officially announce this guy yet? If not why not? Ever since the rumors came out, they said announcement early next week as in tomorrow or Tuesday probably. (Pending physical)

Rock, can you confirm Sox really had a 3+ million offer to Wood?

Kerry Wood signs one-year, $1.5 M deal with Cubs - Chris DeLuca WOW, ahhahahahahaha.
