QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 20, 2011 -> 11:07 PM) Would have to guess they're going to wait and see how things play out with Viciedo and Aroldis Chapman before they invest $30+ million in another Latin American player. We really don't need another outfielder right now, unless he's a pure centerfielder and true leadoff hitter. And those guys have been elusive for CF ever since he became the GM. How do you figure? We have Viciedo and Rios and Quentin, with Quentin likely to be traded. Unless you really want to go in to the season with a De Aza-Rios-Viciedo outfield. For me, I expect De Aza and Rios to be platooning for most of the year.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 20, 2011 -> 05:55 PM) When does Quentin officially lose the "T" in TCQ? When he wears another team's jersey.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Dec 20, 2011 -> 06:20 PM) According to Knobler and a few others on MLB radio.. The Sox are very interested in Cespedes now. Good. I was hoping they would at least make some effort there.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 20, 2011 -> 05:10 PM) Dotel got 1/$3.5M with $4M guaranteed while Frasor gets $3.75M. So there's your one. Hmmmmmmm....

We've pretty much been hearing this for over a week or two now. Not really news at all.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 19, 2011 -> 11:15 PM) Didn't he insist like 3-4 years ago (around the time Matsuzaka came over) that he would never come to the US to play MLB? IIRC, he said he wouldn't come over until he set the all-time record for wins in Japan, which meant he probably wouldn't come over for another 10 years, obviously, that didn't happen.

From MLBTR talking about the Reds....."but they continue to search for a closer and a left fielder". If I am Kenny Williams, I am calling up and offering Thornton and Quentin for Devin Mesoraco and others, but I am not so sure that the Reds want to trade Mesoraco after they just traded Grandal. Daniel Corcino seems like the type of guy Kenny would want too.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 19, 2011 -> 08:52 PM) Let's not get crazy here. At most, I nodded gratefully that they finally did something of note. I mean't "we all" as in me and the people I was watching it with. During the boring parts of Homeland we were discussing the ending of Dexter.

False.

For some reason I REALLY want to play the new Cabela's hunting game, but I'm not sure where I can rent it.

Yeah, Homeland really left us with nothing to talk about or look forward to next season. Nothing excites me about Brody going to be a policitian, and we have no idea what is going to happen with Carrie, so there is really nothing to discuss. After it ended I just kind of went "Hmm... Ok". Whereas after Dexter we all went "Holy s***! Where are they going to go from here!?!?"

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 19, 2011 -> 03:52 PM) But Justin Upton plays RF. Clearly I'm talking about Parra.

Dbacks signed Jason Kubel to play LF....which makes a certain gold glove OF expendable..... You all know where I am going with this!

C-C-C-C-C-Combo Breaker!

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 19, 2011 -> 03:01 AM) No offense, but this entire season has been incredibly predictable. It's almost as if the show is written by very unoriginal fans of the early Dexter seasons. I'm not sure how obvious it was that Deb would find out about Dexter. The Gellar thing, yeah, that was painfully obvious as the episodes went on, but I'm not so sure that Deb finding out about Dexter was telegraphed. In any event, I'm just excited that I am completely clueless about where the show goes from here. So many possibilities of where they can go.

*swish*

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 18, 2011 -> 10:58 PM) At least they did something interesting this season. The problem I see is that Dexter can pretty much just say that he walked in on Colin Hanks (I've seriously already forgotten his name on the show) and decided to kill him himself. He'd only have to hide the kill tools. But at least they delivered on the promise to give us something that will change the show. Or Deb blackmails Dexter for sex.....awwww yeeeaaaa

Tebow/God SNL skit... http://www.hulu.com/watch/311565/saturday-night-live-tebow

QUOTE (pktmotion @ Dec 18, 2011 -> 03:42 AM) http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2011/12/reds...r-pitching.html I wonder if a Danks for Bailey and Mesoraco might still be in play? One can dream. No not want. I'd rather keep proding the Yankees/Blue Jays to see what package they are willing to offer.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 18, 2011 -> 02:05 AM) I thought it was coming out later but saw it on the site I watch all my tv shows on. Linky to it. Well now I'm confused. Showtime's website says Jan. 8th.....

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 18, 2011 -> 01:30 AM) Sunny was great, some great references to running jokes in that episode. Glad to have Shameless back, I love those characters. It doesn't come back until Jan. 8th though, right?

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Dec 17, 2011 -> 01:59 PM) When they showed Mac in what the dance really looked like I was laughing my ass off. yeah, that was hilarious.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 17, 2011 -> 03:34 AM) That's the first thing I noticed was that the girl looked and sounded like Ellen Page. Looks like, yes, but I don't think they sound the same.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Dec 17, 2011 -> 03:05 AM) This trailer popped up on my PS3 and I'm very intrigued. Hopefully it gets good reviews. Naughty Dog already has a good rep though so I'm optimistic. And I love Ellen Page.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Dec 16, 2011 -> 02:00 PM) Read somewhere today that Blue Jays were the winners in the Yu Darvish sweepsteaks. FWIW Until we know for sure on Tuesday, when Nippon accepts the bid, I won't expect any movement from other starting pitchers.
