QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 27, 2011 -> 08:22 PM) The official nickname giver has spoken. Damn straight.

Nah, I don't like it. Brent's nickname around his friends seems to be B-Mo, but I am thinking we can do better.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 27, 2011 -> 05:00 PM) I'd follow the same rule for anyone from the 2005 team. First time out, he gets a standing ovation. Every time after that, he's the guy we're trying to beat. I'm really on the fence about what my reaction would be. I would have surely given him a standing ovation prior to the comments he just made, but now I am not really sure. I think I would just sit quietly and not boo or cheer.

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Feb 27, 2011 -> 05:00 PM) Could it be Juan or (One) or as some broken english people say (Wan?) Uribe?????? Ding, ding, ding. Tried thinking outside the box. I was going to post Sale standing next to Jenks for the #10, but I forgot to do it.

QUOTE (scenario @ Feb 27, 2011 -> 04:52 PM) http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2011/...illen-feud.html Would have been nice if Ozzie had handled the issue as maturely as Francona did. If so, this 'feud' would have been a non-issue 5 minutes after it started. I wonder if Bobby is going to get boo'ed now when he comes back. Would love to see Paulie or AJ hand him a Blown Save.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 27, 2011 -> 04:53 PM) What does this have to do with #1? How quickly the tables have turned! Now YOU need to figure this one out!

Punto is injured. Not sure how bad though.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Feb 27, 2011 -> 12:39 PM) Me neither...much rather have Paulie in the 3 hole than Rios. Your wish is Ozzie's command. He just swapped Dunn into the 3rd hole, and Rios down to #5.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 10:20 PM) Yes. It's similar to the loans the NFL teams take to build new stadiums. They get a loan from the NFL to meet the "matching funds" when the state or city offers money. I believe the Twins owner did this for their new stadium as well but I'm not sure. But the Mets didn't do it for building purposes, they did it because they are getting their asses sued and don't have enough money to honor contracts (or so I hear).

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 08:01 PM) What Knightni said + 775. I guess I'll just pretend I understand and we can move on.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 07:56 PM) Are you seriously missing it? I cant even tell if it's a joke or not now. No. Explain please.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 07:49 PM) Well to be fair, it looks like Gordo is looking to get in and pinch his ass. Grinder Rule #82 Gordon always gets his first. Only after him, are you allowed to get yours.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 07:32 PM) and you still dont get it? Nope. YiSB and TTI mean nothing to me.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 06:46 PM) Think hard Joe Think hard It will be obvious soon QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 07:05 PM) Great minds Really can't Even Guess Nope, still don't get it, besides that Knightni's spells "GREG" in the first letter column.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 06:10 PM) Is it on the radio or tv or web??? I doubt it's on anything. Game is at 11:30 central time I think, but I doubt there will even be a live boxscore on mlb.com either. Will have to just follow the tweets to find out what happens during the game. http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2011/...squad-game.html TEAM A Pierre lf Ramirez ss Dunn 1b Quentin dh Flowers 2b McPherson 3b Lillibridge 2b De Aza cf Gartrell rf TEAM B Milledge lf Beckham 2b Rios dh Konerko 1b Viciedo rf Morel 3b Phegley c Danks cf Escobar ss Pitchers for intrasquad game are Jeff Marquez, Nate Jones and Brandon Hynick.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 06:09 PM) I don't get it..... ?

First intrasquad game is tomorrow. Every started except for AJ will be playing. Milledge will be in LF, and Viciedo will be in RF.

Here is a pretty great picture of Pierre trying to escape Beckham....

Mets took a $25M loan from the MLB? I didn't even know they could do that...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 10:49 AM) The Chicago Blackhawks and Brent Seabrook are nearing a five-year contract extension. According to Bob McKenzie, Seabrook and the Hawks are close to a five-year, $30 million deal. The deal is still unofficial but very near complete. "(Seabrook) is a big part of our group here and none of that has changed," GM Stan Bowman said. "Brent has been a big reason we've gotten to where we're at and he's going to continue to be a big part of this." This seems like a match made in heaven for Chicago, who pairs Seabrook with reigning Norris Trophy winner Duncan Keith. Nooooooo! Not the guido douchebag!

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Feb 25, 2011 -> 07:44 PM) He'll be 34. And if he can get the job done, why not? He was crucial last year on the penalty kill. There is a reason the Hawks went from 5th in the league in penalty kill last year to 26th this year. We miss him more than most think. I'm just saying, the guy is old as hell, or at least looks like it.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Feb 25, 2011 -> 02:04 PM) Sopel was so important to this team. Too bad his salary was too high. But he will be a free agent after this year and I am fairly certain he will be back with the Hawks. Said as much when he was traded last year. Soapy is going to be, what, 57 next season?

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Feb 24, 2011 -> 10:53 PM) I thought I heard 31. Anyway, he was huge. Could be, I was just guessing since I saw he had 26 saves with about 3 minutes left.

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Feb 24, 2011 -> 10:55 PM) Get used to it around here. Back in some future sox threads I was nearly burned at the stake for pointing out people around baseball think Sale is a pen arm. Oh and you're out your damn fool mind if you wouldn't trade Sale for Rasmus. Sale isn't starting people. Not this year, not next. That's exactly why I would trade him too. I think he can be a starter, but I am doubting the organization believes he can be.
