QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 7, 2013 -> 08:07 AM) The White Sox trading for Giancarlo Stanton would be similar to the Mariners trading for Erik Bedard. Erik Johnson is Chris Tillman Courtney Hawkins is Adam Jones Alejandro De Aza is George Sherrill (sort of) Trayce Thompson is Tony Butler Carlos Sanchez is Kam Mickolio...? Whatever, the principle works. This is giving up a lot of future value for a player that does not make them favorites at any point in the next 3 years.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ May 6, 2013 -> 09:11 PM) Right, because I said that Buehrle doesn't care about the money... That's what it sounded like to me.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 6, 2013 -> 09:53 PM) http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...,7371618.column Phil Rogers addresses your point. However, in all fairness, it's easy to say in hindsight we should have traded Danks...it would have looked like we were giving up on the 2012 season. Although we were sort of sending that message when we dumped Sergio Santos. This is the problem with "timing" trades. We didn't deal Crede or Jenks while they still had value, Matt Thornton, now Danks and Floyd join the list of players we kept past their "due date" or shelf life. If anything, we tend to hold on to players TOO long. That loyalty thing. We did it with Jose Contreras. We also got almost nothing back in return for the likes of Jon Garland and Javy (jury's still out on Flowers). If you are trading everyone at their peak value, how are you going to field a roster? At some point, you have to stop playing virtual GM and actually field a team.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 6, 2013 -> 05:40 PM) From MLBTraderumors Cubs Designate Kameron Loe For Assignment By Tim Dierkes [May 6 at 2:56pm CST] The Cubs designated reliever Kameron Loe for assignment to open a 40-man roster spot for outfielder Ryan Sweeney, tweets MLB.com's Carrie Muskat. In related moves, the team optioned outfielder Dave Sappelt and promoted reliever Rafael Dolis. The Cubs now have six outfielders on the active roster: Alfonso Soriano, David DeJesus, Nate Schierholtz, Scott Hairston, Julio Borbon, and Sweeney. One step closer to a World Series

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 6, 2013 -> 05:34 PM) Myke Henry officially transferring. That leaves one more spot for next year. Hopefully Illinois can somehow fill it. Crean-ed!!!!

QUOTE (Brian @ May 6, 2013 -> 04:42 AM) I had two friends killed by a drunk driver my junior year in HS. It was so surreal and confusing. Lots of students full of anger as they were two of the more popular and bright kids in the school. I lost a couple of friends due to drunk driving during and just after HS. Unfortunately, my friends were the drunk drivers.

The leniency of DUI laws in America is ridiculous.

QUOTE (MAX @ May 5, 2013 -> 09:33 PM) What happened with his pitbulls and family? (also why do I care?) The province of Ontario does not allow pit bull breeds. Instead of his pit bull spending six months with a different family while the Buehrles all lived in Canada, they decided that the rest of the family should stay in the US so the pit bull can be with them. As a dad and a dog owner, I still think it's an awful decision, I'd choose hanging with my kids & family anyday, but that's just me. And the county that the Marlins play in disallows pit bull breeds, so he was forced to live 30-40 miles away from Marlins stadium.

QUOTE (zenryan @ May 5, 2013 -> 09:02 PM) gotta protect Sid man I know the Senators werent angels but the Canadiens were flat out acting like b****es tonight. Prust going after little Conacher. Subban throwing punches while laying on top of a guy. Georges firing a puck at an Ottawa player as time expires. Michel Therrien acts like a douche when his team is winning and then cries when the tables are turned. That game got out of hand quickly. I stopped watching halfway through the second when it was tied, all of a sudden it is 6-1 and ten guys have double digit penalty minutes.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ May 5, 2013 -> 08:37 PM) FWIW High Mileage is a Royals fan FYI. I know. That's why I was welcoming him to this Royals forum. I'm sure he loves it.

Why is there not an Ozzie Guillen option?

QUOTE (High Mileage @ May 5, 2013 -> 08:07 PM) Lots of season left to be played fellas. You just have a few guys not contributing much right now. I'm baffled as to why anybody would walk Getz. He literally brings almost nothing to the plate. Royals 11th comeback win already this season, Alex Gordon has been so clutch, if he keeps it up he'll be an All-Star starter. Welcome to Royalstalk.com, nobody fellates the Royals like Soxtalkers do.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ May 4, 2013 -> 02:53 PM) I think you're going far there. It's Buehrle we're talking about. He could've made a lot more money had he left as a FA in 07 and not resigned with us. And he could have signed with a team that offers a no-trade clause last year, but instead he chose Miami and the money. I would probably do the same thing, but let's stop the Buehrle doesn't care about the money nonsense.

Desperate home team came to play, Hawks were lucky to get to OT. That's playoff hockey, just win game 4 or s*** will get interesting. Islanders got screwed on that OT penalty, brutal.

I'm one of the biggest Weber haters around, but I don't think that was directed at him at all.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 4, 2013 -> 12:08 AM) Might be some busted up store fronts in Vancouver tonight. Ouch. The loser of that series is getting dismantled this offseason.

2 down, 14 to go

2013: $11,000,000 2014: $18,000,000 2015: $19,000,000 I'm not shedding any tears for #56.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ May 3, 2013 -> 01:12 PM) You know what Mr. Jake? You are absolutely right. I will edit my posts so that they are not so mean spirited. Thank you. The PC police strike again.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 3, 2013 -> 03:19 PM) The NHL is ridiculous. Somehow Eric Gryba got a 2 game suspension for his perfectly legal hit last night. I agree, I thought it was legal too, just bad luck. Still waiting for the Shanahan video to explain the suspension. I'm sure the fact that Eller is missing game 2 and there was blood everywhere will play a part in it.

Jose Contreras called up to the majors by the Pirates

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 3, 2013 -> 12:58 PM) I still don't get the difference in coverage here. How does Cutler get crucified in the media, while Rose gets fellatio from guys like Wilbon? Because Cutler keeps to himself and doesn't like talking to the media. Rose is much more media-friendly and seems way more open.
