QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 06:59 PM) I just hope he doesn't do the home run contest now too... This.

Awesome! I was talking about this in AL Catch-All.

QUOTE (jhonnydanks @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 05:25 PM) Get it YEAHHHHHHHHHHH

Morneau might not play in the ASG. Maybe Paulie can get in? They'll most likely take Youk, but we can hope.

QUOTE (C_LEE45 @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 03:36 PM) Why would Houston trade Oswalt there best player, to try to be better in the future and something tells me Baltimore aint going to make a run anytime soon. Markakis is about 5 years younger and in control until 2014 for the cheap. Why not? Baltimore has a nice young core.

WHERE IS LILLIBRIDGE?!?!?!? ARGH Let's hope Jones continues to hit.

There should be three selections for my choice.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 02:21 PM) It's funny because I've disagreed with hiim a lot, but I understood this post fine. I thought it meant he was intrigued by the Ibanez move. I didn't think it was a bad response where he was giving his OK or not. I just thought he was intrigued by the Ibanez deal. I do think Linebrink is that bad, however, that nobody wants any part of him. You should see the Phillies bullpen, they'd want anyone.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 12:36 PM) That doesn't count, hes not really white He's German, that doesn't count.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 12:13 PM) Thanks! You're also one of the best at explaining your reasoning, so it's double appreciated. Didn't Ibanez have a bad first few months last year too before bouncing back and having a huge second half? It was the other way around.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 11:52 AM) This sort of response really pisses me off. And I don't mean anything personal here, but I want to make an example of this early on before it catches on. Don't flatter yourself enough to think we all care whether you personally sign off on such a move or not - none of us should flatter ourselves this much - if you're going to chime in on something like this, at least take the time to explain your reasoning. Otherwise, we're just clammoring up threads with worthless posts. Again, nothing personal CHW, just want to make a point of this and you were unfortunate enough to be the first one to do it... Fair enough. Patterson's never been able to get on base his entire career. He's hot right now, but that's not going to last (not only because of his high BABIP, but also because of his nearly unsustainable LD%), we've seen this kind of stuff from him before. He's still a decent fielder, but his baseball IQ is down there with Scott Podsednik's. We don't need another low OBP guy who can't think fast enough on the baseball field. As for Ibanez, I said semi-maybe because he would fit well in this ball park. He's having a crappy year so far, but he's projected to hit with a .360 wOBA for the rest of the year, which is very useful to this team. Plus, if you get rid of Linebrink's contract for a useful player, that would definitely be something to look at. Ibanez can't field anymore either, so he's pretty much just a DH.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 11:59 AM) You do realize that really the only thing similiar about Kirk and Redick is that their both white, right? JJ isn't nearly the defender that Kirk is and Kirk isn't nearly the shooter that JJ is. And the Bulls need shooters. That's why I said Kirk Hinrich Jr. And Kirk isn't that much worse at shooting 3s.

No to Patterson. Semi-maybe to Ibanez.

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 11:29 AM) White Sox scouts in attendance for Nolasco vs Haren last night http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/MLB-lat...rom-July-070110 We're getting Ricky Nolasco? Awesome.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 11:18 AM) So he wants more mediocre black players? That makes sense. Call MJ maybe we can trade for Tyrus Thomas and his horrible contract. Just to be straight forward here, I would rather have Morrow than Redick, not because Morrow's black, but because he's just better...

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 11:12 AM) That does sound racist. You wouldn't take Dirk on your team? I think he was talking about mediocre white players, not the good ones.

Keep it goin' G.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 10:17 AM) I think Furcal being constantly injured really hurts his case for the All Star game It's not like Reyes has a much better case, especially as of late.

I gotta wonder why he's not on the All-Star team and Jose Reyes somehow is...

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 10:03 AM) he accepted that deal before the Bulls offered 20 mil to Reddick.....and the Bulls do have to overpay with the Magic coming out saying they'll match any offer put out there to J.J. if they want him bad enough....i like this signing but i wish we would have taken our $$ and used to it get a real starting SG in a trade... The Warriors would still have to match. He's restricted. Did they even offer Morrow anything?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:54 PM) I hate stats like this. We needed to play some incredible percentage just to catch the Twins by the end of the year and we already did that. Greg, I remember somebody said we needed to play .600 ball to get to 90 wins like a month ago. Here we are, at .550 and you can't appreciate it? Come on man...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:18 PM) I'm greedy. I want these next two to go into the all-star break with 25 wins in our last 30 games. 11 over would be a dream. We get Greinke on Sunday though.

QUOTE (C_LEE45 @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 09:59 AM) BIG Z Please........ then trade for Nick Markias Why would the Orioles trade their best player again?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 04:39 AM) We just signed Ashton Kutcher. We don't need another slow, unathletic, defensive liability. Translation: No more white folks on the Bulls please!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 04:39 AM) IF this is true, I'll pray from here on out that LeBron somehow meets a very violent (and torturous) death. No joke here. Go ahead and suspend me if you want. I've never hated an athlete like I hate this motherf***er. It's not, none of these guys wanted to come here. Simple as that.
