Some idiot from Baseball Prospectus thought a Peavy and Zambrano swap was possible. All I have to say is: EPIC FAIL. Zambrano makes more, has more problems, and might be as productive as Peavy.

We gotta run Forte more come next week. Cutler had a hell of a game. Knox is going to be a pretty damn good receiver.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 16, 2009 -> 11:36 PM) How old are you? If you truly wish injury on a fellow human being, IMO something is wrong with you or the way you were raised. If this is considered a personal attack, turn me into the humane police force. Your second sentence is the worst single sentence I've ever read on Soxtalk. There can be none worse than that sentence. Ever. Oh yeah, like the people who were asking if this would be a sustained injury meant something totally different from what I said. I'm pretty sure all of us have gotten mad and irritated at some player of the opposing team, especially on the Twins or even any divisional rival. If, say, Miguel Cabrera gets hurt before a big series against the Tigers, I'm sure a lot of you would be cheering for him not to play in that said series. Hell, if it's a divisional race like it is now, most of you will be happy that he won't be able to contribute much for the rest of the year. It's not that I wish serious injury upon other people so that they would die (I don't know why any of you would infer that since I compared it to Joe Crede's injury, which is NOT life-threatening), it's just that it would make our life easier, as Sox fans if they did not play and do damage against the team we root for. Don't tell me that Vikings fans and Packers fans aren't somewhat glad over Urlacher's injury. It's not that they wanted that to happen, it's that it did happen, it benefits their team, and they are happy because it benefits their team. They had nothing to do with the injury. And really, if that's the worst thing you've seen on the internet, you should open up to the internet a bit more...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 16, 2009 -> 07:53 PM) What do you think happens if a broken bone in your spinal column moves around too much? It would be a life-threatening condition, obviously. But this is not life-threatening, yet, and neither is Crede's injury.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 16, 2009 -> 07:43 PM) Yeah, its only the guys life and livelihood we are talking about... But hopefully a bus hits you tonight for this post. He's made somewhere around $80 million guaranteed in his career already. I don't think he's going to find himself living on the streets if something bad happens to him. Now, if I got ran over by a bus, I'd be dead. If he has back problems, the worst place he will find himself is a nice house in paradise. Big difference.

I hope this remains with him for a while. Something along the lines of Crede's injury.

JUST SAY NO To Erik Bedard. He's an oft-injured p****.

Robinson Tejada pitched for the Royals today. Have you guys noticed how good he's been since that game where he shut us down for 3 straight innings?

If it means he won't be so bad come the start of the season, okay. I can't stand watching him play in April and May.

I think this is relevant enough for some comic relief.

Praise Jesus! I'd take this over the signing of Chone Figgins. xD

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 10:15 AM) A dislocated wrist shouldn't keep you out 4 months. Unless there's something else wrong, he should be back after a few games. Heck, even a BROKEN wrist shouldn't keep someone out the whole season. The article said there were some other complications.

Good. This will put some people in the seats.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 01:17 AM) Urlacher dislocated his wrist, surgery Monday, out 3-4 weeks. Per the Tribune. This sucks hard.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 12:13 AM) Oh by the way. Hester is going to the pro-bowl this year as a WR. He looked awfully good. It's amazing how easily he could be one of the better receivers in the league. Maybe he's finally figured it out now.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 13, 2009 -> 10:54 PM) yeah what a bastard...why did he tell Des/Knox to stop running routes? WHYYYYY The fact that he nearly threw three interceptions on three straight plays should tell you how bad Cutler was in the first half. Yes, the receivers made many mistakes, but you shouldn't cut Cutler that much slack.

I find it funny that Devin Hester was good and didn't drop passes, but Cutler made so many poor decisions, it's hard to express in words. Oh how things can change...

My expectations just fell off a cliff.

QUOTE (League @ Sep 12, 2009 -> 09:18 PM) Right. Our next game is against Kazmir, who we've already knocked the s*** out of this season and Ian Snell, who has been garbage all year. After that we possibly have Peavy going, it's very possible for us to win our next three and it's equally possible for the Tigers to lose two of their next three. That happens and we're three games back with 6 left against them, they just got swept by the royals and now the Blue Jays are thumping them, the Tigers are burning out just as we're heating up. Have none of you learned anything about this team yet? Just when they give you hope, they start sucking. What happens after Mark Buehrle throws perfect game? We go 1-5 on an awful road trip. What happens after we win a big series against KC with a matchup of Greinke vs. Contreras? We lose a series to the Orioles and win 2 of our next 10. This team will give you hope and suck it away. It's been doing that all year. Would I like to see it not do that? Of course. It's not about who's right or wrong, it's about this team being absolute crap when it matters most. That's why I don't see it winning this division. BTW, Kazmir has been much better since joining the Angels. He's not the same guy we faced earlier on in the year with the Rays. Knowing this team, Ian Snell might cause some trouble.

QUOTE (League @ Sep 12, 2009 -> 09:06 PM) Since the other games we're playing don't mean anything or affect the standings. We'll probably end up losing most of those anyways.

Sosa at 3? Are you serious? Big Frank behind Santo? What? Seriously, putting Frank behind Ozzie is even stupid.

Still means we have to sweep the Tigers twice...lol.

xD

If only the Rays didn't suck so much against Detroit. Maybe then I could have actually believed in this team... It's still doable, but it's on the side of very improbable. In a lot of ways, this team just sucks. Plain and simple.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 9, 2009 -> 11:39 PM) In my view, as good as Jermaine was in the first half of this season, that's how as bad he's been now. -Tim McCarver Whatever McCarver says is always false. ALWAYS.
