Jeremy Reed. I know we've got a few big Reed fans here- the jersey is for sale on ebay.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 16, 2011 -> 11:30 AM) http://cgi.ebay.com/Harold-Baines-1987-gam...7#ht_500wt_1156 I've never seen these before. You should send that over to UniWatch, they love posting that kind of stuff. Actually, I'm positive they would be interested in that given that it's ST gear to boot.

We were paying Scott Linebrink $5M.

What is the Twins' non-mlb.com message board? I want to see if they have a similar thread to see their projections.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 15, 2011 -> 09:31 PM) If Rios is hitting 3rd and getting on in front of Dunn all year, he better not steal 40 bases. He really shouldn't even be trying to steal that much in that situation. Dunn does not hit for average, so if he gets on base, it's, more often than not, going to by by a walk or a home run. If he walks, Rios is going to advance no matter what. If he hits a homer, Rios is going to score no matter what. Agreed. If Rios is standing on second after a steal, that may take the bat out of Dunn's hands on an IBB.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 04:02 AM) I thought MLB.TV shows all of them.. Speaking of which, has anyone seen their annual deal pop up? Normally they have a deal up for like 3 days where you can get the whole season for $30.

Best to wear the jersey EVER.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 12, 2011 -> 11:16 AM) So what is Cowley's new job at Suntimes? I thought he was their beat writer now? That was my interpretation a few months ago.

Earlier on Baseball Tonight, Olney said they were prepared to trade him perhaps as soon as spring training starts.

Ha, yeah it was very uneventful. Olney just talked about how Peavy is important for our success. Hmm, go figure.

Baseball Tonight on ESPN is going to discuss Peavy in this episode, 6th item on the docket (so i assume around 2:45 CT).

Does anyone know the new Sun Times' beat writer's twitter name? Daryl van Schouwen is the new guy, right?

Wow, this just became an awesome thread. Any way we can change the thread title to 'turn back the clock- Twins' theme?

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 5, 2011 -> 06:35 PM) when people act like they are too cool to care about a struggling team and respond to a thread by saying "oh, I didn't even know they had a game today". This may not be intended as such but I have one specific poster in mind. I know they are well-respected and have the Sox best interests in mind but it definitely irks me as well. It's overplayed: we get it- you're upset with Ozzie and a few players, get over it. I say this all knowing full well that I don't post often but I do read every post in the PHT forum every day; I just subscribe to the thought that if you don't have something truly productive and insightful to say, don't say anything at all.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 5, 2011 -> 04:50 PM) Allie is pretty great. She's slowed down to one post a month, though. Yeah, I check back every week hoping to be surprised with another gem.

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 5, 2011 -> 03:20 PM) Not knowing the difference between then and than, lose and loose, and not knowing that "alot" isn't a word. It's "a lot". Just stuff that makes me think that kids aren't being taught anything in school. http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010...everything.html Whammy.

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Jan 17, 2011 -> 10:55 PM) Not sure if this is new this year. Don't remember seing it last year. I hope they have the 30 in 30 again........and this time not leave The White Sox next to last on the list. Yeah, I do hope they rotate the teams a bit. Waiting until like the third-to-last day of ST to see the Sox on there, and then to see they were giving 'insight' regarding lineups the board had projected a month earlier- hardly worth watching (but of course I did).

So is this '30 recap' new this year? I imagine they will still do the 30 in 30 like last year and that will start up in March again?

Following this story all day makes being unemployed feel so much better.

Being a Field Organizer through Blanche Lincoln's primary and moving over to the coordinated campaign in June, tonight stings. Nine months in Arkansas to have the race called with 0% reporting. f***.

Why has the talk about Adrian Gonzalez died off for us now? I know the Padres got off to a hot start so we knew we wouldn't get him early but it still looks like he could be had this off-season by a number of teams. I know there was the issue with FA coming up ( after '11, right?), but isn't that the same case for Fielder? If they are in the same boat in terms of years remaining, I would much rather have Adrian due to both his defensive and offensive capabilities. Is there a reason we're not mentioned in his rumors now?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 08:01 AM) Really...if Ozzie's 1/4 as smart as everyone wants us to think he is...Miami isn't exactly a destination slot for head coaches. They're likely to be better next year as Stanton grows up...but playing before 18,000 fans at home on a good night isn't exactly exciting...and no matter how many homophobic remarks Ozzie makes, he's not going to be any better than #3 on the list of sports teams in Miami and number 8-10 in Sports Icons. If this talk of how big his ego is true, this may actually be part of his plan With the new ballpark opening up in a couple years, the Marlins are looking to be a revitalized franchise. I can see Ozzie wanting to be the center of attention and the cornerstone of that new image in Florida. He brings a lot of attention to himself and whichever club he is with, and the addition of an awesome ballpark will (hopefully) bring new energy to the fans, positioning him as a beloved figure.

QUOTE (since56 @ Sep 13, 2010 -> 06:50 PM) The Dybber shall live in infamy................Wonder what former White Sox Jose Canseco is up to now that he been blackballed by MLB, even though he was right along. Pretty sure I saw some video of him still playing for an independent league somewhere recently. I saw footage of him hitting a home run like two weeks ago; could have been footage from a year or two ago but he looked old balls, pretty sure it was new.
