Excuse me while I go find this woman, and see just how much I want to throw her out a window.

Hmmm, that seems like a pretty sweet projection. I think Gordon's full potential is .300, 25 HR, 110 RBI (per year)

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 20, 2010 -> 01:21 AM) I'm sick of the clog the basepaths argument. Who gives a f*** about that? As far as worthless, you must think an awful lot of Sox players throughout history have been worthless cause we've won one WS in about a zillion years. Thome beating the Twins was priceless. It's not a one-man sport. Thome's home run vs. the Twins was special. The clog the bathpaths argument is old. Seriously. To clog the bases enough for them to be a problem, you have to get on base a lot, which Jim does. Also, we would have won with Thome in 2006 had the pitching not crapped out.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 20, 2010 -> 01:21 AM) I'll be doing a preview of the Sox at 9:30 tomorrow morning on WGN Radio!!!! You're making me wake up early? Darn it. WGN is 720, right?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 20, 2010 -> 12:38 AM) I was a fan of Alexander and Law in college, not sure what has happened in the NBA to them. Salmons hit a big shot in that game, but I think he was 6 for 17 from the field (sounds about right for him). The Bulls have a really soft schedule right now, doing a good job taking advantage of it so far, and need to continue with that trend. I really liked Alexander coming out of college, and I think he's just been screwed over by playing time and injuries, kinda like our old buddy Tyrus.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 04:29 PM) The Cubs are to blame for everything, it's official. I bet we all wish that Boras failed all his classes in that law school now. Baseball would be so much better without him. Ugh, apparently, he is somewhat worshiped there. My sister-in-law, like any good Sox fan, hates it.

I don't get MLB Network. Anyway, I want this to be on the net, because I definitely want to see this.

Ugh. My sister-in-law went to the same law school as Boras, apparently the Cubs paid for his education since he suffered a career ending injury in their farm system. Darn Cubs. If I'm Kenny, I go to the Padres and get a deal done for AGon now. Going into the season with this big a hole is idiocy.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 01:16 AM) Not to mention soxtalk, first as usual, to find a news source before anyone else. Darn Trekkies are trying to be pretend reporters!

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 01:11 AM) And Josh Fields a while back? Joe Borchard too huh? lol Plans were to have Fields at QB. This reminds me of NCAA 10's TeamBuilder...I remember making the White Sox and the game would actually say "Jose Conteras". I was confused. Fatolo was OL.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 01:05 AM) Who the hell is that guy? If he's a scout, then why does he have NFL stuff all over the place? The Sox are going to the NFL. This is why we drafted Mitchell.

I just realized... I'd rather bring back Walter Hriniak out of anyone...

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 18, 2010 -> 09:38 PM) IMO, its not happening. I mentioned when I heard they first talked about him early in the offseason, and I heard about some action this week. All I hear now is silence, and that cant be good. Rock, for once I'd like you to be wrong... QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 18, 2010 -> 10:22 PM) I wonder if we wouldn't be a better ballclub if we could trade Konerko and $6 million in cash for a B prospect....sign Dye for $3-4 million, stick him at 1B and use the other $2 million (in addition to what we're already offering) to sign Damon? Of course it will NEVER happen, but I'd feel more comfortable with Dye and Damon rather than Konerko/Jones/Kotsay. I know it's putting JD at a position he has little experience at, and Konerko is probably #1-2 to this generation of Sox fans in popularity...along with Buehrle and maybe Crede third. And he signed for less money after 2005, etc. I don't think JR would allow it, although KW might see the team as being improved, and there's certainly no guarantees about the production of Konerko, Damon or Dye...all are definitely on the downward plane of their career/s at this point. I'd trust Paulie at first a lot more than JD fielding wise, and pretty sure I feel better about his bat.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 18, 2010 -> 09:26 PM) I'd love to see LeBron go to the Clippers, just because I think they'd have the potential to be awesome adding him to the pieces they have, plus it's a big market. He'd never do that though. As for today, nice day for the Bulls. Wish they would have traded Hinrich, but at least we now know there is room for a full boat guy this summer, plus the sign and trade option is out there. I'd like to see him go to the Clippers, or to the Nets if they could attract David Lee for PF and land John Wall in the draft.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 18, 2010 -> 05:23 PM) Ideally I'd like the tigers/indians/detroit to all have the best teams possible and us to still beat the hell out of them. Royals aren't even realistic. Dude, they have Wilson Betemit and Josh Fields. That means a Gordon Beckham clone shall soon arise for them.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Feb 18, 2010 -> 06:35 PM) I'd say the Cavs are going to stick around a while when they re-sign Lebron. I don't think LeBron is gonna resign. I have no idea why I think that either.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 18, 2010 -> 05:12 PM) such a weird year for the NBA isn't it? Just feels like waiting for the old guard to shift into what will be the new faces of the NBA for years. It feels like soon the top teams will be (depending on FAs) the Clippers, the Nets, the Bulls, the Heat, the Thunder, the Grizzlies. Of the "Old Guard" (I'd say, Lakers, Celtics, Spurs, Magic, Hawks, Cavs, Suns, Rockets, Nuggets, Mavs, Jazz) I see the Lakers, Nuggets, Magic, and Hawks being the ones to stick around for a while longer.

Gar was pure class in the conference, saying only good things about TT and Salmons. Just finished reading the thread... Like the Salmons and Tyrus trades. I like Warrick and Alexander as bench players, and Murray and Law expire. Also, possibly getting a first rounder is sweet. The Bucks probably won't be better than the Bulls, so pick-swapping is probably not gonna happen. Miami has to be sweating, since the Bulls can now afford a max FA and the Heat didn't get Amar'e. I think Wade will stay in Miami, because I think they'll jump on Amar'e quick in the offseason, since it seems there is mutual interest. I don't think LeBron goes to the Knicks skeleton roster, so neither does Bosh, who goes to the Bulls. This is what I want the Bulls roster to look like next year. Draft Greivis Vasquez if they have a 18-30 draft pick. Resign Devin Brown for cheap. Resign Richard for league minimum. Resign Miller if you have cap space for it. Resign Alexander with whatever is left. PG - Rose/Vasquez SG - Hinrich/Brown SF - Deng/Johnson/Alexander PF - Bosh/Gibson/Richard C - Noah/Miller/Asik

The first player I'd take back? Maggs. That's mainly because he was my hero after Frank stopped being Super-Frank. I was immensely sad when he was gone. I would then hit Maggs with a bat and take Carlos Lee. Why? Dude was my hero and I still cheered for him. Then at a Sox game in '08 (the one where Thames and Wise both hit Grand Slams, Griff got his 500th double) Maggs faked throwing a ball to a kid and then jogged off the field with a ball. I wanted to run down to the dugout and shave off his darn hair.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 10:07 PM) That'd be money. It would also improve the team for this year. Can we post sources? They would actually lose cap space in that deal, since James and Thomas combined ($11M) are less than Harrington ($10M)

Latest rumor is TT and Jerome James to Knicks for Harrington.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 08:42 PM) This latest report doesn't sound as promising http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news/story?id=4922858 That's the second possible wrong story in two days... I dislike this disappointment.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 08:27 PM) the sox website is even reporting that they could be the front runners now Didn't they do that for Matsui?

I liked Salmons, but I like this trade for the Bulls. Jamison to the Cavs is confusing from the Clips perspective. They gained Drew Gooden...and that's it. But they gave up a lot to get him. I like Jamison, but I wouldn't mind him tanking and his contract handicapping the Cavs. Now, the TT saga continues.

Can't say I like that deal. You don't clear much cap space since you're giving up Brad, and all you get is McGrady. If the Rockets don't take Salmons, it's kind of a no deal.
