I like this move for baseball, hate it for the Sox.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Feb 1, 2010 -> 01:35 PM) Buehrle - http://mlb.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?content_id=5699295 get chills everytime. A couple things always amaze me. 1) We had one good defensive player out there, and it was Mark. 2) They we're all so calm in appearance (though freaking out in their heads most likely) during the game. 3) Fields didn't drop the ball and Alexei didn't over throw it. The cynic in me expected that to happen at the time and I nearly had a heart attack.

ESPN's Daily Dime The prospect of acquiring Allen intrigues me. I wouldn't include Kirk, but do you think the Celtics would take Salmons/James/Thomas? Allen would essentially be the 6th man, but he could still score for the Bulls, which they need. But then, you become thin at PF. So here's my crazy 3 way trade proposal (yes, I checked in the Trade Machine to see if it works...don't judge me) Bulls Get: Ray Allen, Amar'e Stoudemire Celtics Get: John Salmons, Tyrus Thomas, Jerome James, Bulls 2nd Round Pick Suns Get: Luol Deng, Glen Davis, Celtics 2nd Round Pick The Bulls get 2 legitimate scoring threats, playing time for James Johnson, and ungodly amounts of cap space in 2010. The Celtics would get that rebounder they need + defense as stated above, as well as a SG to replace some of Allen's production. The Suns get a good PF as well as a SF to replace Grant Hill, and Phoenix has eyed Deng in the past. Then, come summer time, if Amar'e opts out, sign Bosh and Gay/Manu. If Amar'e opts in and Bosh looks to be leaving, try a Power Forward Sign-and-Trade swap using picks. If you enough room left over, sign Brad Miller as the backup center. I like him as Noah/Taj/Johnsons tutor, plus, he can still get assists and shoot from time to time. Also, resigning Pargo wouldn't be crazy. Use the draft pick on a shooting guard (Lance Stephenson from Cincy?) then you have a roster that looks like PG: Rose - Pargo SG: Hinrich - Stephenson SF: Gay - Johnson PF: Bosh - Gibson - Aşık (if he comes State side by then) C: Noah - Miller I'd live with it.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 11:56 PM) I'm only saying yes because it's you. Hell, I got s*** from people in high school and I had a black '98 Mustang. I've had a black '99 Mustang and a baby blue '07 Mustang since. That is one beautiful car JPN. Mustangs are the only Fords I really like. Anyway, "girl car" is subjective. My car (model/color in pic below) is called a girls car because of its horn and "cuteness". Well, it was my moms (she got my grandmas Lincoln, but didn't like it, and was able to sell it to mostly cover an 09 black Honda Accord), and is the newest car in the highschool in terms of years. Quite frankly, if you like you're car, you're good. Quick note: My car is also the only car that runs decently at the highschool. It just sucks in snow.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 08:42 PM) Kotsay or Jones I have highlighted my choice.

Keith Law, what's your opinion of Gordon Beckham? Klaw: He didn't win the College World Series. He won't translate to the majors

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 03:16 PM) In my strange little world 3rd person is VASTLY superior to 1st person. It's just personal preference but I like to be able to see my character on screen and the added perspective that comes with it. It all goes back to SOCOM II, the best online video game experience I ever had, that setup was absolutely perfect in my mind. It added so much to the gameplay when your enemy could see you from around a corner or behind a wall, there were very few times when you were 100% safe in one place. There was an added difficulty to movement which placed great value on stealth combat, knowing your environment, planning out your maneuvers before executing them and not running into a hostile area willy-nilly . Plus in the 3rd person you always know when you're completely behind cover. This is why I really, really liked WarHawk.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 05:32 PM) Nah, with Oden/Durant there was a real debate over it, I think Rose was actually more highly thought of than Beasley for the most part. Eh, I always heard until the draft itself that Beasley would be the better player.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 06:59 PM) Johnny Damon's Website He's like Patrick Bateman! My favorite part is how it claims he is still humble.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 04:26 PM) The way Wall can score, you could have them both on the floor at the same time. The Super SSOL. QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 04:47 PM) Not sure that is true. I think Rose was considered the better player but since we had a PG and needed a PF some people argued we should have drafted for need. I heard the Oden/Durant argument. One would be better (Beasley and Durant) but the other could be a top player at premier position.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 04:15 PM) I believe so. THey can be traded a year after the draft, and a PTBNL has to be names within six months IIRC. I like Mitchell, but let's PTBNL him. I could see Flowers, Hudson, Mitchell, Viciedo + other (Torres and Santos?) working. And it would let you retain D2, Morel, Retherford, and Phegley.

Just for perspective, standard iPods crush this thing in terms of HDD space.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 12:04 PM) Why would you cut Conan to 30 min? Because, he'd be third behind Colbert and Stewart. In all fairness, they could just give them all hour long shows. Thats basically what Comedy Centrals hows all day anyway.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 05:08 AM) I have no idea what we would do with Wall. But I'm a firm believer in that you ALWAYS take the best player available. I don't care about position. Just for perspective, Beasley was considered to be the better player and we needed a PF and had a good PG. It was the rarity of PG's like Rose that made them take Rose. We have a PG like that now, so it'd be foolish to take him unless you can trade him for a star.

Buehrle. He's been the face of the franchise for a while, so it just makes sense. Plus, he can ride up to the mound in his Sox Motorcycle.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 02:06 PM) Oh, and if he wants to grow his caveman facial hair again, I don't know that he'd sign with the Sox. Jenks has a crazy goatee, but I recall in the early part of 2006 that Reinsdorf required Pierzynski and Crede, and maybe others too, to cut their hair because it was rather unprofessional, and their's wasn't nearly as crazy as Damon's has been in the past. AJ has mega-blonde hair, it's hard to top that... Edit: Just remembered, Swisher.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 01:53 PM) Rodgers is an idiot. The Tigers GM has stated repeatedly that the Tigers are NOT interested in signing Damon. Rogermetrics do not fail, regardless of what is bluntly stated.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 01:42 PM) I don't think he's going to care much about the politics of dealing Gonzalez so much as he cares about the prospects he gets back. From everything I've heard, Westmoreland and Kelly are basically can't miss prospects (we really only have one player who could turn into a can't miss prospect at this point in Mitchell) Can't we PTBNL Mitchell at this point?

I'll restrain myself from emailing him, because if I did it would be something like "Hey, Johnny, if you sign with the Sox, I'll bring you Rogaine to games I go to to aid you in becoming Caveman Damon again."

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 01:29 AM) The fact that the Bulls are playing so well right now just frustrates me even more. Because ultimately this is still a .500 team. As they have been the last few years. I'd rather suck ass and have a shot at John Wall than make the playoffs as a 7/8 seed and get swept by the Cavs or Celtics. And I still don't believe any marque FA will come here. What would we do with John Wall? Sign-and-trade him to Toronto? Put him at Shooting Guard? Even though Kirk is disliked, unless we're trading Rose, he's better for the team than Wall. He defends the tougher guard for Derrick and moves the ball. Wall would help if we trade Kirk somewhere for expiring contracts, Deng and Tyrus to Phoenix for Amar'e, and sign Gay. Then you can run a super SSOL offense, but my god that would be painful defense. The only way I'd like to see Wall is a sign and trade for Bosh.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 30, 2010 -> 11:34 PM) If the Liriano of 2006 returns we are in DEEP s***. That would give this division to the Twins barring the Sox make a blockbuster.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 07:33 AM) Words can not describe the win contained in that video. QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 24, 2010 -> 01:01 PM) Comedy Central could trek out a nightly line up of Daily SHow, Colbert Report, Conan? That would be epic. Thats what I've been hoping for a long time. Do a 2-hour slot of Daily Show, Colbert Report, Conan and give a show to John Oliver or Wyatt Cenac (Wyatt hasn't been on much, but I like him). Also, instead of Oliver/Cenac, see if Lewis Black would be up for it.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 04:27 PM) Some of this has to do with the home mentality as well. I'm black & I speak proper, but I never thought of it as "talking like white people" until I heard someone refer it to as such. Part of my argument had to be I was bitter about a plethora of situations going on in this idiot town. In other situations, I might think different, but god this town. Also, this Basketball league was on the Colbert Report, and he pointed out how incredibly stupid it is.
