Gotcha....just wanted to be on the record.

I was talking about Kimbrel's contract, Ray.

It's bad when your team signs a bad contract....it's arguably worse when your team trades for another team's bad contract.

Crap...I thought we could tempt him with a spring training invite...oh well. How about Cy Chen?

Crap...are you telling me that guy I lost $20 to on the CTA bus in high school was cheating? Can't trust anybody.

Any word from Bob about that Hernandez option?

You might be being a little generous there....if they ever can translate success on the cricket pitch to baseball, those might be a couple of nice countries/continents to have.

Griffey threw out that guy at home plate in the original blackout game. Oh sorry, you said Hahn. Think Kenny was in charge then, sorry.

Was I alone in laughing when the Cubbies signed Kimbrel to that big deal?....I thought that they were going to regret those later years... now we have those later years. Ugghhh.

Has Miguel Cairo been fired yet??

The way international signing happen these days just doesn't work for me. How about every ball club gets an exclusive on certain foreign countries such as... White Sox....Cuba Astros...Iceland Yankees...Greenland Dodgers....Norway Make it happen Manfred.

That's an understandable and fair point. I was talking to someone today who was at the game who quite frankly thought it was bush league from the Astros how they were stealing bases late and of course how they threw at Jose when they were up 7-1. I unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) was not able to watch any of yesterday's game so I don't have a feeling about taking the extra bases but I do think plunking Jose was not a class move. Maybe this motivates the South Siders to take it to the Astros next season....Let's hope so.

Billy was a great story this year but I don't know about bringing him back except as a minor league coach to help teach James Beard what to do with his 80 grade speed.

And Jay Mariotti.....along with all the hineybirds.

I remember the pre game coverage and beginning of Game 1 on FS1....if I was just a random fan listening to what they were saying about the White Sox I would've been like what the hell is this team doing in the playoffs. It really gave me a bad feeling about the series which came out all too true.

I know you did your part in the 2 home games....thanks for the effort.

I guess that comes down to whether they are willing to take the hit from admitting it was a bad trade. Even if you think it was a good idea at the time, it did end up being a bad trade that actually hurt the team.....that is just a fact.

I do agree with that...I have always stressed to my son to try to only head to concessions between innings and wait until the half inning ends to return to your seat.

The author of that, Steve Adams, doesn't seem to think the Sox will get much for Kimbrel. And before you ask, I have no idea who he is either.

I just read in his Wiki bio that he was a fan favorite in Green Bay for his boisterous personality......feel free to do radio in Wisconsin, Jurko.

Soxbadger felt a twinge in his shoulder the other day....may need TJS

I do think it's bad when people cannot enjoy the game because how others are acting and am sorry that happened with your son there. However, I am going to differ with you in one aspect. The players on the Astros truly did cheat and nothing was done to them at all by MLB....I do not feel one ounce of sorrow or regret for them because they have to hear about it and if they have to hear about it from the stands for the rest of their careers I really don't care because they will not hear it from reporters who basically kiss their butts when interviewing them. Maybe it was stupid what Tepera said but I think he is speaking for the frustration of a bunch of major leaguers who are pissed that they broke the rules and got away with it 100%.

You should just stick around here where things are a lot more level headed.

I was afraid you'd say that.
