Big Hurtin

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 10, 2011 -> 08:06 AM) Which is terrible and goes back to the undue influence and power sports has at big colleges. On society in general, really.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 9, 2011 -> 11:03 PM) Or firing a guy because you have grounds for termination. But yeah, continue with your argument counselor. The BOT can even say he violated an NCAA rule to oust him if they wanted: Yeah, i must have missed the part where he was going to be placed in the electric chair tomorrow.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 10:50 PM) That HR was epic, and he didn't even sound excited. Of course, that's BC they are rooting for the red sox. OH NO!

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 05:09 AM) Ricky Gervais in an afro. Yeah. It was a character he played in Extras.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 11:41 PM) I definitely want the Red Sox to lose tomorrow and the Rays to win. And then for at least the Rays to win the next day. I agree with the Rays winning and getting into the playoffs.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 04:39 PM) It would be awesome if the Yankees played their scrubs and the Rays swept them to knock Boston out of the playoffs. Buster_ESPN Buster Olney Yankees' pitching strategy for TB series is to get ready for playoffs. In other words: TB is going to see a whole lot of B- and C-listers. Hopefully they'll both win/lose tomorrow to go down to the very last game, and for a possible single game playoff.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:14 PM) Ozzie is the best Manager this franchise has had in the last 50 years. And this is the worst day of any White Sox Fans life... The only people that are happy are Cubs Fans ALC non-White Sox fans Jay Marrotti. BS. Don't speak for others, particularly when you couldn't be more wrong.

Has Paulie ever had a bad word to say about anyone?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 18, 2011 -> 11:19 PM) I think the bigger question is will he win the MVP... Yeah, that's also a good possibility. I was just thinking that there might be some homer who gives his vote to someone else.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 18, 2011 -> 09:47 PM) The dude throws 120 pitches every start, and seems to show no ill-effects. Verlander is just a horse. Time to throw out this notion of limiting his pitch counts to that of mere mortals. Is there any way Verlander does not get unanimous Cy Young?

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Sep 15, 2011 -> 04:04 PM) And funny, loud, and in your face. The Sox could just hire George Carlin or Sam Kinison or Redd Foxx or Rodney Dangerfield. Don't we have enough stiffs on the team already?

Arithmetic mean?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 08:40 AM) Another terrific episode of Curb. Might be the best ever. Definitely top 5, IMO.

Adam Dunn as...

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 8, 2011 -> 01:06 AM) Do you guys think there's any way Ozzie returns? I didn't think Walker would still be here many times over, so who knows.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 8, 2011 -> 08:45 AM) Once he passed through waivers his contract was gone and could be renegotiated. FWIW, Meriweather is now the Bears' highest paid safety. Only players with less than 4 years service time go through waivers prior to the trade deadline. After the trade deadline everyone (released) goes through waivers.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) And the player waived has his contract assumed by the claiming team, while the guy who got cut got a whole new contract. QUOTE (Papa Tru @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 11:24 AM) Im pretty sure that either way they pass through waivers.. QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 11:47 AM) If that is the case, it is a little surprising (perhaps a little alarming) that Meriweather wasn't claimed by anyone. . . . hmmm. If a player has acquired 4 years of service time (when cut), they become free agents. Prior to that, they go through waivers.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 04:58 PM) Ok so you know Dunn, Peavy and Rios will not need to show No dunk tank?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 02:32 AM) It is kind of funny how rock bottom for us fans is 2nd place, and a .500 record. When you really think about fans of like the Royals, Pirates, Orioles, Astros, and other such teams have to sit there and be overjoyed with a .500 record and anything above 4th place. Kind of makes me happy to know that during my lifetime at least, the Sox have really had some decent expectations, and as a fan we are used to competitive teams that always finish in the top 3, and have a chance to win almost every year. Just my late-night thoughts. No, don't really care. Are any of those 4 teams running an All-In campaign every commercial break? Remember when the White Sox have to pare payroll next year, to ask yourself if a 2nd place (at best) finish was worth it.

You shouldn't make a huge leap with a bad ankle.

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 04:17 PM) From Jayson Stark's ESPN article: "How many players in the history of the American League have had 100 more strikeouts than hits in a season? Uh, none, of course. And the only guy to do it in any league was Mark Reynolds (211-99) last year in Arizona. So this is a huge September for Dunn -- no matter how much he does (or doesn't) play." Dunn has 157 K's and only 60 hits. I have faith in Adam, he'll get it done.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 01:53 PM) I think it is probable both will be back. Umm, no.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 03:58 PM) I rather see Lillibridge strike out than Dunn. With Dunn, you already know what's going to happen, with Lilly, you don't know. I'm so glad that Ozzie saved me the anxiety.
