With Rios on the bench and an improved bullpen, we might actually win this division!** **Unless there's a bigger selloff

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:06 AM) KW says Rios has been benched!

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:05 AM) site crashing for anyone? yup

So is Rios now an overpaid bench player?

Please sell the team Jerry! I beg you!

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:50 AM) KW interview will happen in 10 mins to explain deal. Please change your avatar before I punch my computer screen.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:47 AM) The White Sox do not believe in accountability. I'm convinced these guys will both be here to oversee the rebuilding process after this year, too. And Walker will be here for the ride.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) Yes, clearly this one deal is what I'm referring to, and not the many, many awful deals that have cost JR piles of cash and lead to this final punting of value that is Edwin Jackson. Claim Alex Rios - big cash. f***. Trade Daniel Hudson - Get a known commodity in Edwin Jackson trying to force hand of Washington to trade you player you actually want in Adam Dunn. Claim MANNY RAMIREZ - one month. one homer. $5 mill. f***. Give away Edwin Jackson to get rid of another AWFUL, POINTLESS contract extension in Mark Teahen. This is just a very very very very very small segment of KW's persistent incompetence. You forgot the inexplicable extension to Teahen.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:44 AM) "All In" team to White Flag Part II....yet Kenny and Ozzie still have their jobs? Love the accountability.

Out!

Thank you Adam Dunn and Alex Rios for ruining what could have been a magical year on the south side.

**goes to peak at the "In or Out" thread to look at the additional "Out" votes**

QUOTE (chunk23 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:35 AM) 2) KW turning Daniel Hudson into a relief pitcher and salary relief is atrocious planning and the height of his incompetence. QFT

Why couldn't Jerry fire Kenny and Ozzie before deciding to sell off our team? I don't trust Kenny in making deals anymore.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:23 AM) We couldnt get Miguel Cabrera because we didnt have too much in the farm. Now we have a player we might covet but have to watch another team walk away with him because once again our farm is bare. Its about time for the sox to have a self evaluation on our strategy for amateur talent aquisition and proper development. The good to great teams now all spend money on draft picks, the international free agency period and their development. We treat it like its some nuisance. Its not just about developing players for your major league team its about developing players that other teams covet.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 09:03 AM) Sounds like poor build quality. I've beaten the crap out of my iPhone4, never using a case, and it has no mechanical problems. A few scratches and dings, but nothing mechanical, no light bleeds, no dead pixels, etc. Yeah I'm starting to think HTC products are over-hyped with regards to quality. My wife bought an EVO about 4 months ago and it's having similar issues with the charging port.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 08:55 AM) You must beat the hell out of it. I've had mine since October and it still looks like it just came out of the box. I got it on launch day last June. It has a broken charging port (have to swap batteries on an external charger...super f***ing annoying), has multiple burnt out pixels on the screen, light is bleeding above the capacitive buttons, large area of dust behind the screen in the upper right corner, and cracked shell/casing near the power button. At first glance it looks like it's in pretty good shape but I get annoyed looking at it with all of its imperfections.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 07:16 AM) It wouldn't matter if it was in an international fund or not, if the US defaulted, they'd cause more havoc in foreign markets than in their own. You can always roll your 401k over into a self directed IRA, where you'd receive it's cash worth, but you cannot do that so long as you are still working for the company in which you have the 401k. However, if you aren't working, and can in fact roll it out, I would do that. At least then you have the cash value and can invest it as you see fit. You are still young, so you don't need to worry about your 401k, by the time you go to use it upon retirement, the world would probably be well recovered in the event of a US default in 2011 (which won't happen anyway). Also, while investing in a 401k, you actually want the markets down...this helps you amass more stock in whichever funds you are in, and in the future, you want the market to go up. I know a lot of people love looking at their 401k numbers, but they're meaningless until retirement age anyway. This site needs a "thanks" button.

Looks like the Galaxy S II is finally hitting Sprint. Time to ditch my EVO that's falling apart.

Seeing that I'm no expert in these matters, do I have to worry about my 401K right now? I'm on the verge of possibly accepting a job offer in another state and I'm worried that by the time I transition over, my 401k might take a huge hit because of the aftermath of this situation. Should I be transferring the funds into an international fund within my plan or anything until this situation is resolved?

This loss is all on Ozzie. Another terribly managed game.

This guy is money in save situations.
