QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 02:37 PM) the worst part is they have a really good record against teams over .500. They might actually be contenders in the East. I wouldn't go that far. They haven't played as many teams over .500.

You sneaky bastard!

X-cellent movie btw. Probably my favorite movie President of all time.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) If I had to guess...the biggest issue with Quentin on the trade market right now would be Beltran. Beltran is more certain to be moved and teams that think they're in on him won't be in on Carlos until, well, Carlos is moved. That last part is confusing since they both have the same first name.

QUOTE (bighurt574 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 02:39 PM) I'd think we'd be able to get something of real value in return for Quentin. Sure he's streaky, but he's still one of the better power bats on the trade market and he's under team control for another year. I'm sure he'd get a decent salary in arbitration for next year but that's still nothing compared to a lot of the overpriced contracts out there. That's a big understatement.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 02:37 PM) And the people who said that it will be a complete mess at the start will continue to be right. I'm building up a pretty solid record on this, actually. I didn't think it was the smartest idea to get into another expensive battlefront with the current state of our economy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 02:34 PM) We didn't put him on the All Star team this year. I don't know if this is sarcasm but he did not deserve to be in the ASG in my opinion.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 02:29 PM) I'm actually kind of shocked Quentin won't get you a good prospect, assuming Boers is accurate. Maybe teams are afraid of his arb number next year. If the Sox are "desperate" to move him like Terry says, they apparently are very afraid. Or maybe we're overvaluing him.

Ving Rhames then becomes President. Oh wait, I'm thinking of the 5th Element.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 02:26 PM) I.E., a long term cluster f*** that Jesus II got us into for....I still don't know why. And i'm 100% positive he doesn't either. Jesus II? He's a Muslim, dummy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 02:19 PM) Oh God No, please God not another impressionist...I don't want to see more of another Impressionist appearing on Fox during Football...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... This one is classier He's doing Shakespeare!

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 01:30 PM) For sure. Paul Giamatti was good; I don't think I've heard anyone give an impression of him before but he has a distinct delivery that lends itself to impressions. Clooney was well done too.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 01:23 PM) I honestly can't even pick which was my favorite; each was better than the last. Droopy and Christopher Walken made me LOL.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 08:42 AM) Especially in Bruney's case as he has not been used in high leverage situations at all. He's the epitome of a "smoke & mirrors" guy.

^^obligatory jerk

How experts can look at this team and think the bullpen is the biggest area to improve is beyond me. Apparently they switch channels whenever our team is up to bat.
