QUOTE (DBAH0 @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 02:19 PM) My guess is it's Barker. With the signing of Campbell, there's no need for Barker to become the point man on the PP in the future. Would this make Robert Lang expendable at all as well? But getting Kopitar and Neil for Khabibulin and Barker is a very good salary dump (albeit losing Cam would hurt). It just seems unrealistic and not plausible at all.

If they got Kopitar I'd poop myself.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 15, 2008 -> 12:17 PM) Hawks just signed Doug Janik.....http://nhlpa.com/WebStats/PlayerBiography.asp?ID=7199 Makes me think even more a deal is in the works....why keep loading up with 6th and 7th Dmen? Al Cimaglia Is Something Cooking ??? July 15, 2008, 3:11 PM ET [33 Comments] This news has not been substantiated through a press release yet, but it appears the Hawks have signed two defensemen. The first is Doug Janik, a 28 year old defender who played for the Lightning last season and was an UFA. The other defenseman is Aaron Johnson who is 25 years old and played 30 games for the Islanders last season. I show Johnson listed as a RFA although I do not know any other details at this time involving this transaction. Both players earned $475,000 last year. Both players shoot left and could be coming to Chicago as a precursor to a trade of another defenseman. Cam Barker is another left hander shooter from the Blue Line...hnmm.... Hmmm. Hopefully DT's got something real good cooking. Once again he makes a pre-emptive move that depends on someone else not backing out.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 22, 2008 -> 06:51 PM) Right now I'd put that over under at 125 and probably take the over. I was down in Texas last week and saw this kid first hand. I personally think he's the most talented player in all of baseball when considering all facets of the game. He hit a ball that was still going up as it got to the 2nd deck. He runs like a deer in the outfield and can get to any ball. His speed on the basepaths is ridiculous. Seriously, he's amazing. Yeah, my over still looks like an easy win... and my feelings that he's the most talented all-around player in baseball remain unscathed.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 12:26 AM) This farce needs to end. They need to call it right now and have the remaining players in the lineups hit in an impromptu hr derby. 3 swings each. Or just reward homefield advantage to best overall record like it should be.

Uh oh, text message talk.

I'm not too happy CQ has had to play an entire game's worth of baseball not for the Chicago White Sox.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 12:05 AM) I mean today. I have to be there in 7 hours and 48 minutes...

I like how after an All Star Game is called in a tie... the "solution" is to make the game matter in a big time way.

These boys are hitting with RISP like the Chicago White Sox.

Don't go to Vegas. My parents took my sister and I to Vegas when we were 9-12 and we were bored out of our minds. It's not a family place, and you don't like gambling, so it'll be pissing your money away. Once we did the MGM Grand amusement park twice we wanted to go.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 15, 2008 -> 02:59 PM) Excellent news there. Now if the Bears can get Simms this will be pretty decent thus far. That's my sentiment exactly.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 15, 2008 -> 11:53 AM) People hate Giambi, a juicer who cleaned up and pretty much admitted what he did, yet Hamilton is a hero after nearly killing himself on something way more dangerous. I don't get it. The fake mustaches in New York seem to suggest people are starting to get over Giambi.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 09:40 PM) If you're gonna sit there and two batters in a row, who are supposed to be your best, watch strike three, you deserve to get "shown up". At least swing at the damn ball. That.

In my book, as much as I love Buehrle, he's not a Hall of Famer. I think Hall of Fame, Buehrle just doesn't fit the bill.

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Jul 7, 2008 -> 09:15 PM) Hes not number 1 on my list Mine either...

Well, the signings of Jones will be nice... he's a legitimate talent if he can stay healthy. Now if the Chris Simms rumors could just come true, I'd start getting excited.

I don't see why the Packers, after all that Favre has done for them, would not release him. Way to create a messy divorce for no reason. They'd be smartest to take him back, as he gives them the best chance to win a Superbowl, but to be absolute dicks and not release him is even lamer.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 05:44 PM) lol now the New Yorker is part of the vast right win conspiracy. you guys are so off on this one i don't even know what to tell you all Wow, you're REALLY reading into this aren't you. I said "what the f***??" because it was incredibly poor judgement. It doesn't take a "Mr. Genius" to know that some less-educated folks will look at that cover and not see it as a joke... and they certainly won't open it up to read the pro-Obama content.

Just looking at the homepage of The Drudge Report I would swear it's time to leave the country...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 15, 2008 -> 08:33 AM) I think he is drinking, because he probably meant Lincoln Park. Yeah, he must have meant Lincoln Park. By far my favorite place to get crazy.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 05:11 PM) Giordano's has slipped now that it has locations everywhere, it's hit or miss. If you find one that's top notch though, it beats the pants off of anywhere else. IMO. The one in Oak Brook is top notch.

They better not make that deal for Neil. You do it for Vermette and enjoy him as your "next' Marty Havlat, though not as talented. Ridding ourselves of Bulin, and adding Barker in some capacity to get Vermette would be nice.

It looks to me like they are celebrating a homerun by their new ace.
