Unfortunately I didnt get to see Raw, and the results I read were kind of "you had to be there" ish so can someone explain to me whats going on? Was Nash pretty much saying that HHH sent him a text saying take out the winner, or someone else?

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 11:11 PM) I think I remember that Detroit was supposed to be in on Rios and the White Sox basically blocked him from going there. yes, I remember that too.. but that was just speculation.. and either way, KW shouldn't be making stupid claims to block someone when the risk is getting stuck with a lousy player and an ugly contract.. if he just really wanted Rios (which I think is more likely than just a block attempt) then it was just a poor move and there's not much that can be done now because no one is taking Rios anytime soon.. or Peavy for that matter.. and if Dunn doesn't pull his head out of his ass that's 3 really bad contracts that will cripple this team when our window closes..

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 11:00 PM) Good questions. Something else to think about...would anyone else have traded for Matt Thornton? Gavin Floyd? Carlos Quentin, Sergio Santos, etc? Sometimes he hits and sometimes he misses... I think he gets a little confident at times, and then he gets burned and walks away with his tail between his legs... I think the positive by far outweighs the negative. Im all for him trying to put us over the top, but some of these boom or bust moves are really going to handcuff us within the next few seasons when our window will be closing and its going to be time to rebuild/retool

Ide rather have a GM who is going to make smart decisions for not only now but the future as well.. KW seems like hes more interested in reclamation projects and pulling a rabbit out of his ass (Peavy, Rios) Does anyone think ANYONE else would have traded for Peavy, while injured, outside of us? Rios was struggling pretty bad in Toronto, was there any indication that if we didn't claim him someone else would have? And I get why he made those transactions, but man they arent really working out how we needed them to and they are only going to really hurt going forward with that money on the books..

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 04:54 PM) Yeah. F*ck science! Its not the science part as its almost like they believe he could go throw a 97 mph fastball

man really? I guess I shouldn't have gotten a Bruney jersey after his hot start for us..

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 10:36 AM) The mound is only like 40 feet away, so I think it could be just as tough as trying to hit a big league pitcher. From Wiki: Ugh, I hate when people try to make comparisons like that... Like when Favre would throw a football and they would be like "that's the equivalent of a 97 MPH fastball"

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 02:01 PM) As a Punk fan I'm disappointed that they've rushed his title run. However, he's still in the main even picture. There are so many questions after last night. Cena's half-hearted protest, Stephanie leaving Cena's locker room, HHH looking confused when Nash came out, Nash being there period & finally ADR in the middle of all of this. For the first time in a long time, WWE watchers are left guessing. In recent history its been pretty easy to see where they are going with certain things, but I cant figure out whats going on with this.. The whole Stephanie thing, Nash getting involved.. Cena had short words with trips after the match, I don't know what could possibly happen with all of this..

Its either setting up Punk/HHH or Nash is ADR new bodyguard type thing and maybe its setting up Cena/HHH for something down the line..

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 09:03 AM) how was the pop when Nash came out? Was he still in his Diesel gear? He was in jeans and a tshirt.. he seemed pretty well received from the crowd.. I think this is setting up a Punk/HHH match

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 11:48 PM) Enough haterade about my South Carolina team!! 'Doormat' and mired in mediocrity aren't the same thing. We're a 500 program over the life of football, not a complete assclown team. They look like they will be pretty good this year

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 09:43 AM) from Dan Pompei's twitter Not what I said. Speculative note raising the possibility. RT @NEPatriotsDraft @danpompei reports Ocho, Haynesworth likely to be cut. Thats no shock at all The dude called it a career in Washington.. hes lazy and just doesn't care

I don't see how you can be motivated for baseball like that Its not like you can pitch faster.. its not like you can hit the ball further all of the sudden because someone slighted you.. I just don't see the actual game of baseball being one of those bulletin board material games.. Anyone agree with this?

haha, thanks guys.. Its pretty crazy that ive known a lot of you guys since I was 18-19 years old..

Its just good to see some changes in any way

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 09:32 PM) Hmm. We won today, so that means you can't post tomorrow either. Haha, I didnt even plan on posting cuz I was at work.. I just missed getting to listen to it on XM radio.. but I listened to all 3 twins games, so I think we caught a break that we won tonight without my ears involved

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 09:15 PM) Well that's what you get for checking here instead of a sports site dummyhead Its easier to just click two things and check here than have to navigate through ESPN.com or CBSSportsline.. like I said, was busy so just wanted to check reaaaaaaaaaal quicklike

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 09:10 PM) I posted around 5:30 Chicago time, here I already created tommorow's yeah I had already left for work, but now obviously I know they have started the series.. I just couldn't remember if they had the off day on monday or not and when I checked the site about mid afternoon there was no gamethread and there usually is..

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 09:05 PM) Really? That's how you know if they have a game or not? No, but I was busy so I just quickly checked here

What the hell? You assholes need to make it quicker with the game threads.. I checked the site earlier and there was no gamethread for today so I thought we had the off day and missed the game.. sons of b****es

I doubt the majority even care if they are booed..

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 01:19 AM) If you guys hearing/reading about it then don't f***ing read this thread. cool story bro.. wanna edit your post so it makes sense?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 11:57 AM) Not really the point. They have to find out what De Aza can do against lefty pitching. Unless they just don't think he's in the plans for 2012 at all, which could be the case. Regardless of how you feel, they are still trying to win the division.. sitting Pierre makes no sense at all right now..

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 11:23 PM) I don't think anyone would disagree with you about Gio>Hudson. But Hudson is still young with great peripherals. He is gonna be a stud, and we would have had him for a long time for very little money. There is nothing that suggests Hudson is going to be a "stud" Doesn't mean he wont be a good pitcher, but people REALLY need to let it go.. hes gone, hes never coming back, move on..

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 10:36 AM) Finally got around to watching Brokeback Mountain. Impressive film although I thought Gyllenhaal was a weak casting for Jack Twist. Amazing cinematography. I also liked it, of course it took me years before I finally watched it when I was by myself one night and there was nothing else to watch on demand..
