QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 10:38 AM) But it is still taking advantage of a situation made possible by the protection of a child molester by an entire university. If Illinois wants to take advantage of that, I can damned well blame them and lose respect for them. Anything to win football games though... So all the PSU kids should be forced to stay at Penn State and not allowed to transfer anywhere? They had nothing to do with the protection of the child molester, but yet it's their fault and they should not leave the university?

QUOTE (Wedge @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 10:07 AM) Bingo. Floyd and Jones for Greinke and KRod? That'd get me real excited. Have you seen him pitch this year?? Since he was handed the closers job last week, this is what he has done: 7/17: 1.0 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 K, SV 7/18: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 1 K, SV 7/23: 0.2 IP, 3 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 1 K, BS, L 7/25: 0.2 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, BS, L

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 04:57 PM) If I'm a Cubs fan, I'd hate Ryan Dempster right now. Trading a rental for a guy like Randall Delgado is a complete steal. Especially since he originally said he would go to Atlanta. He earned the right to veto trades, but to just change your mind that late in the game sucks. And Garza had the minor tricep injury vs. STL, now he went home for the birth of his child and might not start before the trade deadline, which limits his trade value. This was supposed to be an exciting trade deadline for Cubs fans, but may turn into a dud.

Why do other teams want Floyd? If the Sox are so willing to dump him at this stage in his career, why would other teams trade for him as opposed to a younger, cheaper player?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 06:32 AM) JR on MB56 from ESPN.COM: "The only thing I can tell you is when Mark told me he had a $56-million, four-year contract offer, I told him he should take it," Reinsdorf said. "I really told Mark he had to take it. At this stage of your career, it's more money than you're worth. He said he was going to take it, but he'll back in four years." LOL, this is outstanding. "They are overpaying the s*** out of you, so you have to take the money & run"

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 07:10 AM) Royals sort of helped us out in 05 when they beat the Indian the last week before we swept them. Still remember Grady dropping that fly in the sun. As did the Rays that last week of the season, they were still a perennial 95-loss team back then.

QUOTE (SouthSidePride05 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 04:03 PM) If Greinke's not comfortable pitching in the "dark", how would he feel about a blackout game? Sorry, that was lame. I laughed

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 07:05 PM) Ricky Romero-- what the? 6 walks and 4 hits in 1.1 inn. 8 runs. I give the Jays credit for hanging around .500, but they're not going to be a winning team over the next 10 weeks with mostly division games. Last 6 starts: 0-6, 28.1 IP, 10.48 ERA, 2.33 WHIP

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 02:35 PM) Had a very awkward conversation with a woman several years ago at my cousin's LL (12-13) game. Woman: How old are you? Me: 31. You? Woman: 29. Me (laughing): That line is a hard sell at your son's LL game. He's 13, so by trying to say you're 29, you're claiming to have had your son when you were 16. Woman: I did have him at 16. Me (awkward silence) Isn't that normal in Indiana???

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 12:58 PM) If FLA threw in about $20M, making MB's contract effectively $10M/year for 3 more years... I'd do it. Sign me up for that

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 11:54 AM) What a waste of time/energy/money though. That article said they've been working with the City for 9 months on traffic plans. Everything was a go until this alderman decided to make a headline. And I'm sure there are other business owners in his ward who have the same opinion Chick-Fil-A. They just aren't stupid enough to publicly comment on it.

QUOTE (G&T @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 11:40 AM) I really don't think you can make a zoning decision based on religious belief. If the store opens and people don't eat there, that's different. It's Chicago, you make a zoning decision based on whatever the hell you want, normal rules don't apply.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 11:05 AM) If this was the 90's Beckham would be fine, unfortunately Mark Lemke's can't play on championship-caliber teams anymore. Nick Punto & Ryan Theriot were on the 2011 WS champions and had a combined 27 ABs in the World Series.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 10:58 AM) Backloaded contracts, state with a history of not showing up for baseball games, thinking or a least hoping people pay to see a manager.................everyone should have seen this coming last winter. LOL, seriously. I know plenty of us on here predicted this would happen last winter, I would hope MLB executives were able to as well.
