Meanwhile, Cristobal Huet has a .932 save % with a 1.99 GAA. In Switzerland.

Theo!!!

QUOTE (whitesox901 @ Feb 3, 2012 -> 04:12 AM) None of our business. pisses me off this is in the media. This could have the same effect on Hamilton's career as an injury would. He is gonna be a FA next season and will be looking for a big payday. It is the media's business.

We were discussing two weeks ago how SportsCenter barely shows any hockey. Well the Blackhawks figured out how to get on there. I think I saw highlights 3 times in the half hour I was at the gym.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 09:51 PM) I'd trade Leddy, Bickell and as many draft picks as needed to get a top-4 dman. He might not be any better, but why can't Q give Sami Lepisto a chance? Thank God the Oilers won't make the playoffs, cause they seem to own the Hawks this year.

Wow Carmelo. At least try to get your team a good last-second shot.

Jamal Mayers has been such a solid signing

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 11:14 AM) I actually screamed "BS" when they kicked Sarah off last night for what Vinny did. In the past, they have brought in new partners. I think they did it differently this time just to get new drama. ALthought I have hated Banana more than him in the past...see ya, Wes. Leroy dominated his ass. I hate when I can't watch on Wednesday night and have to avoid the TV thread for 24 hours. Yeah, it did suck that Sarah got voted kicked off too. Maybe the whole "ex" thing kept them from finding another partner. My issue was that I saw Mandi's boobs the entire time before what Vinny did. What was the difference? Good to see Wes straight up get his ass kicked. His partner stepped up and he got smoked. His ego needed that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 07:08 PM) I have no problem at all with the Sox missing out these three Cuban players. Their price tags are going to be way too high. I concur.

The good news is that this puts Ozzie & Mark even further away from the playoffs.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 07:08 PM) It's an expensive draft pick that doesn't cost you the pick. I get that, it's worth the risk. Let's just remember that he's an 18/19 year old from where the talent level is much lower. It's like Cuban cigars, just because they are "restricted" doesn't automatically make them that much better.

It will be interesting to see if he ever makes it to the majors

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 04:43 PM) I really don't see what Gottlieb did wrong. +1

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 05:51 PM) Morons in Lions management. Nearly a third of their CAP is "eaten" by two players! (Stafford and CJ). I must say that if there are any two players to spend a third of the cap on it's a franchise QB & the most unstoppable receiver in the league. Cardinals were 35 seconds away from winning a Super Bowl mostly due to Warner/Fitzgerald.

Now ESPN is reporting that Peyton Manning has been cleared to play football again. Until it comes out of Rob Lowe's mouth or Twitter account, I won't believe it.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 02:16 PM) Then he owes the Mavs, the fans, and the NBA an apology. Because he's been worse than Carlos Boozer. Imagine if this were LeBron. LeBron didn't just win his franchise their 1st ever NBA title. I'm sure the Mavs and their fans are OK right now, the team is 14-9 & leading their division. As long he is ready & in top shape by playoff time, no big deal.

Kings GM responds: It was his team on their home ice so he could just be full of s***, but it sounds like a legit excuse.

Good deal for the Nats. He can fit in behind Stras, Zim, & Gio. If they do compete, he is a solid vet, if he doesn't you can always trade him at the deadline. With a one-year deal, he won't hamper any future plans.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 10:01 AM) Copied from Trib's Mark Gonzales Mailbag. As a long-time Sox fan, I'm deeply saddened by the complete collapse of our major and minor league talent pool caused by poor drafts, irresponsible trades, and underachieving, high-priced players. Diminishing further hope, we have only one player recognized as a top 100 prospect, and I hear that might be a gift so that all teams are represented. This feeling of despair has recently been amplified by the recent trade of arguably our best hitter Carlos Quentin for two obscure minor league prospects. This is after trading Sergio Santos, a proven closer, for just one prospect. Sox fans are beginning to wonder if we are getting outwitted and outmaneuvered. Now add this to the collective body of work negotiated over the last three years, and you begin to see the evidence of what's causing the problem: a flawed talent-acquisition strategy. Sox fans are appreciative of what Jerry Reinsdorf has done for the organization. He wrote the checks last year to fund the all-in strategy. That was a brave and courageous move by probably the only owner in baseball that would spend more than he took it in for the chance of winning another championship. But we were eventually equally dismayed when we found out that the field manager and general manager were not on same page squandering a precious opportunity for moving the organization forward. Adding to our despair, we are now hearing that the Sox have the WORST minor league system in baseball because they drafted poorly, traded away high-potential prospects, and mismanaged their Latin American development efforts. This news is coupled with the fact that they haven't made the playoffs in two years. As fans, we will always appreciate Kenny and Ozzie for winning the 2005 World Series. It was a magical run and a monumental accomplishment. But based on recent poor results, it is time for a new game plan of rebuilding the organization from the ground up with highly talented youth so that we as fans have hope for the future. Please begin to implement this new strategy by signing the free-agent Cuban players. We need a vote of confidence in our future and we need it now. -- Ed Lasak; Riverside, CA There's another owner in the same division that does the same thing, especially this year.

Happy Day of Birth!!!

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 09:09 PM) I wonder how bad Dunn wants a championship? LOL. With the way he hit last year, he might actually ruin Charlotte's chances too

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 09:15 AM) how are the Wrigley piss troughs not mentioned? For shame I was there once, walking to the end, when a guy suddenly yells out "Oh, s***!". Turns out he dropped his cell phone into the trough. Everyone just started cracking up, somebody yelled "Somebody call him, maybe he will answer it"

Columbus doesn't really matter in hockey, but last night in LA with the score tied at 2 and the 3rd period clock running down, the Kings were trying to score a game-winner. The clock suddenly stops for almost a second at 1.8, then keeps going, giving the Kings just enough time to score the winner with 0.5 seconds left.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 09:31 PM) I walked into a bathroom in a pretty nice office complex a few years ago and next to the toilet - NEXT TO THE TOILET - was a 12 inch turd on a piece of toilet paper. Laid out like a trophy on the floor. Who does that? Outstanding, that's funny.
