These public pissing matches have to stop. All they're doing is letting both these guys dig bigger holes for themselves.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 13, 2011 -> 02:09 PM) He'll be tried out as a starter eventually, I wouldn't worry too much about that. The best thing for the team this year is for Sale to be in the bullpen so that's what the Sox are doing, next year is a different story. I hope so. I agree that Sale being in the pen this year is absolutely what's best for the team. He has the poise, the stuff, and Peavy's accelerated recovery makes this less of a problem then it ever was. i don't think that'll be true in the near future, but for now we're all in.

Ii can't wait to get out to Glendale again this year. Hopefully, i'll have more stories to tell. Maybe i can get Brandon Hynick to talk to me again.

I understand the organization's thinking here, but i'd hate to see Sale pigeonholed as a reliever. I'm hoping that putting him in the bullpen for year (and i think he will be for the duration of the year) isn't a permanent thing.

I think it would be hilarious if the Yankees end up running out Colon and Garcia at the 4 and 5 spots. I would watch each and everyone of those games with interest.

I'd almost prefer that KW never try to deal with the Yankees again. The last time he did it didn't end well.

I love these kind of low-risk, high-reward moves. I'm looking forward to see if Lastings can put anything together come spring.

I'll take this deal. Seems like it's pretty good terms for a solid baseball player.

I can't really tell anymore. Wearing a Sox hat out here in the New England area is more of a fashion statement then and admission of fanhood.

This makes a world of sense and i won't be b****ing if this goes down. I can't deny that i hate watching Freddy pitch it's not recent Bartolo Colon bad, but it's close.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 25, 2011 -> 03:02 PM) Is Baines not coaching this year? I'm wondering that too i see Ozzie, Cora, Coop, Cox and Salas (bullpen catcher) listed but no Harold.

Have the Jays expressed any interest in Vlad for DH? It seems like a logical next step.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 25, 2011 -> 09:58 AM) I'm just messing with him, he'll know that when he reads what I said. I really need to catch up with this board. These kinds of things are way too subtle for me.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 25, 2011 -> 08:26 AM) This whole line of reasoning is insane. You are encouraging violence, and when it happens (because it's inevitable that someone does punch this douche), I'm blaming you because of your violent rhetoric. Lostfan=Male member of Palin family. Yes, because if anything can make this discussion more civil it's this kind of talk. When talking about all matters Guillen there’s no need to make anything more divisive. I don't think anyone's saying that they'd have liked what went down at the roast to have escalated, but clearly some kind of divine power needs to sweep in and tell Oney to shut up. Lostfan was just offering that someone's fist would be a plausible solution.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 12:32 PM) Was Bennett the one who scored the TD on the Hanie pass? Because that was a stellar move. Bennett plays big. He had pretty nice hands and makes a solid effort after every catch. He's probably turned into the Bears most physical reciever.

Does everyone whose accusing Jay of willingly sitting out this game understand the actual implications of what they’re suggesting? Does anyone actually believe that Jay Cutler wanted to lose this game? To be put under scrutiny in like this? To throw a kid like Hanie into the fire on this kind of stage? I refuse to believe that Cutler is the kind of man that would come within a game of the Super Bowl, get a minor injury, and blow it out of proportion. I don’t think any competitor, any NFL Quarterback, would pull the kind of s*** that Cutler is being accused of. I think the entire discussion is disturbing on many levels.

There's not a chance in hell that this deal ends up working out for the Angels. There's just no excuse in taking on 86 million dollars over four years for two decent players.

I'm adjusting okay to the loss. I'm just really proud of the way that Caleb Hanie played and the way the guys rallied around him.

Guys... if f***ing Hanie wins this thing... GO BEARS!!!

IT'S A GAME b****ES

YES!!!!!!!!!

Do you believe in magic?

Cutler's done for the day.

Urlacher showed up today!

I might just run the wildcat for the rest of the game. s***, that was a hell of a hit.
