Humber is a badass for wanting to stay in.

I give Dunn props.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 10:29 AM) Hollywood does things a little differently. He flies under the radar, makes sure he acquires guys who are "Chicago Tough." Ugh. ...which is the exact opposite of "Hollywood".

Congrats Big Jim, sorry about Ozzie. Man, Thome is awesome.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 07:18 PM) Why? He has pretty much done nothing since going to Seattle. Thought he was doing better.

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 01:43 PM) Holy Crap! Jason Marquis pitched on a broken leg for 13 pitches and an at-bat.... Ouch Holy s***.

I regret Jeff Gray.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 08:36 AM) I really hope Mark gets the Jordan treatment from Jerry if it comes down to whether they can make a new contract fit or not. $33M is too much for Buehrle.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 11:26 AM) It really makes you wonder if Florida would now consider Guillen for Morrison. Wasn't it Morrison who we were supposedly gonna "trade" for Ozzie? I regret not doing that, because Morrison and Dayan in the corners next year would be some sweet s***.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 05:46 PM) Did you see the few posts prior to this where they said things some asshole might come in and say? Not what I had in mind Balta.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 02:43 PM) I don't know if it could be Santiago or some return from trading Floyd/Danks or some veteran Doug Davis type signed in ST, but I will grant, you need to have a 6th starter option in AAA known to start the season with that kind of rotation. They'd probably be able to go plenty deep in games, but sometime around June/July we'd actually start wanting to have guys do some spot starts. I'd still wanna go with a six man. What its done for Buehrle, could do for Humber, Peavy, Sale, and Stewart, would be great.

They made that a base hit. Damn.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 02:32 PM) I actually was one of his defenders last year because of his defense. His defense this year has been a mess, and especially a mess when the 9th inning rolls around for some reason. He's cost us several games on defense and saved virtually none. Last year Juan was really, really good at D. This year, no.

Good play by Morel.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 07:31 PM) Damn. Tough ass year for that man. And you know some asshole is going to say Dunn should suck it up and earn his contract.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 01:54 PM) Texas has suddenly taken over the whole Big 12, by having their own deal with ESPN (IIRC) and starting their own "longhorn network". A&M is staring at being the baby university in the state of Texas. Instead, if they can hop over to the SEC, they can bring teams like Bama, Florida, etc., into their stadium and maybe even have some conference strength bragging rights. The SEC gets the market access, both Houston and Dallas while they're at it, the Aggies get out of Texas's shadow. Texas couldn't continue to have this much power over A&M, Mizzou, Oklahoma, and Kansas, and to a lesser degree Texas Tech and Oklahoma State. If the Big 12 was made up of Iowa State, Kansas State, and MAC teams, then sure, they could exercise that power. If Mizzou leaves with A&M, it'll be death to the Big 12.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 02:27 PM) He's been straight garbage. I have no problem admitting that. It annoys me that I seemingly hate only White Sox prospects. If come October and we're sitting at home watching other teams play for the 9th time in 11 years under KW, I'm not going to put it all on Dunn/Rios/Peavy. Beckham/Morel will be on my s***list as well. Fair enough, but part of that comes with the territory of this being a Sox site, so of course you will appear to hate on Sox prospects more, because it's not worth your time to get on other systems prospects and instead only point out the good ones.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 12:25 PM) a yfrog account from someone named Haroonmihtar (sounds Jewish to me) That name isn't Jewish sounding in the slightest...? Quick Google search shows its just a guy's name, he's Arab, goes to Washington Governor's University.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 02:21 PM) Who didn't hype up that system? And most of their guys haven't even had a full year in the bigs yet. I pointed it out because Balta's example was Moustakas, who has been quite awful. I remember when I wanted Kila Ka'aihue for this team. Man, he didn't work out either.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 02:04 PM) Where do you get this idea that I pimp every single prospect from every single team? Both the guys you've named have been disappointments this year. Matt Wieters has been the biggest disappointment of them all. He's a stud defensively. But offensively he's lacking. In all fairness, you did pimp the entire Royals farm system earlier this year, saying when Hosmer, Moustakas, & Co. joined the club they would go on an Atlanta Braves type run. And you've also pimped Drabek a lot.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 11:00 AM) and not a single person got up off the Cubs bench. You wanna talk about lack of respect for a man. Yup. Remember when Cubs fans would say Zambrano was waaay better than Buehrle?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 01:41 PM) Tonight's lineup: Pierre, Vizquel, Konerko, Quentin, Ramirez, De Aza, Morel, Lillibridge, Flowers Peavy vs Hochevar Hochevar has put up 4 quality starts in his last 5, with an ERA of 2.41. So enjoy the fireworks after the game. Omar...? God why.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) Yet wont be called up to a major league club that is below average offensively. Now THATS good management. This.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 11:40 AM) I think it is mostly Soxtalk that doesn't like him. I think Toronto is bigger than SoxTalk. Maybe the BBWAA is too.
