southsider2k5 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Well that was a waste of a few weeks... At this point I wish we had just had Montero, Tracey, or whoever up here to take their lumps instead of wasting our time with a guy who was obviously hurt. Thanks for nothing.

Dick Allen Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 (edited) For his efforts, Nelson will receive approx. $350,000 (pro-rated $500,000 salary), he had a nice room at the Westin for a couple of weeks, and now probably goes back to the broadcasting in Seattle. Not bad at all for him. This exit still has me shaking my head. I still think there is more to the story than elbow damage.

Milkman delivers Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 01:24 AM) Somewhere Jabroni is crying. So, what was your favorite moment of the Jeff Nelson era? His stay here is almost as memorable as the immortal Jose Paniagua's stint a few years back. What happened to him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 So, who do we trade for? I haven't even thought about who, yet, but it seems obvious this is going to be a trade possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 06:55 AM) Ozzie thinks the same way as Nelson on this topic. Should he move along as well? No, but he can kiss my ass and I'm currently very pissed at Ozzie for being an ignorant fool on this subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange timing with this announcement and Grimsleys arrest and subsequent revealations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but he came clean and is back to being a great hitter. It's scary to think what this scumbag Grimsley knows or is saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's scary to think what this scumbag Grimsley knows or is saying. Yeah its not pretty he is narking, with that whole code of silence crap, but at the sametime, if baseball is ever going to get past this mess, it is going to take a big purge getting everyone out into the open so that we can move on from this. If the players keep getting protected and hidden away, this issue will continue to simmer as people mindlessly speculate about who is and who isn't doped up. Of course the players union has done nothing to help this matter by fighting every single step of the way against drug testing and penalites. Hopefully this means we will get bloodtesting soon, instead of the basically worthless piss tests they have now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's scary to think what this scumbag Grimsley knows or is saying. 1.) He never came clean, he said he was sorry but never what for. 2.) HGH still isn't tested for so as far as I'm concerned both he and Sheff are far from clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true they are possibly on HGH, but that is true of many ppl in the league. That's why SS2k5 is right about the need for more rigorous testing.
