Among the teams that have admitted interest in shortstop Orlando Cabrera – who had a forgettable year in Chicago – are the Giants, Orioles, Indians and Royals. The Giants and Orioles are waiting on Rafael Furcal first.

 
those teams’ 1st round draft picks are all protected…

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

How about we judge pitchers on the amount of quality starts they have over how many intangibles play into getting a “win”. Plus M&M are fucking idiots anyways. FUCKING IDIOTS!

last night i read a piece of criticism that described Shakespeare's sonnets

as the interplay between wanting to protect and legitimize homoerotic practice that was in the midst of being codified as illegal and immoral and the subsequent misogyny that arises from his attempt to do so. the more beautiful and aesthetically pure the young man, the more puerile and loathsome the dark lady.

on the one hand, i can’t believe how utterly meaningless that is, and at the same time i was compelled by the argument. the more ludicrous and coded* the piece got as i read further, the more i was struck by both thoughts simultaneously that pulled in totally opposite directions. luis terrero and carlos quentin on respective sides of the coin. without HBP! would there have been QBP! ? i fear for your few years.

Just as an exercise, if the Sox did want to drop the payroll, who goes?

It’s Vazquez, Dotel, and Dye right? those are the only guys making significant money that are moveable.

Thome, Konerko, and Buehrle all have NTC issues and moving AJ leaves AFL God Cole Armstrong as starting C. So, I’d rule those moves out….

by hitlesswonder on Nov 20, 2008 10:40 AM CST reply actions  

MB has no more NTC issue than dye.

unless you’re concerned about the escalators.

I was thinking the salary ballooning would be an issue

But, really, the contract is short enough and his performance was good enough that he could get moved.

OK, so the Sabathia firesale would have JV,Dotel,Dye, and Buehrle priced to move……

Clearing payroll? How about the Blue Jays making a run at CC:

OTTAWA (Reuters) – Obese people have the right to two seats for the price of one on flights within Canada, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled on Thursday.

The high court declined to hear an appeal by Canadian airlines of a decision by the Canadian Transportation Agency that people who are “functionally disabled by obesity” deserve to have two seats for one fare.

The airlines had lost an appeal at the Federal Court of Appeal in May and had sought to launch a fresh appeal at the Supreme Court. The court’s decision not to hear a new appeal means the one-person-one-fare policy stands.

The appeal had been launched by Air Canada, Air Canada Jazz and WestJet.

Best day ever

So I’m reading the Daily Illini (our horseshit school paper), and there’s a little add at the bottom with my second favorite logo. “Just announced: Wu-Tang Clan at the Canopy Club December 13th”. I finished my test in 5 minutes and ran out and got a ticket. This will be my first concert ever. I am way too excited right now.

I hope there isn't a rapiest ape.

well, i'm from plainfield

so kind of but not really considering it’s only a half hour from chicago and in between joliet and naperville. and i know you’re not mocking me, i’ve gotten the same sentiment from a lot of people when they find that out. i’m not really sure why i never had before. i never really cared enough to want to go really until the last few years and bad luck or timing had blocked me from going to see some acts i really wanted to see (method man, flogging molly, girl talk, the third day at lollapolooza this summer). everything finally worked out.
