  1. Does Peavy keep the "No Trade Clause" through the remainder of the contract even if he is dealt this year to another team? Does he keep it for the remainder of the contract or once he waives it, it's gone for good? The reason I ask is because if he waives the NTC completely (for the remainder of the contract), this could be a great trade for the White Sox or any team that gets him. You're basically getting a great pitcher early in the season that could be traded AGAIN nearer to the deadline in July when teams get desperate, thus getting back a better package than you gave up. You could also trade him in the off season or next year, again, getting more than you gave up.
  2. Does his NTC stay with him through the remainder of the contract once he's traded to another team?
  3. NO. Chuck Norris is the cure for our economic crisis.
  4. If its essentially a done deal, and only formalities are in the way, cant he give Hendry the go ahead to get the deal done? If the Tribune doesn't want to take the risk, then no he can't. And the Tribune might not budge on it...they're taking on risk for very little possible benefit to them. I'd imagine since the Trib is currently in bankruptcy court, they're probably not allowed to take on the extra long term salary as debt.
  5. Isn't Macha's issue that he thinks Demp threw at Braun's head??? The fact that the ball hit the bat doesn't make the intent any less. In Macha's mind, Demp just missed him, but still threw at him.
  6. After hitting .109 in April, which is abysmal, he's .258 for May. Not great, but he's been getting on base more of late. That said, nothing wrong with Koyie getting a game or two a week at this point.....until Koyie starts sucking again.
  7. Suspending starting pitchers is a joke anyway. All it does is push back their starts a day or two. I think MLB should enact some sort of rule that forces a starter to miss a FULL turn in the rotation. Fine them the same amount you would normally fine them, but make the ball club actually skip them through the rotation.
  8. Maybe he's appealing because he doesn't mind the time off but doesn't want ot lose the $$$. Sounds logical to me.
  9. Damn I hate Larussa http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/recap;_ylt= ... 16&prov=ap what was that, tony? Cut LaRussa some slack. He had a few cold ones after the game and misspoke. It can happen! http://timesfour.com/x4graemlins/icon_beer.gif
  10. Best line in the thread!!! http://timesfour.com/x4graemlins/icon_rofl2.gifhttp://timesfour.com/x4graemlins/icon_rofl2.gifhttp://timesfour.com/x4graemlins/icon_rofl2.gifhttp://timesfour.com/x4graemlins/icon_rofl2.gifhttp://timesfour.com/x4graemlins/icon_rofl2.gifhttp://timesfour.com/x4graemlins/icon_rofl2.gifhttp://timesfour.com/x4graemlins/icon_rofl2.gif
  11. Big deal if he gets a game or two suspension. He's gonna need days off throughout the season anyway. It's not like he's gonna make 155+ starts.
  12. It's almost like Theriot is still in the game...only he's not.
  13. He's a short white shortstop. Stealing is a solid decision. Don't criticize. ....specializing in "grittiness".
  14. So....does Lou send Miles......to get him in scoring position of course. #-o
  15. wan some bad news.....Koyie Hill was batting. #-o
  16. Want some good news.....Bako could be batting right now!
  17. Nice Job Neal!!!!http://northsidebaseball.com/Forum/posting.php?mode=reply&f=26&t=53642#
  18. How about a sac bunt, an intentional walk to Matsui, pitching change to Marmol, and I-Rod K and then a lazy fly out to CF by Berkman.
  19. Now a sac bunt, followed by a sac fly. Sheesh.
  20. Pence is pretty damn annoying too? He just looks goofy with everything he does....practice swings, throwing, running off the field.
  21. "Bit of a jackass"......NO. COMPLETE JACKASS..........YES!!
