OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

If I had been toold about this and not read it myself I wouldn't have believed it.  Rogers is not merely taking issue with a White Sox site, he is arguing with of of the people who posts there.  How insecure is this guy?

"A couple days ago I used a Mark Buehrle item here that caused me to get bashed on the website whitesoxinteractive.com. That's nothing new. But it's mentioned here because this particular item said that I incorrectly reported details about Buehrle's contract. So that bothered me. I checked the information and was told that my report was correct.

The point of contention is a clause that guarantees Buehrle a $15 million salary in 2012 if he is traded. A poster on the WSI.com site said that clause was voided when Buehrle became a 10/5 guy in 2010, but that's not right. The clause still exists, although it isn't expected to be an issue for two reasons: 1) Any team trading for Buehrle would probably have to rework his contract to get him to waive the 10/5 rights, and 2) the White Sox are very unlikely to trade Buehrle. I made that point in my item, which discussed his potential value to National League teams. Now that we've got that cleared up..."

Wow. All those times that Andy's taken the hatchet to Phil and he chooses to bicker with someone who complained about him having his contract numbers wrong?
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

Sure, because in this case Phildo was right.

David Haugh is the stupidest man alive.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-spt-0606-haugh-zambrano--20110605,0,6141835.column

QuoteSumming up the way so many people on the North Side probably felt Sunday night, Jim Hendry just sighed when he answered the phone. On the eve of Major League Baseball's amateur draft, Hendry took precious time away from preparing for the Cubs to pick ninth overall to compare Carlos Zambrano's shenanigans.


QuoteI understand why Hendry needs to gather information and sort through issues related to the players association. But if it were me, after severing all ties with whatever therapist signed off on Zambrano's anger management last July, the Cubs' next move seems easy. Suspend Zambrano as long as it takes Hendry to find a trade partner willing to take on a contract scheduled to pay the pitcher $18 million in 2012 with a player option in 2013. If it takes all season for a Cubs team already out of contention, so be it.

Haugh is right. Carlos was clearly out of control when he punched someone in the dugout attacked a water cooler raised his voice to someone spoke to the press about how frustrating it is to play for a shitty baseball team.

Obviously what Haugh wants is for Zambrano to give the press the silent treatment like Urlacher did.

Dear Andy,

I know you don't often do requests but considering that it's already one of your favorite punching bags in David Huh! please tear him a new one for this latest affront to reason and good writing.

Thank you.

He points the blame at everyone but himself guys. That's why we should care so much. If our team sucks, at least they should be stand up guys. Guys you'd want to take to a birthday party. Guys you want to go to battle with. Best friend material.  You don't call out your best friend when they are trying their damned hardest. Amirite? Show some sincerity. Get rid of this clown, he's harshing our mellow.

When did Andy endear himself to SBNation? How can Al eventually ban him?

Right now, Al is:

a) Sitting in a dark room drinking Canadian Whisky from a bottle muttering expletives to himself.
b) On the phone screaming at Kos and George Castle.
c) In his car, riding up to Durand looking to settle up the score the old fashioned way: via fists or old-fashioned duel.
d) Pouring a nice glass of hemlock to go with his final meal: Oscar Mayer Bologna on white.
e) Sending in a resume to Desipio Media Ventures.
