Exhibit A Look, I hate to rip on the Guillen family. Ozzie is a great ballplayer, he brought us a championship in '05, and watching the teleprompter try and figure out what the hell he's saying at live pressers is comedy gold. Even so, this shit with Oney has to stop. Bobby Jenks is a fat alcoholic redneck with anger issues. In related news, the sky is blue, socks go on your feet, and you never go ass to mouth. That's some fine detective work, Oney. Seriously, you think people don't know that? Jesus Christ, look at the guy. You don't just come out and say stuff like that. Likewise, you don't call someone else's integrity into question. Yes, Jenks " started it ." Whoop-de-do. Jenks was pissed that he was getting mixed signals from the club, felt like he hadn't been treated right, and felt that he "earned" more respect. Fine. True or not, that is a direct shot at Ozzie (and maybe even Kenny) but no one else. Nowhere in Jenks' sal...

Korver is absolutely killing it in this video.

Israel... always the aggressor The Bears put a hurting on the Vikings on MNF yesterday, knocking Favre out of the game en route to a 40-14 victory. With the win, the Bears move to a commanding 10-4 and lock up the NFC North. I'm pretty sure that just about every "expert" predicted the Bears to finish third in the division behind the Packers and Vikings with 6-8 wins being the consensus. Well, we're not who they thought we were... Turns out everything the coaching staff has been saying all season is accurate: the O-line just needed time to gel, the WR's needed time to get used to Martz's new schemes, the defense needed to get healthy and Cutler will be just fine. Turn the clock back 14 weeks and everyone is talking about how our O-line can't protect Cutler, how Cutler can't be a high-caliber QB while throwing careless INT's all the time (he can!!) and how Urlacher was washed up, Peppers was a waste of money, Hester can't play WR and is now ineff...

Beefy . The NY Times had an awesome article about TJ before the game yesterday, as he was on the verge of surpassing 10,000 career rushing yards. After grinding out (and he doesn't run for yards, he only grinds or rumbles for them) 62 yards against the Rams, TJ is now only the third active player (Tomlinson, Fred Taylor) to hold that achievement in the NFL. At 32 years old, he's now #25 all time and aside from Terry Allen, the only player in the top 150 to play for 5 different teams (and Allen was traded late in his career, not in his prime). The article played up the main themes that seem to always describe TJ: ridiculous work ethic, lack of pretense and being totally under appreciated. The Times took a similar approach in another article from last summer where they dug into his family background and his career history. Jones is the kind of player that nobody ever talks about and is someone who will quickly be forgotten a few years after he retires (hopefully in 2020). Nobod...

Damn right Dtosh! "RESPECT THE DONG" Quick updates, as it's been a few weeks: 1) Bears : Managed to steal another win from the Lions (holy shit those are some suffering fans) thanks to a fake penalty on Suh for trying but thankfully failing to kill Jay Cutler. I'll take it! tough loss to the Pats at home last week but we were due for a turd and there's no shame in dropping it against the hottest team in football. Let's just make sure we can bounce back this week and get a win against the Vikes (hopefully sans Favrenis) and maybe even at a neutral site after their stupid stadium had bad case of explosive Taco Bell-style snow diarrhea. 2) Bulls : Yeah baby! Riding high at 15-8 with 6 straight wins and Boozer is starting to round into form (22-18 last night). Derrick Rose is basically unstoppable and can play through injuries so the rest of the league is fucked. Kobe said it best: "I can tell when a player truly wants to be better and does what it takes to i...

THIS FISH-EYE LENS MAKES MY JUNK LOOK HUUUUUUGE! Where the hell is that Staples button, because that was easy . Three years, $37.5 million, and an insane 1-2 punch with Dunn for at least the next three years. That's exciting. Let's take a look at our roster, shall we? C: AJ 1B: Paulie 2B: Beckham SS: Ramirez 3B: Teahen (really? I give this two weeks before Morel is playing 3B again and Teahen platoons) LF: Pierre CF: Rios RF: Quentin (switch with Dunn as needed) DH: Dunn That's fucking good. With Rios, Dunn, Quentin, Ramirez and Paulie you're looking at 150 HR potential. Yeah, we're going to be "station-to-station" again, but we never really were built for speed. Deal with it, Ozzie. Oh, and that pitching rotation? 1: Peavy 2: Jackson 3: Floyd 4: Danks 5: Buerhle Holy fuckballs. That could be the best rotation in baseball. Yeah, Peavy may not be back proper this season (in which case we say hello to Lucas Harrel again - you could do worse). Yeah, our bullp...

But MOOOOOOOOOM! Well, KW certainly has been busy this offseason. Look at everything he has accomplished in the last 72 hours: #1. Sox sign Adam Dunn to a 4-year deal #2. Sox trade Linebrink #3. Sox sign Pierzynski #4. Sox non-tender Jenks #5. Ron Santo dies Seriously, this is probably the best 72 hours I have experienced as a Sox fan since 2005. You can't argue with that kind of production! Let's take these one at a time, shall we? #1. Sox sign Adam Dunn . I like this move, and I don't like this move. On the one hand, it further cements the "Kenny Gets His Man" Mantra, which is something I would have hoped would have been disproved by now. I wouldn't be surprised if the Sox get Rafael Soriano in 2017 just because Kenny wanted him now (see: Griffey, Ken; Ramirez, Manny; Alomar, Roberto). There's lots of signs that Dunn will play LF or DH next year if Konerko comes back, but as much as Reinsdorf loves Paulie, I can't imagine that he'll open the chec...
