Dodgers trade Juan Pierre to White Sox
The Chicago White Sox have acquired outfielder Juan Pierre and cash from the Los Angeles Dodgers for two players to be named.

The club announced the move Tuesday.

Pierre, 32, hit .308 (117-380) with 30 stolen bases, 57 runs and a .365 on-base percentage in 145 games with the Dodgers in 2009.

LA was a better team with Pierre than with Manny. Looks like a salary dump..


And now, playing left field for the Dodgers:

1. **snort** If anyone knows about asterisks, upton, it is YOU!
Un-fucking-believable.

Do you have an asterisk next to that "fat" girl?

Douche!

3. You are referring to Timmy L as the "clean" guy.
Edited on Tue Dec-15-09 08:13 PM by madinmaryland
Because it is not the "cream" guy.

So how was the "fat girl"?

4. All the Giants are above suspicion
Edited on Tue Dec-15-09 08:24 PM by Upton
and the "cream guy" hasn't been a member of the Giants since 2007.

EDIT: pot is not a PED..

5. I am glad to see you and cboy are finally admitting the obvious.
In regards to Lincicum, pot is a PED (at least when it comes to a performance eating drug!)

And you did say "clean".

6. Wasn't he benched in the playoffs?
I seem to remember that but I could be wrong.

7. I hate this
I'm sure they will regret this. Juan pierre represents everything that is positive in the game. He never once complained about having to sit. Unfortunately the Dodgers made their own bed when they gave Manny* the option of whether to come back this year. Anything less than a monster year from him won't be enough to wipe the stain away from this mess.

I wish Juan all the best in the future.

8. There's no need to root for an asterisk
there's still time for you to jump on the Giants bandwagon. Think about it, you'll feel proud, for a change, as you support a team that represents all the best attributes of today's MLB.

Dodgers* are quickly becoming old news anyway, the Giants are coming for the division..

9. Dude! You rooted for the ultimate ASTERISK for years.
The pot calls the kettle black!

DOUCHE!

10. I don't think so..
Bonds only came under suspicion in the very latter part of his career. Back when he hit 73 I don't remember any talk about steroids. A lot of people, not just Giants fans, were excited by that year. Those are the kind of things I remember, not the media driven witch hunt that followed soon thereafter.

11. You have a real poor memory then, upton.
That's all that was being talked about from 98 on with the juiced up home run numbers.

12. Really? You think steroid talk started with Bonds in the latter part of his career?
:rofl:

How old are you? Like 12?
