The action scene at the end of rambo was quite possibly the greatest action sequence I've ever seen. f***ing amazing.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jan 18, 2008 -> 07:49 AM) Aardsma, M-Mac, Masset, Haeger, Prinz, Sisco, Myers, and Day posted an ERA of 7.88 in 158 IP of relief. If Dotel gives us 75 IP with a 4.50 ERA, this will be a huge upgrade. I don't disagree, plus I'm figuring between at worse you have MacDougall and Dotel who combined are able to do what a normal reliever could workload wise (assuming one or both of them have a stint on the DL) all while posting a good ERA. Mac/Dotel/Jenks all have filthy stuff, Linebrink is steady eddy, Wasserman is steady eady with a different look and than Thornton/Logan both are solid lefties. God damn, I like that pen if it works out and financially it isn't horrible, plus if you think about it, when JEnks is due a fat contract you lose a couple other contracts off your books in the pen. The Sox now have Aardsma, MMac, Sisco, Haeger who all could be valuable to some team or another. I'm not saying they will be good, but if I'm the Drays or some crap team why not buy these guys for cheap and see if a full season turns them into something.

I'm concerned about one major thing, his injury riddled history. He has a great arm though and when healthy I love having it in the pen, but I question the total sense of this deal. The pen, on paper, is clearly massivly improved but I still question with the Sox having so much of this money tied up to guys that may not even have a roster/starters spot (ie, Uribe/Crede/Contreras (who sucks in my book until he proves otherwise). Definitely didn't see the Sox adding another starter.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 10:49 AM) You're the first guy I know that complains about being sexually harassed. If you've seen him, you'd know why.

Shelby will be the Sox top prospect by next year. Well, with the exception of whomever the heck they bring in between now and than. But out of the current crop, pending Poreda developing better secondary stuff I'd say Shelby is the guy with the most upside in the system (obviously the young SS and one or two other guys in the system could potentially compete with him in that regard). He's a good athlete who should project out as a solid CFer and offensively I love his tools.

I just want to say...thank you Iowa...for beating a top 10 team. It is going to be a long, ugly season, but Lickliter is getting the most out of these guys and they continue to get better, especially on the defensive side. It was also nice getting Freeman back because it gives Iowa one other offensive weapon (Justin Johnson being the other).

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 02:26 PM) Bears arent going to be able to afford J Jones and Benson. Plus I dont see why he would even consider the bears after how they treated his brother. Benson will be the starter and he will have to beat out Wolfe. They spent a 3rd rounder on him, so i doubt they are going to draft another first day half back this year. Actually they would. Benson's contract had numerous escalator clauses that were built on incentives that he hasn't reached and because of that they could easily bring in another back that would cost 2-4 million on the cap.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jan 8, 2008 -> 08:41 PM) Eh I did forget about nash.... That being said this year I think Chris Paul has been better and deserves the allstar game more. Nash 2nd than Baron. I can buy the Chris Paul being a better individual player than Nash but I can't underestimate all that Nash has done for the Suns. He just makes everyone around him great and I know Paul makes his surrounding players better but I don't think he does it quite to the level that Nash does (not yet at least).

Rex kicks the s*** out of all those options you are discussing. If the Bears don't bring Rex back, it better be because they got some steal in the 2nd round (ie Brohm falling to that pick) or because they were able to get McNabb for a 3rd or 4th rounder (and got him to restructure the contract to make it more cap friendly). Otherwise I don't see any good, semi realistic scenarios in which this team is better off letting Rex walk.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jan 8, 2008 -> 06:49 PM) I think Chris Paul deserves to be an all star over all of them. My list would probably be 1. Chris Paul 2. Baron Davis 3. Deron Williams 4. Tony Parker. As far as Steven Jackson, I think he is a very important part of the Warriors but I dont think he is an all star. Is everyone forgetting about Steve Nash. He just has a few MVP's and is still pretty damn awesome. I'd probably put Nash (Paul is a very close 2nd and will soon pass Nash), Deron, Parker, Davis (I knock Davis a bit more than most due to his injuries and I will admit when healthy he is a better player than Parker). By the way, welcome to Soxtalk

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 8, 2008 -> 01:38 PM) Good luck is all I can say. Stores tend to get them on Sunday mornings, that's about all that can be said. Around here Blockbuster's sell systems and not many people know about. I was there the other day and they had a few wi's available for sale.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Jan 8, 2008 -> 01:26 PM) We would bring in the Orioles because we want Bedard and we don't have what it takes to get him. It's a three way because the Orioles want Kendrick, but don't have the big bat that the Angels want to get him. Hypothetically, it makes sense. Realistically, well that's another story... I got to be honest, that deal would give the Sox a solid as hell defensive outfield, they would still have a good lineup (not as great, but good), and the rotation would be a s***LOAD better. They would be definite contenders if such a deal went down.

I want to go out and thank all of you. If it wasn't for all the intelligent, enthusiastic as hell posters this site has it wouldn't be anything. I built the forum, the mods/admins do an awesome job maintaining it, but it is each and every one of you that help make it Soxtalk!!!!

QUOTE(Felix @ Jan 6, 2008 -> 06:05 PM) My brother (who I saw it with) enjoyed it as well. I also know other people that liked it. I wasn't looking for much, I just wanted some good zombie entertainment, which is what I got with a kickass soundtrack. As a whole it was better than the first one. I was entertained throughouly throughout the movie. The first movie was possibly the best zombie movie ever until the point where they join up with the f'd up army (after that it went drastically downhill).

God damn it. Another pick. That was a horrendous pick too. I wanted Pitt to get a TD cause I want to see a game tonight. Pretty nice play by Landry I guess.

That is a terrible f***ing call. There is no god damn way that shouldn't be a catch. ABSOLUTELY NONE. Let alone to overturn the initial call which was a catch.

QUOTE(ptatc @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 04:40 PM) KW traded for Richar and I think will stick with him. KW would rather have young pitching than Kendrick. You can probably get a couple of young pitchers if you don't include Kendrick. There is a possibility of the a leadoff/CF guy to come in a deal. But my opinion is that that if PK is dealt it will be for starting pitching at either the minor league or young major league level. He may be satisfied with the rotation (but we also know if KW says that he is probably looking for more) but would love to increase the MLB ready or near ready depth. Actually since this rumor is out there it probably is a smoke screen for something else. KW is more successful under the radar. The fact that there are so many leaks coming out makes me feel like this is BS. I know the Angels have been accused of having some leaks in the past but Kenny rarely has a deal that gets leaked this far in advance and actually happens. I'm thinking they would consider dealing Kenny but I would reckon teams like the Dodgers, Mariners, & Giants are more realistic options.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 04:32 PM) Now, if it's that trade, I have no problem with it. I'm hoping for a minor miracle cause I'd be so exstatic about that type of trade. WIth that sort of deal Kenny will have pretty much completely overhauled the team, making it young, faster, better, and more complete.

That is why Todd Collins isn't an NFL starter and this ends the game. Good lord he had no arm strenght, but i'd also kick the living s*** out of Moss for completely giving up on the play cause that should not have been intercepted, rather a simple incomplete pass. What a lazy piece of s*** play by Moss. God that is f***ing terrible.

60 yard return, pending the penalty. I hope to hell it isn't a block. Oh god that is a terrible f***ing call. The Seattle player turned around when the Was player was in the midst of a block. I don't like that call at all, but I understand it is the correct call per the rule books.

Hasselbach gives the Seahawks the lead. At least this is turning into a game and good god is Leron Landry an athlete. Its too bad Manning hasn't been able to develop cause he at least has great speed at the safety position (unfortunately he can't cover for s*** yet or hit like Landry can). I know one thing, watching the Skins d makes me like the idea of Kenny Phillips (safety out of the U) being an early draft pick.

QUOTE(SoxPride56 @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 03:50 PM) Do you have a link for this? I can not find it anywhere at WSI I pulled the original quote directly from there, so it is on there. Rockabilly is the person who posted it.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 02:25 PM) the guy from WSI was spot on during the last trade the sox made, he broke the news online like 2 hours before anyone else had...i think it was teh cabrera deal, or maybe it was the quentin deal, i cant rememer which it was It was the Quentin deal.
