QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 07:15 PM) What happened? I highly doubt it beats the missed blatant call from the Yanks-Twins series and Joe Mauer's "foul ball" but I'm curious to hear it. It puts that call to shame.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 06:55 PM) BTW Girardi really needs to bench Swisher. 0-3 at getting the runner home with less than 2 outs the last 2 days. Everytime I watch Swisher, I think about all the tools on this site (yes, I said it) that still back his play. The guy is a f***ing loser, cokehead and I'm so glad he's the f*** out of Chicago.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 06:53 PM) That might be the worst call I've ever seen. Wow. I was going ballistic in the stands. I don't grasp how the umps could have f***ed that up. It was so obvious. Easily one of the worse calls I've ever seen. Not even a bang bang call. They give the baserunner some sort of neighborhood call, just two games after the Angels got hosed on that neighborhood call on Aybar. f***ing joke. Not that it mattered, Angels played like piss. And well, CC is f***ing good.

So glad the ANgels game back. Was able to finally get out of work and over to the bar to catch the last few innings. Going to tonight's game and hopefully I get to see an Angels winner and the game that ties the series up at 2. Come on Angels!!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 19, 2009 -> 06:35 PM) Would you do 2/$20 to beat the Angels offer? Probably not. That is a lot of money for a pure DH. Abreu isn't very good defensively anymore and he's definitely going to break down soon. I don't think the Sox are in a position where they should put 10M a year into a player like Bobby.

That is pretty bad. Lopez is a solid player and Lowe is nice too, but you dont' give up an above average young starter for a couple solid pieces.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Oct 19, 2009 -> 04:08 PM) He hasn't produced the way Kansas City hoped he would but the organization itself has done a poor job for the past few years. Some call Johnson a bust but that seems a little excessive considering the defensive line has been terrible since he arrived (besides Jared Allen.) I think a change in scenery would do him good. Would the Chiefs consider an Iglesias for Johnson trade? Iglesias was our 3rd round pick this year and is a WR from OU.

I'm on gamecast since MLB is so f***ign dumb that they have a game in Anaheim that started at 1 something California time. Just f***ing brilliant. Looking bad for the Angels though.

A 3 yr deal would be very foolish.

Shiit...Jepsen blows it. Angels have such a weak pen compared to the Dodgers/Yanks.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 19, 2009 -> 03:23 PM) Gardy? Gardy didn't have even close to the injuries that Scioscia had and Gardenhire had a team that won one of the worse divisions in MLB history. Vladdy!!!

Sciosc better win the manager of the year award.

Wake the f*** up anaheim.

Or call Cleveland up and go after St. Clair and bring him in as our guard.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 19, 2009 -> 10:15 AM) I think the real reason is that you cant just install an O-lineman mid-season and have any success because of all of the assignments and schemes that the lineman needs to learn. You can plug someone in most positions on a football field, but QB and O-lineman are pretty difficult to "plug and play" so to speak. Which is why Beekman is our only option. That or we move Shaffer to the inside.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 10:30 PM) Yankees are the best team by a wide margin. I think the only team that could really hang with them is the Phillies, and even they would have major issues since their bullpen is trash. Wide margin. If it weren't for the Angels playing uncharacteristcaly bad defense, this series might be 2-0 the other way. Bottom line is I can't see how anyone can tell me the Yanks are head and shoulders the best team in baseball. The Twins played them competitively and the Angels have. I make no excuse, Yanks won the game, but the Angels certainly have helped them out the first two games.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 19, 2009 -> 08:57 AM) Waddle and Silvy report that KC Derrick Johnson, KC linebacker is on the block and the Bears are rumored to be hot after him... thoughts? I loved Derrick Johnson when he was coming out in the draft. How has he done for KC? I'd be all for it, but we have like zero picks left. Can he play MLB or is he going to play at the weakside position?

On a sidenote, I want more Wolfe. When he's in the offense looks so much better, well at least the running game looks semi-existent.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Oct 18, 2009 -> 08:37 PM) I'm agreeing. I just said that. But even when he has space, like on screens, he's dancing. On his fumble in the redzone, sure it was his fault, but why call a sweep play on 4th and 9 inches? Lets be honest, when you can't run the ball in from inches away you have all kinds of problems with your run blocking and your rb's. It ain't on Turner.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 18, 2009 -> 08:43 PM) ??? I'd have to check but I think Peyton Manning has more 4th quarter comebacks than any QB in NFL history. However, Cutler has been money in every 4th quarter so far for us, to include Week 1 where the game ended in a INT because prior to Payne and Vasher blowing coverage as usual, he had given us the lead. He also completed like 80% of his 3rd down passes in today's game. And that was despite getting blitzed like crazy. I know he didn't convert as high of a percentage but the guy has been money when the pressure is on.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 18, 2009 -> 08:41 PM) The dancing is about timing, Benson was doing it in '07 when he never had before. This run blocking is probably even worse. Oh btw not to absolve Forte of guilt for fumbling, but yeah that was a brutal call for that sweep on 3rd and goal from the 1 after he just fumbled the first time. And I'm pretty sure I saw Omiyale let his guy through right to Forte, again. Get Omiyale the f*** out of there. We need to see Beekman in there. Omilaye has been brutal.

What Cutler has done so far this year with absolutely no o-line support and no running game is absolutely amazing. The guy has made so many huge throws and taken a beating. I can't wait to see what he does when he has time to throw the ball and has a running game to help him out. Yea he made one bad pick (the other was a good read, bad throw) and s*** happens. Cutler once again did what was needed to help the Bears win the game and than some. The guy is a f***ing stud with ice in his veins, he just couldn't over-come all of the oline f***ups. Real bad loss.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 04:59 PM) You watch McCoy play for USC today? But you guys use your TEs a hell of a lot better than Illinois and that is what matters. Also, I don't know what I would call the Illinois-Indiana game but it sure as hell doesn't look like a D1 football game. Lets be honest, Illini's offense is a complete joke right now. However, even when it was rolling, they didn't utilize there TE's period.

Also, I don't know what I would call the Illinois-Indiana game but it sure as hell doesn't look like a D1 football game. USC has great talent, but I'd say Iowa features there TE more than almost any team in the country and they put them in positions to excel quite a bit. You look over the Ken O'Keefe era as OC and every TE we've had in is typically much more htan just the safety valve, often times they've been the go-to guy in our offense. USC has at times featured there offense much more around there RB's (passing wise) as well as there receivers. This year they've done a great job using there TE's and obviously USC has a hell of a lot more talent than Iowa.
