Iowa vs Ill is a much better game.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Oct 19, 2008 -> 11:41 PM) Does Garza remind anyone of Freddy Garcia. He even looks like a younger version of him. Absolutely, even his stuff is similar to an in his prime Garcia and they have very similar deliveries and facial features. I was actually thinking that to myself while I watched him pitch yesterday.

Awesome...Price should be there closer for the remainder of the playoffs. He has ridiculous stuff and its odd to say how the Rays are only going to be better next year (Garza/Price/Upton (healthy)/Longoria). Now win the series TB...win the series!!

Just wanted to say Congrats Steve!!!!

Benard can be so effective late in his career because he's one of the best fundemental boxers of all time. His fights tend to be boring but to his credit he always seems to win.

Orton is really developing into a franchise QB. I'm really really liking him. I've ripped him more than most on this site but its great to see him kick so much butt and all while he has pretty limited weapons.

QUOTE (beck72 @ Oct 19, 2008 -> 05:49 AM) Vazquez has a ton of value. Teams know they can get 30 starts, 200 + innings and K's, and a 4.25 ERA in the AL from him. While he's not a big game pitcher, he can help a team get the playoffs with his ability to eat innings and keep a team in the game. If Javy could net the sox a SP who could be in the 2009 rotation plus another solid contributor in the bullpen or a young position player, I could see him being moved. But it would have to be a good return. Agreed, you'd have to be getting an A type of prospect plus at least a B prospect as well (if not two B prospects) in return for Javy. That is if you were dealing him for a prospect. Ideally, one of those prospects would be a CF prospect with speed and one to two pitching prospects.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 19, 2008 -> 11:28 AM) Babich is a f***ing pathetic coach. Marty Booker is having a very special game though. You referring to two dropped TD passes and one nice TD reception.

Ya, there is no way I'd put up with that.

I'd be more willing to give him a big contract if he didn't get completely used and abused down the stretch in Milwaulkee. CC is a legit ace though and I'd love having him on the Sox.

I think the Sox will use Richard in the pen, with the plan of stretching him out and using him as the 5th if anyone struggles or gets injured. Contreras will not be counted upon for anything and the club will likely look to trade for another young arm (potentially in a Javy deal). However, Kenny can't panic and move Javy just for the sake of moving him. He still has value and if you dont' get a pretty good offer, you don't trade him.

I'll still back the Rays.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 18, 2008 -> 06:50 PM) Also, impressive win for Ohio State. Michigan State is STILL a joke in big games, and Ohio State is still going to lose to Penn State next week in Columbus, but the Buckeyes deserve credit for their performance today. All comments aside though, OSU is a different team with Pryor. THe problem is USC should win out so OSU will never have a shot at the National Championship game (since I can't see one of OU/Texas/Bama not being in the national championship game).

Michigan State is over-rated. Decent QB play by Iowa and they probably beat MSU. Of course Iowa is a few turnovers away from being undefeated with all of there losses being close games to quality opponents (MSU, NU, Pitt).

QUOTE (zenryan @ Oct 18, 2008 -> 05:59 PM) looks like Missouri was a fraud. they better find a defense if they ever want to be a serious national contender. I think it has more to do with just how good Texas and OU are. Those are the two best teams in the country right now, imo. McCoy is just playing out of his mind.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Oct 18, 2008 -> 12:12 PM) Yeah that's why I have a hard time believing Peavy will go anywhere for a couple of years. The Padres would be foolish to trade him, IMO, a young guy who is an Ace, signed to a great contract. Why would you take that away? Prospects are prospects, here you have an ACE at only 27 years old. You should be building around him not trying to trade him. I think it has more to do with the team being so far away from being competitive. They have a poor farm system and are really just in a mess. Moving Peavy is probably the quickest way to help the rebuilding process and I wouldn't be shocked to see Adrian Gonzalez moved as well (even though he is a young player as well).

Hawkeyes have had some tough losses this year but they seem to be getting there s*** together. Shonne Greene is a freaking beast and I assume he'll be back next year (as opposed to entering the draft). Nice to see Wiscy getting drubbed at the hand of Iowa.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Oct 17, 2008 -> 10:09 PM) You sir are a genius. Finally Marky...10,000 POSTS!!!

Peavy should command a whole hell of a lot. He's in his prime and signed to a well below market value contract. San Diego papers are saying it'll take 4 upper echelon major league ready type of prospects.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Oct 17, 2008 -> 10:49 AM) I don't know about that. I am leaning towards saying he won't. But, I can't guarantee that. I bet you would have said arod won't get 252 M over 10 ( as would I ) . There are worse ways to spend 30 million . (count,Javy and Jim quickly comes to mind) I wouldn't have guessed that much money for Arod, but that was also a different market.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Oct 17, 2008 -> 11:12 AM) The receiving corp is not a problem this year. I would rank Oline, secondary and Tommie Harris ahead in the Bears Problems. Tommie Harris shouldn't even see the field. He's f***ing terrible and was over-rated all of last year. If he's heatlhy fine, but he clearly isn't and I question whether he ever will be again. Go with Harrison/Dvoraceck.
