I don't watch hockey much, but that Skille kid is fun to watch. SPEED baby!!

QUOTE(knightni @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 06:58 PM) So, the Pats get a beat-up San Diego team next week, then play either Favre or Eli Manning in the SB two weeks later. Farve is the only QB left that could "shoot it out" sort of speak with Brady whereas E. Manning is more of a "manage the game" type. Farve simply doesn't have enough weapons and is carring a young team (Grant could run well though) Either way I just don't see any team's defense matching well with NE's ridiculous offense.

Looks like I was wrong about the Colts (who played NE very well early in the season despite losing by like 2 or 3 whereas SD was beaten by 4 freaking TDs) Two upsets today. NE is now a sure 19-0. The wrong Manning is going to the championship game.

The more I read about Meyer (RHP, great stuff) Hicks, (CF, 5 tool talent) and Martinez (SS/3B great potential) the more I like.

So Hendry still likes his spects eh. Even with limited ceiling.. Laughable. Seriously Hendry, Tyler Colvin? The draft pick you actually reached on? Dear lord.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 02:46 AM) Id vote for Ron Paul if for no other reason he is against the Patriot Act. But the problem with me is Im a stupid American that wastes my right to vote by not voting. Ditto, but this year I'll actually consider it with of course looking at views, asking family members about certain subjects, etc..

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jan 12, 2008 -> 10:50 PM) I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about. Ha ha ha. Shall I show you a PM to refresh your memory or stand pat Mr. Brokeback?

Next week, the Colts will shock the world. Just remember that and this line. "Greg Pratt doesn't ask the water for permission to gently caress it -- he does it anyway, at the barrel of a penis." Best line I've ever heard.

QUOTE(almagest @ Jan 12, 2008 -> 09:51 PM) Yep. As I've said in other threads, though, I don't think its any of our concern as fans to care what the White Sox payroll is, or how much they "save" by not signing a player. That being said, if the Sox are going to give a pitcher close to 10 mil/year, it'd better not be someone like Kyle Lohse. I don't want to go to the Cell next year and pay close to $100 to see him consistently give up 4+ runs over 5 innings. I'd rather go see players who at least have the chance to have an upside. Fantastic post.

QUOTE(CT_Sox @ Jan 12, 2008 -> 06:09 PM) or he could end up in SF SF and the Angels would make the most sense for Crede especially SF who are known to like the veterans. The thing with them is they don't have much that we want (they will not give us Lincecum or Cain) and I think KW wants more impact/ready guys instead of spects at this time.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jan 12, 2008 -> 07:34 PM) John Paxson has no balls, so I'm sure nothing will happen. The only trade he can make is sending Tyson for nothing and swapping Aldridge for Tyrus. 2 losses. Alright, I'll give him a win on Deng and a break even on Curry... Curry could have been a huge win if he just keeps Aldridge. IMO, Tyson's contract was more of a loss. He wasn't worth the $$ he got so moving him alone is a win. I still can't believe that people think Tyson's numbers now were gonna be the ones he would have put up for the Bulls. He just couldn't do it. Not to mention he's now playing for the best young PG in the game (arguably the best PG in the nba not named Nash/Kidd) who makes his teammates better. (Tyson wasn't gonna do a damn thing with Hinrich running the point) The Tyrus pick I loved just cause of his potential, but in some instances, I hated it cause we need lost post help (Tyrus might be miles ahead of LaMarcus in potential, but LaMarcus would have helped us with the little things we needed and would have been a solid player and a better piece to the puzzle than Tyrus) Hell, we might still lose Deng (just take the damn contract mr. injury prone Luol)

IMO, This tells me that a. The Tyrus pick was basically a mistake/trade bait, b. Wallace signing was a bust/didn't go to plan. I'm one of Tyrus biggest fans (damn shame that the horrid Hinrich stays but there isn't anyone out there who you can say is an impact PG thats avaliable) but if you get a T-Mac, (despite his legs being 33-35yrs.+) see ya. But I'm hoping it's just Wallace/2nd rounder or Wallace + rounder + Gordon (who makes the most sense to go) We'll see if this is true.

Andy Gonzalez. Congradulations. Action Jackson and Borchard as well.

QUOTE(BureauEmployee171 @ Jan 12, 2008 -> 06:29 PM) Heh, if only you knew "why" Rolen didn't like LaRussa. I'm too afraid to state it publicly, though. I may never work in MLB again. And no, it is nothing "obscene" or anything like that - it has to do with another player on the team. Very interesting. How about you PM it to me?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 11, 2008 -> 11:02 PM) Except the 10 times a game where they come back late from break and we miss the first pitch or 2 of the inning. I did say "not much"

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 11, 2008 -> 10:47 PM) I read that the Mets were about to sign him but backed out after looking at medical records. Yikes. Kinda reminds me of our trade for Otsuka for Chris Carter, but us killing the deal cause of his medical report (luckally we turned it into Quentin) I'm not sure KW would do it unless he feels Colon's medical records are worth gambling on.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jan 11, 2008 -> 10:44 PM) when it comes to this stuff, yes... but my brain is ultra fast when it comes to football (and math) You sure???........ and fixed. But as far as WCIU finally though. I'm in the minority who loves WCIU because I live in the area, it comes out the most clear on screen, and theres not much screwups you see (CSN, ESPN) on the network. But all in all... good.

Most people are going to be hearing of four players in the NBA "the most and as far as their positions and consistant game changer" for years. PG-Chris Paul (D-Will a close second) C-Dwight Howard (jury still out on Oden) SG/SF-Lebron James (Wade is there, but injuries are a b****) SF/PF-Kevin Durant (future is damn bright) Game changers. Well... they stick out the most in my mind.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jan 11, 2008 -> 10:40 PM) I'm a bit slow... I knew it!!!!!!

Donated blood once a year. (will try to do better) Donated sperm five days a week..... to the toilet.... (again, will try to do better) Most of you old crusty men here should try to donate the hair that falls out. Once you reach 40, it's the beginning of the end anyways.

On paper, the sox will be automatic 3rd place favorites if the Twins do indeed trade Santana. (or barring what we do something else) Maybe that should be another BearSox prediction since the Twins would be, basically, in rebuild mode (with Liriano comming off surgery and a nice farm) and will be playing alot of kids and have a ton of ?? in the rotation. IF they trade Johan.

QUOTE(bschmaranz @ Jan 10, 2008 -> 11:43 PM) I couldn't begin to imagine what Santana would be capable of in the NL. It's f***ing scary just to think about. Hopefully the Mets do get him. I love seeing him pitch, but never against us again. Let that be the NL's problem. IMO, the Mets will be instant favorites to go very, very far. I'll say this, more than likely the Twins will have two studs (Guerra, Martinez) that will be damn good in the future and I like Gomez alot (he just needs experience.) Hopefully the Mets get this done one way or another.

I respect him in 93', but I completely forgot how horrible (offensively esp.) Officer Karkovice was. Good lord.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jan 9, 2008 -> 10:50 PM) It's supposed to be pretty deep defensively from what I know. There you go. Draft a stud that has enormous potential to be a #1 defenseman and BAM.... herpes.

Whoever that can be able to watch the game tonight, can you keep some of us posted on whats going on/who won, etc..? I would greatly appreciate it.
