Shut it down Hicks... a warrior through and through.

Man why can't the Indians be out of our division?

If you're going up tempo, why call a run play?

Rodgers is gonna expose Skrine today if he continues to cover Adams.

Lol it wasn't.

I'd rather have Engel platooning than Leury. But this is coming from someone who isn't a fan of Leury at all (still hope the Sox get rid of him in some capacity).

1. You've been here 11 years. 2. Not even close.

The Hawks have hit rock bottom, but the most damning to me is what Jonathan Toews has become. The guy just doesn't give a shit anymore. He’s selectively trying and this is a guy who was known as “captain serious” and is/was a very talented two way player who got it done through sheer force of will. He isn’t making bad plays in the defensive zone because he’s making bad reads or has had a lapse in judgement. He just isn't skating, he isn't working! A few years back the points weren’t there and he was a fifty-ish point center not worth his cap hit, but his defense and two way play was still great. People argued he was hurt/his diet/his commitment/etc. I thought it was maybe bad luck/injuries. Maybe all those playoff grinds just took a toll on his body and he just wasn't the same anymore (similar to Seabrook and even Keith). Then last year happened. Last night he looked like a guy who was happy enough to have a pair of assists in the bank and that he could coast because of it (in turn was responsible for 2 goals against which he himself admitted in the post game interview afterwards). That’s not the guy that wears a letter for team Canada. That’s not the guy that Sidney Crosby reached out to before the captaincy was announced and asks if it’s alright with him wearing the C. A better/different coach might be able to get Toews to the commitment level that made him one of my favorite players. It’s heart breaking that it’s gotten to that point with him.

I got you.

Bumgarner is looking more and more attractive to me, especially with the spin rate numbers.

Damn!

Considering some of our own prospects were coming out last season and saying they are just getting some analytical data now (some admitted they didn't even have any at the lower levels/had more data in college than the Sox system) I'd say probably not.

Same.

Never said it did. Good ones meaning he is a hell of a guy off the field too.

Honestly, I worry very little of Giolito resigning. He doesn't strike me as a guy who will be money hungry. Kid loves it here and is one of the good ones out there.

He is easily forgettable... at least for me. Probably one of the few here that wants the Sox to move on from him.

I like the first post in that tweet.

lol.

You said most upside which I had to clarify (and I love me some Alex Wood too. Mentioned him before it was cool).

Walker.

Seriously.

The money has been spent!

Angels.

Yep and their farm system is terrible. Not even a prospect they could attach to Price that would even be enticing.
