KC's defense is good, but it is overrated. I think I read a stat they they've faced the most backup QBs in the league. Hell, even Peyton has a bum ankle.

Wind up starting Cruz and Bell and benched Decker. Also subbed out Jordan Reed for Julius Thomas last minute (literally 11:59 A.M.) Looks like I've made wise decisions on both of those. (he's got Gronk and the Pats kicker going tomorrow) I'm up by 50+ so 9-2 should be in my sights.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 17, 2013 -> 08:20 PM) Seeing Versteeg in 23 just looks so weird. Yea he doesn't look right with it. Rozsival really should give him back his number. Good game for Steeger though.

One of my favorite white sox catchers ever. Ben Davis. (don't judge me)

Damn this decision is killing me. Victor Cruz or Le'Veon Bell as a flex? (non PPR) I already got A. Johnson and Decker as my 1-2 WRs.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 15, 2013 -> 05:30 AM) Versteegiak! Prepare for some highlight reel goal scoring attempts and not much else. Good deal though. Morin back to Rockford. More like prepare for dangles over the blue line then turning the puck over. But he'll definitely help the PK adds sick depth. Good offensive skills too. Yea... that'll work. Welcome back Verbeauty!

With Abreu Signing; Konerko Not Out
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 13, 2013 -> 09:54 AM) The problem is that was in 113 PAs. Even if he's completely healthy, he wouldn't face that much more LHP next year. I just can't argue that's worth a roster spot given that he won't help out in any other capacity. Not that I'm arguing pro or con for bringing him back right now, but the whole "problem is that was in 113 PAs" is a weak argument. Paulie has always mashed lefties his whole career. That's not going to change no matter how old he is. Hell, 42 year old Jason Giambi can still "somewhat" hit righties.. he sucks now, but he sucks alittle less facing them.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 12, 2013 -> 04:44 PM) I hope Reinsdorf is behind this move because it would make me question Rick Hahn's judgment. Without a doubt this has JR's move. He adores PK like a son.

In the spring he was in Seattle, then traded to the Raiders, then cut and picked up by Buffalo, then cut and now picked up by Green Bay.

Can't imagine if you add another 10/20/30 years into the equation with better well.. everything (medicines, weight/workouts, overall technology etc.)

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 10, 2013 -> 10:33 PM) Maybe it's time to lower your standards. Shaq's and Hakeem's don't grow on trees. Just like when Dirk, LeBron and Durant are done, we won't see their likes for a while (well, we won't see a LeBron ever again). We'll see a Magic 2.0 again (when were probably the age of YASNY/Tex/BigEdWalsh), just maybe not one built the size of a tank as well though.

Had an easy win. Brees, Shady, Bell, Reed, Zona defense (who I picked up cause NE D is on a bye week) did their thing. 8-2 on the year now (I'm sure I'm one of the rare ones in this thread whose team is doing well.. ), and pretty much have a playoff spot locked up.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 7, 2013 -> 07:52 AM) Knowing how Rocky & McDonough run things, those two drunk jokers won't be stepping foot in another Hawks game anytime soon. I find it funny with Rocky considering just a couple of weeks ago he was talking about better fan behavior because of the bump up in ticket prices. (although still might be legit, but this didn't help his matters) This still doesn't remotely compare with what people used to do at the old Chicago Stadium from stories I've heard.

The woman pouring the beer over the player's head though... classless and stupid. Oh and hey Q, you stopped dicking around with Brandon Pirri and he produces. Now do the same with Jeremy Morin please.

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Boston Red Sox
Cards for sure. They are like the White Sox first cousin. Both hate the Cubs, so I can tolerate them pulling it off (plus it just pisses the Cubs fans off even more). Boston and their fans might be the second worst I despise. (after Detroit of course)

Breakout candidates for 2014
Obviously I've been the captain on the Ortiz train for quite some time now (still believe he's definitely top 25 in this system). Love everything about his make-up, just needs to be more aggressive and believe in his stuff more. I won't say names like Danish, Mitchell, Engel, Beck etc. since they're more known (as well as Jaye) on top 25 lists, so I'll thrown an unknown reliever who might get Santos Rodriguez-like consideration for the top 25 list. (before next year's June draft of course which probably bumps alot of people off, although still maybe sneaks in..) Andre Wheeler. Brad Goldberg was getting more the headlines as the season was winding down, but IMO, Wheeler is the better prospect. He got a mechanical tweak in Bristol, and he was just dominant (especially with his control which was the biggest knock on him.. sounds familiar) after turning pro. I can see him shooting up the minors next year, with AA being his biggest test. Being a LHP also doesn't hurt his chances in the future. Another guy who is unknown, but a bit more polished hitter right now than the big signings overseas (Otano, Cruz, etc.) from the DSL is Antonio Rodriguez. Sox are very high on this kid, and he did finish out the year very strong for DSL. Obviously still a ways away, but he could sneak in if he hits Bristol (which he got a taste of last year) and plays solid. Just exceptional tools he possesses which alone makes him intriguing to follow. I might one of the rare ones actually playing attention to the DSL guys though, so it's probably more of a stretch. Just trying to fit the criteria of this thread.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 09:28 AM) Andre runs so many short routes that I think Keenum is just going to lock in on him. I wouldn't bench him man. Good thing I didn't listen to you. Bell and Lacy (especially) were great. McCoy was surprisingly my only weak link. He has AP going tomorrow and I have Victor Cruz leading by 42 points. I think it's safe to say barring a Doug Martin against Oakland-like game, I should be 5-2. (as well as beating two guys who were unbeaten in back to back weeks )

NBA Thread 2013-2014
QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 10:38 AM) And those quotes were before Garnett got traded. Everyone knew he was loyal. If you can't accept that, I don't know what to say. I've provided articles showing he didn't want to leave Minny, quotes showing he didn't even want to go to Boston, but at this point, there's nothing else I could do. Absolutely. Garnett is alot of things (I or anyone else, especially people who've been around him can say alot of things about him....) but one thing I will say is the man was definitely loyal to Minny.

I just don't trust him to find the end zone bro, or pick up alot of yards. I'm more worried about benching Trent Richardson to be honest. Even though Baltimore's D against the run is really good, I'm hoping Bell gets goal line touches if Big Ben can move the chains enough.
