QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 14, 2011 -> 06:02 PM) Oh I have but that's oop is really not that difficult. Maya Moore could make that pass. There's one thing to make that pass, and there's one thing to have good court awareness to make a pass like that. Alot of PGs in the NBA would either throw a bullet pass down low in the key in that situation, or look at said player. (and a defender might get back in the play) Rondo has always been one of the top PGs in the game as far as his passing (his I.Q., wingspan, awareness etc. is just utter worldly). But for a guy like him, I would have been more impressed if he was making consistent jump shots (or.. pretty much going Kevin Durant on an AND1 team).

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Oct 12, 2011 -> 02:50 PM) I'd love Gary Sanchez and/or Slade. Not sure why some people are enamored with Romine though. He's a pretty underwhelming prospect. He is one of the most overrated prospects in the minors currently, IMO. Was never a fan of his.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 12, 2011 -> 03:10 PM) I usually have a beer or two before my kickball game even starts. Ha.. I had one during a race for a playoff spot in high school baseball to get over a hangover from the other night.. of course my coach told me I was playing CF that day! (though I did make one great diving catch at the first ball hit to me.. after that though any ball hit to me was like a cartoon show) and we had to face one of Mt. Carmel's best pitchers at the time... yikes.

QUOTE (supernuke @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 12:17 AM) A win would have been nice. Here's hoping they play better on Thursday. Here's not, since you guys play us at the UC. (Ladd and Byfuglien's first game back to the UC since they were traded)

Hitting coach looks like it's between Jeff Manto and Tim Laker from that same blog above.

Winnipeg certainly was rockin last night. Great game to watch, before the Habs eventually put the stomping on.

Absolutely, but the sox would never do it. (though I still love what KW did in asking for Paul Goldschmidt anyways at the waiver wire, especially since the D-Backs have wanted Konerko for years until his emergence)

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 10, 2011 -> 11:10 AM) That's why I threw in the "essentially". Its all good. Well it was, until I saw a pic of you in high socks. Maybe that shouldn't be in green...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 10, 2011 -> 11:04 AM) Yeah, $17 million for 2012 season, plus the $4 million buyout to follow=$21 million. Ah, gotcha. The "in 2012" kinda threw me off there, but I guess the off-season is in 2012 as well.

Happy B-day to Wanne and to one of the most underrated graphic design posters on this site in blacksox. (sorry.. always will remember you with that name.. and the sweet sigs from back in the day)

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 10, 2011 -> 09:13 AM) Nevermind, I should have kept scrolling. ESPNStatsInfo ESPN Stats & Info Tom Brady intercepted by Antonio Cromartie in the endzone to end 1st half...it was Brady's 1st ever Red Zone INT thrown at home (Has 91 TD) That is insane. And it wasn't his fault at all. (his WR dropped the pass/went off his finger tips which popped the ball in the air right to Cromartie)

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 10, 2011 -> 09:03 AM) Stop right there. NO ONE is going to take on Jake Peavy for essentially $21million in 2012. Just forget about it. I believe he's making 17 million. He's making 22 million in 2013. (though has a 4 million buyout, which will surely be used regardless of team)

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Oct 9, 2011 -> 12:12 PM) Thoughts? They'll regret it.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Oct 9, 2011 -> 06:51 PM) Brewers, I really dislike the other 3 teams. This. Though I'll say Detroit is the only team I really dislike. The other two teams I just don't particularly care for.

Going to bed, keep the updates comming for the later read when I get the popcorn ready.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 10:21 AM) Care to defend yourself Marty? :lolhitting

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 09:54 AM) Exactly what they were looking for. And if they rebuild with him (besides the obvious albatross, though Peavy is gone after next season luckily), it's exactly what I'm looking for as well.

QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 07:07 AM) LTS? Long Term Supplemental.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 01:29 AM) Winner of that Brewers-Dbacks series will be the only team in either LCS that I remotely like(really like the Brewers, can deal with AZ), I can't stand Detroit or Texas and I'm basically bored with Philly and St. Louis at this point. Agreed 100% (but I hate Detroit a bit more so I hope they lose, but I won't really care if Texas loses either)

As a Ford worker currently/local, I'm not going to comment on this at all until our contracts are finalized. With that said.. there is alot of B.S. internally (especially with Ford once again with their "promises" which many of the LTS heard back in 07 [luckily I was hired on much later] being thrown around again, especially with more jobs) and alot of split on this from the workers (pros and cons) and I will leave it at that.

After thinking it over some (and doing some research on Robin..) I love this move. Ridiculously underrated as a leader.

Ha. I thought my co-workers were kidding about this the whole time. Just found out now. Really weird to see, but Robin was a favorite of mine growing up so I think it's awesome. Now, from a baseball perspective I don't know, but I'll reserve judgment. I hope we find a way to deal these expensive fools and rebuild fully (hell even 1-2 gone would be nice) but definitely won't hold my breath.

What a surprise.. injury prone Dave Bolland questionable for the first game of the season (and possibly Saturday) according to Q. Oh, and Barry Melrose picks the Hawks to win the cup this year. (he was the one who picked us to win it in 09-10)

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 05:34 PM) Where do you get that from? By all accounts when people in his life have been interviewed they've said he's a really good down to earth guy. I met him a few weeks ago at a bar and he was as nice as can be. daa84 is a Vandy guy with quite a few friends who went to school with Cutler. If anyone would know a thing or two about college players from Vandy it would be him. Hell he was the guy who knew about Pedro Alvarez before he put himself on the prospect map 3+ years ago.
