TCQ.

I started here as J.Reedfan8 when Jeremy Reed signed a ball for me when I went to a Barons game a few years back (cousins live in Alabama) and when I was getting into prospects. Then he got traded with Olivo/Morse for Freddy and I had to think of something quick to change it to. (though Row and Willie told me to keep the name to preserve, but didn't want to) 4 gin shots later, I came up with the "clever" name of this one.

Dunn.

The Knight hitters unfortunately ran into a stud by the name of Julio Teheran. And Remenowsky is gonna be one of those guys who will move quickly this year, kind of like how Bellamy was projected to be.

Scored two goals in 2 games with a f***ed up wrist.. crazy and it's a big loss for the Hawks and he was injured before that it seems. In fact, a poster here called it and knows friends of Bickell if I can recall. Yup here it is. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...987&st=1380 Props to SoxFanForever on announcing this a few days ago.

Beckham.

Rios.

Unbelievable this team. Ben Smith is a friggin stud too.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 08:12 PM) Did we really forget Jason's birthday? Hahaha. Cheers Jason. I find it very hilarious also. Happy belated Jas.

The rat is having an amazing series. And it could have been 5-2 Hawks if Lou was in net.

QUOTE (G&T @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 07:18 PM) Campoli turnover 2-1 nucks. That's 2 turnovers (Hammer's was the 1st) that led to goals. And why Scott is dressed over Kruger boggles my mind.

Bolland... wow.

I'd trade Pierre, Ohman and Pena for each of my minor league buddies/prospects in other systems. (some suck, some don't) I'll trade A.J. for Jose Lima's wife for a year. I'll trade for Gio, Fowler, McCutchen and Kershaw and sell my sister, female cousins, girlfriend and mother.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 06:32 PM) Its not ballsy, it is full pledged panic mode. Sad thing is, I can actually see him having a good game. Better than what Lou would have done.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 06:11 PM) Yeah, he really sucked last year when we won the cup too. P.S. Breaking news right now on VS....Looks like they might go with Schneider instead of Luongo... What a ballsy call there. And honestly, he is better than Luongo, at least the games I've seen. Not good. And Scott is in (as a forward.. ), Kruger out.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 11:32 AM) It's so hard for me to excited about Sox prospect anymore, let alone two guys who are 22 and 23 are Low-A. Blanke, I will give him some slack since he is a catcher and was a 2010 draftee, but I need to see their talents against better competition before I get excited. Nice work thus far though. Rather have this, obviously, than performing bad in Low-A. I love Blanke and to me is the best catching prospect in the system, and I'm biased toward Black because I knew him a bit in Purdue and want him to succeed badly here.

To guys like Felix and J4L, it is pointless to discuss pure basketball intellect about a player on a team in that city's message board. While I agree/disagree with what has been posted, it's just not going to go in favor here. Like I said before, it pisses me off how much Chicago people overrate Rose just as much as it pisses me off how much non Chicago fans underrate him. We can all agree that Derrick Rose is damn good, and will only get better. You can also throw away any post which says he's god when he's going to win MVP and not even be the best player in the league. (though how people are arguing he is over LeBron just proves the overrated point) BUT, he is definitely the most valuable on his team.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 02:38 PM) I think giving a rookie off for a mental break makes a lot of sense. I don't, but I digress.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 08:31 AM) He's currently striking out at a rate that would put him at around 135 K's on the year...which is better than D2, but not by a whole lot. Hey I'm not arguing his K numbers, BABIP, low walk rate, etc. It's baby steps as far as I'm concerned. I didn't think he should be at W-S (still don't and hope he proves me wrong) and was gonna be over-matched.

King Kong.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 04:32 AM) It may not be Chris Hansen, but there is definitely a police officer right behind him... :notworthy

QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 11:45 PM) 2-5, 3B, 2 K for Mitchell. Quietly has a 5 game hitting streak...

QUOTE (Nokona @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 02:09 AM) I happened to miss what made Bolly get the game misconduct. What caused him to get so angry? Didn't see the game, but judging by the highlights, Torres hit him in the head when he was by the boards. He just came back from a concussion so you know he was pissed. I honestly think that no suspension changed this whole series around (well.. that and Bolland returning). It's not over yet, but the Hawks are playing with an edge to their game.

God I'm depressed on picking these players.. C'mon Rios. (I don't think he'll play) Paulie.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 20, 2011 -> 02:22 PM) Val looks really good actually. He's bigger than he was when he was in his mid 20s, which goes without saying, but he has been on a pretty strict diet recently and has been working out and looked really good. And I had fully planned on at least dropping the Huckleberry line, but had I done that I think I probably would have been sent away. I did tell Will that my favorite character of his was Pall Willeaux. My god what happened to you Blake? (though you weren't much to look at in your younger days, but you were at least "decent looking" in a hetero way)
