QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Dec 5, 2010 -> 08:35 PM) No idea. Details haven't been released yet. I believe it's 2-3 prospects. Rumors have Brett Lawrie, Jeremy Jeffress, Mark Rogers, and Jake Odorizzi being tossed around as names. If the Jays got Lawrie, then that would be a good trade for them. Really, for both sides.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Dec 5, 2010 -> 08:14 PM) Blue Jays are trading Marcum to the Brewers. I think that deal should be a good comparison for what we can expect to receive for Floyd. Very good trade for the Brew Crew. Marcum is very underrated. If they didn't give up Lawrie, then they are set.

If this season couldn't get any worse with injuries (and poor play) Patrick Kane went awkwardly into the boards and his left leg bent a way a leg should not bend. He couldn't put any weight on it and was helped off the ice... Didn't look too good, hopefully it isn't serious.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Dec 5, 2010 -> 05:50 PM) my commodores are finally starting to play some ball...bennett cutler and moore all looking really good.....im fairly hopeless on chris williams though Actually Chris Williams has not been bad at all since moving over to the LG position. Ironically enough, the Bears might have found him a permanant spot for the future (with Omiyale at LT and Webb at RT as well).

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Dec 5, 2010 -> 02:28 PM) Bailey hasn't had better than a 4.46 ERA in the National League. There is no way he is worth more than a top-5 shortstop in Major League Baseball. Does he have good potential? Yeah, but this isn't the Ace-in-the-making Homer Bailey. He has certainly lost some stuff. He averaged 92.7 on his fastball last year. That is definitely not the Bailey that was throwing 97 in the early part of his career. And he has had some injury issues that are worrisome. If the Reds asked KW for Alexei, I think KW just hangs up the phone instantly. No way.. He'd ask for Jay Bruce.

7 years?! Yikes Washington.

Refs were a joke in that game, and I hardly complain about the refs in a game. Man how good would a guy like Courtney Lee look as a SG for the Bulls.. Been my beef with GarPax since the summer for not really addressing that after the Magic kept Redick.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 3, 2010 -> 12:07 PM) Besides the fact that D.Lee is one whole year older, everything else is in his favor. He's got a higher career ops, much better defender, better athlete and will make much less money on this upcoming contract and once again, this is a real easy decision imo. The fact that Derrek had a bad first half of last season while battling some injuries doesn't change that fact. I thought it was too easy. DLee would be the much smarter decision. Hell our IF defense would be very, very good. I don't think many realize how underrated Lee is with the bat as well. Put up some nice splits with Atlanta after the trade as well (albeit small sample size) so he's far from done.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 3, 2010 -> 02:44 AM) s***, I'd sure like to have Russel Martin for the cheap right now. Nothing against A.J. No kidding. Then again, that is more of the dislike I have for A.J. as a player. (though I don't hate his game. That is only reserved in my heart for Juan Pierre)

I came in here just to see this thread and smile.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Nov 29, 2010 -> 11:30 AM) Boynton collided with Hossa today at practice. Hossa needed help and was taken to the locker room. I hate Boynton... Jesus.. when he isn't turning the puck over, he's still hurting the team. (literally) And Hossa is quickly approaching Carlos Quentin-type status (injury prone) in a Hawks uni.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 29, 2010 -> 02:12 PM) Looking at Kyle Orton's season this year...it's really ironic how his career has completely been turned on its head. Orton was always referred to as a "winner" when he was in Chicago, but nothing else. A QB which could manage the game for you. He would not lose it for you, but he probably wouldn't win it for you either. He threw 30 TD's against 27 INT's in his Bears career. Then he gets traded to Denver, and puts up outstanding individual numbers and flourishes in their system. He is on pace for like 27-30 TDs this year and almost 5,000 yards, against only 7-10 INT's. That is a Pro Bowl season. He's thrown 41 TD's against 18 INT's since being traded to the Broncos. And yet his record as a starter in Chicago was 21-12. His record for the Broncos is 11-15. Crazy. Just goes to show you how important defense and a running game are, as well as how misleading statistics can be. I just looked up his numbers myself and I had no idea he was putting up this kind of incredible year. Matt Cassel is also quietly having an outstanding season.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 28, 2010 -> 07:09 PM) You missed. **And Knight rips his heart out, stomps on it, and dances to the mariachi.**

Sam Bradford has learned very quickly on the fly.

That throw just sums up Michael Vick's entire season. Unbelievable. And who recovers the onside? Of course it's Knox. Whoa he wasn't touched... Haha game. f*** the Eagles.

How the f*** did Celek catch that?

Mike Martz trying to bring the Eagles back in the game.

Terrible coaching game by Andy Reid.

Peppers.. wow. Clutch tackle there.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 28, 2010 -> 05:52 PM) Gotta say, really admire the game Martz has called today. Seems as if he finally "gets it" as far as running the ball and sticking to it. Forte has had himself a couple of nice games because of it. Opens up alot of room for Jay to operate.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 28, 2010 -> 05:46 PM) If there was a "wasted timeout" stat, the Bears would have to be leading by a wide margin. That next to Lovie's wasted challenges.

This is one of the best drives I've witnessed for the Bears in quite some time. Great mixture of run/pass. They didn't score 7, but they didn't turn the ball over in the red zone.

Forte has that burst back. Wow.. at Cutler's I.Q.
