QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 09:33 AM) He was a rookie this year. He had an OBP of .340 in the second half of this year. It just completely baffles me how people continue to ride this guy. Look, he'll never be an all-star. We get it. But we're also not the Yankees, we can't have 9 all-stars hitting 20 HRs a year for us. Getz looked fine to me in the field and does little things much better than Nix; making contact, hitting behind runners, bunting etc...Getz is a baseball player. He plays the game the right way. He also was 25/27 in SB this year and missed a bunch of time. What that tells me is if he can raise his OBP and stay healthy he could potentially steal 35 bases a year. You put him in the 9 spot in our lineup and I'll take it. I've said it plenty of times but Chris Getz reminds me of the prototypical Minnesota Twin little infielder that doesnt seem to have great tools but just gets the job done and we all wonder how or why. Then we complain we don't have anyone like that blah blah blah. Well now we do. I'd think more people would be happy about that and recognize that what someone does in their rookie year plagued with injuries shouldn't be viewed as their ceiling. Nix supposedly has so much room to grow but somehow Chris Getz has topped out? Sorry, I just don't buy it. Getz is a gamer, I expect him to have a solid 10 year career in this league. Jesus Christ. Somebody f***ing gets it!!!

Wow.. I guess he changed his mind. He already rejected the divisional and championship series. I guess he was waiting for it to be important. Classic Ozzie.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Oct 21, 2009 -> 04:17 PM) Oh, they'll make the playoffs. I don't expect they'll do much in the playoffs, but they'll get there. Pretty much sums it up right here.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 21, 2009 -> 03:46 PM) Keeping healthy won't even get the Bulls into the playoffs. Lets just give you the ol' Stacey King line.. "Your a hateeeeer!!"

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 21, 2009 -> 03:46 PM) Carl will get a kick out of this. No doubt. And yea, injuries have killed Aza's development (ala Quentin a couple years back) but he can actually surprise people. Marlins' fans really liked him.

So long Scott Podsednik!!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 21, 2009 -> 02:02 PM) It's a serious package but it's not one that other teams (i.e. Boston, NY) couldn't beat. Naw they couldn't touch this one with a 10 foot pole.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 01:44 PM) That's just bad luck... I still think it was a better bet playing Rivers than Ryan heading into the weekend. The way the Broncos D has been playing.. I woulda picked Ryan personally.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 06:29 PM) According to Dave Kaplan on todays CTL he is going to the Cubs. Yea.. 800K, largest contract ever given out to a hitting coach, supposedly.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 08:53 PM) That might be the worst call I've ever seen. Wow. What happened? I highly doubt it beats the missed blatant call from the Yanks-Twins series and Joe Mauer's "foul ball" but I'm curious to hear it.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 03:49 PM) All I know is that, if he's still here come Spring Training, Jayson Nix has a hell of a battle ahead of him if he wants to keep his job. Let's let the kid hit in AAA first before we make assumptions, though if he hits like .700 in ST, then yea that might be a different story though usually a rookie competing for a potential contending team (minus Hudson) probably won't have a chance. C.J. will make an outstanding utility man in the future, unless he keeps overachieving his talents, then maybe he can have a Craig Biggio like career.

Outstanding news for Gordo. Thought he was out of luck of any award for ROY. Congrats to him!!

I hope SD pulls this out. I'm tired of Kev sucking the Broncos and Josh McDaniels "genius" cock everyday to me on AIM. Nvm.. Denver will win.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 18, 2009 -> 10:49 PM) On a sidenote, I want more Wolfe. When he's in the offense looks so much better, well at least the running game looks semi-existent. If he is used properly, he could be a really good asset to this team.... if he's used properly. Enough of the run up the middle high percentage of times bulls***.

I love you guys.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Oct 18, 2009 -> 09:23 PM) Here Turner. We bought you a corvette. Can you explain why the cops pulled you over for 10 under the speed limit. I've been here since 2004, and read the boards since 03. I gotta say this is one of the best analogies I've ever seen on this site. I love this post and agree completely. BTW, Forte still isn't over his hamstring issues. Probably why he looks more slower than last year. I hate losing like this, and it stings more on the birthday boy.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 18, 2009 -> 10:34 PM) That was the only critical mistake I saw Pace make that night, and it really wasn't even that bad, you're on the road in a dome and he probably couldn't hear. I saw Pace throw pancakes like 5 times tonight. Yea, Pace was a stud tonight. Unfortunate penalties kinda mulls some excitement from this game and from himself, but he was very good.

God this O-Line is terrible. I know Cutler is happy he's here, but my god can we trade the rest of our picks for Denver's O-Line? Geez... Omiyale is still terrible. I know he's the better "athlete" than Shaffer, but that doesn't mean he's good. Hell Daniel Manning is a phenomenal athlete, but he's terrible at creating/getting turnovers and make some plays that makes you wanna choke him.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 18, 2009 -> 04:55 PM) I would love to see the Patriots keep the starters in the game just to see how ridiculous the score would get. It wouldn't be Bill Belichick if that doesn't happen. BTW, Tom Brady has 6 TD passes, and it's snowing.......

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 18, 2009 -> 04:08 PM) Yeah, but could you go 0-11 against the Sox pitching after doing it? The way I hit a baseball now-a-days... is it even a question?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 18, 2009 -> 03:53 PM) Now guys, your penis's are equally small... The testosterone level is killing my senses. I need to step out for a minute. Hopefully the Bears can win tonight on my B-Day though. I need it after drinking my ass off this weekend and putting up a .29 alcohol level. Take that Miggy Cabrera

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 18, 2009 -> 03:36 PM) Why did the Colts barely beat the bad Jaguars 14-12? Why did the Colts need a last second TD pass to beat a mediocre Miami team? It's the NFL, using margin of victory as a debating point is ridiculous. Agreed.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 18, 2009 -> 03:21 PM) The Bears are going to have a very difficult time winning this division. No doubt. Though I can honestly say, I can see the Vikings losing a game alot earlier than I can see the Saints doing it. But you HAVE to beat the Falcons tonight as another potential WC contender.

Vikings win it. Whether they are the best team or not, they are one of the best in the league.

Either way you look at it, that is just an insane correct prediction by fathom.. as far as the record.
