16 of the last 23 seasons they've been over .500. Of the seven under .500, 4 of them have been within 2 games of .500. Picky, picky.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 10, 2013 -> 09:13 AM) ESPN is unwatchable. If you crave NFL coverage, there's a channel for that. If you crave NBA coverage, there's a channel for that. If you crave MLB coverage, there's a channel for that. If you crave NHL coverage, there's a channel for that. ESPN is getting worse by the day. (EDIT: save NBA Countdown - best show on that channel that thankfully leads into actual basketball games) I enjoy NFL Live, Mike & Mike, and SVP. Occasionally, I'll watch SportsCenter.

He won't. Maddux and Glavine will get in first. He'll get inducted in 2015.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 04:22 PM) Sure it is. The Sox problem is a fickel fan base, not talent evaluation. https://www.google.com/search?q=fickle&...lient=firefox-a

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 10, 2013 -> 07:36 AM) Someone who has a much better clue on how to game-plan and call plays. Get real, dude. You have no idea what you are talking about. You remind me of Bears fans who hate Cutler and miss Grossman.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 04:11 PM) 123 OPS+ for Raines, 107 for Lofton. The difference in relative offensive levels for the generations is important. It is also what makes comparisons tough from different eras. Walks and a little more power is all it is. Lofton out performed Raines in their first 17 years in everything else. Raines did play longer though (23 years).

5 hour energy may be the next PED.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 08:40 PM) Last nights matchup was just 85 million viewers shy of the Super Bowl's ratings. 30+ mil on cable is incredible. That's like 150 mil on network TV.

Maybe he can offer a 1 year deal to Michael Bourn. Carlos Pena did that with the Cubs.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 02:52 PM) My opinion on this has always been "cheating" between the lines is "ok", cheating outside the lines is not. The players can police the game themselves when its done between the lines (HBP, hard slides, etc.) but how do players stop others from using steroids? Steroids are cheating within the lines. You only need them for work done on the field.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 04:44 PM) What happens when you combine every character to play Batman in film (Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, and Christian Bale) into one face? Perfection! That is the perfect man.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 01:06 PM) Unfortunately, it is off the grid, which requires solar power, propane tanks, and backup generators, which is a bit of a hard sell for most people. Land is still affordable there, and I would love to put a prefab on about 5 acres, but I can't convince anyone to live out there with me. "Sign me up."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead-ball_era Massive ballparks combined with a crappy baseball made for more line drives, more extra base hits, and less home runs.

QUOTE (Joxer_Daly @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 02:43 PM) That's a mad coincidence. I was just saying to my missus there earlier, when we were having our dinner, that I felt our back garden lacked a "certain something". Good place for a Florida Winter Holiday home. #mindthejets

Do you think that they'd go for this?

Welcome to last week.

Disney is stupid for having tonight's game on ESPN instead of ABC. The ratings will be a shadow of what they could have been. It could have rivaled a Super Bowl.

Heard 12-14 months recovery time.

I'm too tense to predict anything. I hope that ND can compete, I really hope that they can win. But I have no idea what's going to happen. Everett Golson is the key to this game.

Why do the Bills always want ex-Chicago football coaches? Levy - Chicago Blitz Jauron - Bears Smith - Bears

QUOTE (Arno @ Jan 4, 2013 -> 02:30 PM) Been White Sox fan for 57 years. Most disgusting non deal Soxhave made.AJ was great handler of pitching staff and a good team player. Makes me want to quit being Sox fan. Why keep some of the worthless pitchers that cost them games last year and let AJ walk is beyond my comprehension. People get old. Baseball is a young man's game. Fisk had to go in 1993 whether he liked it or not. Thomas left after 2005 whether he liked it or not. It happens; baseball moves on.

Signs is summed up in one scene. Morose mashed potato eating.
