That's the last time that I trust an Englishman with NFL advice. I started him over Eli.

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Nov 30, 2008 -> 04:29 PM) Looks like Torres could spend some time on a treadmill though. The man's a proverbial el gato gordo.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Nov 30, 2008 -> 02:22 PM) I wish there was a DVD of Mick Foley's ECW promos. I've been on a YouTube binge all morning. Simply put, there has never been anyone better at promos in the history of pro wrestling. Do you have a DVD burner?

True! The person below me has kissed a person of the same sex on the lips - and it wasn't a relative.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Nov 30, 2008 -> 04:22 PM) JP Losman sucks. Is Edwards hurt, or just ineffective?

As a general observation so far, I can't believe that so few people have chosen Miracle on 34th Street.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Nov 30, 2008 -> 10:46 AM) Rivera's a decent pick if Dye gets traded, certainly not a longterm option. IF we're talking a decent one or two year contract then i wouldn't have a huge problem with it. Exactly. He has the athletic ability to be comeback player of the year if he gets a chance to play.

21-0 USC Let the mauling begin.

QUOTE (KevinM @ Nov 29, 2008 -> 08:42 PM) Errors are wholly subjective and meaningless. Also, speed does not equal range. I'm sorry. I forgot my Proverbs 29:9. I'm done here.

Contreras can't pitch yet, can he?

QUOTE (sircaffey @ Nov 29, 2008 -> 08:17 PM) Over the course of an 162 game season, your legs are not going to be 100% a lot of the time even if they aren't "injured." If Willy's legs are even 85% he's absolutely worthless. So when you say speed doesn't slump, that's completely false because Willy will go through periods where his legs are dead. He's not a machine. The man stole 35 in the light air of Denver and was only caught once. It's really hard to breathe and run a mile in the air.

Would you accept an OBP of .331, a BA of .283 and 50 SB? Would you accept a .980 fielding % in center field? Those are his averages in his career. http://www.baseball-reference.com/t/taverwi01.shtml

QUOTE (KevinM @ Nov 29, 2008 -> 06:49 PM) Then just put Jerry Owens out there if that's your requirement. Not the same. Owens has no arm, plays mediocre defense and can't hit for average.

QUOTE (KevinM @ Nov 29, 2008 -> 06:43 PM) Seriously, why do you have to be such a douche about the fact that everyone thinks (read: knows) Taveras is a below average ballplayer? And no, nobody believes SLG and OBP are equal; if they do, they shouldn't be commenting, as anyone with half a brain knows OBP trumps SLG by quite a bit. Problem is, your boy Taveras offers neither OBP nor SLG skills. Also, the "hater" in me will note that the guys posted above are actually good at other facets of the game or are extremely young. Tavares offers speed and defense, plus an arm. He hits for decent average and can steal 30+ bases. SLG is not important, but OBP is. If he can get .315 OBP, he can bat 9th for all I care. If it means that he can take the extra base on a base hit, I'm all for it.

I think that the Sox can sacrifice some slugging in the lineup. Tavares is speedier than any other player on the 40 man sans Owens, plus he plays better defensively than Owens. If he doesn't cost a lot, I say go for it.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 29, 2008 -> 06:08 PM) If there is flooring and they ask me to take my shoes off, I'd think they were a little crazy. I'd do it of course, but would visit as little as possible. Then, they make you wear a pink shirt, drop your pants, and lip-synch to "Old Time Rock and Roll."

drop rapes?

False. My parents had one, though. The person below me hates Christmas music already.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 29, 2008 -> 04:55 PM) a little different, but in Jr High, I had a friend who accidentally shot himself in the foot with a BB Gun. You'll shoot your eye out!

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 29, 2008 -> 02:29 PM) *sniff sniff* I smell a Sex talk poll coming. Fixed.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 29, 2008 -> 11:55 AM) Or at least keep the safety on. QUOTE (rangercal @ Nov 29, 2008 -> 12:17 PM) I understand him carrying a gun. But keep the safety on. At least hire someone to carry the gun for you, i.e. Ray Lewis.

QUOTE (jenks45monster @ Nov 29, 2008 -> 12:46 AM) I really wouldn't mind getting Taveras at all. Only 26 (turns 27 on Christmas Day) OMG, Jesus in CF, God (TCQ) in LF.
