QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 10:17 AM) I just want to know why he plays the "woe is me act" so often. I despise KW. But you're reaching here. He was asked a question and he responded the way pretty much every GM already has or would.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 28, 2012 -> 01:39 PM) ARGH. STOP PRETENDING THEY COULD HAVE BEEN MOVED WITHOUT PAYING $100 MILLION THIS YEAR TO DO SO. Keep your performers. Trade the non-performers. That's how you run a successful baseball operation.

Warriors=pathetic. Ibaka went for 20 points. That's just bad. I like Ibaka a lot. But he can't score the ball for s***.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jan 27, 2012 -> 11:07 PM) Indiana is a very real team. You're right. They're good. I still don't think they're much of a threat come playoff time. But they've surprised.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jan 27, 2012 -> 10:13 AM) Is there evidence that Alex Rios doesn't give a s***? I read that all the time, but don't really see it. At least he shows up in shape. He made some adjustments. I remember a few times that he loafed, but every ball player does that. Hell, fan favorite AJ loafs more than any player in recent memory. There's no doubt that he had an abysmal year, but he was the only member of Team Suck that showed some signs of life last year. I actually think he might have a pretty good season. QUOTE (MAX @ Jan 27, 2012 -> 10:35 PM) No there isn't. People think his facial expressions allow them to read his mind. Their arrogance is approaching idiotic if you ask me, but I'm sick of saying so. Um, what? There's no stat available that measures not giving a f***. If you watched the Sox with any regularity last year, you don't even have to ask for any "evidence." Rios was a f***ing joke last year.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 27, 2012 -> 10:49 PM) He went back to being bad in the second half. He and Stephen Jackson are terrible chuckers sometimes. Wait, Jackson's a terrible chucker all the time. True. But Jennings has been pretty good all year. I wasn't referring to just the first quarter tonight. Can't wait for Sunday. A f***ing real team for the first time in weeks. We'll get to see how good this Bulls team (at this point in time) really is.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jan 27, 2012 -> 09:29 PM) Yep. If the Cards are indeed in the mix, I think it'll be official soon though. It sounds like Texas and St Louis are his preferences. I seriously doubt he'll end up in Texas. He's made it very clear of his desire to stay in the NL at all costs.

I've lost a lot of respect for Oswalt. That p**** wanted no part of the AL.

Will Robin ever age? He's got 16 years on me and he looks younger than I do.

This Bucks team is awful. I don't even know how this game is close. Bulls just need to make a few adjustments and they should win this game by double digits.

What the hell happened to Brandon Jennings? He's, like, good.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jan 27, 2012 -> 05:50 PM) Carlos Boozer is making more money than Kevin Love is going to be. Think about that, for a minute. edit: After a double-check, maybe the figures are actually closer than I initially thought, but even if Boozer and Love are making the same amount, think about the drastic difference in production. Yeah, I see it's $13.5 this year and $15, $15+, $16+ the next three years. Jesus. Imagine Boozer in two years? lol. I've never liked Boozer. Jazz fans couldn't stand him. He routinely went into fetal mode whenever they played the Lakers (main reason they could never get by the Lakers). Credit TT, the system and the overall depth. But please don't tell me Boozer is earning his money.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 27, 2012 -> 05:34 PM) Maybe he was referring to the DeAndre Jordan will be better than any C not named Howard comment as well. Nah. It's pretty much the Knicks. You think it's a coincidence they're mentioned after every loss in this thread? I can't even post in PHT without somebody basically saying "ahahaha, you said the Knicks were going to be good" so anything you say doesn't mean anything.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 27, 2012 -> 05:20 PM) I don't think you really have the clout to judging players talent considering. Another lame Knicks crack. But that's fine. I'll take it. I made a semi-bold claim and I was wrong. And when I feel like making another one, I will. I'm not worried about my ranking among Soxtalk hierarchy. 15 and 8 with lousy defense is nothing to get excited about when you're making $15 million.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 27, 2012 -> 05:04 PM) More the b****ing about Boozer. Boozer's earned his paycheck this year, maybe not all of it, but I certainly don't regret having made the move for him with the offense he's provided. He hasn't "earned" anything. Or if becoming a worse player while still being a lousy defender after signing a fat contract is acceptable, yes, he's earned it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 27, 2012 -> 02:05 PM) Is the sky going to fall after every loss this season? QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 27, 2012 -> 03:09 PM) hasn't it always? Huh? Derrick Rose has made a bigger deal about the loss than any Bulls fan I've seen.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Jan 27, 2012 -> 01:28 PM) Robin Venture for shiz. If he makes it work it'll be like Rodney Dangerfield making the Ladybugs legit contenders. lol. But he cheated. What a great movie. I first saw it when I was 10. I wanted to pound Kimberly right then and there.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 27, 2012 -> 11:56 AM) I think everyone here has spent enough of their time complaining about Carlos Boozer to the point that it's not news anymore. Boozer's not hitting a 3 in that situation, either, so I don't really see how it changes anything. It has nothing to do with the 3-point attempt. It has everything to do with having to remove a $15 million dollar a year guy at the end of a tight game because he's a defensive hack for another guy who should probably be working at Menards. I don't even want to think about what Bosh is gonna do Sunday.

What does a "fifth" OF do? Anyway, that suits those two bums just fine.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jan 26, 2012 -> 06:13 PM) We need to see them produce first. But, isn't that always the case with prospects or replacements in baseball? Um, he kinda insinuated that? Viciedo, Reed and Sale are as major league ready as it gets. It's on them from this point.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 26, 2012 -> 05:58 PM) Since everyone knows this is a retooling/rebuilding year will the posters still go after him.... without a doubt. My vote is for all of the above. This board has enough posters to hate and destroy them all. Of course. But really, how could it get any worse for a guy like Dunn? Dunn got it from everywhere. You didn't have to be a Sox fan. He was a national tragedy (from a sporting sense) in 2011.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 26, 2012 -> 05:52 PM) Wait a minute our awful farm system cannot possbily produce two MLB products to help this year. The sysem is the worst in baseball. It is the worst. There's really no debating that.

KW, easily. Could Dunn or Rios get anymore hate this year than they did last year? Pretty much the same with Peavy. He's done nothing since he's been here. What's another year? Beckham? Expectations are so low for him right now that it's almost expected that he'll be bad. He'll just go down as another bust of a White Sox first round pick. Morel and De Aza? Nope. They're both making peanuts. So if they suck, they'll just be guys that you're not really paying much to suck. Nobody else even worth mentioning,. This is KW's baby. He's put this roster together. Ozzie and Walker are gone. They are of no consequence anymore. If they bomb again, he'll get it much worse than he ever has before.

Meh. I don't have a problem with Rose wanting to keep mental note of teams/players he felt "disrespected" him or his team if that helps to fire him up or whatever. Not sure what the Pacers really did. They got a big road win against a team with the best record in basketball. I would imagine one would be a little more hype after that than by beating anyone of the Wizards, Bobcats, Cavs, Pistons, Raptors or any other putrid eastern conference team. But there's a team come Sunday that Rose needs to worry about. A team that humbled him last year. The one, and only, team standing in the way of a finals appearance this year. Save your fury for them.

Wow, what a touching memorial service for a great man.
