QUOTE(qwerty @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 06:21 PM) Should knight even be on this list? He has always been a good passer and not much else. I would have to go with simmons also and a close second would be murphy for me. Huges has also improved a good amount. He now has one of the better all around games in the nba. But last year he had a pretty good year too for what talent he had around him. Brevin Knight....I hadn't really thought about him since the late 90s. He was completely off my basketball radar. This year, only Steve Nash averages more assists per game. Knight's Game Log He had 34 assists in back-to-back games against Detroit in late November. I guess that you can make more of a case for Comeback Player as opposed to Most Improved Player, since he did average over 7 assists per game from 1997-1999. Career Stats

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 05:24 PM) In all seriousness, so far I would add Eddy to that list. He has played tons harder than last year, and it shows. The thing that bugs me about Eddy is his average of 6.5 rebounds per game. He has only had 5 games all season with 10 or more rebounds. These shooting guards also have a 6.5 average: Kobe Bryant, Quentin Richardson, Tracy McGrady, Paul Pierce, and Jason Richardson.

Nazr Mohammed Second in the NBA in offensive rebounding, 53.5% shooting percentage Rafer Alston 13.5 points, 7 assists, and 1.5 steals per game Brevin Knight 9.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game Troy Murphy 17 points and 11 rebounds per game Larry Hughes 21 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals per game Quentin Richardson 16 points and an insane 6.5 rebounds per game from an SG Luke Ridnour 6.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, 95% free throw shooter Udonis Haslem 9 rebounds per game, 52.5% shooting percentage Jeff Foster 12.5 rebounds per game, 56% shooting percentage Bobby Simmons 16 points, 6 rebounds, 1.5 steals per game, 49% shooting percentage

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 06:55 AM) I realize that...but i also realize that 55 points is an assload, and the quickest way to get points is via the three pointer. Zero three pointers while still scoring 55 is really surprising to me, maybe not to others. Well, I think that the key ingredient for asinine point totals is the free throw. That's really how dudes pad their scoring stats. Jermaine hit 17 out of 21. Amare Stoudemire's 50 point game on Sunday was almost as crazy. He made 20 field goal attempts (to Jermaine's 19), but he only hit 10 out of 17 free throws.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 5, 2005 -> 06:49 PM) No kidding! I could see 4 or 5 going. Really? Who, specifically? The only guys that are worthy in my mind are McGwire, Ripken, and Gwynn.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 5, 2005 -> 09:28 AM) I'm glad to see Ryne get in. All anti-Cub BS aside, he was a very good ballplayer in all facets of the game and a consummate professional. And as a personal note, I have the complete 1983 Topps set which has rookie cards for both of today's inductees. Tony Gwynn should make it from that set too, when he becomes eligible. I have the Gwynn, Sandberg, and Boggs rookies from that set. Awesome set. My personal favorite is the 1985 set with the McGwire, Puckett, and Clemens rookies. I just love the way that those cards look.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 5, 2005 -> 06:17 PM) Photoshop is pricey, ($500+) but the best and easiest to use. Almost any picture editing software will allow you do make a decent project. Holy s***, never mind.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 5, 2005 -> 03:25 AM) OMG How do y'all do this photoshop stuff? Is there some type of program that you can download? Because I wanna do something with "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly", but I dunno how.

For those who are unaware, there was no organized draft back then, and of course, when you're an impressionable teenager, you're going where Babe Ruth and Joe Dimaggio played, are you not? If there was ever a team that should be retracted.....

Fascinating stuff. 2006 Candidates: Bruce Sutter Jim Rice Goose Gossage Andre Dawson Bert Blyleven Lee Smith Jack Morris Tommy John Orel Hershiser I gotta go with Blyleven, because Hawk Harrelson has told me time and time again to do so. 22 Years 4970 IP 3.31 ERA 287 Wins 3701 K's 242 CG That ain't too shabby. You can find some negative things about Bert, but you're not gonna read about them here, because I'm a spinmaster. And Andre Dawson... 438 HR 503 2B 98 3B That adds up to 1,039 Extra-Base Hits, and we're talking about a guy who peaked during the 80s. If it were up to me, he'd be in there. His 314 stolen bases are also very impressive. I think that Bruce Sutter might get the shaft because the longevity is just not there. Bruuuuce He had some damn good years, but I dunno if he's Hall Of Fame worthy. Jim Rice stats: 382 HR 373 2B 1451 RBI .298 AVG .352 OBP .502 SLUG That's a kick-ass career during an era when offensive numbers were hard to come by, but in the end, those numbers just ain't sexy enough, if you know what I'm sayin'.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 4, 2005 -> 10:15 PM) Mike Martz would be good So, the franchise that was built upon defense and rushing brings in Mike Martz, a guy who is completely dense when it comes to both. That is a match made in heaven, let me tell ya. As an offensive coordinator, decisions that you make have an enormous effect on your team's defense. Compulsive gambling is gonna catch up with you sooner or later, especially with the type of offensive team that we have. We're gonna have to run the ball a s***load, and that is NOT Martz's game. He'd kick ass at Florida State or USC or wherever, though.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jan 4, 2005 -> 06:00 PM) Wow. What happened with this guy? Talk about sour grapes. Yeah, HE GAWN. Well, at least now I don't have to look at that annoying chipmunk-looking retard in his avatar with the sideways hat and the hooker outfit. I also came to find out that she's the porn star who ran for governor in California? How nice. I'm sure that all of her family and friends from the trailer park where she grew up at are very proud.

My favorite is the one where Jerry goes to the obnoxious red-headed chick's office to harass her & get revenge for what she did to him during his stand-up comedy routine. Also, the episode with Judge Reinhold

QUOTE(Winnin' Ugly @ Jan 3, 2005 -> 11:00 AM) OBP is a personal stat, and in the long run doesn't mean anything.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jan 3, 2005 -> 02:38 PM) Tlak, good points. So many of the issues with Harris are subjective and it's difficult to quantify some of the pro's and cons. I like to look at the bigger picture and watch what management is doing or not doing, we all have our opinions but let's face it, they're closer to the situation and know more than we do. Sox have locked up all this veteran pitching so this team is not by any stretch in a rebuilding mode. The White Sox are in "proven performer" mode, and judging by what they've done and what it appears they're trying to do, it seems like they want nothing to do with growing pains. Look at catching. KW comes out and says he's "comfortable" with Davis and Burke, yet they chased Kendall and now Pierzynski. To me, that's good business. Support who you have, but try to improve. Neither Davis or Burke are proven commodities, they are both serviceable but KW wants more ... as do the fans. Now look at 2B. Without getting back into the Harris debate for the umpteenth time, KW is looking to augment at a minimum and probably upgrade. Whether or not they sign Iguchi, KW is looking. Again, good business. Guillen probably popped off a bit too much on Harris at year's end, after Harris himself did. They have not come out and trashed Harris this winter but they are clearly looking to upgrade. Why would they want to upgrade on a guy who is good defensively and statistically had a decent year (average, stolen bases, etc.)? Because there is something they don't like about Willie Harris. It could be "this" it could be "that" it could be who knows what. We as fans can guess and we may be 100% right. We sit back and say, "why go after Cora or Cairo or Iguchi, their stats or proven abilities aren't better than Harris?". Well first of all it's not all about stats. Second, if their scouts think Iguchi for example is a clear upgrade over Harris ... they should do it and sign him. Despite the extremely frustrating economic handcuffs with this franchise, KW in particular is trying to win. "Good enough" isn't good enough, they want the best possible option given their payroll constraints. We are saying Harris is best suited as a #9 hitter. To me, that's not good enough. The 2B is an ideal guy to be a #1 or #2 hitter. If our current 2B is ideal as a #9 hitter for 2005, we should be looking for an upgrade. And that's exactly what KW is doing, he's looking for an upgrade. This should all play out this week. It will be very interesting to see what they can get done. solid

Seattle San Diego Indianapolis Green Bay

So, here are the final regular season standings for the fantastic five: 1. Hammerhead Johnson 198 1. Knightni 198 3. Danman 192 4. Cali 191 5. Greasy 185 I guess that we're doing one point per game in the playoffs? If anyone has any suggestions, speak up. St. Louis at Seattle N.Y. Jets at San Diego Denver at Indianapolis Minnesota at Green Bay

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 2, 2005 -> 09:58 AM) No way the bulls would have won those championships without Rodman. That's exactly right. Dennis Rodman is the greatest defensive power forward of all time. If someone can name a power forward in the history of the NBA who was better defensively, I'm all ears.

Yeah, but with the exception of Marte and Shingo, those guys would have serious issues anywhere. The rookies get a pass because they're just that...rookies. The two keepers from the bunch had stellar road performances. Shingo was outstanding at home and on the road, actually. Hopefully, Vizcaino and Hermanson will be right around 3.50 on the road next year, or better. Then we'll improve on that crappy 37-44 record.

QUOTE (trexer @ Jan 1, 2005 -> 12:30 PM) A.J. is a cancerous troll and as such has no business on the White Sox. Cancerous prick, you mean? The same has been said about Frank Thomas in the past, though. All that I ask of AJ is that he prepares like a professional. I have no sympathy for someone who goes into battle half-assed.

Naah man, the way to attack Cubs fans is with baseball questions. Like, how do you come up with slugging percentage? What is OPS? Who are their minor league prospects? And then when they're stumped, you go in for the kill with an organized attack against Wrigleyville culture. Talk s*** about their khakis, laptop computers, sideways hats, fratboy atmosphere, etc. It ain't hard, man. And then afterwards, tell them that you never want to see them again in your best Hunter S Thompson voice.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 1, 2005 -> 09:20 PM) What are our home/away ERA's for pitchers not named Buehrle or Garcia? I'd look myself, but I'm lazy. Here ya go: Road Home

QUOTE (greasywheels121 @ Jan 1, 2005 -> 09:14 PM) Ha interesting point... H: 46-35 A: 37-44 In 2005, I think that we have the potential to post a sub .500 record at home and an above .500 record on the road. That would be completely retarded if it were to happen, but I can see the potential with Mark and Freddy on the road.

QUOTE (Chisoxmatt @ Jan 1, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) Germans said they find smelly co-workers to be the most annoying aspect of their jobs. Umm, yeah. I don't think that the Germans are alone on this one.
