QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 5, 2013 -> 06:13 PM) Let's all keep in mind too that class rankings/player rankings mean absolute dick when it comes to results. Yeah, Illinois has a top 15ish class for the fourth time in five years and not a lot to show for it.

Yes, I would imagine being a top team with Egwu and Abrams as seniors pretty much no matter who surrounds them.

I think Snider is a heavy UCLA lean. I bet he was about to commit when JG somehow said whoa whoa whoa, you better look around first, and got him to move up a visit. I think Illinois has a lot better shot at Cliff than anyone is giving them credit for. Seems no one has anything concrete, especially when Cliff denies everything, so they are picking KU for him. All speculation of course.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 5, 2013 -> 04:31 PM) How is it any different? You're telling a guy (or strongly hinting to a guy) thatI he should leave because you have better players coming in and won't get playing time. They didn't have anyone coming in and you're completely speculating to begin with. It would take a special kind of stupid to tell someone like Mike Shaw to go elsewhere. I highly doubt Groce did that.

I wouldn't say every program does it. Far from it. And I wouldn't say those were cases of "creaning"

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 5, 2013 -> 01:54 PM) Starting Saturday you have Hell on Wheels, Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy all new. Yep, that is good four of weeks there of television. Glad I am not using this thread to decide if I want to watch The League or Sunny. I watch AGT with the family. It has some cool stuff on it but people voting for s***ty singers really has killed the show for the entire family. Everyone complains about kids dance troups and singers every year yet they go through time and time again. Don't get it.

I would be disappointed if we started creaning kids.

Sunny was as good as always. League was brutal last night.

Pleasac feels the need to yell the first words of every topic.

Garbage call

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 5, 2013 -> 01:34 AM) At least it is only $20 True. I'm actually hitting it big tonight aside from them so I can't complain.

Major league piece of hitting.

Put $20 on the Sox to tie/win the first five innings. Won't trust our pen again after last night.

Limited damage. Nice.

Johnson looks terribad.

Jesus, Keppinger is slow.

Oh boy. We are not trading Alexei to have Leury Garcia play everday.

The roast was amazing. Bill Hader had what I thought was the best roast ever. Ross amazing as usual. The only thing missing was Jesslenik.

Not when I bet on the Sox like I inexplicably did tonight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 4, 2013 -> 02:22 AM) Absolutely, but the scary thing is that the players seem to be the ones who will be moved (ie: De Aza). If we trade De Aza for nothing, like I fear, I riot.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Sep 4, 2013 -> 03:16 AM) Robin looks PISSED. He should be fired.

I decided to bet on the Sox tonight for the first time all year. Of course this happens.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 3, 2013 -> 06:45 PM) If the Sox are as far away from being contenders as Soxtalk thinks they are, there is no reason to sign another catcher. For a backup job? Of course there is. Veteran presence and another perspective for Phegley. And if we do try to compete a lefty simy makes way more sense.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 3, 2013 -> 05:28 PM) Except for the clear need for a backup catcher. We will certainly get a lefty veteran at worst. That's the most certain move of the offseason. Flowers has no place anymore, unless he wants to toil in the minors and hope for an injury. He won't be here opening day.

There's 0 reason for him to be on the opening day roster next season.
