Gasol is the one man momentum killer tonight. They are going to have to watch his minutes, as hopefully Taj is fine

Taj looks awesome, and I love watching McDermott play. With that said, Rose looks like he forgot how to shoot. His shot is incredibly flat right now.

I can't believe I have to watch Hinrich again this year. Also, what a terrible charge call on Rose.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 30, 2014 -> 12:16 AM) Tim Anderson? For a year of Jeff Samardzija? I wouldn't be a fan of it, but considering they gave up a top 5 prospect to get him last year, it would make sense for them to try and replenish the SS depth in their system. If the Sox did a trade like this, I think they would extend Samardzija right away.

For some reason, I keep thinking Samardzija might be their main target this offseason. I'm not a fan, but could a deal look like Anderson, Beck and Viciedo for him?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 09:38 PM) Meh. Maddon is a good manager but managers just don't have a big impact on wins and losses. If their young talent plays to their potential, Ned Yost or Ozzie Guillen could lead them to the postseason. The main thing the Maddon hire will do is create even more buzz for their future, which was pretty high heading into the offseason. I also expect them to spend a ton this offseason, as they are huge favorites to sign Lester. Hopefully the Dodgers continue to field an All-Star team, while the Pirates and Cardinals continue to put competitive teams out on the field.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 01:45 AM) Peavy is Peavying I can't believe he was talking about the Cubs like he was the day before pitching the biggest game of his career.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 28, 2014 -> 05:42 PM) Sweet, I'll take Peavy and Lester in a package deal. Says Theo and Maddon

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 28, 2014 -> 05:27 PM) What do you think it'd take? You frequent Toronto boards don't you? If the Sox are going to trade them one of their 2nd baseman, I really hope it's Sanchez.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 28, 2014 -> 05:14 PM) If TCU wins out, they absolutely deserve to be in the playoffs, in my opinion. They'd have 4 quality wins (Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Kansas State and at WVU). Scratch Oklahoma St from the list, as they're going to lose a lot of games the rest of the way. Their schedule is insane this year: - FSU (neutral site) - at TCU - WVU - at Kansas St - at Baylor - at Oklahoma

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 28, 2014 -> 02:33 PM) Sox acquire DH Adam Lind in about a week from Toronto. totally agree with you on this

Nebraska winning out until the Big Ten Champ Game could be a huge boost to Mich St's hopes. Nebraska could possibly be a top ten team if they go 11-1.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 27, 2014 -> 01:40 AM) They should probably beat someone good first. There's a possibility that by the end of the year, they will have no top 25 wins even if they win out.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 27, 2014 -> 01:36 AM) I may never say this again. ND deserves to be in the playoff IMO. I feel like TCU is easily the most underrated one loss team. I'm not sure why UGa is rated so highly.

Car accident unfortunately

@Buster_ESPN: Rival executives believe that if Joe Maddon winds up with the Cubs, the Rays will investigate the issue of tampering.

Basically every baseball expert is predicting Maddon to Cubs now.

Andrew Friedman already on the record today saying they won't hire Maddon

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 24, 2014 -> 06:30 PM) It just makes too much sense It would suck for them to have best GM and Manager

Ugh, saw a tweet from Toronto sports writer Steve Simmons that there is a rumor at exec level in baseball that he will go to Cubs. Sorry no copy/paste as having phone issues.

Buster Olney thinks he ends up with Cubs

Thomas to TAMU

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 20, 2014 -> 08:48 PM) On a sidenote, I still expect ND to lose another game this year and make it a moot point but I like Brian Kelly. Seeing so many of this big or so called big programs miss on various guys, I am A okay with Kelly and figure at some point we'll win a title with him and at least we'll pretty much always be in the top 25 with him here. Just like with Golson, will he bolt for the NFL after this year? He's had to deal with major academic issues the last two seasons, so maybe he wants out.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 20, 2014 -> 07:41 PM) I can't imagine a QB his size gets drafted early enough that it makes sense for Everett to leave for the pro game. He has become a pretty accurate passer though and just an overall good reader of the defense. He clearly has to work on cleaning up his handling of the football, especially when he's running, etc. Plus how he handled his off the field issues and how much he developed while away from the game, is impressive, and a positive indicator if I'm an NFL scout regarding his ability to work, overcome adversity, etc. Everyone wants the next Russell Wilson though. I do agree he's handle his issues well, as he gave the best answers of anyone on either team after Saturday's game.
