QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 13, 2011 -> 04:50 PM) He also admitted that Avila is hurting that he probably did it by playing him too much this season. As much as I'm rooting against Tigers, I'm rooting for them to play a lot of postseason games because of the effect it could have on them to start next year.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 13, 2011 -> 04:29 PM) You give Verlander enough of it, and he'll pitch every single game the rest of the postseason. Could you imagine the reaction if Ron Washington said the Rangers were going to try and get through their game with Wilson and Coke?

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Oct 13, 2011 -> 02:25 AM) I love Nelson Cruz. He's quite the dynamic player

I'm not even sure why the rest of baseball should field teams anymore http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/colum...,6348490.column

I love the quote about PK worrying about something to happen in the 8th inning during the 3rd inning.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 12, 2011 -> 06:39 PM) True. One thing is for sure. They better win big cause without Ozzie there are no headlines, no buzz in this city about the White Sox at all. Jerry seems to have no sense of urgency, just telling KW to "think outside the box with no retreads." This might sound dumb, but I'd have taken the Theo/Tito combo on the southside WAY OVER KW/Robin. If you think the headlines of Ozzie acting like an idiot were good for the organization and/or the fan base, then you are so wrong. Maybe it's cause you don't live in Chicago and it's hard for you to understand how the locals feel, but Ozzie's "act" grew old to everyone in the city a few years ago.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 12, 2011 -> 05:09 PM) With their pitching problems someone like Cashner could be a target too. Cashner is so overrated, IMO. From the sound of it, his shoulder will never allow him to be a starter.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 12, 2011 -> 05:05 PM) That's a reasonable match for them since Boston has Gonzalez and Youk doesn't belong at third, but the Cubs aren't exactly starting with a lot of chips to move. I struggle to see how that would happen without Starlin. Sean Marshall (if the Red Sox think they can turn him back into a starter)

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 12, 2011 -> 04:43 PM) Despite his hits on Lester, Pedroia, and Youk...it's not unfair to say that the reason he has rings is the Manroid deal and the fact that the Twins gave up on Ortiz. Theo isn't magic. The thing to watch now is how they fill that 1b spot. I could see him trying to trade for Youkilis

Any chance Theo becomes their president and Hahn their GM?

I wish nothing but the worse for Theo. Hope this doesn't mean they get Pujols or Prince but I think this helps them

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 04:49 PM) I think I'd have somehow talked myself into loving PK as player/manager. I'm happy it didn't happen, as I would hate to eventually dislike my favorite Sox player of all time

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 04:30 PM) Steve, Angelo is okay at drafting, his problem is that either he gets it right or completely misses. You can live with that as long as you supplant your team with free agents. Maybe like five years ago. His draft record the last few years is horrible

I supported the Robin decision, but come on coach...act like you want the job! He answered Chuck Garfein's question about what did KW see in him to make him the manager with the following quote "I don't know Chuck".

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 03:56 AM) The D has been the strength over his tenure. Coaching isnt great, but the players are god-awful. Is the consensus that Peppers has lost a step or two?

Bill Simmons always says this, and it's so true....thousands of teenagers who play Madden are better at managing the clock and score in late game situations than NFL coaches.

The coaching staff is going to get killed in the media this week

Much like I felt during Sox season, it's not just the losses that are annoying, but it's how boring the Bears are.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 02:51 AM) The sad part is that this is about as good as Cutler has played with the Bears. Agreed...this offensive system and the pathetic OL makes it so hard for this offense to generate points. Oh well...maybe they'll get to face some 3rd string QBs the rest of the way.

Goodness, catch the ball! Cutler's playing a hell of a game.

Is it me, or does Kellen Davis seem to be struggling lining up on the proper side for the called play?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 02:15 AM) So.......is Chris Spencer hurt? Because Omiyale isnt working out here and......um, yeah. To be fair, he does lead the league in sacks allowed and false starts.

Excellent play by Cutler on that 3rd down. Gruden needs to agree to the soxtalk hyperbole agreement though.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 01:20 AM) the bears are so awful. i'm ready for this team to tank so we can clean house. I'm with you here. This offense is amazingly bad. Cutler is a waste in this offense.
