QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 12, 2008 -> 08:03 AM) May I ask why you posted his game logs from last year? We all know he pretty much stunk. To show which games I watched him pitch. Thankfully I didn't see that start against Colorado though.

I've seen Bailey on TV 4 times in his career, while my brother has seen him numerous times in AAA. I watched Bailey's MLB debut in 2007 (against Indians I believe), and then I saw his two performances against Brewers last season as well as his game against the Cardinals. Like I recently said in this thread though, we don't know how much the injuries depleted him of his stuff last season. If his stuff last season when he was in the majors is what he truly throws, then I want no part of him. He is worth the risk of Jermaine though, as he could give us the power righty we've lacked. st 8 Games (Season Game Log) Season to Date Date Opponent Score Dec IP H R ER HR BB K W L SV IP ERA Aug 6 MIL L 3-6 L 5.1 8 6 6 0 3 4 0 6 0 36.1 7.93 Aug 1 @ WAS L 2-5 L 2.0 7 5 5 0 1 3 0 5 0 31.0 7.55 Jul 26 COL L 1-5 L 4.2 15 5 4 0 1 2 0 4 0 29.0 6.52 Jul 21 SDG L 4-6 - 6.1 8 3 3 1 2 2 0 3 0 24.1 6.29 Jul 13 @ MIL L 2-3 - 5.2 5 2 2 1 0 4 0 3 0 18.0 7.00 Jun 15 BOS L 0-9 L 2.1 4 5 5 3 3 0 0 3 0 12.1 8.76 Jun 10 STL L 2-7 L 3.2 8 5 5 2 3 2 0 2 0 10.0 6.30 Jun 5 @ PHI L 0-5 L 6.1 4 5 2 1 4 1 0 1 0 6.1 2.84 Total 36.1 59 36 32 8 17 18 0 6 0 0 7.93

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 12, 2008 -> 05:28 AM) Why would Collins go to DePaul? I know it's a sleeping giant in that it's a Big East basketball school in a major city with a lot of tradition, but it's still a rebuilding job in the toughest basketball conference (by far) in America. That's a rough way to start the heading coaching portion of your career. Chicago connections...I've heard from people he was interested in the job when JW got it.

If the Bears run the table, what are their chances at getting the Wild Card.

That was a filthy route by Hester. s***ty throw, but an obvious PI.

That official is a gutless piece of s***. You'll never see a more blatant pass int.

How in the hell isn't that a penalty? David butt f***ed G-reg.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 12, 2008 -> 04:13 AM) This isn't the fun and gun in Florida. It's the NFL. You can't just throw deep. Orton makes more difficult throws that Rex can never make. Week 7 vs. Minnesota he was very good. Good against Jax and Good against St. Louis. Otherwise he has been average, never brutal, IMO. Guess you don't like the fact that he is capable of putting up a 0.0 WB rating. Never brutal? At Minnesota was a terrible performance, and tonight hasn't been much better. Hopefully he can lead us to a win now.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 12, 2008 -> 04:06 AM) Most idiotic statement ever. Why? Orton's been absolutely brutal since about week 6. Reminds me of 2006 with Rex. At least with Rex, you have someone who can complete a deep pass once a month.

Kyle Orton is brutal. And why are we passing when Saints have one timeout left? Give me Rex over Orton any day.

Thanks Saints for that play call!

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 12, 2008 -> 04:55 AM) He hasn't even played much. I can't think of anything he has done to hurt us. He is eaily a better back up than Kevin Jones. He's been horrible on special teams, and he's dropped quite a few passes thrown his way. Need a big stand now!

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 12, 2008 -> 04:55 AM) Why would you fake punt? I think it looks like a catch, but awful idea. Like I said right after it happened, Lovie's trying to get himself fired.

A. Peterson really sucks this season for the Bears.

Lovie's just asking to be fired now.

This game is a carbon copy of the Tampa and Carolina games from earlier this year. Some more amazing adjustments by Babich.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 12, 2008 -> 03:59 AM) That would actually be a nice fit for Chris' first coaching job. Have no fear, I dropped that name to one of the biggest boosters today. I'll add any insight I receive.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Dec 12, 2008 -> 03:30 AM) Pretty sure it bounced off Davis It was behind him...should have been a big play for the Bears.

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Dec 12, 2008 -> 03:23 AM) When will Rashied Davis finally stop get playing time, he hurts the team way more than he helps. It was a bad pass by Orton.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 11, 2008 -> 06:45 AM) I can't stand Mac Jurko and Harry, they are like the stereotypical Chicago sports fans. I love Waddle and Silvy, and I think the perspective Mully and Hanley bring as sportswriters is a very good listen, especially in the morning. But B&B is the best show by far IMO, I mean their two "sidekicks" in Drinky and Goff are both hosts I like, let alone in the roles they are for that show. Plus I love the "schtick" B&B have. I wish Drink and/or Goff would get their own show, but that's for another day. I used to like Laurence Holmes a lot more, but since he got his own show (well, and teamed with Dan Hampton, who sucks big time), I am not as big a fan. He seems to have changed a bit in the last several months, and that is unfortunate. Jurko is such an ignorant ass. I don't think I've ever heard an intelligent thought from him. My 4 most annoying Chicago media members are Jurko, Murph, ZZ, and David Kaplan.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Dec 12, 2008 -> 03:09 AM) You do realize that it's irrational to make judgments on players based on seeing him once, right? It's equally irrational to discount the value of what the player has done throughout the year. How can you say stats are meaningless? WSF101 saw the same Bailey starts for the Reds that I did. His stuff was extremely underwhelming in those games.

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Dec 12, 2008 -> 03:51 AM) I find it hard to believe that any team, especially one hoping to contend for the playoffs would have Nick Punto as a starter, I have no problems with him as a utility guy, but he is a pretty poor starter. They gave him a ton of money

Twins signed Punto today. I can't see them signing OC.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 12, 2008 -> 03:40 AM) Betemit will make 1.3 this year, FWIW. 500k less than HoRam

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 12, 2008 -> 12:56 AM) If I was the Cubs, I would give the Padres anything they wanted for Peavy. He is arguably one of the top 3 arms in the NL. Yep, I was thinking today that a rotation with Peavy, Zambrano, Harden, Dempster and Lilly, in what is shaping up to be an absolutely terrible NL Central, could likely lead to the Cubs being a 105-110 win team.
