Official 2008-2009 College Basketball Thread
QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 04:31 PM) Kind of random, but considering Ben Gordon seems like he is gone from the bulls. What type of NBA prospects are Gerald Henderson and Dar Tucker? Henderson still is a tweener between SG and SF. However, he's going to play himself into a lottery pick. Tucker will make a fine professional player....in Europe. My prediction is Tucker goes pro this year, doesn't get drafted, and then leaves the country to get paid to play.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 05:53 AM) And that effectively ends their NC aspirations. They were already razor thin before this. Now they're Ally Mcbeal thin. Losing your 4th best player to injury doesn't end your chances. Hell, maybe Acker can help stretch the defense a little more. And might I add that Jerel McNeal is amazing. He's been the best guard in college basketball during conference play.

ST Game 1: White Sox vs. Angels
QUOTE (kapkomet @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 06:49 PM) Like two other posters we have around here, eh? They wouldn't post here this year, or something. I had talked to some mods/admins about my "punishment" from last year, and came up with the idea of me not posting in game threads anymore.

Official 2008-2009 NFL Offseason Thread
QUOTE (daa84 @ Feb 23, 2009 -> 10:55 PM) watching the DEs workout on NFL network...michael johnson is a specimen...i wouldn't mind trading down to mid 20s and grabbing him if the top 4 tackles are gone when we pick at 18 Everyone knew Johnson would be a workout warrior. I don't want him in the first round, as the only thing he's actually good at ON the field is blocking kicks.

JOE.CREDE. = Twinkie
QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Feb 24, 2009 -> 02:01 AM) I didn't say the situations were exact replicas of each other, but the parallel is quite clear. Both were beloved franchise players, who turned to the "dark side" I'm sure it's just me, but the "dark side" for the White Sox would be the Cubs.

JOE.CREDE. = Twinkie
QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Feb 24, 2009 -> 01:08 AM) This is pretty much our equivalent of Damon going from the Red Sox to the Yankees. Like Damon, Crede is the villain of the piece. I hold no ill will towards Joe just frustration over how he and his agent handled the contract situation. Just another example of how much of a commitment the Danks family has to this organization, they made some concessions, Crede vehemently did not. No it's not...Boston wanted Damon back, and the White Sox didn't want Crede back.

Spring Training Reports
QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 23, 2009 -> 10:13 PM) Assuming Owens and Getz get spots in the starting lineup, Viciedo goes to the Minors and the Sox go with 12 pitchers that leaves 4 bench spots. The backup catcher and Betemit are locks so there are two open spots. Out of Lillibridge, Nix, Wise and Anderson who are you taking? From what I was told, Nix is a longshot to make the squad.

Spring Training Reports
QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 23, 2009 -> 09:46 PM) The guy has been given exactly one chance, and that was back in 2006. He sucked for the first half, and picked his game up the second half. Since then, he's been given no regular playing time to get any kind of consistency going. We'd be such a better team if Owens just goes 0 for Spring Training or the other thing happens that happened to him last season.

Dave Wilder saga takes another interesting turn
QUOTE (scenario @ Feb 23, 2009 -> 04:20 PM) The Wilder affair is a pretty sordid and twisted situation, isn't it? A 'rising star' as a baseball executive... then... Skimming on signing of Latin American prospects... Losing over $500,000 investing in a gay nightclub in Phoenix called "Club Burn"... And now reporting an income of $7.50/hour. All in the period of a couple of years. Wilder belongs in jail for what he did. It's karma that he got f'd in the ass by his nightclub investment.

Official 2008-2009 College Basketball Thread
QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 08:26 PM) Krabbenhoft is a SR and Bohannon and Hughes are JRs. Yep, that means they're in the upper echelon of most experienced teams in the country. I hate how sites use everyone on the roster to determine the average experience for a team. All that matters is the top 6 or 7 performers.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 03:18 AM) McDermott better do anything he can to retain Brackins next year. Otherwise, I really believe he will be fired at the end of next year. Brackins will go pro...he's flying up the charts right now.

Spring Training Reports
QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Feb 21, 2009 -> 02:00 AM) I have heard, but more importantly seen with my own eyes the love affair the organization with Owens. Only an injury(like last year) is going to keep Owens out of CF, at least to start the season. Yep, I couldn't agree more. I think we all are wondering if Jerry Owens groin will make another appearance.

Spring Training Reports
Rogers also stated that Getz is way in the driver's seat to be the starting 2nd baseman. I like how he stated that if Getz can leadoff, then Anderson would be the starter and hit 9th. I think that's the scenario we all would like to see the most.

JOE.CREDE. = Twinkie
The Twinkie Dome is a terrible place for Crede to hit. It's deep to left and left center, and caters to players who can drive the ball to right field. As the stats show, Crede's one of the worst in baseball with regards to opposite field power.
