QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 04:13 AM) Also, I am AMAZED at how bad DePaul is. Jerry Wainwright is a horrid coach. Agreed...I talked to their top booster the other day, and he doesn't even know if JW will be fired. I recommended Chris Collins to him, and I told him that you better get a big time recruiter in there as Jerrance Howard is cleaning up in Chicago. Sadly, the booster didn't know who Howard was.

B.J. Mullens is going to go pro, no matter how he plays this year. Draftexpress mentioned that his family needs the money a few weeks back.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 20, 2009 -> 02:26 AM) Well, Bernstein is smarter than almost every single meatball caller that gets on the show. If fans weren't such idiots he wouldn't have to go off like he does. How many 'orton is god' and 'why doesn't lovie talk into the headset' calls does he have to take? Yep, B&B are way too smart for most of sports radio listeners.

Considering that the Cubs are being sold this week, and the recent news of Harden's shoulder injury....and Peavy will be a Cub within 10 days.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jan 18, 2009 -> 07:42 PM) Yup. I would not be surprised at all if the new owner pulls the trigger on this deal the day after the Cubs sale takes place... as a way to play up to the fans and make a PR splash. Good call....one of the possible owners has told MLB that the Cubs would have a payroll of 200 milliion per year if he's in charge.

This only means they'll get Peavy sooner, rather than later.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jan 18, 2009 -> 02:28 AM) ...and down goes pittsburgh. Wake Forest new number 1 or Duke?? It better be Wake

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jan 18, 2009 -> 01:27 AM) If Illanoy and MSU played on a neutral court, Illanoy win 8/10 times. No way...MSU played as bad as they possibly could for the first 30 minutes today. I've never seen them have more unforced turnovers. MSU is too good on the boards to be dominated in a 10 game series by the Illini.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 17, 2009 -> 10:33 PM) wtf is going on with the refs in this game? what was that shot clock call? i'm guess since they missed whether it was a violation and there was no time left on the clock they just gave them the ball with one second. I can't believe Izzo hasn't been tossed. Terribly officiated game.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 09:16 PM) The only thing that would worry me is that besides McCoy, there would be a whole slew of new kids. But I trust the writers to keep it going. And Tyra > All What can I say? I like em tall. Sorry, Tyra's #4 after Lyla, Julie, and Mrs. Taylor.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 09:28 PM) 3rd season of Friday NIght Lights was good. They can NOT cancel this show. Hopefully the run on NBC is strong. Agreed..fantastic season and a great potential storyline next year (don't read further due to spoilers if you missed 3rd season) with Eric coaching Dillon's rival. The girls looked hotter than ever last night, with Julie's chest on full display and the continue rise of Minka Kelly to superstar status (check out egotastic for her Golden Globes dress). The championship game episode had one of the best moments I've seen on a sports show with Tim leaving his shoes on the football field. It was hard to get my wife to understand what that means due to the tears flowing down her face.

He's going to go back to the Braves. He was at the GT-Duke game last night wearing a Braves hat.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 03:43 AM) In all honesty, we've made a few moves this offseason, but nothing big. I honestly without thinking REALLY hard can't even remember a move being made until I hear the name, "Vasquez." STILL no solid starter signed and STILL no leadoff hitter. The idea of Jerry Owens potentially being on the ML roster this year just makes me want to vomit. Would this site allow a one time waiver for us to root for a particular injury to a particular player?

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 03:35 AM) I LOVE how there's always an excuse for not signing/trading for someone on this site. I look at this team and its performance/makeup in recent years and wonder what we have that makes this payroll worth 115 million when our BEST players are coming CHEAP right now??? Seriously, it's pathetic and it BOGGLES MY MIND. There are teams FAR better out there with a much smaller payroll. f***ing MAKE ROOM for someone GOOD like Garland. Jesus... Especially because I'll be shocked if we end up giving Jenks a big deal in the next few years. It's been such a weird, disappointing offseason so far. With how cheap some of these free agents are signing for, I would have thought KW would have made some interesting acquisitions.

Hewitt's job is safe for another year, as he landed the best high school player in the country today.

Yep, Dye's mechanics in getting behind the ball and/or charging it are some of the worst you'll ever see. The only people that think Dye is good defensively are those that listen to Hawk and DJ too much.

A question to think about: did KW intend for this to be what his roster would look like on January 14th, or did he misjudge how the economy/market would play out? I have a very hard time believing that he wanted a roster with so many holes at this stage of the offseason.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 05:12 AM) I hate this trade everyday. Yep, especially if Yankees get more for Swisher than we did.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 05:04 AM) Where is Meeks on all your All-America teams? He was averaging 25 ppg coming into his 54 tonight. Him and Teague should be on top 3 teams after the last few games...remove Jerrells for sure.

Anyone watching one of the greatest shooting exhibitions ever tonight? Meeks with 52 pts at Tennessee. Also, Favors will announce tomorrow. GT is the huge favorite.

Reyes or Morton will likely be traded for Swisher.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 03:03 AM) I love how the article on whitesox.com talks about believing in Marquez and Richard because of how Danks and Floyd turned out... Unless things change, that might be our marketing campaign this coming season.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 03:58 PM) Isn't Figgins known to be a little difficult in the clubhouse? I think if it meant Abreu takes JD's place then do the deal. If not, it would be silly IMO. Figgins could be OC II, just counting the days until free agency. Yep, he supposedly was a pain in the ass last season in the Angels clubhouse. Figgins isn't cheap, so everyone thinking we'd trade Dye for Chone and then have a ton of money to spend is mistaken. I think Chone is a good player though and a perfect fit for this team...but I think the only way the Angels make this deal is if it's a straight up trade (since they hate to deal their prospects).

The third hour of 24 was as good an episode as I can remember.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 03:52 AM) So his skills are NOT diminishing with age, like everyone else ever mentioned as coming to the Sox? No, we mention age for guys like Willits because if you're receiving a significantly lesser talent in return, they better at least be young enough to have a high ceiling.
