KW on trade. San Diego came back and obviously put something on the table that attracted us,” White Sox GM Ken Williams said. “Both of these guys are guys that we can ultimately see, and we can see them very quickly here.”

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 31, 2011 -> 12:50 PM) from Rosenthal too: #WhiteSox will receive two minor league pitchers from #Padres for Quentin - RHP Simon Castro and LHP Pedro Hernandez. #MLB Sox just wanted CQ gone. The return is what it is.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 29, 2011 -> 10:51 AM) Pretty awful that our 1st round pick from a year ago is not even in the top 10. Kind of scary. I do realize he's considered a "hit or miss" prospect but still. And no, I'm not writing him off. Just thought it was very interesting that a guy we invested a 1st round pick in isn't in the top 10. I disliked the Walker and Mitchell picks both were pathectic reaches.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 22, 2011 -> 11:06 PM) I was going off a Dan Wetzel tweet which was a mistake. So looking at non-common opponents the Colts need these teems to win: CHI, DET, GB, ARZ, WASH, DEN, OAK, SD and these teams to lose: HOU, JAC, TEN, BAL, CIN, CLE, PIT, NE. Dear god, the Vikings getting Andrew Luck would be a disaster. Oddly enough, losing the next 2 weeks would be rather beneficial for the Bears. I just want this whole thing too blow up in the Irsay's face. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/12/22/co lts-flirting-with-blowing-the-luck-pick/

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 22, 2011 -> 10:52 PM) The Colts still need to beat the Jaguars next week to lose the #1 pick. NFL network is not correct Stl has 2 wins now and so does Minn, Yes If Stl or Minn win then Ind has a good shot. Stl vs Pitt and SF i see them losing both games finishing with 2 wins..

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 22, 2011 -> 10:43 PM) If STL ends up #1, that would be interesting. They have a very young QB who is making big money, so that would be a much tougher decision that what the Colts are facing. Even If they keep Bradford teams will lineup bigtime to get the pick! Stl coach and staff are being fired at years end. I tnink they keep Luck and trade Bradford.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 22, 2011 -> 10:31 PM) Any Colts fan cheering at the end of the game tonight is an idiot. Why are you cheering? And congrats to the Texans, who blew the inside track to a bye by losing to the Panthers at home and then at the Colts. Colts LUCK may have run out tonight pardon the pun. If STL, MINN and IND tie records STL #1 and MINN #2 have a weaker strength of schedule which is the tie-breaker Ouch babe!

How can we bid on him we cannot spend $1.00 with only 50 cents as KW would say!

Oak got a nice haul back.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 21, 2011 -> 08:22 PM) keithlaw keithlaw If you're rebuilding, you trade Danks. If you re-sign Danks, you're not rebuilding. If you re-sign Danks while rebuilding, you're lost. 1 minute ago Favorite Retweet Reply I loathe Law the Sox could get the top 3 players in baseball and he would act like Sox are worse because if it. Law NEVER has a good word for the Sox but is a Cub loving kissass.,

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Dec 22, 2011 -> 12:54 PM) Let's hope 2012 is a better year It cannot get worse than 2011 from a pure baseball standpoint..............I hope he rebounds in 12.

Floyd will be gonzo before ST!

The guy who broke this is gold ................i believe what he says he has a good track record IMO!

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 21, 2011 -> 02:10 PM) This team has no particular direction, if this is the case. It's like it's being run by a child with ADHD playing Playstation. .......................Floyd will be dealt for sure If this is true!

Glad we are leaving Iraq, it's about time.

http://www.illinihq.com/sports/illini-spor...atus-doubt.html Jason Ford may be out vs UCLA. Senior leadership at it's finest.

Gene Smith has to be canned after alll this.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 20, 2011 -> 01:18 PM) http://www.cleveland.com/osu/index.ssf/201...otball_p_4.html Ohio State loses 9 total scholarships and gets a one year postseason ban. The big thing that comes out of this, for me, is how AMAZINGLY arrogant, stupid, or both Ohio State was to not decline a bowl bid this year. I hope they think that 6-6 Gator Bowl trip with an interim coach was worth it next year when they are sitting home after 12 games. Penalty still was on the light side. Once Meyer signed as coach everyone knew the sanctions would be very light or he would not have come!

Angelo will probably give himself a contract extension......................he has too go!

Ilinois really showing how to get it done in Chi-Town again.

Reds paid heavy to get him IMO.

How JR and KW look in the mirror with a minor league system like this is beyond me.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 14, 2011 -> 08:42 AM) Awful fits, and we aren't spending money. Right on both counts.............Sox will not be spending money period!

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 05:01 PM) Rowand to the Marlins on a minor-league deal. You can't make this stuff up! Good OG can have him!

Things are going to get interesting Danks will be gone that's for sure!
