I love Gruden ripping the Bears for mistake after mistake.

How many QB's have gone on a 15 for 15 streak this year against Mel Tucker? 10

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 08:24 PM) Failed fake punt, nice. And not even enough players. Jesus. Trestman so unprepared week after week.

Fuller has hit the rookie wall.

Welcome Mike

ME finish was terrible ruined the match.

This came out of out of nowhere I guess DV is gone very soon.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 04:36 PM) He used to do it on the Indy circuit so it wasn't a botch...I am a little surprised they let him use it though. Zayn has taken that bump more than a few times. These guys go way back, their feud is gonna be money. If that is the case with Daniel Bryan neck issues shocked WWE approved him using that move.

I do not think Owens meant to drop him against the ring that bump looked bad for Zayn.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 03:33 PM) I dont think I quite understand what Levine even means with this. Bruce has no clue why should anyone else understand him.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 11:48 AM) Pat Mannelly indicates that players believe Kromer's tears were forced / fake. Shocked he has not be fired by orders from the McCaskey's yet.

Bears OC Aaron Kromer admitted to the team on Monday that he was an anonymous source in a recent NFL Network report criticizing Jay Cutler. That would be Ian Rapoport's "serious buyer's remorse" report, though a "tearful" Kromer "adamantly denied" making the buyer's remorse comments. Whatever Kromer did or didn't exactly say, it's a stunning admission, and indicative of Raiders/Redskins-level dysfunction in Chicago. It's appearing less and less likely that coach Marc Trestman is going to keep his job. Not only has his defense collapsed, but his once-prolific offense has bordered on unwatchable many times over the past 5-6 weeks. Kromer's unprofessional act is going to earn him sideways glances the next time he's looking for a job. Source: Chicago Tribune Fire all the SOB's

QUOTE (Lillian @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 04:37 PM) On what do you base your assumption? He seemed to be getting a little stronger, regaining some of the lost velocity, as well as learning to pitch with the diminished velocity. Why would he now get worse? He was ranked one of IF not the worst qualified starting pitcher in baseball last year. He is not the same pitcher anymore and HR rate against is terrible. I do not think it is much of a assumption at this point to say he is not starter material anymore on a team looking to win.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 03:49 PM) He'll get a huge contract. Way larger than Lester. I agree, but for MS to think he will get more than Kershaw is nuts.

Danks numbers will continue to decline, he is not going improve in 2015. Sox need 1 more solid #4 starter.

The White Sox and Mariners are engaged in “serious talks” about a deal involving outfielder/third baseman Dayan Viciedo, MLB.com’s Scott Merkin reports on Twitter. Chicago is looking to receive a bullpen arm in return.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 11:48 AM) Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 2m2 minutes ago The #Tigers no longer are pursuing Max Scherzer, GM David Dombrowski reveals. Bye bye Scherzer Until his contract demands come way down he will be waiting a long time. He wants more than Kershaw keep dreaming. 1 career complete game against the Sox last year.

Nice deal Rienzo had no future in Sox uniform.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 10:57 AM) @Buster_ESPN: The Red Sox have an agreement with Justin Masterson. Not real surprised he wanted to go back to Boston.

Dodgers sure love to waste money on very average players.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 10:33 AM) Link? According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, the Tigers have acquired Alfredo Simon from the Reds. Source: Ken Rosenthal on Twitter

According to CJ Nitkowski of FOX Sports 1, Red Sox outfielder Yoenis Cespedes has been traded to the Tigers for right-handed starter Rick Porcello. Alex Wilson, a right-handed reliever, is also headed to Detroit in the deal along with a low-level minor league pitcher. The Tigers wanted to add an outfield bat and they found a good one in Cespedes, but giving up Porcello couldn't have been an easy call. Porcello had a career year in 2014 at age 25, posting a 3.43 ERA in 204 2/3 innings for Detroit. Cespedes and Porcello will both be free agents next winter. Source: CJ Nitkowski on Twitter Hope Detroit plans on scoring 7 runs a game because the pitching they have right now sucks.

I think DV value on the trade market is minimal at best.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 03:57 PM) I'd be surprised if Samardzija wasn't already extended before ST started. I think he's waiting for Scherzer and Lester to sign since their contracts will raise the pay scale for starting pitchers. Just my opinion but I have little doubt about Samardzija signing an extension. I know if I were Samardzija I would be extatic about being sandwiched between Sale and Q in the starting rotation. Jeff said on radio today he is going to wait and see how the Sox organization is before talking contract. I doubt he signs in ST!

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 07:33 AM) The Red Sox have apparently offered Masterson a multi-year deal. White Sox do not need him.
