QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 22, 2014 -> 04:14 PM) I'm not saying you're wrong but it seems odd to have him come back for Old school raw and do the Rumble as well. They saved the DDT for the Rumble is my guess, why it was not done at Old School Raw IMO.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 22, 2014 -> 01:04 PM) Just had a Cubs fan tell me Sox were never in on Tanaka, Sox have the worst front office in baseball, have done nothing to improve their MLB team or farm system the past five years, Sale's contract is worthless if they don't trade him. Cubs were a playoff team with Tanaka and Tigers signed Joba for the same amount they used to pay Fielder. f***ing idiot. After you said Cub fan, I knew he was a sheep.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jan 22, 2014 -> 01:12 PM) Bronson Arroyo (37) Scott Baker (32) Erik Bedard (35) A.J. Burnett (37) Chris Capuano (35) Bruce Chen (37) Freddy Garcia (37) Jon Garland (34) Matt Garza (30) Jason Hammel (31) Tommy Hanson (27) Aaron Harang (36) Ubaldo Jimenez (30) Jair Jurrjens (28) Jeff Karstens (31) Paul Maholm (32) Jason Marquis (35) Daisuke Matsuzaka (33) James McDonald (29) Jeff Niemann (31) Roy Oswalt (35) Clayton Richard (30) Ervin Santana (31) Johan Santana (34) Joe Saunders (33) Jake Westbrook (36) Jerome Williams (32) Suk-Min Yoon (27) Barry Zito (36) That's MLBTR's list Hell Cy Chen killed the Sox maybe a 1 yr deal.

I have a feeling Jake Roberts is in the Rumble.

It is really a 4 yr deal in reality.

Bruce Levin and Kaplin must be on suicide watch over the Cubby blue not getting Tanaka.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jan 21, 2014 -> 09:41 PM) That's always scary. He was young and pretty fit looking. Dam 49 way too young I liked him on the show.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 08:43 PM) Ya I saw that. I meant along the lines that I think they're saving him as a "surprise" entrant that blows the roof off the stadium. All the Wyatt's destroy him after their match, kayfabe wise he's just done then music hits during the the rumble and the crowd explodes. That said, if they do that he better win cause you take the chance of the crowd s***ting on Batista if Bryan is in the rumble and doesn't win. They just said Bryan vs Wyatt singles match. I would say 50/50 If he is in the Rumble now.

QUOTE (dayan024 @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 08:26 PM) David Kaplan ‏@thekapman 16s I expect winning team in Tanaka sweepstakes to know decision by close of business, Wednesday. That gives the team time for addtl. medicals. Wow Kaplan this was known 3 days ago Cub Boy!

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 08:33 PM) Anyone else find it bizarre how they're not saying whether Bryan is or isn't in the Rumble? He has been medically cleared from his concussion last week. I would be shocked If he is not in it.

Nice Mae Young tribute video and I agree Batista does not do much for me either especially longterm.

Does Stephanie ever wear any color but black last few years?

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 03:29 PM) Lol this one is priceless! WTF Bruce.... https://mobile.twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/s...369965705719808 Bruce just being his usual Cub cheerleader role.

Justice for SF.

This game is over.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 19, 2014 -> 04:17 PM) When watching the Seahawks today, just remember what football expert Hub Arkush said about them before the season started. "Anyone who thinks Seattle is a good football team needs to study more." No one is surprised Pro Football Weekly ended with dumb comments from Hub like that one.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 19, 2014 -> 03:55 PM) That drive was just massive for the Broncos. Go up 3 scores and use up half a quarter worth of time. Patriots are in huge trouble. Yes they are!

QUOTE (Baron @ Jan 19, 2014 -> 02:31 PM) He's pretty terrible....watching CSN Chicago the live sports talk.....always gets so defensive when the other guests start talking about the Cubs terrible offseason He is 100% Cub Boy do not care for him at all.

QUOTE (Whitey @ Jan 19, 2014 -> 01:31 PM) If Tanaka doesn’t sign with the Sox, would anyone here support a move like signing Ubaldo Jimenez? That type of signing would still make the staff rock solid. Plus Jimenez would be for less $/years. Sale Jimenez Quintana Danks Johnson/Paulino/Rienzo NO!

According to Nikkan Sports in Japan, five teams made formal offers -- nearly all of them worth more than $100 million over six years -- to Masahiro Tanaka on January 16. Aaron Steen of MLB Trade Rumors provided the translation of the Japanese story. The five teams are said to be the Yankees, Dodgers, Diamondbacks, White Sox and Cubs. One team that was said to not be a serious contender for Tanaka's services was the Angels. The January 24 signing deadline is quickly approaching, and with his serious suitors now identified it's just a matter of waiting to see which winds up winning the sweepstakes for the 25-year-old.

QUOTE (timbo @ Jan 18, 2014 -> 10:43 AM) cubs made first offer @mlbbrucelevine Wake up tweeters! Cubs made Tanaka a real offer to be there ace and grow with their other talented young players. Bruce's Cub bias alive and well.

My day for binge viewing.............watched both seasons of Lillyhammer on Netflix today. It was pretty good.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 17, 2014 -> 02:44 PM) Does anyone really remember the Blade Runners? I've only heard of them. They really did not tag together very long and had a good short run and they split up as quick as they came together and you know the rest.

I am still not convinced Sox are going to keep De Aza and pay him $4.25 million for a reduced role in 2014.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 17, 2014 -> 02:42 PM) You know what else I was thinking is a small possibility if Sting came back? A Blade Runners tagteam reunion. Warrior has been chirping on twitter that he isnt done yet Great minds think alike at 2:42 today!
