QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 02:16 PM) SOA finished strong, still a tad confusing as to why something happened toward the end but still a decent show. Last 15 minutes were crazy.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 03:23 PM) This is difference between football and basketball in Champaign. There actually are people who think there is no justification to fire Beckman. No matter what, year 1, year 2, if a basketball coach came in and his only conference win was a close one vs. NU, he would be gone in a heartbeat. And you are only kidding yourself if you don't think his job status has any effect on his recruiting. Recruiting under Beckman is rock bottom already, not 1 top 300 recruit under Beckman. All he gets is Ohio kids nobody else any good offered and are not Big Ten caliber players.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 02:01 PM) Yeah not on board with Cutler getting an average of $20M a year. Spend the money on the defense seems Trestman's system will work with a lot of Qb's.

http://www.news-gazette.com/sports/illini-...ll-be-back.html Banks will be back at Illinois, the youth crutch of 2013 is not going to fly next year... ....Only good thing is Beckman and Banks will both be fired after 2014.

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the White Sox will be fielding trade inquiries on Alejandro De Aza following the acquisition of Adam Eaton. Eaton will take over in center field, leaving De Aza without a position. De Aza is projected by MLBTradeRumors.com to make $4.4 million in his second year of arbitration this winter. It's not a bad price to pay for a guy that's batted .278/.343/.421 with 30 homers and 58 steals over his last two and a half seasons.

Jacobs no big loss. Still like the deal.

ADA is not going to bring much back in a deal.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 03:18 PM) For all the overrating and overhyping of Sox players that occurs here, Erik Johnson is criminally underrated. Erik Johnson >> Hector Santiago. Johnson can be every bit as good If not better than Santiago.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 02:50 PM) Its Soxtalk, where we want to make a deal and then have immediate buyer's remorse because our players are so much better than what we got back. I got no remorse I like the deal for the Sox. Santiago was traded at the right time.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 01:36 PM) Me either, at all. Santiago was a borderline SP to me. Maximize Santiago value in deal while he is wanted win for the Sox.

I got no problem trading Santiago for Eaton straight across.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 11:04 PM) You non stop complain about HHH, that's what I'm talking about. Suck it up, unless he dies or gets busted cheating on Stephanie, he is going nowhere. When he continues to do stupid things as head of creative I will continue to call him out on it.

McCown saved me tonight.........Thanks JC.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 10:20 PM) Fun last segment tonight Yes it was.

AJ is becoming a star.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 08:12 PM) They just need more talent on defense who can win individual battles. The offense is loaded at skill position. Draft will be heavy on the DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 08:06 PM) Not that I care if he stays, but with the current roster he has, I don't know what you expect out of this defense. I expect not to be last against the run. I get injuries but to be a sieve is another matter.

Mel Tucker needs to be shown the door at seasons end. Way too easy for Dallas.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 02:30 PM) omg you are as bad as the guy that used to come on this site and post how many times the Cubs were mentioned over the white sox. What are you talking about? HHH being promoted is a major topic in wrestling circles and a lot of people have reservations about it.

I like it he was starting to come around in KC before he got hurt.

According to The Wrestling Observer (via Wrestlezone, there is a reason why the match between CM Punk and Brock Lesnar was not nominated for the Match of the Year Slammy. While many within WWE feel it was the best match of the year, it wasn't nominated because CM Punk can't have a better match with Brock Lesnar than Triple H did. The Undertaker vs CM Punk had to be listed because it features Undertaker at WrestleMania. HHH cannot even lose a made up Slammy Award category yet he is in charge of creative now. HHH being in charge is not good for fans or business.

Getting rid of his contract would be great.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 02:05 PM) Wow, guy on MLB Network said Sale is a very strong number 2 on his way to a good number 1 starter.. What an idiot Dumbass media head.

Unless we get 3 stud prospects not marginal ones back to start forget about It. Sale's age and contract have to be maximized in any deal. Hahn holds all the cards. If that happens and the sorry shape of the Sox farm system, Hahn would have a real tough decision to make.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 10:09 AM) I've got a feeling the Sox are going to be pretty active. I hope so.
