Once again, the defense is getting taken apart. And our offensive line looks like crap. We move the pocket last week like crazy, this week Turner goes back to what he knows. Not much more time in the Turner(shoop) era. Hopefully Lovey joins him in the unemployed ranks.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 3, 2010 -> 01:32 AM) I agree with you on Silva. I dont think he was nearly as gassed at Rogan was saying either. Silva was smart for the beginning of the 3rd b/c it appeared he was trying bait Rashard into a slugfest and then trying to counter. He had his chance but didnt go for broke for some reason. Not sold at all on Evans either. I think Rampage KOs him and Machida or Shogun would've blasted his head into the 11th row. Semtex looked good as did Stout. Not a Lauzon fan so I was happy. JDS did what he shouldve done but now its time for him to face a capable grappler. I am actually a Lauzon fan, or a fan in general of good submission guys. Lauzon needs to get his cardio back. He got gassed pretty quickly. He needs to work on his striking. His ground game is definitely good enough. I agree on Evans. He is a knockout waiting to happen.

Why in the world would we change some of the best looking uniforms in baseball. I love the colors and the look of the current Sox uni and hat. Sure if they want to have an alternate Sunday uni sure. If its to replace the entire kit, then forget it. The black and white is a clean classic look. 3 Things better not change for the fan experience. 1.) Uniforms need to stay. 2.) the Opening montage needs to stay and DONT f*** WITH THUNDERSTRUCK. 3.) Black out must happen during the playoffs.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 29, 2009 -> 11:30 AM) Chris Williams had himself a game. The guy is a great athlete and is starting to show why he was the 14th overall selection. The future, with a veteran WR, for the offensive skill players is pretty bright. I b**** and moan about there in-experience but the talent level is there with Bennett/Knox/DA. We just need to get a quality veteran in house as well. The rookie mistakes will go away in time too. But man they were killer during the season. Stopped routes, wrong routes, etc. A Vincent Jackson on one side, DA on the other, with Knox/whatever as a 3rd down receiver/kick returner.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Dec 29, 2009 -> 10:50 AM) Can't they just get a win without any controversy? Low res shot looks like someone is inventing a controversy.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Dec 28, 2009 -> 11:10 PM) Well that's not checking DOWN, but yeah, point remains. Just repeating word for word what the mopes from Comcast sports said after the game. LOL

Cutler checked down out of a run play for that last TD to win it.

QUOTE (jenks45monster @ Dec 28, 2009 -> 04:59 PM) "This thread/poll is ridiculous." The way I see it, it means, this thread and poll are ridiculous, as is the poster who posted it. My points as to why I'd prefer Carter: - I'm not much of a Quentin believer. I wonder if he'll ever be fully healthy. - K's aside, look at Carter's power numbers. - Carter is cheaper and will be for a while. - He some of our current needs. I see your Carter's power numbers in the minors and raise you 2 years ago Quentin's numbers in the majors. Wake me up when Carter actually does something in the majors and not on some mythical grading system. Until they do it at the show, these rankings mean nothing. Quentin actually has shown his ability and god given skill can be turned into production at the majors. He was an MVP candidate until he punched something he shouldn't.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 20, 2009 -> 05:25 PM) please STF about jeff george. Last year he is a pro bowler, this year he is Jeff George. The only thing that has changed is he moved here.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 20, 2009 -> 05:07 PM) I was thinking that it is possible for teams to turn it around in one off season. It has been done, but probably not without 1st and 2nd round picks. Lovie coming back should help with the formula for instant success.

That goal by boston was setup because the official hung the puck up by not getting out of the way. That puck would of been cleared. It hangs up, an they get it in on net. Damn.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Dec 17, 2009 -> 01:52 PM) Thats nice and all, but for the last 2 years Ive been working in an electronics department where I get to stare at the tv's all day long. I agree with you on LED's being way too expensive currently but that doesnt change from the fact that they offer a clearly better picture and anyone who looks at one next to a 120hz LCD or Plasma can tell you the same thing. That being said, like I said before the Panasonic Plasma is probably next best after the LED's and a helluva lot cheaper. And like you said burn in and glare are not an issue like it was in the past. I would say that the LED backlit display is a brighter picture. However all things being equal a 240hz LCD versus a 240 LED lit are a very similar picture. The main difference is weight, and power consumption and possibly lamp life. In the end once you get above 120hz you really are at an overkill state considering that there are no general sources today that output to true 120hz and above. Most of these TVs input at lower rates and use frame stuffing or other types of buffering technology to smooth out the inferior source. LED is impressive due to its bright display. However its hard to justify the cost difference versus benefits of the LED over LCD or Plasma.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Dec 16, 2009 -> 11:56 PM) You really think Ozzie is going to put 4 righties in a row like that? BTW Teahen is going to be a stud here. Something is in the water here (or perhaps not in the case of flouride) but this is clearly the place hitters who have never lived up to expectations go to when they want restore their precious bodily fluids back to their natural states and thusly live up to those prior expectations which everyone on the planet except Kenny Williams and Ozzie Guillen believe are now impossible to reach. Don't stop believin.' I figure that AJ will be our 3 hole hitter so Ozzie can get his lefty/righty break. Not that I would do that, but Ozzie loves to break up the righties and Ozzie has hit him there before.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 16, 2009 -> 11:48 PM) Or just bat him 3rd. I would, however I don't think Ozzie would at this point.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 16, 2009 -> 11:31 PM) Exactly, so tell your best friend Ozzie that a fast, slappy leadoff guy isn't always necessary. Hopefully with the slappy leadoff guy in the fold, we don't handcuff Beckham into being passive while we wait for Pierre to steal. The entire purpose of Beckham being in the 2 hole is to see good pitches and to drive the ball into the gaps. I don't want to see Beckham turned into a bunting machine or just giving it up to move the runner. Beckham has a much higher ceiling and this year should be about him crushing pitches being protected by a hopefully rejuvenated Quentin. Watching him take crushable pitches waiting for Pierre to steal is going to be a waste. At that point I would rather move Beckham down to say 6th to get more out of him.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Dec 16, 2009 -> 04:12 PM) LED may have them both beat -- someday -- but right now LED's do NOT have them beat. First and Second generation techs are often "good" but nowhere near as good as they will be when they mature, and this is where bigger screened LED's are right now. A really good plasma or non LED will look superior right now, simply due to the more mature technologies behind them. Not to mention the bang for the buck you'll get right now. If you want LED, look to pay 2.5k+ (if not more) if you don't want really crappy tech stuffed into the box. I was looking at the LED tv's for a bit now. Fry's had a nice looking LED Samsung, but when it came down to actually doing comparisons with price versus value versus picture. I wound up picking up a 55 inch 120hz LCD. It was to replace an older 1st gen DLP that I have had for years. The picture is absolutely amazing and when it comes down to it, above 120hz people really can't tell that much of a difference. Very happy with my purchase. Remember also. The manufacturer is starting to become moot to a point. Outside of the service and support, a lot of these vendors source their parts and screens from the same pool of vendors. You will see that multiple vendors share the LCD technology and its the same as you move from vendor to vendor. Think of it as an OEM agreement.

QUOTE (lakervin @ Dec 15, 2009 -> 05:57 PM) nice addition,a real center fielder good work kenney Rios can play circles around Pierre in center. Having Juan play LF is your best bet when in the lineup.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 11, 2009 -> 04:46 PM) Pretentious asshole? You guys must see him on TV or something. I just read his stuff and think it's good ... and free. You are the only one. You and Joe are the only fans of his work.

"I like Ron Turners play calls. The 2 yard pass can turn into the 90 yard play. Just break some tackles."

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Dec 6, 2009 -> 01:58 PM) The Chicago White Sox are not the kind of organization that runs garbage players out as everyday starters in Center Field, sorry Andrew. LOL

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 6, 2009 -> 01:36 PM) I am fairly sure Trent Green just said the Bears have been "in" every game this year. I was just walking into the room, so I just barely heard it and may of misheard, but thats what it sounded like. He was talking about the mighty Rams.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 6, 2009 -> 01:04 PM) I know Forte has been crap this year, but why keep running Bell? Do not let the best run of his career fool you, he is not good. " Don't let silly things like stats and rushing rankings fool you. We are a running team" Ron Turner

Seriously, a fake field goal. I wonder if they consult the Xbox when they draw up some of these plays. My brother in law would pull something like this on Madden 10, however he plays retarded.

I am so sick and tired of the pub, we are a running team. No you run the ball a lot, but the worst running team in football is not a running team. I just wish we could run the ball enough to allow Cutler to use play action. If we had a decent running game we could get some big plays on play action. One of the worst running defenses in football is containing our bad running attack.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 2, 2009 -> 03:04 PM) Car salesmen are the reason that people dont trust me when I first meet them in a meeting. I HATE how dirty you feel after you buy a car because you know somehow they ripped you off. The best advice is above, get your financing on a price you want to pay, and others have paid, and if they cant give you that price, walk. The finance guy at the dealership is the guy that makes them the most money. This is a line I remember from Season One of Criminal Minds... "Agent Hotchner explains the car salesman's philosophy of "reciprocity;" they drop the price and the buyer feels obligated to do something for them. "
