QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Jan 5, 2006 -> 10:59 PM) I don't want to clutter up the board, but would it be possible to have a recruiting thread? It could be seperate for b-ball and f-ball, or we could just combine them in one thread. I dunno, it might just be me not wanting to let go of college football yet. I think that's a fantastic idea.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jan 5, 2006 -> 10:33 PM) And as Jico implied, ERA isn't that good of measure of a pitcher. Not as bad as RBI for hitters, but still not very accurate. WHIP is better K/BB is good K/9 is good DIPS is great ERA is blah Personally, I think ERA+ is a pretty good measure of pitchers worth. ERA+ is adjusted for park and league averages, which makes season's like Garland's, Garcia's, Count's and Buehrle's seem that much better. The Sox were second in MLB in defensive efficiency though, no doubt that helped all those guys' ERA+'s Those are all secondary stats to era when it comes to looking at a pitchers effectiveness. If you think k/9 is more important then era then..wow.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jan 5, 2006 -> 10:28 PM) Over 70% of you guys predicting over 95 wins. Pesonally, I think that is crazy, not that crazy, but still crazy. The pitching staff comes back to earth as does the defense; the offense is slightly better: 93 wins is good enough for a playoff berth and then anything can happen It's crazy to imagine that a team who won 99 games last season and has improved in the offseason will win 95 games next year?? Yup, sounds pretty f***in crazy to me.

There needs to be a warning sign on juggs posts, my head is killing me.

Auggy almost has a triple double.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jan 5, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) I think one full year. It is.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 5, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) So is that lost hope for this Spartan fanatic? Still very much alive but Illinois is just playing suffocating d.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 5, 2006 -> 09:16 PM) I am not really watching as I am in the newsroom at work, quick recap for me someone, please. Dee Brown isn't missing. That's all you really need to know.

SIU with another solid win over Indiana State. So here's how I see it, Indiana State beats Indiana, SIU beats Indiana State, so.....SIU>Indiana.

QUOTE(Random @ Jan 5, 2006 -> 07:20 PM) ILL BOO

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 5, 2006 -> 07:06 PM) Sam Ryan > Erin Andrews Incorrect.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 5, 2006 -> 06:36 PM) Um....what, the, f***? So I'm checking out at Office Depot getting some stuff for a school project, I'm like the only one in the store. She hands me the bag and I turn to walk out. Then she goes, "Did you know.....Jesus loves you." I was like ok and proceeded to leave... WHAT IN HELL? She's lying. Jesus hates you.

BP's credibility goes down more and more by the day.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Jan 5, 2006 -> 03:28 PM) Calhoun is better. SB Haha, I knew that was coming.

Just a random question: If Troy Smith played the whole game against Texas, are we talking about OSU as national champs today?

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jan 3, 2006 -> 12:46 AM) Not everything. But it's pretty damn close. Ya....no.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 5, 2006 -> 02:35 AM) I only have two words to say about this stuff. BO GUS ^^^ I almost wish we could play these guys a few games and just beat the s*** out of them so this non sense is quieted.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 5, 2006 -> 02:31 AM) Tub of Goo!!!!

..and I'm Bartolo Colon. Boo.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 5, 2006 -> 01:56 AM) So it's closers you dig, eh? Dustin Hermanson is your White Sox dream date. Show up in bell bottoms and maybe he'll let you shave a flower into his head. He's cheating on me?

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jan 5, 2006 -> 01:20 AM) But Vince isn't leaving. Even Mack Brown talked about it and he said he fully expects young to be back. Vince is a goner.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 02:18 AM) If we can get Qualls than I like the deal much more... especially if you add in a prospect. But is Qualls or the prospect even rumored in the deal or are people just saying what they want? That was me just throwing it out there. Taveras isn't going to be the only one the Sox get for JC and Qualls makes a lot of sense because he's a good, young, cheap reliever. Hirsh is just their top pitchign spect so again something the sox would want. That's just me making s*** up though.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 3, 2006 -> 11:06 PM) Burke did play some 2b last year also? Still, I think the Stros do have to move someone for pitching, especially with the Rocket likely gone. Burke is a natural 2b but Biggio is still around.

THE KICK IS GOOD.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
