QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Dec 28, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) Is Garland tradeable? I thought teams had to wait a certain period of time before trading a player after signing him or extending him That's only for free agents, since Jon was still under our control trading him would not be a problem.

Well this is good news to wake up to and I got to admit I was completely wrong about Jon, I thought he was gone for sure after this season no matter what. I will say though I still don't want to trade Jose he's just to damn good to trade imo.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Dec 27, 2005 -> 02:57 PM) According to both easports.com and gamestop.com, shipping will start as early as Jan. 17, 2006. I'll be placing a pre-order for $29.99, will you? Yessir.

QUOTE(Pods70Rowand33 @ Dec 27, 2005 -> 02:04 PM) my bro told me that when you go to the u.s. cellular store, when you see the trophy that you need to sign up for stuff. is that true? No.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Dec 27, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) I hated Rodman Why?

As much as I love Aaron hopefully Anderson won't allow this to happen.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 27, 2005 -> 12:07 PM) If Schilling is healthy I like there rotation a lot more. However, I saw nothing out of Curt last year to show me that he was going to magically be better. I saw him planting and from what I've heard he was really having trouble everywhere he went. When your a power pitcher, you can't afford to have a bad ankle. You get a lot of velocity from your leg strength and your ankle is what you use to push off and effectively get that strength from your legs. Curt wasn't able to do that last year and I don't know what would change for him to be able to do it this year. Because of that his velocity was way down and his pitches were hanging up. Curt is done.

Happy bday guys.

I'm Dye's game winner in the clincher.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Dec 27, 2005 -> 12:19 AM) Most Bulls fans don't want him, but he is good. He'll lose you more games then he wins you by far. Not only is he the worst defensive player on the team, he has the worst shooting percentage on the team and his shot selection is just horrid. Ben sucks, plain and simple and I hope we can dump his ass somehow.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Dec 27, 2005 -> 10:08 AM) Pictures of the bowling ball, as promised...luckily I was able to find pictures of someone selling the ball on Ebay, so I didnt have to bother taking them myself. Holy hell, that's f***in awesome.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Dec 26, 2005 -> 07:12 AM) On Brady, yeah he only threw 3 passes in his 1st "official" season in the NFL, but then of course the year after he was thrown in when Bledsoe got injured and led them to the superbowl. Point taken on Elway etc. but c'mon you have to admit those guys had more way more potential and talent at the time then Kyle Orton. Kind of like Alex Smith really (he hasn't a good year but he hasn't been put into a situation to succeed at all). Orton didn't win those "9" games. The defense and running game of the Bears did. My argument all along was that for the Bears to have a shot at getting thru the NFC and to the Superbowl, they had to make a QB change to Rex. And they did that, and now you can see the results. The defense of the Bears wasn't to their usual level today, but Rex made plays on those deep balls, and you can see how much of a difference it made. We're just not putting Orton up on a pedestal, and saying he's the greatest rookie QB of all time. Right now, if you were asked who the future QB of the Bears was, you'd have to say Rex Grossman, wouldn't you if he could stay injury free? Rex is much more talented that isn't even a question in my mind. My only thing here is how some people are just saying Orton completely sucks, you just can't say that after a qb's rookie year. If people are going to give up on him after one season that just isn't very smart cause Orton could become a solid qb. I'm not arguing Rex vs. Orton, Orton just wasnt as bad as some people make him out to be when you compare him to other rookie qb's.

The only Non-Sox thing I got was a Larry Fitzgerald jersey.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Dec 25, 2005 -> 05:47 AM) I got to open my hanukah presents on friday and I'll open my christmas presents this morning though my mom already bought me a split season ticket package for christmas. For hanukah I got 4 sox t's, a sox sweatshirt, the sox pride dvd, a sox wallet, sox monopoly, the world series card set, a sox plaque, and a Jenks jersey. All sox stuff, it was perfect. My dad likes me much more now that I'm at college. So besides this and the split season ticket package my mom got me, she also made me this book with all the newspaper clippings from the playoffs, it's actually very well done, it's very cool.

Some of you guys act like you've never seen a rookie qb play before. Grossman is much better right now that's not even a question but every single rookie qb struggles with a few exceptions. DBAHO, I'm not sure if all those stats you threw out there are legit because I know Brady didn't play as a rookie(if he did it was a few games). How many rookies started 14 games out of those guys you threw out there? Also, why not throw out some of the qb ratings of the all time greats such as Elway, Montana, Fouts. Outside a few games, Orton didn't turn the ball over and that's what he was asked to do. Obviously the Bears are a much better team with Rex in there now but it's pretty ridiculous for people to say Orton sucks after his rookie campaign where he won 10 games. This is coming from a non-Bears fan, who couldn't care less about either QB.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Dec 25, 2005 -> 06:40 AM) Now this from the Boston Herald; Is it the cool thing in the AL East to have a surplus of 1b/3b's?

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Dec 24, 2005 -> 03:53 PM) the ref was right on top of him so nothing could happen. So ridiculous, let the guy have some fun.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Dec 25, 2005 -> 06:04 AM) That's just bad luck. I'm the joke of one of my leagues for trading Larry Johnson back in October. How about this for bad luck: My top 2 qb's were Bulger and Pennington(we start 2 qb's in our league) and my top 2 wr's were Javon and Darrell Jackson going into the season. The only things that kept me alive were Chambers and the Bears d.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Dec 25, 2005 -> 05:03 AM) Oh and Julius Jones, he's BACKKKKKKK. Ya, great, he starts to play well again once I'm out of the playoff picture for fantasy. :headshake

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 25, 2005 -> 01:39 AM) Yes, they are. I know you love Pods and all but in general SBs are overrated. Stolen Bases are severely underrated on this board.
