QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jan 29, 2016 -> 08:20 PM) Hawk is very confused. He just decided to combine his 2014 and 2015 numbers. If only that's how baseball worked, Hawk.

Avi apparently got booed? That kinda crap pisses me off so much. I don't want the dude starting either but it's not like the guy is lazy and doesn't care about his job, don't boo him at a fan convention. Awful.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 29, 2016 -> 03:39 PM) Expiring contracts aren't really that valuable anymore given the huge jump in the cap that's coming. Plus there's no shot the Bulls blow this up when there's a small chance of beating the Cavs and getting to the Finals. There's a 0 percent chance the Bulls are getting to the finals. I agree that they're not blowing anything up but they're not getting to the finals either.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 09:25 PM) No. And I need to make up my mind whether to buy mlb.com this year. I don't think our offseason acquisitions make us a contender. I have zero confidence in Robin's ability to get the team to overachieve. Sox desperately need one more stud hitter to go with Abreu. Abreu almost single handedly gives me a reason to get the mlb package though to go with Sale and Q. QUOTE (LDF @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 09:31 PM) if the sox do nothing else, i will not by mlb.com or direct tv or anything that could show sox baseball. if they get an of'er i will buy something. if they get an of'er and a sp.... i will fly into chi for several games on 2 separate times to catch the sox games. I don't think mlb.com is for sale, guys.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 08:17 PM) Lucha Underground good first ep tonight for season 2. Still don't like the woman vs man element but whatever I'm happy it's back and I agree fun first episode.

NXT tapings tonight that lead all the way up to mania and holy hell that takeover card is the best thing ever.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 12:12 PM) I'm fairly sure we're well beyond spoilers in this thread... This thread was actually made so we didn't have to spoiler tag anything.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 11:18 AM) That's how I viewed it, too. At least from what we were told through the show, most of his crimes were relatively minor until the supposed murder. It certainly sounded like the judge was including the rape. To be fair, covering a cat in oil and throwing it in a fire is pretty sick. But yes, I agree with you guys that it did sound like the judge was including the rape. The more I continue to read on this I'm starting to convince myself that he indeed might be innocent. I still have no idea to be honest.

Ya the Saladino one is the one that surprises me most. I think our catchers managed correctly are above average so not surprised there but I think those projections are a bit optimistic on Tyler. Nice to see though. But yes, go get an outfielder please. Please. Please.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 03:49 PM) The 13 year old boy inside of me hopes LJ Hoes is claimed by the White Sox just so I can giggle at headlines like "Sox claim Hoes" "Sox invite Hoes to spring training" "Sox need Hoes to step up game" The 28 year old me wants them to claim him for the same reason.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 09:36 AM) Um, they have played one of the weakest schedules in the entire country (337 out of 351 per Kenpom, RPI isn't as good of an indicator but they are 291 there as well). The ooc schedule was embarrassing. Barry scheduled to try and save his job and he might have done just that. Still, this is the best team we've had since we were a good program and they seem to be improving as the season goes on too. 2 of the next 3 are Evansville and @Wichita so we'll see what happens. If I had to guess we'll lose both but I'm just wired to be pessimistic about SIU basketball at this point. QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 10:14 AM) Speaking of Northern Iowa... they beat North Carolina and Iowa State... but lose at home to Loyola and Drake, with the latter blowing them out? Now that's an odd team. And this is a team that's just getting worse and worse. Obviously it helped a ton when they caught UNC and ISU because of injuries and what not but still, it's pretty crazy what's happened to them.

Be interesting how the hell they book that triple threat at fastlane cause facing those two is going to get Roman booed out of the building again.

They're finally doing the divas stuff right, makes me happy.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) I think maybe drop in to Corbin if Sami is up? Probably about time an actual development talent won it. I think Corbin is getting Aries on that show. Sami and Joe have a number one contender's match at the next taping so we'll probably see what's going to happen after that.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) Sure seems like WWE is in no rush to bring up Finn Balor. I'm guessing Anderson and Gallows will go to NXT first and do a storyline down there? QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 12:29 PM) If I had to guess Finn drops the title at the NXT wrestlemania show and debuts Monday on the main roster. Agreed. I thought they'd have him turn heel with the bullet club guys and drop it to Sami but not sure now if Zayn is on the main roster. I have no interest in the 2 main events we're getting but if KO-Styles or KO-Sami is on the card and Sasha wins the title I'll be happy.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 24, 2016 -> 10:24 PM) Eh I liked how Brock went. Wyatts were monsters in the match and took 4 guys and cheating to take him out. Fitting. The only problem with this is we're about to have the exact same Bray Wyatt story again where he loses to Brock at mania. It's just annoying. Oh well, like Brian said we knew it was going to be Reigns or H, I'm just happy Sasha is back!

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 24, 2016 -> 01:19 PM) We know it'll be HHH vs Roman at Mania but if that isn't the title match, what will be? I think with the depleted rosters, the only way to make it an interesting unpredictable main event is to do a triple threat but they just did 2 years ago. Brock vs Roman vs HHH. Book it! Kevin Owens damn it! But yes I'm sure we're getting HHH-Reigns title match.

Kershaw then Sale for me. He was probably the 5th or 6th best pitcher last year but overall he's the 2nd best in the game, imo.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 23, 2016 -> 12:00 PM) Alright, Lets get this b**** to 400 and lock 'er down before Chisoxfn goes on a mega thread rampage LAST CALL f*** that, I say we just merge every thread on the front page of PHT into this thread.

Can't wait to throw out Dude Critic right away only for Cactus Critic to jump right back in at number 3.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 11:02 PM) God knows I have too many posts in this thread that were anti-Cespedes, but for those that wanted him....would you have been ok with paying him 27.5? Why the hell not? If Jerry is fine throwing down 27.5 for a year why would I care? It's not stopping the team from spending going forward and we at least have a chance at the playoffs with that roster. No brainer to me.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 09:21 PM) Yeah, the NBA doesn't work that way. It's not like baseball, where you have an excess of pieces you can move across multiple levels. NBA teams have 12 guys. The Bulls have very little in terms of desirable pieces. In fact, I would argue the only tradeable piece the Bulls have is Gasol. Well that's Garpax's fault to begin with.

The NXT Twitter already spoiled it but just in case

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 03:46 PM) I don't think so. Thibs isn't going to interview just anywhere. I'm pretty convinced he'll be the next Lakers coach. Yup. QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) Thibs is a great coach people. Yup.

I'm cool with adding rotation depth but the 1-5 is just fine.
