I think Mr. Adams is going to shoot up the rankings this year. That kid is going to be a stud.

Aaron Harrison really annoys me. He's really bad most of the time but he just has streaks where he's absolutely fantastic.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 13, 2014 -> 11:33 AM) I think it's perfectly valid to complain about Cutlers lack of success and the problems in his game. I think it is pretty stupid to turn that into a complaint about what he cares about. Exactly.

Anyone else working Christmas this year? I told my boss months ago that I'd volunteer to work Thanksgiving and Christmas as long as I get New Years off so I can have my fun on New Year's Eve.

These are the type of posts that really make me want to see Jay Cutler succeed.

Ok LA we get it, we shouldn't have traded you.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 01:12 PM) I hate to defend Melo because I'm not a fan of his game but really, who here would leave $70 million on the table? I know it'd be hard for me to do that if I were in his shoes, especially considering that the team I'd be joining has a superstar that can't stay healthy and might never be the same player he was. Other than that, yeah Lol @ the Knicks I completely agree with you, just don't say you're all about winning. Don't get me wrong, everyone says that but I'd have so much more respect for some of these guys if they just said "ya, I'm not leaving that much money on the table" instead of lying about it.

That whole show was amazing. It's to the point where I kind of want guys like Balor, Zayn and Owens to stay in NXT so we get stuff like this and not have creative completely f*** them up when they get to raw/Smackdown. Great stuff last night.

He's back ha.

Heard Balor's entrance was amazing. I'll watch the whole show later tonight.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 05:45 PM) Are people so done with Viciedo that they'd rather go with someone like Jordan Danks, JB Shuck, Trayce Thompson, or some other NRI type of player? I'm not happy with Viciedo either, but $4 million isn't a ton in today's game (teams will pay $7-7.5 million on the open market for 1 WAR, and it wouldn't be surprising if Viciedo ended up at 0.5 WAR), and if the difference between getting a guy who could make or break the season is $4 million this season, Reinsdorf would make the move. He paid $4 million for one month of Manny Ramirez, and that was like 5 years ago when the value of money was greater than it is in today's environment. Thinking along the lines that we could use that 4 mill elsewhere. But you a make a fair point and that pains me to say since it's you.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 10:09 AM) anyone see the joke; Why did Lester choose the cubs? He was promised his Octobers off. Not really a good joke coming from a Sox fan unfortunately.

I'm not worried about their record at all, just keep getting people healthy and Derrick up to speed. Toronto and Atlanta will fall back to the pack at some point, Cleveland is still the only team to worry about in this conference from a Bulls fans perspective(assuming a healthy team).

Tendering Viciedo a contract is going to be the one mistake Rick's made this offseason from my perspective.

Clearly a glaring mechanical issue that Coop saw with this one. I don't usually cry "Coop will fix him" but this seems like a guy that Cooper is pretty confident that he can improve and this dude is already a solid reliever. This could turn out pretty damn good for us.

So one of the trainers at my gym put me through a work out today that JJ Watt does(obviously a lot less weight on the lifts). What I learned today is that JJ Watt is a monster and I am not.

Detroit can definitely hit, every other part of their team is suspect imo. That said, who am I to doubt them in the AL Central?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 11:03 AM) So if I look at the Dodgers...they have lost Dee Brown, Dude that played for the Celtics or Illini?

The front end of the bullpen is actually a little overcrowded now. Not the best depth in the world but there is a bit of depth there at the moment.

Have we ever had a left handed roogy?

Seems like a great trade. I really hope we bring Carroll back to be the long man in the pen and I'll be a happy camper.

I hear he smells bad too.

I was told his defense is starting to decline quite a bit, if he was still the Ichiro of old in the field, I'd be all about him despite the below average bat at this point.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 06:36 PM) Athletics nation is hilarious. In their opinion semien is an above avg ss for the next decade, phegley is a promising "mlb ready catcher" (lol ok he is literally the definition of aaaa) and bassitt and ravelo will contribute with long mlb careers. Get real guys it was a very avg haul with Semien keying the deal. Them talking about phegley is especially lol worthy. Come on man. Besides Phegley none of that is crazy. And I'm sure like any fan board, some people are overly optimistic and some are ridiculously pessimistic about the deal.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 04:09 PM) I think this is the final game in the Saluki/Ohio Valley Conference tournament. Oh we get one game off from them after this but we still have 2 games left against the OVC in OOC. Yup.
