QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 7, 2014 -> 09:51 AM) Baylor has no chance IMO. The committee hasn't liked them from day one, I doubt a home win over Kansas State suddenly changes everything. Years ago they set a non conference schedule without a BCS opponent and that's gonna cost them this year No argument, I'm just saying personally I'd have no problem with any of the 3 getting in.

I'm really ok with any of Baylor, OSU or TCU getting in, I think they all have pretty decent arguments. That said, I think it's going to be the Buckeyes.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 7, 2014 -> 12:55 AM) Honestly, pretty embarrassing for the sport of MMA. I'm obviously a huge fan of Punk but ya this is just a quick way for both parties to make some money. This is really something Dana hasn't done in the past but I guess with buyrates being down, he decided he wanted to bring in someone that will draw some eyes over.

I'm a big fan of most things Christmas but I HATE Christmas music. It's so bad and you're all wrong for liking it.

I think Byron Wesley s*** his pants.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Dec 5, 2014 -> 04:52 PM) So why did he leave $4 million on the table? Looks like the team that offered him that was the Astros so ya...

Quit being so bossy.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 5, 2014 -> 02:43 PM) Cheaper than I expected Ditto.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 07:23 PM) People like you are why I hate that sabermetrics have become so household. You just regurgitate some number you vaguely understand and it's concrete fact in your mind. Please explain to me, in your own words, how Q was better than Hamels last year. Please explain to me why Hamels is so much better than Q and you can't use stats cause those aren't your own words.

QUOTE (daggins @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 06:00 PM) FWIW most projection systems have Jose pegged for a sharp regression next year. Probably factored into Keri's thinking. I'm intrigued as to why this is? Has this been the case for the last few years?

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 05:52 PM) .Q is very good, but he's not on Hamels' level I think a lot of people would disagree with you on this.

Why do you guys waste your time with that guy? He's either completely delusional or just making s*** up to get a rise out of others.

Not happening. Don't worry about it. People in Boston apparently like their drugs.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 06:29 AM) I don't think Lester is going to do all that much for the Cubs. All that does is replace what was lost in Samardzija, more or less. The Soler's and Bryant's of the world weren't around yet either.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 11:56 PM) Wait an hour and it won't feel as good. At least that is my reaction to anything but a mcmuffin at McDonalds. This is how I am with Chipotle. It's one of my favorite things around but absolutely destroys me within the next few hours.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 11:25 AM) The rotation is the biggest hole. Pitching wins. Sale, Q, Greinke, Rodon, whoever gives you a chance to win all by itself.

A little disappointed that Wichita lost last night, was hoping SIU would give them their first loss this year.

Sixers only 2.5 back of the Knicks now!

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 08:50 PM) No s*** Sherlock! I'm posting in a drinks thread for the first time ever and no one is here to converse with me. This train ride is boring. Not even I get drunk on Wednesday's anymore.

This thread is really pretty pathetic for all of 2014.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 06:23 PM) BS 2005 happened. 3 million people showed up in 2006. Did 1.3 million of them go back to being mad about 1980? Please. If Sox fans are really still pissed about Harry Carey, the New Comiskey Park, White Flag, or any of that other BS, they really are the worst fans in baseball. The Rally Crede can only bring fans in for so long.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 06:35 PM) What does the lineup look like with Melky? I have it as: Eaton CF Cabrera LF Abreu 1B/DH LaRoche DH/1B Garcia RF Gillaspie 3B Ramirez SS Flowers C Semien/Sanchez/Johnson 2B I think you nailed it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 02:05 PM) I also keep forgetting Maryland is in the Big Ten. I will never ever get used to these new conferences. Davidson is in the A10? Ok. But yes, fun slate of Wednesday games and I'll be watching SIU-SIUe.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) Top of my list is a World Series game. Been there, done that. A US Mens World Cup game. A Bulls finals game A night SEC football game including tailgating and all that good stuff. I'm sure I'll think of more later.

Rondo has 2 points, 12 boards and 19 assists so far. Very Rondo of him.
