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.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 07:00 PM) Alabama vs FSU and Oregon vs TCU might be the most compelling matchups possible for fans not of any of the contending teams. Two teams I hate and two teams that are extremely fun to watch. Alabama would bone stomp FSU and Oregon-TCU would be beyond fun.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 06:31 PM) But like I asked earlier, why is Bruce a better option? Because he is a little bit cheaper? His splits show from year to year he will choose to be a bum either home or away, and be merely ok on the the opposite. I just don't see why you think Bruce is such a better option, unless you think the difference in pay is that big of a deal. No one will care if either of these hitters has extreme splits on the Sox but people are worried that Cargo is the hitter he's shown he is away from Coors. Obviously people have proven that hitters do tend to hit better at home but Cargo's splits are so ridiculous while playing in by far the best hitters park around that it's really quite the risk with his price tag and his injury history. For me personally that's 3 strikes and no thanks on Cargo.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 03:43 PM) For example: HOME .310/.416/.635/1.050 AWAY .265/.374/.474/.848 Still damn good on the road, can't say the same for Cargo.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 04:43 PM) Wow I would think Eric Chavez and Miggy Cabrera would have far eclipsed Damon Chavez immediately came to mind. Maybe there wasn't one thread but Aubrey Huff was talked about a ridiculous amount in 05.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 03:21 PM) As I mentioned in a different thread, there are much worse ways to spend a bench spot and $4 million than on Dayan Viciedo. Name 24.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 09:51 AM) I just dont get why he got buried. I want to know why, he was megahot when he won that Andre the Giant rumble. the very next day on RAW you could tell that they were done with that. I obviously don't know but I think it was just bad writing. They thought pairing him with Heyman was a good idea but he was starting to get over as a face and it just confused the audience.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 12:00 AM) I enjoyed the live podcast Austin did not give him all softball questions. Cesaro has hit the glass ceiling and he is toast . Everyone thought that way about Bryan and Ziggler too. He'll work his way back up at some point, he's too talented not to.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 10:19 PM) Vince just burying Cesaro I don't think he "buried" Cesaro. Just basically said he's not where they want him to be at. He's definitely out of touch with his audience but I don't think he killed Cesaro at all. QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 10:34 PM) Vince putting Punk in his place and doing it with class. Punk just looks even more bitter than he ever was. I think everyone agrees that Punk is bitter and you would be too if his stories are legit. Vince did nothing to dispute Punk's claims, just confirmed one of them. He didn't "put him in his place" whatsoever.

A Noelle Foley sighting!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 08:15 PM) I'd rather give Viciedo $4 million for 2015 than Nelson Cruz that crazy amount of money for four years. If nothing else, it makes it more and more likely that Saunders is gone, but I doubt 1) the M's plan to play Cruz full-time in the OF anymore OR 2) Saunders was still perceived to be a starter anyway, even without this deal. How is that a crazy amount of money in today's market?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 08:11 PM) No Figured you'd like that.

Meh, I do appreciate that Rick appears to be open to the media but I never trust what a gm tells them while he's trying to wheel and deal.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 06:42 PM) What? Who? NXT tag team. I never found them that exciting but they're at least a legit tag team.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 07:19 PM) GM thing is beyond stupid .................2 years ago Hornswaggle was shown to be GM .........Rinse and repeat and it's sucked the first time. It's definitely an insult your audience's attention thing. Storyline's are severely lacking right now, at least this tag team turmoil thing should be fun.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 03:07 PM) When Nelson Cruz was Tank's age, he was pretty turrble. Well lets get Tank some roids than.

I like Marcus better than Micah all together but the Sox clearly are in love with Johnson so it will be interesting to see how this 2b battle goes in the spring(assuming those 3 are still around).

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 01:45 PM) Winston isn't going to make it out of the top 5. Depends. Teams are definitely going to do their research on his off the field problems before taking him with a top 5 pick.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 12:42 PM) They tried, but he wasn't having it. So he quit and got a job in baseball. Ahh, this all makes sense to me.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 12:25 PM) While all those other guys were in the minors, Jeff was working at Best Buy. Duh. Did they make him cut his hair?
