QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 13, 2014 -> 06:27 PM) Better than a sure fire first ballot HOFer? That is a pretty gutsy call. Not just a sure fire first ballot HOF but a top 5-10 player of all time. I highly doubt it happens but hey, like you said, gutsy call.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 13, 2014 -> 04:07 PM) True. But Lebron can basically carry a team to the Finals. For all the dominance AD has shown, i'm not ready to go there yet. Also, for some reason I have this feeling centers have shorter careers, but I'm not really sure that's true anymore. I feel like Dirk, a more physical center than most, is still going fine and he's in year 16 and age 36. More meat-head takes from meat-heads on Rose: http://thebiglead.com/2014/11/13/donovan-m...t-derrick-rose/ Dirk's never been a center.

Memphis has been fighting injuries too. Teams have taken bad exhibition losses and bounced back fine in the past so we'll see. That said, they got Wichita State game 1 so not much time to get right

Actually building up Ambrose-Bray would have helped but ya they're missing a lot of talent right now. Always goes back to not building enough stars though.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 06:54 PM) That's pretty awesome. You must be walking on air. Well he just told you he was god.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 06:14 PM) Tavares was drunk when he crashed and killed his girlfriend, five times over the legal limit. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/official-tave...31608--mlb.html Awful to hear but definitely saw that coming.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 06:20 PM) Kluber winning is not a joke, not even close. If I had to pick between Kluber and Sale to win a game, it'd be Sale. But the Cy Young award isn't about that. It's about your body of work over a season. And Kluber's body of work included 70 more innings pitched. That's like pitching 10 more starts. That has a ton of value, especially when the guy pitching those innings had a 2.44 ERA, 2.35 FIP, and led the league in strikeouts. Yup. To me Sale is the 2nd best pitcher in baseball at the moment but his body of work this season wasn't as good as Kluber or Felix. This was the correct vote.

Why would anyone be mad about this?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 03:37 PM) Anthony Rizzo? Ha, touché.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 04:11 PM) The $17.5M per season isn't that bad. The years is what makes it bad. I am kind of surprised he didn't end up getting more. I'm sure it came down to him deciding between a 3yr 60 and the 4yr 75 or something like that. That deal in year 4 will likely be pretty bad, might even be in year 3, would expect him to be able to still be pretty productive in years 1 and 2. Who knows though. I agree with all of this.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 04:02 PM) Is that the phrase? I always that it was "I'll be damned" Gage has his own language.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 03:25 PM) rich hahn here, never heard of this chinese guy. ill take a look thx. I laughed.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 03:20 PM) To tell you the truth, I was kind of shocked the Tigers let it get this far. Interesting. Once it actually got out of their exclusive negotiating window, I figured he'd be out there for a while. I was obviously wrong.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 03:18 PM) Ken Rosenthal Sources: #Tigers close to re-signing Victor Martinez to four-year deal. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/532642930075648000 Didn't see that coming this early.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 02:55 PM) Nope, Soxtalk scooped him first. That's cause we're building a team to compete with the White Sox. Hopefully Rick doesn't find out.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 01:36 PM) Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 16m16 minutes ago #Padres are reportedly willing to listen on starters Kennedy, Ross and Cashner. Story via @Brian_Baker_: http://sbnation.com/e/6969326 Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 8m8 minutes ago Among possibilities #Braves are considering: Trading a reliever for a back-end starter. I wonder what kind of ridiculous package it'd take to get Cashner.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 01:37 PM) Maybe if he wasn't serving up 5 hours of steaming piles every week, people would have more fun at their events. Although, to his point, why would anyone go to something if they weren't going to have fun? I know he'd have to pay me a large sum of cash to go to any WWE event these days. Absolute junk, week after week. I'm still going to Survivor Series even with the awful card. I've never not had fun at a WWE live event so I'll pay a few bucks to go even if I'm not very excited about what they're offering me.

Ya that'll be amazing.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 01:20 PM) De Aza would be a much better fit. PASS. Ya lets get him back. Seriously...kind of.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 07:51 AM) Hoping for Watch ESPN app. It is on tv here so hopefully it'll be on ESPN 3 for you guys.

Wait, so what'd Derrick say?

Getting really pumped for Saturday! Been a long time since I've been to our opener.
