QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 18, 2014 -> 05:37 AM) Stevenson is lucky they played us so early because despite an awful QB, Warren's O is clicking and have won 5 straight. :crying

So Cena-Orton is going on last at HIAC. Ha ha ha.

f*** you heads

It's not like they needed him last yr(I know he had a good sb) but still very strange. Weird for the Jets too as I'm not sure why they're trading a draft pick for an injury prone wr when they suck. Odd all around.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 17, 2014 -> 12:12 PM) Cruz and AP for me as well. Thank God for Rodgers, Olsen, n Bradshaw. Bradshaw has been a life saver for me. I actually wasn't too down about the Cruz injury because I have Odell Beckham and think he might break out pretty big now.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 17, 2014 -> 12:06 PM) I've endured the AP debacle as well. But I stead of being down, I want to prove my GM chops and shine thru adversity. AP, Victor Cruz and Dennis Pitta for me in my main league. Go me.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 17, 2014 -> 11:30 AM) When I get bored I typically look at Redfin for houses in my area or near work, just to see what's out there and to explore new areas. I was looking at some northern suburbs near where I work and happened to notice prices start to drop incredibly in an area, turns out it's North Chicago. Anyone have any idea why that suburb is so damn cheap? There are tons of houses under $75k, granted they aren't top of the line and most need work, but to even see property that cheap in the Chicago area seems surprising. I know in the past it wasn't exactly the greatest area around.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 17, 2014 -> 12:43 AM) If by mid-tier, you mean top 10 annually. He's got Carson Palmer right now. Unless you're in a 2 qb league then top 10 is mid tier in fantasy football.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 16, 2014 -> 07:40 PM) Well the purpose of this thread was to generate ideas for this off season, and I think it has worked so far. Having good, quality discussions on potential players. Thank you. My idea behind CarGo is that he's still young at 28. There's 3 years left on that deal with a good amount of money on it. I look back on it, and maybe it is an overpayment, but if the Rockies chipped in some money, you still know they are going to ask for those types of players, hell probably even Anderson. He had one bad year last year, he hasn't had a year with an OPS under 850 before last year and his rookie year. Yes, he is injury prone, but that is the risk you take to get a quality left handed bat still in his prime. Sorry Joshua that we don't agree, but CarGo is a fit for the White Sox. Especially if the Rockies chipped in money. People are also worried about Cargo cause his home/road splits are pretty one sided.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 16, 2014 -> 06:12 PM) First of all, welcome to modern day MLB. You're literally not moving on from high strikeout guys, they're all over the place. Secondly, he had a down year, with some major fielding issues and injury issues, both of which went to the plate with him. He's 27, at that age its entirely possible he could pull things together next year. Hell, he could probably be even better if he stays healthy and is put in the right setting. He's not the greatest hitter in human history, but he shouldn't have a very high price, he would fill a need on our team, and he'd be less of a long term money commitment than most of the other DH options. He ought to at least be on the list. Yup, all of this. I'm not giving up Semien and Beck for him but if you can get him on the cheap, he's the perfect fit for this team as he hits righties extremely well.

If we plan on competing next season then he breaks camp with the team if it was my decision.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 15, 2014 -> 02:26 PM) Anyone else see the amazing Tosh/Lane Kiffin sketch last night? One of the best things he's ever done. I love when he deals with sports issues. Good stuff.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 14, 2014 -> 04:49 PM) Not a fan of the Richard Kind casting in Gotham. Only complaint. I didn't love Monday's episode. Certainly not bad, just not as good as the first 3.

QUOTE (LDF @ Oct 14, 2014 -> 06:30 PM) Mike Rosenbaum , MLB Prospects Lead Writer Sep 24, 2014 top 100 prospects. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2209149...rankings/page/8 20. Carlos Rodon, LHP, Chicago White Sox 38. Tim Anderson, SS, Chicago White Sox 76. Micah Johnson, 2B, Chicago White Sox Maybe I'm just late to the party but I wasn't expecting Anderson to be that high on any list. Obviously means nothing but fun to see.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 15, 2014 -> 01:04 PM) without looking that had to be 04, Maggs went down the year before his contract was up and walked away as a FA to detroit replaced by Dye, Thomas had the foot issue that kept him out until June. IIRC 2003 was the year that Konerko and the offense got off to a terrible start. Ya, I'm pretty sure that was 04. Anyways that 03 team after they traded for Robbie and Carl was so damn talented and nothing. The offense was loaded, we had 3 of the best starting pitchers in the league and Damaso/Flash were absolutely unhittable aaaaand nothing. If it wasn't for 05 I'd still be super, super pissed about 03.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 15, 2014 -> 09:12 AM) Remember when the Sox swept Cleveland to end 05 and went in to the playoffs ready to roll? I dont think it is farfetched to believe that at all That wasn't the Sox that swept the Indians to end 05 that was the Charlotte Knights.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 15, 2014 -> 10:35 AM) Remember when Jerry Manuel started Neal Cotts instead of Buehrle on short rest in Yankee Stadium and Cotts got his ass kicked? Good times. I think we lost the game Buehrle started the next day anyhow. I remember the reasoning being that we had already won 2-3 against NY so we were going to save Mark for the next series. So dumb.

Laughs out loud.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 14, 2014 -> 05:19 PM) Reading up on Smithpeters on the Saluki message board, and it is known that there are no police charges forthcoming, he violated the student code, and it is non academic. But, it could result in a 2 year ban. What the hell did he do? No idea and that board is really annoying me with how the people in the know refuse to say anything.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Oct 14, 2014 -> 09:47 AM) You can speculate on who was clean but there's no type to identify. Ryan Braun and Roger Clemens cheated. So did Alex Sanchez and Guillermo Mota. The 2005 Sox probably had some users; I bet every team still does. Trying to worry too much about it will just drive you crazy. I can guarantee you the 05 Sox had multiple users. I couldn't tell you who but there's no chance they were clean because no team was.

I must read up on the Civil War story in Marvel, sounds very cool.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 14, 2014 -> 09:46 AM) I think there is more of a tendency for this to happen when you don't live where the team you cheer for plays. I'm still a huge Bears fan, but since moving away, I notice not being constantly in the Bears incubator of water cooler talk, sports radio, local news, etc., sort of allows you to have more diverse interests. That makes sense. I know for me that there are some teams I care so much about(Bulls, Sox, SIU basketball) that there's just no way I could actually root for another team in that sport.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 13, 2014 -> 10:29 PM) Sup ham face. Made me a legend around that apartment.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 14, 2014 -> 07:33 AM) I thought Raw was great last week outside the last 30 minutes. Really enjoyed the matches. Orton-Ziggler was awesome and Rollins-Swagger was damn good too.

Well SIU fans just when things are looking up for the program it appears that Smithpeters did something really, really bad. Fantastic.
