How great of a playoff performer was he actually? Serious question as some great moments tend to overrate these guys that get labeled as "clutch" or whatever...

Well 2 say he's doing well, 2 say no and 2 don't care's.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Sep 26, 2014 -> 01:00 PM) I don't because it really seems like his stuff declined, rather than him simply failing to put it all together. Had to be an injury. Ya he's done unfortunately, unless his stuff magically comes back of course.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 26, 2014 -> 10:43 AM) Also worth throwing out there, if it hasn't been already, Q ranks 9th among pitchers in the whole league in WAR. That almost feels a little silly to me, but it's true. He's nearly 2 whole points ahead of Shields who is probably about to get paid 3x as much as Q is being paid. Yup. A big reason why a lot of us think it makes 0 sense to trade him especially with our lack of starting pitching depth.

Good news Illini fans...you guys made the Championship!

What I took from that story is that Greg Norton golfs righty. Seriously though, very cool story.

SPOILER BELOW... Prince Devitt made his debut at a NXT taping last night, new name, sorry scs.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 26, 2014 -> 02:44 AM) I have never understood the Jeter hate. He basically is hated, not by what he does, but because of the perception the media likes him too much. Personally, I wish he had his first ballot HOF career with the White Sox. I've never hated Jeter cause I don't hate the Yankees like a lot of people do but this week has been rather annoying. That said, we all knew it was coming so oh well.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Sep 25, 2014 -> 10:10 PM) does anyone actually like wite That's racist.

Kirk Cousins clearly shook up from last night's South Park.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 25, 2014 -> 09:37 PM) God f***ing damnit. The game started off so great with the leadoffs HRs from Markakis and De Aza. Then Jeter got that RBI double and it was the most amazing and classy double you will ever see in your life, and doubles will never be the same after this season. Then he has that error and everything was looking awesome and hilarious again. I was so excited to see him have a 3 error game and be awful. Then enter the 9th inning, Girardi decides not to pull Jeter on defense to get his 20-minute standing ovation. Robertson then blows the game, allows Jeter to bat again. First batter gets a hit, is bunted over to 2nd, and Jeter delivers a basehit to RF and the throw is terrible and the game ends on a walk off. f***ing makes me sick. I hope he plays in Boston and his career ends on a strikeout or a DP. I hate Derek Jeter so much. Good riddance. You mad bro?

Mike Carey still really sucks at this job.

I'm all for Ackley and Butler if that means we're using our resources on acquiring a top line starting pitcher. And no I don't know where that pitcher is coming from, just throwing it out there.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 25, 2014 -> 01:34 PM) @aroux94: Jawun Evans' mentor tells me there won't be any "prima donna" press conference announcement for Evans, decision likely next Wed or Thurs. Kind of "prima donna" of him to say that

I suck at being sentimental but I was at game 2 in 05 and that'll always be one of the best moments of my life. Thanks PK and good luck with whatever you decide to do after baseball.

Goodellbot was perfect too. Good stuff.

Happy Derrick won. Also heard South Park was pretty good tonight, excited to watch that in an hour.

Meanwhile, Ray Lewis...

Aaaaaaaand I still hate Jocasta. Zach seems to be the only one that understands that this is a game.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 05:07 PM) [Meanwhile, inside greg's brain] [Does fact add up with rant?] [No] [Fact ignored] [Repeat original rant in slightly different form] I won't even get into the argument but I just like how your point was proven on the next post.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 12:41 AM) My D just exploded. That was a pretty damn fun 5 minutes. QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 02:21 PM) I could never suspend disbelief enough to buy a girl beating a guy in that type of match, no matter how hot she is. I think in general you have to suspend disbelief more in indy wrestling as far as the matches go.

I love me some Sammy Watkins but he is a Bill after all. Need to get more for Skittles.

I don't want either.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 10:59 AM) Haha, this crossed my mind. I do know his password. But two wrongs don't make a right. Ya but being an asshole is so much fun!

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 08:29 AM) The guy was overrated as a SS but has well over 3000 hits, 20 years with the same team, all those rings, was a model teammate, and never in a controversy. Let him have his fan fare. It's not Jeter's fault other teams are doing stuff for him. People who complain about this are more annoying than the actual fan fare. Why is Olberman still on? I've said it a lot but I think he's overrated and underrated all at once. The media certainly overrates him but there's also angry message board people like us who I feel underrate the guy because we're annoyed with the media overrating him.
