This thread sucks.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 09:40 AM) How are they average? He has Calvin Johnson and Dez Bryant. That alone makes his WR core above good. Honestly, you didn't do bad. You have to clear out your bench of RBs though and get some backups. Overall though, RBs normally are the hardest group to predict. I usually draft them last nowadays because you're bound to find at least 3 backup RBs who turn out to be the starters on their teams and end up being studs. You also have 3 highly rated RBs who just fall off the face of the earth. Outside of Foles, I like your team alot. I was being sarcastic. Didn't think that needed green.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 06:38 PM) Semien is just ridiculous right now He really is.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 01:47 PM) Wasn't Rodon considered the most polished college pitcher in the draft last year? I've read up on this DJ Stewart fellow and he sounds legit. People might have argued Nola going in, which gets us right back to the polished vs. Low ceiling discussion.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 11:51 AM) apparently too much surgery is bad for the heart. who knew I think her heart just can't take looking like a human cat.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 12:01 PM) Let's all think back to last winter, and having the Bears play some games in January and February. Terrible idea. I don't want to watch snow football in below zero weather, even if I'm not at the game. I'd rather have a good product out there to watch on TV. I think you're the only person that doesn't like snow games.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 10:41 AM) He didn't win last year cause Cabrera had one of the best offensive seasons in the past 10 years and Cabrera won the triple crown the year before. It didn't have much of anything to do with making the playoffs, it had everything to do with Cabrera putting up offensive numbers the voters couldn't turn down. I didn't agree with Cabrera winning it in 2012, but I can't fault the voters for voting for him since he won the Triple Crown. I didn't mind him winning it last year even though Trout out-WAR'd him by quite a bit. Eh I'd bet that if you flipped the Angels and Tigers in the standings the last few years then trout would have won at least 1 MVP. Not saying it's right but I bet that's the case.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 10:01 PM) Someone please explain to me without using WAR why Trout supposedly has a huge lead over Abreu. Yes, he is a good baserunner and he fields well, but hitting is the biggest factor in MVP voting, and Abreu has more HR, RBI, and a much better AVG. He's a better player on a better team, not that hard to figure out.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 10:11 PM) Drunkbomber's ppr league plus some other different rules. QB- Cam RB- Ben Tate RB- CJ Spiller WR- Calvin Johnson WR- Dez Bryant TE- Jason Witten Flex- Antonio Brown D- Arizona Bench WRs- Torrey Smith, Brandin Cooks RBs- Stephen Jackson, Lamar Miller, Shonn Greene, Terrance West Your receivers are very average.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 07:10 PM) Only 12 GB of the wildcard. That's much less than 1 game per day. Stat head.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 06:11 PM) This thing called the internet http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/506359-jak...s-in-icu-update Never heard of it. My twitter feed/wrestling sites I usually go to weren't on it so I was just curious. Thanks. Hopefully he pulls through.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 05:57 PM) Are you sure you're following the person? I will not live to believe that a professional pitcher can be exempt from starts just because he was friend zoned by a girl? I mean wth is the girl thinking about? Looks like I found my new excuse to call off work.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 05:55 PM) Jake Roberts in the hospital. Fading in and out of consciousness. Damn. Where'd you see that?

Didn't see that one coming but I'm all for it. Something fun and new to watch.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 11:18 AM) Where are you playing Micah Johnson? At the ugh please don't take Semien's spot, position.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 11:07 AM) Danish, Hawkins, Anderson & Jared Mitchell. 3 1/2 first-rounders; does that get Stanton? I feel like Anderson and Danish in a package should get us to any discussion table. Nope.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 08:58 AM) 12 team, I've never made the playoffs in this league. I've never had a good draft. I fell on the bad side of a TE run (also 4 TEs were keepers) QB-Foles WR- Cobb WR - Victor Cruz RB - Adrian Peterson RB - Lamar Miller TE - Cook/Graham (not two TEs, just not sure which to start) Flex - TY Hilton Bench - Hyde, Watkins, Jeremy Hill, McFadden, RGIII K- Prater (autodrafted, sigh) DEF - STL D - Patrick Peterson Who was your 2nd round pick here?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 01:21 PM) Sergio Santos DFA'd again. No one will pick him up, and Toronto will surely pay the buyout. I bet he is one guy the Sox will want back for a look next spring if no other team does anything crazy. Has his stuff diminished or is he just a head case at the moment? If the arm is still there I'm all for giving him a chance on the cheap.

Jurko sucks but I like Waddle.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 09:50 AM) One million times 999,999 times.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 09:47 AM) Really nice to see the way that K rate has dropped. The bb percentage increase is awesome to see as well. Dude is just an awesome hitter who apparently can adjust very well to the major league game.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 09:16 AM) Was looking up Abreu's first and second half splits this morning because while it's obvious that he's not hitting for as much power, it still seems likes he's been no less effective. Anyway, I noticed something interesting. 1st half: .292/.342/.630/.972, 6.3 BB%, 23.4 K%, 162 wRC+ 2nd half: .361/.438/.534/.972, 9.8 BB%, 18.3 K%, 169wRC+ Funny that he's gotten to an identical OPS in such drastically different ways. In conclusion: stud. That's pretty crazy actually. Good stuff.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 07:55 AM) The homerism in this thread is ridiculous lmao. There's really not much homerism going on in this thread at all. I think you can be completely objective and say the Sox and you can be completely objective and say the Cubs, it really is a close call. Hell, if you want to believe fangraphs you can say that the Sox have 3 of the top 50 most valuable players in the majors right now, that's a pretty awesome core in place just right there. Like Buehrle>Wood said, I've also defended the Cubs rebuilding plan just as much as anyone around here but when you take everything into you can make a fair argument that the Sox have a better group of core players, just like you can make a fair argument that the Cubs have the better core.

Both have a chance to be really good.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 05:31 PM) I'm old because I don't remember those first town houses. Must not have been built. They weren't. First year was 07.
