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 (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.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 04:37 PM) I would agree. He has pushed past his innings from last year. That's what you like to see post injury. Building the innings. Do you think it's possible for his shoulder to loosen up more and regain some velocity, or is what we got this year what we're going to get from now on?

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 04:09 PM) My old townhouse is right there in the first picture. Good times, miss that place. Ha same actually. Do you remember what Apt number you were? I think we were Q8. Pretty crazy too cause we were there the first year Aspen was built and the back yard there was just a yard.

http://universityprimetime.com/southern-il...age-shows-epic/ And nobody invited me.

There's definitely a chance that Baez can be a complete bust but he's still ridiculously young too.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 02:42 PM) Eh, pre-draft there was a lot of people gushing over him, but I would need Quinarvy to put something together to see if it was just one superfan. Haha fair enough.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 09:55 AM) Holy cow he got a lot of that ball. Quick hands. QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 01:53 PM) Semien 2/3 with 2 2B 1BB 1K. Average up to .271! Gotta find some room for his bat in the lineup. He's really, really good.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 09:23 AM) Pretty clear from my post: "I just find the hype train on the board" How many people have really hyped him on the board though? A bunch of us have said he'll at least be exciting to watch cause he can jump high, I don't think anyone has went overboard saying he's a stud or anything. There have been more people here declaring him a bust than anything.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 02:21 PM) so the WWE financed "Leprechaun: Origins" got a 0.9 rating from IGN. quite an amusing review, im curious where this turd in a punchbowl ends up on rotten tomatoes It'll still somehow make them money though.

Ppr I take it? Looks good if that's the case. But there's no reason to have Joe Flacco, I'm sure there's better options available if you really want a backup qb on your roster.

I'm sure Danish is getting tired but he's also probably regressing a bit. The guy was so unbelievable for a while that he was probably going to have a few mediocre starts at some point.

QUOTE (beautox @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 07:39 PM) make that 0 for 0 with 3BB now at 50 walks and 55 strikeouts on the year at AAA as a 23 year old in 78 games; just remember though his celing is just a utility player.... Awesome. QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 07:46 PM) 2-2 with HR for Anderson Awesome.
