QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 04:02 PM) May have to rethink my allegiance. http://www.wwe.com/inside/wwe-divas/nxt-su...ion-lana-photos I like Lana but I still have her 4th in my favorite current diva rankings. Because you know, everyone ranks their favorite divas...

QUOTE (lord chas @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 04:04 PM) What ever happened to half price Mondays? Drunk's killed it. I'm not sure if that's true but probably.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 03:54 PM) White Sox sign Willie Bloomquist and they insert him at 2B and the leadoff position immediately. Willie Bloomquist puts up .478/.576/.878/1.454 line, wins the league MVP despite not being a qualified hitter for most major statistical categories, and the White Sox stun the Tigers, winning 55 of their remaining 66 games, and they end the year with a final record of 100-62. Not much of a prediction there.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 03:13 PM) Let's get those predicts on-line! Whatever you want to throw out there... Sox final record - Average Abreu final line - Good Sale final line - Good Who gets traded - Somebody Who do the Sox bring in - Players Any odd ball predictions - Hawk says something smart etc

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 03:32 PM) Deal should be done already if so. If I am Minnesota I would take Wiggins, Waiters, Bennett, Miami's #1 next year and another 1st rounder for Love in a heartbeat. If the Cavs are willing to include Wiggins it'll get done at some point, probably just some negotiating going on with what other players/picks will be going with him.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 02:40 PM) This year, Sale is at 93.4, Kershaw is at 93. Not a huge, huge difference. Seems they both sit in the 92-95 range, with Sale reaching peak velocity a little more often. Had it in my mind that the difference was a bit more. Nevermind, nothing to see here.

Sale throws a bit harder than Clayton too, right? But ya, I'm not arguing against Kershaw.

I miss Rocco Baldelli now.

Mine is this thread. Seriously though, I have nothing against Dylan, he did the best he could and that's all Jesus could ask of him.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) Sale ranked #11 in FanGraph's trade value rankings, the highest rank pitcher in the majors: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2014-trade-value-20-11/ Love.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 12:25 PM) Pure guess here... Either Beckham or Jon Rauch. Don't think Beckham got that close to the top 10. Rauch or Borchard are probably good guesses.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 10:56 PM) No offense, but SIU was in such a shambles you have to wonder why Barry took that job. Is there any way in hell he can turn that program back around? You guys got any good players yet under Barry? It was the only head coaching job he'd get. And yes, he's doing a very good job so far turning around the program but the weak scheduling does no good for anybody. QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 05:52 AM) He's already turning it around. Kyle, Rowand, and myself talk about it right here every year. In fact we are thinking about starting our own web based show or podcast with weekly staples such as "What else could Lowery screw up?" and "What job is Torres Roundtree holding this week?". Gonna be huge! A podcast of us 3 talking about SIU basketball and wrestling, imagine the ratings! QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 06:37 AM) You should look into his previous job at MSU. Barry took that job because he needed a job as much as the Salukis needed a coach I hate lowery so much Yup. Yup.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 04:06 PM) Absolutely...I think some people are still wrapped up in the loss of Melo and thinking the result of it is an underwhelming/undeserving Bulls team. Like others have said, this is a a Bulls squad that went 33-16 after trading Deng, now they're adding Rose, Pau, Mirotic, and McDermott to that team....They should be really really good....if healthy The thing is nobody gives a damn anymore what they accomplished in the regular season. They're definitely improved, no doubt but we'll have to see just how much.

If both teams are healthy the Bulls and Cavs are probably your two finalists in the East but when pg death happens who knows...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 02:28 PM) If Hibbert and George play like all stars then that's a 2nd round capable team. Of course, I'm counting like 5-6 2nd round capable teams in the East and can't figure out who will get beyond that at this point. (Cavs, Bulls, Pacers, Wizards, maybe Bobcats, Heat, maybe a surprise or two somewhere). Toronto.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 12:03 PM) Patton went to SIU-Edwardsville, in case anybody here may recognize the name. And Frasor went to the real SIU. How about that.

Best players we can regardless of position. Sure catchers and pitchers would be nice but just get the best players in here.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 07:37 AM) Exactly. I still don't get why it was a big deal that the game in Miller Park tied, anyway. I miss when they used to "goof around" and have fun during the All-Star Game. The NHL and NBA do All-Star festivities right. Also, MLB needs to find something other than this conventional HR derby. Did anyone sit through that 4 hours? To me the NBA allstar game is a ton of fun to watch cause everyone knows it's just a show and the players have fun with that. This whole the game counts thing but we're still going to have fans vote and kind of try but not really is beyond stupid.

I say we have Krush ump every game then we wouldn't need instant replay!

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 11:33 AM) So the Pacers starting backcourt is currently George Hill and CJ Miles....yikes...And we think the Bulls have guard issues. The Pacers are irrelevant at this point.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 11:32 AM) LOL. Somebody was pessimistic and overly worried about the Konerko signing. Well in your defense, his 17th homer came on June 3rd, so you were almost right.

You guys suck at making predictions. I can say this because I had no idea what to expect out of him and was to big of a p**** to make a prediction.
