QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 19, 2013 -> 10:03 AM) And both him and Wade b****ed after every single possession. 98 percent of star players do. Basketball players are just whiny in general.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 19, 2013 -> 12:40 AM) The Bulls and Deng are apparently $5-$6M apart per year in contract talks according to Cowley. What in the hell is he demanding? Whatever, he's allowed to ask for the world, we just need to trade him.

Definitely an odd thing to make up but who knows. I won't believe random people on twitter until it's confirmed by a credible source.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 19, 2013 -> 09:08 AM) Was Lee's arm anywhere near Viciedo's? I don't recall it being that way, and if I'm right then if Viciedo could catch the ball as often as Carlos Lee, he'd be a much more effective fielder because he'd pick up some extra assists and he'd cut down on a lot of people taking extra bases. Lee had one of the worst arms I've ever seen.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 19, 2013 -> 07:51 AM) That rule will just lead to players lying about their concussions to stay in the game. Players do that all the time now. I know I would.

You guys see what Bargnani did today? The Knicks are just too precious.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 09:27 PM) Wow, Anthony Davis surprisingly returning tonight. Saw that, came out of no where.

QUOTE (rowand's rowdies @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 06:29 PM) Keep Viciendo AND De Aza, Adam Eaton is a balls to the wall player, and pays for it. He was out for a good chunk of last year. We will need De Aza, he's got a reasonable contract, and it a top 10 4th OF who can play any OF position. No need to trade low. What if Hahn can somehow trade Dunn and the DH spot all of a sudden has an opening (platoon w Konerko, yes I know RH/RH) and we can play De Aza in the OF and let him bat 9th as the 2nd leadoff man. Viciendo has shown streaks where he hits 4-6 HRs in as many games, is 24, and has his Cuban power bash hermano coming over. Let's let it ride on Red (Cuba). We can always trade them midseason for more anyway. I'm fine keeping De Aza around but not as a 4th of, that kills his value. Despite the low points of De Aza that people on this board remember he's still a good player who graded as a + player last year and he should have value if we attempt to move him. Trade him or play him but don't make him a 4th of.

Deadspin is on a roll with these today: http://deadsp.in/IoT9zmd

Ok seriously, why is it so f***in hard for people to say Alshon JEFFERY? Herm Edwardson just called him Jefferies on sportscenter. I just don't get it.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 01:59 PM) Javy Vazquez is my favorite pitcher to look at naked Interesting.

Snapchat can be a lot of fun.

Platooning him would be dumb. You either start him or trade him if he can actually bring legit value back.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 01:30 PM) They're both on my fantasy team, and that's all I have at the moment basketball-wise. That's fair. It made me sad when I saw it though.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 12:57 PM) And in comes Law Holmes to be better than anything on the station and sit in with Spiegs. I never get tired of him. Is your signature there just to make everyone sad?

I certainly hope Mac doesn't take Carmen's spot, that'd be garbage.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 01:06 PM) I wouldnt convince my kid to play football, but if they wanted to, I would let them. No point in living if our lives are just a padded cage. That would most likely be my choice as well as I'd be a huge hypocrite if I did otherwise.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 08:21 AM) I actually like JorDanks a lot as the 4th OF. I liked him for that role when the inexplicably signed DWise again too. Danks the younger is a plus OF defender that handles all three slots well, runs well enough to be useful as a PR, he's got a little pop with the bat, and he costs the league minimum. Can't write a much better 4th OF profile than that. I hope they can find a way to trade De Aza, and don't do something stupid like sign another Wise/Tekotte or the like to take that spot. Jordan is a perfect 4th outfielder. I'm with you 100 percent.

Besides Sale being under .500 and Scherzer having an insane record I couldn't even tell you what other pitchers W-L looked like. It's absolutely meaningless to me. Oh and good luck Gavin. I feel that you became an extremely underrated pitcher around these parts and hope you do well in Atlanta.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 11:46 AM) I also hate "look I'm traveling for work, and I had a BEER in the airport" I've traveled extensively for work for 7-8 years, there is nothing great about it at all. Ha my buddies and I did this when we went to NOLA for our buddy's bachelor party.

I banged my head against the ground a ton playing basketball growing up and am positive at least one or two of those resulted in a concussion(insert "that explains a lot" joke).

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 10:59 AM) The absolute worst group of people on Facebook is teachers. They are always griping about their job, sharing articles that tell people "I work all summer" (you don't), and apparently think the world needs to know that they're home whenever it's Columbus Day or Christmas Vacation and all that bulls***. Having a family of teachers, they're the absolute worst. Just do your f***ing job and shut the f*** up. Do I b**** when website traffic is down? Do I post "today I'm NOT WORKING because I took one of my 15 VACATION days. No b****es, I f***ing don't. f*** off, all of them. Definitely agreed about teachers. Granted, most of the girls I hang out with are bat s*** crazy but a lot of them are teachers and complain about their job day in and day out. On a side note, we are all b****ing a lot today as well.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 10:57 AM) I blame Lowery Works for me. I'll just keep doing that, makes my life easier.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 10:32 AM) Did they do it with a clever picture of them and a bun in the oven, or perhaps a dog with a tshirt that says future big brother? Because I throw up on those. One of them I don't remember but one was a stocking that said "baby last name" and the other was their 2 year old saying "I'm going to be a big sister."

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 09:23 AM) /end rant We never "announced" us having a baby on facebook and people were actually angry that we didnt. Ha ALL of my friends do that. Not including my Soxtalk friends, I've had 3 good friends knock up their wives this last year and they were all announced on Facebook. Two of them I knew beforehand and wasn't allowed to say anything to anyone and one of them I would have never known if it wasn't for FB and that was my best friend out of the bunch.
