QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 08:37 PM) lol@the lakers. Not even sure if they're a playoff team right now. The Knicks are f***ing good, though. Not sure what their record is since Woodson took over, but I know it's in the .700 range. If Amare can come back and not f*** s*** up, you have your only legitimate challenger to the Heat in this embarrassment of an eastern conference. The Knicks will regress back to the mean and big time. And agreed that dantoni is a joke.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 06:52 PM) Do I dare bench Bears D vs. GB in favor of Cinci tonight? I'd absolutely do that.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 11:39 AM) Sooooo....the basketball-only members of the Big East are about to dissolve the league, form their own and most likely poach Xavier, Dayton and Butler to join them. Hooray catholic league.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 12, 2012 -> 10:32 AM) pick two: alfred morris, david wilson, ryan mathews, felix jones, joique bell I'm leaning morris/bell right now. Morris is a no brainer. Then it's either Bell or Mathews.

Picking up the Lions was a no brainer, unfortunately I had a really low waiver priority and the person I'm playing picked them up. Hopefully that doesn't kill me.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 05:42 PM) Do most people play in 10 team leagues where 6 make the playoffs? I've played for 8 years or so and I've never heard of more than the top 4 making it. Even in the NFL.com league where we had 12 teams broken into 3 divisions, the first place team of each division and 1 WC team made the playoffs. I'm with ya, top 4 in my 10 team league get in.

First round of the playoffs coming up this week: Me: Brees Andre Johnson VJax Skittles Gore Tony Gonzalez Alfred Morris Justin Tucker Minny D vs the Rams Opponent: Brady Marshall Mike Wallace AP Bryce Brown Aaron Hernandez Trent Richardson Matt Bryant Pitt d vs Cowboys That Brady, Marshall, AP trio is just terrifying.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 10, 2012 -> 11:05 AM) That just sounds awful. A good bar crawl is 20 people, not 20,000 people. I hope none of you ran into this guy. It was a blast. But ya heard about Red Ivy, that's usually my go to bar in Wrigley as well but we didn't make it there on Saturday. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 10, 2012 -> 11:16 AM) done drinking #official I would love to quit drinking considering "eating clean" and working out does not exist for me during and a few days after binging. Buuuut I like to party. My bank account would also appreciate it.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Dec 10, 2012 -> 10:22 AM) You're either selling Olivo short or you weren't paying that much attention at the time. Olivo wasn't just "solid looking," he was an excellent combination of speed + power + defense from a young athletic catcher. He wasn't tearing it up at the MLB level, but he was ready to be there and learning. He had tons of value. Reed was a truly elite prospect at the time. Morse was a scouting type, but obviously one a lot of teams would have wanted to get. For a half season of Freddy Garcia that deal was considered a massive mistake by KW, yet it won him a WS. Freddy was extended and the package was a pittance compared to what happened because of the trade. This deal, given a year and maybe more of Shields plus Davis, is very comparable. As for this deal, again, the PROSPECTS DO NOT MATTER. Let me say it again THE PROSPECTS DONT MATTER The Kansas City Royals haven't had a 90+ win season since 1989. Yeah. 1989. They've had 3 "winning" seasons since then and won 83, 82, and 84 games. They've been absolute dogs*** for 23 years. Dogs***. They've blown it, time and time and again, whenever they've had a core to build around. They've finally something real that actually matters. People want to keep the prospects? Really? Guess what line of thinking got them into this mess? Kudos to KC. As a Sox fan I don't like it because it makes them a legitimate threat now and in the future, but as a baseball fan who also appreciates the sport, this is wonderful for KC and their fans. But again, Glass has to do his part. They're not there yet, but at least they're trying to get there. First off, everyone knew the Ozzie connection was going to make Freddy much simpler to extend. And yes we were all upset about losing Olivo and Reed but neither were in the same ballpark as what the Rays got. Olivo never put up huge numbers and while Jeremy was lighting the minors on fire he was still being compared to Mark Kotsay. And your line if thinking is just ridiculous, so as long as the Royals prove that they're trying to win this is a good deal despite the fact they're not going to be a playoff contender? That's just absurd.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Dec 9, 2012 -> 11:00 PM) Doesn't matter, their fans deserve to have a team that doesn't continually suck garbage all year long. This team could actually win 80+ games, something they haven't done in a decade. They no longer have to hope their prospects pan out and save them, because for the past decade, they haven't. If they add a couple more pieces, they could be the #2 dog in this division. I still highly doubt that. But whatever, lets say for a second that this does make them a .500 team and 2nd in the division, that gets them where exactly? If you're going to give up what they gave up, the big piece you get back in return better be a whole hell of a lot better than James Shields.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Dec 9, 2012 -> 10:31 PM) Rays also get Odorizzi, Montgomery, and Leonard. Rob Neyer tweeted it's the worst trade in baseball history. Over on a Royals board, some people are denouncing their fandom. lolz, that's f***in awful.

The Royals are definitely better but no where near a contender. Just a stupid trade.

I hope Drew Brees gets his s*** together next week.

Seattle defense has 38 fantasy Pts in my league thru the 1st half...

Welp I'm going to be the 1 seed in my league, to bad I have to face the hottest team in our league aka he has AP. fun stuff.

A good one I hope.

And boom goes the dynamite.

QUOTE (Joxer_Daly @ Dec 9, 2012 -> 10:25 AM) FFS! I had to google what Tbox meant. Could you feckers not just have said 'the 12 pubs of Christmas'. Ha it started off as the "12 bars of Xmas" but now it's a lot more than that. It's all of Wrigleyville, it's nuts.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 8, 2012 -> 07:18 PM) WTF is with you young people. Somehow never heard of this mysterious thing, then there's drunk people out at 8am. You're old.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 8, 2012 -> 06:41 PM) Tbox it Man did that put a dent in my wallet but good times.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 7, 2012 -> 10:07 AM) I know people love QB's but I think that Arian Foster and Adrian Peterson have had phenomenal years, especially Foster on a great team. Arian's averaging under 4 yards per carry. I think Peyton is the clear choice at the moment.

Ya, that's the best win of the season for anyone so far imo. Impressive, impressive win, congrats Illini fans.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Dec 8, 2012 -> 12:19 PM) Lincoln Park or Wrigleyville? Only been to the Wrigleyville one. New one in River North actually.

QUOTE (greasywheels121 @ Dec 7, 2012 -> 01:50 PM) I'm getting married tomorrow. Pretty damn excited. Daaaaaaaaaaaamn. Congrats and good luck buddy.

Toews likes drinking at barleycorn. That's all I got.
