QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 7, 2012 -> 07:29 AM) I'm a CM Punk fan but the bolded is just over the top. Where would you put Punk on a list of your all time favorites? I definitely like him more because he's from Chicago but he's not HBK or Austin but at the same time, last summer was probably the most I've ever enjoyed wrestling for those few months. Tough call.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Oct 6, 2012 -> 11:30 AM) But that's just it, he doesn't have better stuff. His fastball is faster and that's all I can see that he has over Quintana. That screwball isn't anything impressive. Hitters aren't supposed to be able to sit on your offspeed pitch and hit it 5 miles out, especially while still covering the fastball, and that's what happened during a good portion of his time spent on the roster this season. IMO fans are making way too much both of Quintana's fade after a heavy workload & Hector's Charlotte stats + performance in a couple of starts, 3 of which (vs. KC, CLE, MIN) were against bad teams in garbage time. Hector is a nice young player but let's not forget why he sat in the pen so long earlier in the season, why he was used the way he was after losing the closer's job & also how Leyson Septimo took his roster spot. All the Quintana trade stuff is kind of absurd, I mean, all people b**** about is how we don't have enough good young players, and then as soon as you get one you want to "sell high." WTF? Was he supposed to throw 200IP of strong baseball in his first full season? After having spent the previous season in A+ ball? LOL, this guy has 300 career MiLB IP and his MiLB career high came last year at a whopping 102 IP. Yeah, sell high. My ass. Hector clearly has better stuff than Q, the strike out numbers will tell you that.

QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 4, 2012 -> 11:27 PM) I think your post goes to show you that breaking it down by individual team W-L isn't an accurate way to look at it. Can't beat good teams except these two good teams and only beat bad teams except these two really bad teams. Maybe there just isn't a pattern... I could easily just say that if you flipped the records against Detroit and Kansas City that we look awesome. Ha exactly. That post was pretty ridiculous.

Quintana is tricky. No one can be sure if him fading down the stretch was fatigue or regression to the mean.

Gavin is what he is at this point. He's a solid middle of the rotation starter who definitely has more value than people on here give him credit for. That being said, he's not going to all the sudden become a top of the rotation starter and if you can get good value for him then you move him

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 4, 2012 -> 05:29 AM) The first few weeks are sort of slow because there are so many people and only an hour of TV time. Just stick with it for a whole year before making an opinion of it. And nice jinx on Boobs McGee getting voted off. I'm a fan of the hit brunette on red they barely show. Yikes, ya I f***ed that up.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 2, 2012 -> 01:07 PM) I'd say outfielders as well, there are 4-6 intriguing guys. But the infield in general is barren (with a couple exceptions), and I'm afraid we use most of the good bullpen bullets this year. I'm personally not a huge fan of the ofs besides Courtney. I actually like this group of pitchers though.

Dan Johnson certainly isn't a great baseball player but I will use this opprtunity to say that he should have played a lot more down the stretch.

Id trade Rios in a heartbeat. Wouldn't move Danks or Dunn.

Happy bday Jake and other guy

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 2, 2012 -> 09:46 PM) It's kinda depressing to discover your bald spot for the first time. It was a good run. Happened to me at 21, suck it up.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 3, 2012 -> 10:25 AM) Ill probably go the whole season with Revolution. I enjoy it and the acting doesnt really bother me as I think the focus is beginning to shift to Miles. Ya I like Revolution too. On a sidenote for the reality tv show fans, I figured Id give Survivor a shot since I love BB, not a fan, though I will keep watching because the blonde is smokin hot.

Didn't baseball end?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 06:44 PM) We really need 3-4 of those guys to have big years/improvement next year, that is a pretty sad group overall (obviously some talent, but considering how we develop pitchers at a decent rate it's pretty bare). This is actually the one group in our minors that I don't consider to be that sad.

Everyone on my team besides Andre Johnson and Brandon Pettigrew had at least one touchdown making it a very nice day for me. Thank you Brees, Lloyd, Gore, Lynch, VJax and Houston's d!!!!!

A Marty thread claiming to have inside info from a guy who is sometimes right and sometimes wrong followed by multiple posts from Greg? Quality.

I feel honored to be able to pin a Q game thread.

Can't do it on my phone but I'm game. HEADS, FIX THIS FOR ME

Marty you're honestly just boring at this point.

This will be a f***in s***ty year if we don't win this. It'd be one thing to be beat by a hot team but to cough this thing up to another mediocre squad would be awful.

The Punk-Foley promo last night was flippin awesome.

Ummmmmm

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Sep 24, 2012 -> 09:48 PM) 6-3 from det and 4-5 from us gets us the division Well that's not true.

Scary til the f***in end. WOOO

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 24, 2012 -> 09:44 PM) Hated that move. Love this one. Like I said, hate this move.
