Rowand44

HOLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY f***

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 05:31 PM) My main question is who the f*** thought it was a good idea to put Xavier players behind a microphone? The fight was bad enough, but that made it even worse. "We gotta bunch of gangsters in the locker room." "That's what you're going to get from Cincy/Xavier." What the f*** were they thinking letting them talk? Ya, Lyons was just as bad but they didn't show as much of his presser on ESPN. Not exactly the most intelligent guys.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 02:30 PM) If you mean it's Rose's city in the way it was Wade's city and that any superstar that comes in by default becomes the "2nd" star, I guess I can agree with that definition. The Bulls would still be considered Rose's team by the media, Derrick would still be getting more endorsement deals and he'd still be seen as the face of the franchise, stuff like that could absolutely matter to a guy like Dwight who seems to like to be the life of the party.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 02:51 PM) The last time Aaron Rowand was on the Chicago White Sox, they won the World Series. Coincidence? I think not. Of course not but back than Aaron was the best baseball player in the history of life.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 02:16 PM) Big fight supposedly in the X-Cinci game. I was watching the whole game until of course I went to go get lunch in the last 3 minutes or so when the fight happened, apparently Yancy Gates caught Kenny Frease with a good one, I'm intrigued to see this. Actually a legit fight for a sports fight. Gates bloodied up Frease pretty good.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 11:05 AM) And there you have it. The only reason people are against is exactly because he is Aaron Rowand. Teams bring in washed up vets all of the time, especially ones that are trying to teach kids how to play the game. There's just no reason to have him unless they think he can sell some tickets. Lillibridge is literally better in every facet of the game at this point, it's just a pointless move.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 11:42 AM) If 2nd fiddle means being the most important cog then I agree. Nothing against Rose. But there's guys out there that can do what he does. There's nobody out there that can do what Dwight does. He'd be 2nd fiddle to Derrick in this city, whether he'd be the most important cog on the team, well that's definitely up for debate but there's no question that he'd be the 2nd "star" on his own team and that might be the reason he doesn't want to be here, who knows.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 9, 2011 -> 09:17 PM) Got charged my for P90X2 today...must be shipping now...Anyone else order it? Let us know how it is. I'm starting my spring break diet and work out plan on Monday. One last weekend of fun and then a lot of hard work for the next 4 months.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 09:00 AM) Meh. I don't really buy that at all. Howard is a 3-time DPOY, 3-time rebounding champion, a top 5 finisher in MVP voting the last 4 years and he's already led a team to the finals. He'd be at worst 1A. Many could argue that it'd be Rose that would have to take a backseat to Howard. Chicago is just not a desired enough destination for elite free agents. I thought back in 2000 it was due to the huge stink leftover from the premature breakup of the dynasty. But other than that, we can't seem to lure the big boys. We end up with the Ben Wallace's and Carlos Boozer's of the world. This is Derrick's city and team, he'd absolutely be 2nd fiddle here.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 9, 2011 -> 07:33 PM) Apparently Greg Oden suffered a setback and is likely to miss the entire season. Jesus. Yikes. I really liked Oden and I was a huge fan of Roy, what that team could have been, too bad...

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 9, 2011 -> 07:24 PM) I graduate college tomorrow. I won't live past tomorrow night. Hell, I may not survive tonight. Congrats buddy, enjoy it, seriously, f***in enjoy it.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 9, 2011 -> 01:06 PM) That's the sentiment I'm hearing a lot. "Somebody will close." Unless the guy is an instant sensation, that means 2-3 guys will each blow 2-3 saves before they are replaced. That's considered a mild disaster in closer-land. ADDISON REED

Yaaaaa the Angels are the best team in the AL on paper now, not sure how anyone can say that they wont win a WS in the next 10 years.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Dec 9, 2011 -> 04:52 PM) IMO, I don't think its pretty damn cool to be making jokes about the Penn ST scandal or any child sexual abuse case... If people want to make sick jokes about child sexual abuse, I am sure there are plenty more websites that can fulfill people sick minds but lets talk about the White Sox on this site. Get off your high horse dude.

He's fat so people don't like him, just like Jenks.

They forgot SIU.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 9, 2011 -> 04:12 PM) Ha. With friends like you, who needs enemies. Haha, he wants to be a legit sports writer, he better be able to take abuse when he writes something awful, and unfortunately for him that's all he does...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 9, 2011 -> 03:57 PM) I already made fun of that article earlier today, LOL. It's just terrible. He's already gotten mad at me on FB for tearing other articles he's written to shreds. I didn't even know where to begin on this one so all I said was "This article is just silly, don't even know what else to say."

Ya, so one of my friends wrote this article. Good kid but he's one of the worst writers I've ever seen and he has a complete lack of sports knowledge, enjoy and please leave comments on how big of a moron he is: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ycn-10640141

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Dec 9, 2011 -> 01:45 PM) What new promotions would you start? I would have a Michael Jackson night.. It would bring in a lot of inner city kids and new fans to the ballpark. Bringing in kids for a Michael Jackson night...

I love Gottlieb.

Come home to see this thread and it is on page 56. Ugh maybe the athlete I respect the most right now playing for a manager I couldn't have less respect for.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 07:38 AM) You guys are ready to instantly hand a starting spot to Lilli? Sample sizes aren't big enough. He should definitely be allowed to compete with Beckham for the 2b job, but he's handed nothing. Rowand fits as long they are willing to play Lilli at a few positions. And with a player like that, you get the most value out of him that way (unless he wants to prove even more offensively than he did last year....) Who is handing him a starting spot? He's a much better 4th of at this point than Aaron, it's not even close.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 09:26 PM) It's kind of odd, being born and raised in Chicago, but I absolutely despise the "city-life" and could never really live downtown in a big city. I have to be near the outdoors so I can fish and/or hunt. Chicago I could probably put up with because it's what I know, but there's not a chance in hell I could go to New York City or Los Angeles or Houston. I know quite a few people like that, just completely different than me ha. I love "city-life" and can't wait to move to a big one. Oddly enough, I was not a big fan of LA when I went there but Chicago and NY are my favorite places I've been and would be the perfect places for me to live, hopefully beginning in April or May of this upcoming year.
