I hope Brandon Weeden wins the Heisman so the Heisman winner is older than the NFL MVP.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 11, 2011 -> 02:34 PM) Ah, the picture is a smiley face for me. And not even a very happy one.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 04:51 PM) Vlad's minor league OPS was .989, Viciedo's .784. Nothing Viciedo has done suggests his offensive ceiling is Vlad-like. Look at the leagues they were playing in at 20 and 21 years old. Viciedo made gigantic strides in just 1 season, he's got a ridiculously high ceiling.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 03:05 PM) I swear that names in baseball, and probably in general, are getting more and more ridiculous. It's like everyone is trying to outdo everyone else. Shut up Herbert.

Crazy Stat of the day: This is the first time in his college career that Kellen Moore has trailed at halftime.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 03:35 PM) http://youtu.be/1IdZkGnVBas Royce White is special. Knocked some of the cobwebs off today. Won 86-77, but ISU was up something like 26 in the second half and then proceeded to give not a f***. Team misses Diante Garrett though. Booker was the first big off of the bench. Hit a three for us. Ya I saw his stat line earlier, sick stuff.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 04:40 PM) Haven't had a Long Island in a long time, but I remember them tasting good on the way back up as well. Pinch actually had pretty good long island deals.

Are we really talking about trading Viciedo again? Do you just not like Cubans or something? Just f***in stop already.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 7, 2011 -> 07:18 PM) Weird, I just heard about these and am considering doing one in the spring. If you have a specific question or two let me know, I know a guy that does them regularly. Let me know if you're going to do that, I've been wanting to do one of these for a little while now.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 12:43 AM) Holy f*** grow a pair, at least drink a jager bomb or a beer. Long Islands are actually fantastic if you're trying to get wasted. Coming from a guy who took down 20 Jager bombs in 2 hrs, Long Islands are just as lethal.

Everyone on that Penn State campus deserved this loss.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 09:50 AM) Well, f***, I don't suppose anyone as actually looked at the problems in this trade. First, the White Sox HAVE outfielders. They may not be good outfielders, but they have outfielders. If we are still including Quentin, then they have two big upside bats, one expensive contract with high upside, one talented outfielder, and one jack of all trades outfielder. That's 5 MLB outfielders right there. Jacoby Ellsbury, him, yeah, I get it, he's good. He's not going to be 9.4 WAR good every year, but he's a legitimate 3-5 WAR player, every single year, given health. That's why it's a given here and not on the field. Josh Reddick is an outfielder. Why? Ranaudo was a college pitcher who struggled in his final season in college and did not do well in High-A this year, which is a level he should atleast succeed at, considering all of his factors. I won't rule him out, but, simply, no, no value at this point. In the meantime, the Sox give up their biggest trade chip, their second biggest trade chip, and arguably the most valuable player in the entire organization right now. Um, no You say "Ellsbury, Reddick, Ranaudo for Rios, Danks, Quentin, and Sale," and then we can talk. Until then, that is worse than any of the other hypothetical trades posted on here, which is exactly what it was. If Williams authorized that trade, then he would be canned immediately. Angry Wite is funny.

Transfer U in a battle with Lehigh. Book the first big off the bench, Heads?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 12:44 PM) I'm partial to Loyola Marymount Ya, UCLA will be quite dangerous come March imo but they might get upset a few times in the early going because of their guard play.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 07:49 AM) I can't believe how mad I was when he made that shot. The way Belmont was playing, I had tons of confidence that PG was going to win the game if they held on that possession. Austin Rivers has a lot to learn about the college game. Tried going around, over, and through double teams way too many times instead of passing the ball. I was pissed just cause I wanted some March Madness buzzer beaters in November. That was a fun game though, every time it looked like Belmont was done, they fought back. And ya, as talented as Rivers is, he made a lot of freshman mistakes but that kid is obviously oozing talent.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 11, 2011 -> 03:00 PM) So tell me how many times in the history of baseball a team has gone from 60 wins to a world series contender in one or two years? I'd venture to bet it is only a couple tops. Probably a lot actually.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Nov 11, 2011 -> 11:38 AM) Huh? There were two new episodes of The League last night? Yup.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Nov 11, 2011 -> 01:55 PM) BMS? Blue Mountain State.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Nov 11, 2011 -> 02:00 PM) Just noticed that with Milwaukee too. Same thing holds true with St. Louis. Would they sign Buehrle as a 4th/5th started with Carpenter/Westbrook/Garcia/Lohse Adam Wainwright says hi.

QUOTE (beck72 @ Nov 11, 2011 -> 08:35 AM) De Aza may turn out OK. I'm just tired of the sox thinking they can go cheap at leadoff ala Pierre, and get by without solid .300 hitters at the top, It's funny cause you literally just described Juan Pierre here. Pierre was semi close to a .300 hitter while not being cheap whatsoever.

De Aza is our leadoff hitter, our of is already set, the end.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 10, 2011 -> 08:10 AM) SIU got a commit from Travis Wilkins, a 22 year old kid coming back from his mormon mission. Supposedly a bigtime sharpshooter Lowery has actually done a good job of getting the talent level back to where it needs to be, lets see if we can actually keep these guys in a Saluki uniform for 4 years and lets see if Chris can coach them up at all, my guess would be no but hope like hell I'm wrong.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 11, 2011 -> 12:42 AM) Apparently, the offer is being taken to player reps for a vote. Take the f***ing deal. Also, Stern said a 72 game schedule would start Dec. 15 That's great for the Bulls, who aren't tool old and are deep. It's bad for the Celtics who will get tired due to age and the Heat who will run LeBron, Bosh, and Wade into the ground. 72-0, take that 96 team!

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Nov 11, 2011 -> 12:21 AM) Jon Heyman sounds like the #chisox are expecting to hold onto carlos quentin, talented yet inconsistent player who hit .254 Not buying it as that would make no sense whatsoever.
