QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 17, 2011 -> 10:58 AM) RT @ProFootballWkly: Per @JasonLaCanfora, the #Broncos have traded WR Brandon Lloyd to the #Rams. They certainly could use him, they have the worst receiving core in the nfl.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 17, 2011 -> 10:36 AM) Let me say what I've been telling a lot of people. Matthew Stafford, while strong armed, is not that good (yet). Could he be, absoltuely, but he's still very inexperienced and isn't exactly dynomite. Calvin Johnson is and there defense is solid. Stafford makes a lot of bad throws, he's not that good yet, I completely agree. Calvin and Suh on the other hand are as good as advertised and in todays nfl you really don't need the best of running games to be a factor. The Lions aren't going anywhere, they're a playoff team and besides GB and NO, they might be the best team in the NFC.

Team Cokehead in 6.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 15, 2011 -> 05:51 AM) There's one thing to make that pass, and there's one thing to have good court awareness to make a pass like that. Alot of PGs in the NBA would either throw a bullet pass down low in the key in that situation, or look at said player. (and a defender might get back in the play) Rondo has always been one of the top PGs in the game as far as his passing (his I.Q., wingspan, awareness etc. is just utter worldly). But for a guy like him, I would have been more impressed if he was making consistent jump shots (or.. pretty much going Kevin Durant on an AND1 team). It was an exhibition game so that obviously makes it much simpler to complete. And yes Rondo is a great pg, never said he wasn't. Absolutely can't stand the guy but he's a very good player.

Still gotta win another in Milwaukee, not over yet...

QUOTE (Cali @ Oct 14, 2011 -> 02:24 PM) Isn't it just assumed that your ace should go 1-4-7* in any 7 game series to give you the best chance to win? All the pundits out there were saying it'd be tough to beat the Tigers with Verlander starting 3 games in a 7 game series etc. That's not always the best way to go especially when your pitcher has never done it before. It's really nothing to blame Leyland or Verlander for.

QUOTE (Felix @ Oct 14, 2011 -> 05:54 PM) Spoken like someone that never watched Johnny Flynn or Sebastian Telfair play regularly. Oh I have but that's oop is really not that difficult. Maya Moore could make that pass.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 14, 2011 -> 03:04 PM) Praise the lord no more Tony Pena. This QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 14, 2011 -> 03:21 PM) Wait, why are we just dropping Septimo and Lindsay? This

QUOTE (Felix @ Oct 14, 2011 -> 04:35 PM) I mean, say what you want about the NBA and Rajon Rondo, but there isn't anyone else in the game today that could do this: I'm pretty sure every pg in the nba could do that.

The 2 seasons that the Sox have made the playoffs under the KW regime, there were no expectations nationally(I say nationally because this board was actually pretty excited about the 05 team) so in that regard I actually agree with Marty.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 12, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) Before anyone starts talking about a new league, they are going to need to hire a bunch of attorneys to try and figure out if the players would be in breach of their playing contracts. Im just guessing here, but I cant really imagine a NBA contract not having a clause that explicitly forbids them from playing in a competitive league. But maybe the attorneys are stupid, but if they are smart there is a liquidated damages clause that states that if the player plays in a competitive league while under contract the damages are equal to the players salary. Once again I dont have the contracts, but I really doubt its as easy as finding new investors and starting a league. Are you talking about when the NBA isn't locked out? Because there are obviously a lot of players going to play in competitive leagues right now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 12, 2011 -> 05:14 PM) And yet I didn't hear them going after Cashman. They're paying a premium price solely for the "guy who broke the other curse." you know that. Cashman was never seemingly available. I'm certainly not going to argue your point as I'm sure that had something to do with it, all I'm saying is Boston has been the best franchise in baseball since Theo has arrived, it would have been silly for the Cubs to not look at him for the job.

Don't we all wish we could have a rally beer at work?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 12, 2011 -> 02:34 PM) If Theo had exactly the same career record and performance, except the Red Sox had won the world series in 86, would the Cubs have been so interested in him? Would he still have gotten $20 million from them? He won two world series in 9 years, how would they not be interested?

Ya, not very smart though that is the best quote of all time.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 12, 2011 -> 10:31 AM) Yes, I'm sure no tv station on earth would try to get the rights to that. lol. They'd have a tv deal in .00000000000000000001 second.

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 09:56 PM) I jinx things. That's what I do. Texas is good, they aren't 2005 White Sox good.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 10:33 PM) I wasn't the one who made a post concerned about one of his boring answers today. I was responding to it. I prefer funny showmen like Ozzie, but Ventura deserves our support even if he is very very very bland. Ay, NOBODY is complaining about him being a boring interview.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 08:42 PM) Finally something good from the AFL. It was a lot of blah for the Sox prospects. Saladino isn't playing very much. Ya, what the hell? The one guy I was looking forward to following in all of this isn't play a lot.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 09:24 PM) You think so? I thought last weeks episode was better. You and I seem to enjoy the exact same comedies, we just like completely different episodes, ha.

The guy is a great gm people. He's made bad moves just like every general manager but he's one of the best in the game. Huge get for the Cubs. EDIT: I'm actually also very interested to see what compensation Boston is going to get for him. If we could get 2 decent prospects for a not so great manager then you'd think the price for a top end gm would be pretty steep.

Best Tosh in a while.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 04:15 PM) I honestly don't understand why people think that is so insane. I think it's insane that that practice went extinct. But I see no reason to believe Robin would be any better today than had he started managing and playing his last two years, ditto girardi. There's enough to worry about as a hitter yet alone having to think about making managerial moves in game.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 10:16 AM) Loved it. Would have liked to see more Hulk smashing, so i am guessing it is being withheld for a reason Anyone got a link?

Between Frasor being thought of as a starter and his name being botched horribly, I don't think I can handle him on the team anymore.
