If our coach wasn't such a loser than Bertrand to SIU would make a ton of sense.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 10:31 PM) Well said here. It's not a stat but Freddy was a flat-out winner last year and I love the idea of a 6 man for the 2nd half. Maybe that would help Gavin hold it together at the end. A 6 man rotation is just never a good idea.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 10:27 PM) Wait, people rushed the court for beating Illinois? I know Indiana is down, but damn, you're Indiana. That's just awful.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 11:08 PM) Norberto Martin was basically a light-hitting, utility IF who offered next to nothing outside of an occasional web gem. Mike Cameron Jon Rauch and Jim Parque Tony Graffanino

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 06:57 PM) I haven't watched every single game...but I've definitely noticed a big difference in the effectiveness of teh P&R against the Bulls comparing the games I watched in Nov., when they were being torched, and the games I've watched recently, where they use it but it's not a big time option. This. It's a night and day difference to be honest.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 03:12 PM) If we have the money for Freddy, then we had the money for Andruw Jones. QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 03:13 PM) I thought the "F" stood for "Fragile" ? ? Well for the reason you put in your next post, having a solid 6th starter could provide more value than a really good 4th of for this current Sox team.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 02:26 PM) I still think assuming he is healthy the Wsox should look into Duchesier(sp?) from the A's... Just to be a complete ass, that wasn't even close to correct. Duchscherer.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 01:12 PM) I disagree on this one...if either Sale or Thornton are going to be the primary closer, then the Sox still needed another lefty even if Peavy started from day 1. Exactly. Ozzie loves the matchup game too much to not have 2 other lefties in the pen if Sale/Matt are designated as the teams closer.

For real?

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jan 26, 2011 -> 11:35 PM) It was a decent game. Fredette is Reggie Miller like. He even got a foul call on a flop when he stuck his leg out. The rest of BYU is about as bad as you can get offensively though. He scores absurd numbers because if he scores only 20 they get smoked against anyone decent. Defensively they impressed me. I'll have to watch the return game because I think SDSU might be the better, more dangerous team in the tourney. They are. They're bigger, longer and extremely more athletic. Their problem is that they're not exactly the best jump shooting team, they rely on athleticism and defense, but they're certainly the real deal. And ya, BYU doesn't have a ton of talent outside Jimmer though Jackson Emery is a very good player, but it appears by the box score that he played like poop today. Thing is, Fredette is good enough to carry a team by himself to an elite 8 run or so, very Stephen Curry like if you will.

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Jan 26, 2011 -> 08:28 PM) This team makes me want to hurt myself. So depressing I just wish I'd stop torturing myself over this disgrace of a program. The last two games I've been at a concert and playing a volleyball game and I still make sure to get as many score updates as possible even though I know what's going to happen every f***in time. It's just sad, depressing, and Lowery just needs to go the f*** away.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jan 26, 2011 -> 11:09 PM) FWIW, the only Hawkeye I've ever heard associated with steroids is Pat Angerer. Is that how he got the extra 'er' at the end of his name? Jeez, I'm hilarious.

43 for Mr. Mormon! He's just absurd.

Jimmer is just going off.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jan 26, 2011 -> 09:49 PM) It's on CBS College Sports so technically it is on national tv. It's just not on a channel a lot of people have. Had it last year at school, of course don't have this year though, ugh. Jimmer torching the Aztecs per usual but Kawhi and company staying in it. Appears to be a great game so far.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jan 25, 2011 -> 09:30 PM) Yeah he went from under the radar to overrated. Agreed.

Escobar over Dayan and Mitchell, eh? Very interesting.

QUOTE (SnB @ Jan 25, 2011 -> 01:06 PM) IE: a ton of people said they "didn't care/watch" the mlb playoffs/world series this year. I was one of those people who said that after the Sox got eliminated in 06. I also can tell you that I really didn't watch any of the postseason until game 7 of the NLCS that year. Baseball is the only sport I'd ever do that for though, as my love for the Sox is infinitely more so than it is for the sport itself.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Jan 25, 2011 -> 12:16 AM) It´s unfortunate he has not been able to develop his offensive as quickly as the hype had made it out to be. He can be solid but for what we paid we have not seen a return at all. Well 2 years left before the ARB kicks in so let´s hope this year he does something. He's already made a ton of strides from the beginning of his first season, he's still got a long way to go but he's 21 for crying out loud, give him some time.

QUOTE (beautox @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 02:16 AM) I personally feel that the Rays and Jays will be sitting atop the east when the season ends. You are crazy, my friend.

I'm sorry but you just can't say a team isn't very good when they make it to the title game in their conference. I was one of the people all year who wasn't sold on them as a legit contender and yes they had some good fortune go there way but they still managed to beat 3 of the better teams in football this year and go all the way to the NFC title game, they were clearly a very good team, there's really no way to argue against that.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 10:02 PM) Unfortunately Pierre is god-like to Ozzie , one last remnant of his run and shoot offense. Despite his arm, he's a pretty damn good lf too. I know the popular thing around here is to hate on Juan Pierre and I'm certainly not a huge fan of his but he actually is decently important considering him and Rios have to cover a lot of freakin ground to make up for Q's ineptness out there.

QUOTE (everafan @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 10:04 PM) The guy had it coming and was acting like an ahole. What was he doing? And one of these days Oney is going to mouth off to the wrong person and get what's coming to him as well, no doubt.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 08:22 PM) Kurt Thomas is turning back the clock! I think he put on "The Jersey" and turned into a young Karl Malone tonight. And yes, I just made a Disney Channel tv show reference.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 07:37 PM) I've been a die hard Steelers fan my whole life. I was disappointed to see the Bears lose, but I wasn't completely surprised. To be honest, I wouldn't have been surprised to see a Packers/Jets Superbowl. Glad that didn't happen, though, because I would have had to root for the Packers. Here's a question...and I'm not trying to start an argument: If the Eagles had made it to the Superbowl, would there have been as much hate towards Vick as there is towards Roethlisberger? I'm not defending Roethlisberger, because he obviously did something to get suspended. We will probably never know the whole story since there were no charges filed. But, like Vick, I think he paid his dues. They both have seemingly learned from their mistakes. As far as the game, it's going to be tight. I'm thinking it will come down to the last few minutes. For a change, I'm going to predict a defensive play that ends it. Steelers 20, Packers 16. Vick and Ben are both scumbags. If Ben did indeed rape that girl than there's no such f***in thing as paying your dues.
