QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 14, 2010 -> 11:33 PM) He's one of the best center's in college basketball. Oakland has a very talented team and they have one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the NCAA. Absolutely. Every f***in game it seems like they're playing a top 25 team.

Keith Benson of Oakland a couple of years ago was thought of as a lottery pick. His draft stock has taken quite the hit but he's still a pretty talented player that'll be on a NBA roster somewhere next season.

The 4 playoffs teams from the AL in 2010 have just had miserable offseasons so far.

Watching that Phillies pitching staff vs. that Red Sox offense in the World Series should be interesting.

QUOTE (scenario @ Dec 13, 2010 -> 12:15 PM) Because one year of stats are always a good way to measure value. Yeah, I get it. Never mind that Rasmus struck out at a Jordan Danks like clip. Or that in 3 of the last 4 year, Buehrle has had an ERA below his career average of 3.85 In his 2nd full season in the majors. Do you think Rasmus has peaked at the age of 24? Colby Rasmus is their Gordon Beckham except he probably has a tad higher upside with the bat. He has much more value than Mark Buehrle at this point.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 12, 2010 -> 01:16 PM) I think that White Sox fans probably enjoy this video. Why the hell couldn't that have happened when the Twins were actually playing there?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 12, 2010 -> 10:22 PM) DeSean Jackson is such a f***ing f***head Yes he is and I f***in love it. Him and McFadden carried me and got me into the playoffs today for fantasy!

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 11, 2010 -> 08:41 PM) What do you mean by "new"? The roof caved in during a storm a couple of years ago and the "inland hurricane" finished it off.

It didnt matter anyways since USC and Texas went undefeated. Pretty excited about Golden being hired. Turned Temple around and he is a young, energetic coach with a blue collar mentality. We'll see how long he stays once JoePa dies. Here's your new coach, Zen. I love "The Final Countdown" playing in the background around the 2:10 mark. That was quite disturbing.

QUOTE (Mattchoo @ Dec 12, 2010 -> 10:00 PM) MB is going no where unless he is traded to St Louis. My proposal is the following: MB for Colby Rasmus. TCQ for Matt Garza Sign two relievers. Offseason over. Ya that'd be nice. Too bad the real world isn't that great.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 10, 2010 -> 08:17 PM) Have fun at ISU Rowand! Have a drink for me. Fantastic time.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Dec 10, 2010 -> 02:09 AM) The League was awesome tonight. The 1st part of the 2-part finale was the best episode the season, even better than the Halloween episode. "And then she told a girl to take a ride on her suck stick" Agreed.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 07:44 PM) So I have a serious question for the MVC fans on the board. What is the reason that the MVC is so bad this year and why it has been on a decline the last few years (UNI last year notwithstanding)? Generally I assume it isn't recruiting in a mid major like it was for the Big 10 when the Big 10 was down so is it coaching turnover and bad hires? Well, Lowery has destroyed our program all by himself. Dana Altman left Creighton and he was the best coach in our league for years, and SIU and Creighton pretty much made the conference what it became so having those two programs not in the spotlight has to be hurting a bit. UNI and IlSU lost key players from good teams so they're both rebuilding a bit, and Bradley is just banged up this season. Drake, Evansville and Indiana State are just doing what they normally do, which is being awful. It'll be interesting to see where the conference goes from here because three years ago it was so much fun to watch and be apart of.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 06:58 PM) f***ing disgusting. YOU'RE DISGUSTING. Ya, take that.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 08:18 PM) I'm with you, Row. I tried it this summer and liked it. I think there has to be the right time and place for it, but on a really hot summer day in the mid-afternoon, it can hit the spot. It's definitely a summer time beer.

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 05:07 PM) Rowand has to learn from the Master when it comes to "rock out with your cock out." Thankfully I'm not going to that ISU.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 04:52 PM) Yeah, it's pretty brutal. Perhaps they're saving money to go towards payroll but hiring a child to do all signage work for them, not to mention a bizarre choice for the featured players. For anyone that can't see the link here's the billboard: Haha nice substitution.

Going to Illinois State this weekend with a bunch of friends. I've never been there before so I'm looking forward to it. Get to show those people how to party.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 04:50 PM) Did he say something funny which then prompted the hosts to say, "Gordon Beckham, you slay me"? lol, well played.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 08:34 PM) Stay away from Bud Light Lime. Was that helpful? I love that beer. Seriously.

Wite, you write too damn much . Good stuff though.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 11:32 PM) You need to check your birth date/graduation date Steve's aging pretty damn quick apparently.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 11:09 PM) Link 5.79 runs per game. Highest possible is 5.86. That's 940 runs. Jesus. They're scary good on paper. Hope for injuries(ya that makes me a bad person but I don't care)!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 10:42 PM) And that, my friends, is an AL wrap. Unf***ingbelievable. Honestly, they were probably the best team in the AL last season barring injury but they were obviously quite banged up. They're once again going to be the best team in the league on paper, just have to see if they hold up or not.

But he also said he plays hard and doesn't even consider failure as an option. I imagine he must have liked him because he's still with the Jays (Briand) as a professional scout, and I'm sure AA consulted him first. He's also 20 years old, so it's not surprising if he's a bit immature. I wouldn't think so, after all, it's tattooed on his arm. lol.... Ha, gotta a guy with Eminem lyrics tattooed on his shoulder.
