2010-2011 NBA Thread
QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 26, 2010 -> 08:59 PM) I think they are a year away from having a shot at 70 wins but I still think they win the title. This I agree with.

2010-2011 NBA Thread
QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 26, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) Is there a dumber chant in all of sports than the overrated chant? Well maybe, every fan of every team chanting MVP for their best player. I think I say this every year on here, but there isn't a damn thing I hate more in sports than the overrated chant. Other than that, suck it Miami! Obviously one game doesn't mean much but I'll say again that this team has no f***in chance in hell of winning 70 games. And yes, I'm going to continue to comment about that after every loss, cause it's just an absurd thought to me.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Oct 26, 2010 -> 05:29 PM) So who are people rooting for tonight, Heat or Celtics? I'm going for injuries myself. That's definitely my rooting interest tonight as well. Unfortunately, my 2nd pick after injuries will be the Celtics as the Heat literally just disgust me. Not to mention I'm tired of hearing about all this 72 win non-sense.

Thornton, Castro back; Torres gone
QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 26, 2010 -> 03:34 PM) Just because Flowers' had a bad season doesn't mean he's a non-prospect. This is the same exact kind of stuff people were saying about Viciedo last year, and then he had a good all around season. The example I used was JP Arencibia for Toronto. Had a piss-poor 2009, comes back this year, destroys AAA pitching, and he's looked at in a different light again. Flowers is still a relatively young player. This is a very important season for him, but considering him a non-prospect after his first full go around in AAA is pretty ridiculous. Eh, Flowers situation to Viciedos last year is just an awful comparison and you know that. Granted, I wouldn't say he's a non-prospect at this point but he certainly doesn't have much value at this point. Our best bet is to throw him back in AAA and hope he rebounds.

Easy decisions. Nice to have Matt and Ramon back.

John Danks trade ideas
QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 04:26 AM) And they were 3-5 years ago. And KW has been given his just due. But he's been just as bad the last three years. And he deserves just as much criticism. And you by yourself have given him enough criticism the last few weeks for the rest of us. Damn dude, you know you're one of my favorite posters on this site but it really seems like Kenny killed a family member of yours or something.

2010 World Series: Rangers vs. Giants
QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 25, 2010 -> 12:38 PM) I think a lot of people got tired about the recovered heroin addict stuff. It doesn't change the fact that he put up a .359/.411/.633/1.044 line this year while playing good defense in CF. Josh Hamilton is good. I was tired of his damn story the second I heard it. That being said, he's just something else at the plate. He's an absolute joy to watch swing the bat.

Five Years Ago Today - 10/22/2005
QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Oct 25, 2010 -> 02:01 PM) Same for me. I was a sophomore in college and I only watched with one other guy. I don't think I could've handled a bunch of people around. Ya, even for the first round of 08, I only watched with one other person or locked myself in my room and watched by myself. There's only a few people I can even handle being around during a White Sox playoff game.

Five Years Ago Today - 10/22/2005
QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Oct 25, 2010 -> 09:22 AM) THIS. Although it was a great way to meet people for me. I remember having like 15 people in my dorm room just watching game 2. October 26th, 2005 was my favorite night in college. Not for me. I was the most anti-social person on the planet for those few months. Didn't care to talk to anyone, went to class, came back to my dorm room, bought some food and got ready to watch the games.

Official 2010-2011 NCAA Football Thread
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 25, 2010 -> 07:25 AM) Yes, a blanket statement that really has no validity. When Boise beats some legitimate team, they will get credit. its as easy as that. Until then, every other undefeated team in the country coming out of major conferences has to lose. What I said certainly wasn't a blanket statement but whatever. And no, for some people(not all) it doesn't matter who the hell Boise beats, they've beaten "legitimate" teams before and there's always still some other excuse on why they're not good enough to play with the big boys. And you want a statement with no validity? How about the fact that everyone keeps saying that Boise would already have 2 or 3 losses if they played in bcs conference? Why is that exactly? Because there name is Boise State, that's all, that statement has not freakin validity at this point.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 11:09 AM) seriously haha. Also, i'll never forget going into a german exam still drunk and off 1 hour of sleep the day after we won. I actually got an A too. But yeah i did think after it was all over, that it was ridiculous how anxious and stressed I was considering we were 11-1 in the playoffs. That was such a bad semester to start college. Nothing else in the world mattered at that time.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 08:38 PM) LSU has yet to pass my eye test, they're not that good(something a f***ing computer can't see). They beat VT who is ranked just as high as SC, and Arkansas has yet to beat anyone this year which according to people like you is all that matters. It's Boise's turn, and this whole they have not played anyone is a joke because they keep winning and everyone else keeps losing. Auburn will lose at some point, so I wouldn't worry about that. And you're never going to win the Boise argument around here. For as much as people make some of us out to be mid major homers, there's a bunch of people around here that will never, ever give Boise any credit just because they're Boise.

FML McFadden on the bench for me this week too because every f***in news outlet said that Michael Bush was starting today. I checked up until about 11:30 this morning until I went out to watch the f***in games. f***

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Oct 21, 2010 -> 11:14 PM) Jackson is not that big of a drop off from Danks, if at all. Eh? Until Edwin can prove to be somewhat consistent I'd say it's a pretty big drop off. We have no f***in clue what we'd get from Edwin through a full year.
