I don't like watching Toews and Keith play for Canada.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 18, 2010 -> 05:54 PM) If you've heard what I've heard, you'd know that it would be foolish to give up on Adrian. The Sox have tried on multiple occasions and as of now the asking price is too high in their minds. That could change though, you never know. And not that we have the deepest farm system but we have a top level catching prospect and a top level starting pitching prospect and that will at least put you in the running for an elite talent like AGon. Obviously they're going to want more than that but that's a pretty damn good starting point.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 11:12 PM) If Odiakosa keeps playing this way ISU might just win this damn tournament. He's been a beast of late! As of now it looks to me as if it's going to be a rematch of last years championship. Wichita is really playing like crap lately and I think IlSU is just more talented anyways.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Feb 18, 2010 -> 12:34 PM) Even if you believe that, Damon isn't going to propel the Sox to a pennant and the Sox aren't going to want him for more than one year. Looking at the big picture, Damon isn't all that valuable. Ya, I'm going to call bulls*** on this one. The difference between having a gaping hole at the dh position or having a pretty damn good player hitting there is quite valuable.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 10:48 AM) Rowand. The trade for Thome didnt take the team over the top as expected. Sure but the offense over the top in 06. Too bad the pitching crapped out that year.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 15, 2010 -> 11:14 PM) When I was there, the rec center was unintentionally segregated. Us white boys playes on the courts on the left. Everytime I went to the right, they would never let me play even though I was better than most of them. It's definitely still that way. But I'll still play there every now and than, just come with a team and call next and nobody really has a choice.

And now I'm starting to get my hopes up. Please get this done, Kenny!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 11:02 AM) Row, we'll send you McDermott. He can coach in the Valley. Ha, you were definitely right about him and I was wrong. Still rather have him than Lowery though.

So I had this real good looking girl really into me at the bar tonight and as we were leaving she asked me if I remembered her name...um whoops.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 16, 2010 -> 09:37 PM) So we're in a tie game with 8 minutes left in the 2nd half. I'll bet anyone a billion dollars that we lose by about 4 and have about 3 turnovers in the last 2 minutes of the game. Close enough. Holy crap does Kevin Dillard suck and holy crap Chris Lowery is terrible. And god damnit, I hate my life.

Go get 'em Hawk

Wow. That didn't take long. Thanks Rosenthal.

QUOTE (Sockin @ Feb 16, 2010 -> 08:34 PM) Sox have made a second offer, Damon to Sox gaining momentum! http://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/9212195015 :pray :pray Don't know why I'm getting my hopes up about this. Wont happen, I'm sure.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 16, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) Ya, but this gives you a much better chance of keeping him. Plus by doing that deal, the Bulls would still have money to add another big FA in the off-season anyway (at least if you are able to unload Salmons or Hinrich). The only tough part is you are giving up Noah. You're taking one hell of a chance though. You better guarantee me we're signing 2 of the elite free agents(obviously including Bosh) if we let go of Noah in that kind of deal.

Hopeful and pissed at the same time. I think our current team is good enough to make some noise in the division and the playoffs if we were to get there. That being said, it's inexcusable to me that we don't have a real dh at this point, because if we did, we could compete with anyone.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 15, 2010 -> 09:15 PM) If Chicago can get Lebron they will. It is just widely believed he isn't interested in coming to Chicago. Peter Vessey disagrees and thinks that the Bulls are his most likely destination if he doesn't stay in Cleveland. And Deng is no concern, I could care less who is on our team, LBJ is the best in the game. Exactly. I see the point that you're trying to make, Balta, but there is absolutely no way you don't go after Lebron James because of Luol Deng.

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Feb 15, 2010 -> 07:44 PM) Once I get this knee back to 100% i'll take you on in some bball We can definitely do that. Let me know.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Feb 15, 2010 -> 06:46 PM) Excellent. Saluki fans are always very fun. I like pretty much all MVC fanbases with the exceptions of Bradley and Creighton. Creighton fans just suck. I've only had trouble with the Creighton fan base. There was almost a huge brawl in our hotel lobby in 07 with SIU and Creighton fan bases. But ya, besides that everyone else has been just fine. The most classic encounter I've ever had was with some Wichita fans. Telling us how coked out they were and some crazy party they went to the night before. Had pictures too, interesting people.

QUOTE (SnB @ Feb 15, 2010 -> 05:50 PM) was your hair getting in the way again? Haha, the long hair is old news. Might be time to bring the long hair and full beard back though.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 15, 2010 -> 05:47 PM) I will go ahead and state this very clearly now. I don't even care if he becomes a star player wherever he lands. He was never going to amount to anything here in Chicago, and he is just a waste of space, plus a ticking timebomb. I completely agree with you're statement but we have absolutely nothing to worry about, Tyrus will never be anything near a superstar.

A mid first round pick and an expiring contract for Tyrus? Yes, please.

Hopefully terrible. Seriously though, I'm sure they'll be fine but there's absolutely no doubt that we'll play a lot better in Minny now.

So I played basketball yesterday for the first time in like 6 months(which is crazy in itself because before college I played every day) but it reminded me how out of shape I currently am. Stupid beer. P.S. I'm still great if you guys were wondering.
