Who you guys got tonight: Alcorn State or Kansas? The Braves are off to a very impressive 0-9 start with their closest loss coming by 15 points. This could be a tough one for Jimbo's Jayhawks.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 2, 2009 -> 08:09 AM) Wouldn't this be the ultimate definition of "sell high"? With the sporadic nature of relievers, is a better bet that he comes back in form, or that he has an off year? Matt's one of the few relievers in the game who isn't sporadic which makes him so valuable. Trading him is a terrible idea at the moment.

Adding Vlad as our dh just makes a ton of sense to me.

QUOTE (balfanman @ Dec 1, 2009 -> 01:36 PM) Just a matter of semantics I guess, but I would consider Upton a huge move. Agreed.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 30, 2009 -> 11:19 PM) This is how I see Chicago sports relevance/success over the next 2 years: 1. Blackhawks 2. Cubs 2. Sox 4. Bulls 5. Bears Cubs and Sox tied at 2. It all depends on what bats that KW can acquire. That Cubs team is in shambles right now. I don't know exactly what you mean by relevant but success wise the Cubs are going to take quite a dip imo. And the Bulls will be just fine, they obviously have a ton of flaws right now but they have a nice little core to build around, unlike the Bears.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 30, 2009 -> 09:16 PM) If Crede could return I'd be terrified to have that back at third. Fixed.

We should just always draft the way we did in 08.

What an absolutely lackluster, pathetic game for about 36 minutes tonight, at least we played well for 4 minutes or so.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 08:53 PM) Why are you watching ISU-NW? Ha, your game that bad as well?

What a garbage first half. The players, coaching and officiating were all complete trash in that half. What a suck fest.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 01:12 PM) Perhaps he was told to say that by his lawyer. These guys were probably thinking that Congress was "railroading" them. Making them look bad in the court of public opinion, so they played it straight and refused to "narc" on each other. Until a positive test shows up, like in Bonds' or Palmeiro's case, I see no direct reason to deny McGwire. If he didn't roid there would be absolutely no reason for him to plead the 5th, none.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 04:19 PM) Umpire spitting incident won't delay Robbie's entrance? It shouldn't. He should be in on the first ballot imo.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 05:46 PM) They would have because the Fiesta Bowl wanted to take a BCS eligible Big 12 team. They would have taken them over Boise, not Iowa or Penn State. Good. Boise belongs in a bcs bowl.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 05:38 PM) We gave them a good game, last year they would of been blasted after UNLV made that run to take the lead. Fay and Dillard had off games, Booker injured his hip and Freeman hurt himself as well, they stood tough on a tough road game. They need to take UIC tonite. Ya, the health is a concern right now, everyone is banged up it seems and J.Freeman and Book didn't practice much this week. I'm hoping we just run UIC out of the gym tonight.

UNLV takes down Louisville. Makes me feel a tad better about losing to them, but damn that would have been a nice win.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 12:48 PM) Needs more West Virginia/Wake Forest. Needs more Pittsnogle. That game was fantastic but it's hard to argue any of those 10 on the list.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 12:22 PM) I usually see most PPVs I want to see, either MMA or boxing, because luckily I have a group of friends who are in for it, and if you split the PPV and drinks and food it usually ends up being equal to or less than going out Yeup.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 01:02 PM) That's still opinion and hearsay. There is no concrete proof. Him pleading the 5th is concrete proof, I don't care what anyone says.

If I could be assured that his bat speed is still good enough, this would be one of the best signings ever. Not going to happen but I do love the idea if we could somehow convince him to do a little try out to see if his physical skills are still there.

Wow. f***in kickers

Used to be Christmas by a mile. New Years Eve is starting to get there for me though.

Lets go Aggies!

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Nov 25, 2009 -> 04:11 PM) I'm late to the party....but wouldn't the outfield be LF Crisp, CF Rios, RF Quentin be almost a certainty if Crisp is signed? It is the most logical. You're forgetting who our manager is.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Nov 24, 2009 -> 06:49 PM) But, then we are assuming someone else is going to improve? It's all the roll of the dice in many cases They're both huge ? offensively but you know you're getting better defense, better baserunning and a much lower price tag with Crisp.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 24, 2009 -> 04:46 PM) You think Garcia will be a good starter? He hasn't pitched a full season in quite some time. Well our top 4 are already better than pretty much everyone in baseball at this point and we also have 2 pretty damn good candidates for the 5th starter, which not a lot of teams can say either.
