Worried about the Cubs already? Jebus.

I haven't heard Singleton that much but DJ is awesome. He's not the brightest baseball person in the world but he's improved a ton and he's just entertaining to listen to, imo. Hawk has been the problem for years now, he's the one who refuses to hold actual conversations and he's the one who produces the dead air. I love Hawk because of his passion for the Sox but as an announcer he's pretty brutal at the moment.

QUOTE(R.J. @ Dec 17, 2007 -> 03:33 AM) We have nothing from Gavin Floyd to show us that he's even a capable 5th starter. Outside of two encouraging starts last year, he looked downright ugly. He had a lot more than 2. He had like 5 of 6 quality starts to end this season or something like that. Now that doesn't mean he's going to be a competent 5th starter this season but he definitely had more than 2 encouraging starts. As for either of them ever being top of the rotation starters, I highly doubt it. I pretty much agree with Wite on this one.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 16, 2007 -> 04:20 PM) I seriously can't believe people are still slupring up all over Beane. He has made countless of mediocre decisions and has continued to fail to get the A's to the promised land. He had some really good teams for a couple year span, I'll admit, but the past couple years they have been far more mediocre and they are right with the Sox when it comes to drafting (ie unimpresively). KW some times doesn't trade players soon enough but Beane trades players way too early imo. I obviously disagree with a lot of Beane's principles so to speak but that's one of the main ones as of late.

A Mark Buehrle jersey.

QUOTE(rockren @ Dec 15, 2007 -> 01:11 PM) We never drafted a Danks before.......we traded for John.... We've already drafted Jordan, he opted to go to Texas though.

Going to STL tonight for the game. There is supposed to be 6-8 inches of snow on the ground by the time the game is over, so that should be a whole lot of fun.

I'd take a chance on him in a heartbeat for that contract. It's usually an awful idea to hand out that big of a contract but Santana is the best pitcher in baseball and he's a guy I'd take a huge risk on, and obviously this would be one.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Dec 15, 2007 -> 12:32 AM) Of course, a commitment would likely bump up the ranking to a 5, but I'm like that. LOL Here's the problem with that, a commitment to you is like a commitment to a mid major. As we both know, a lot of times an early commitment to a mid major will bump the rating down a little bit. I bet that's something she's pondering.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Dec 15, 2007 -> 12:23 AM) I feel like I'm waiting for a top recruit to commit. A 4.25 is pretty good.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Dec 14, 2007 -> 11:01 PM) He gets way too much hate... Never, not enough hate.

Webb and Haren is sick.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Dec 14, 2007 -> 10:06 PM) Why? Because he looks like you? Oh boy, you didn't. We both had long hair at one point, that was it. I've never gone the dirty mustache rout.

I doubt he's a Sox fan but if he was, he'd be the worst of all time.

Just got back from I am Legend. I liked it but didn't love it. Wasn't a big fan of the ending.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Dec 14, 2007 -> 05:19 PM) Wow. Denied. Ouch, didn't see that coming. Sorry to hear that, man.

Well that looks absolutely awesome.

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Dec 14, 2007 -> 02:10 AM) I am Legend was pretty decent, ill wait til others see it to discuss. Going to see it today, can't wait.

That dude could hit a ball like 900 feet. Shouldn't surprise anyone.

QUOTE(juddling @ Dec 14, 2007 -> 08:05 AM) I'm not sure about that......Frank started breaking down without the roids........with the roids who knows. he might have recovered faster but then broke down more. Like someone else in this thread said...i don't even want to think about it. He wouldn't have had the career of Bonds but it's entirely possible he could have put up seasons close to Barry.

Clemens is a big fat phony.

Legion seems a little off but that's a real good get for Illinois if it happens.

QUOTE(Brian @ Dec 13, 2007 -> 03:20 PM) Agreed. She shouldn't even be on the list. O-ver-ra-ted, clap, clap, clap-clap-clap! Lies.

Has Fernando Vina been on today by chance? I'd love to hear that.

Ya, Football wont be dropped here. Some people will argue that it should and it doesn't get supported at all but it's here to stay. There are a lot of passionate Saluki football fans and even though personally I'm not the biggest fan, it'd kill some of those people for it to be disbanded.
