QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 11, 2007 -> 01:27 AM) How do you figure? It's arguably the worst rotation in the AL Central. For the last 3 months or so, Contreras and Danks have had a hard time getting more outs than base runners allowed. Considering how much money is invested in our starting pitching, they've brutally underachieved the last two seasons. We have a real good core for a rotation. Buehrle and Vazquez are a solid 1-2, Garland is an above average starter, we have 2 youngsters who have shown flashes and then a 94 year old who needs to find a new employer. A lot could possibly depend on Danks and Floyd next season(we'll see how things work out) but the rotation is the least of our problems right now.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 11, 2007 -> 12:13 AM) Yay for having both Lee Evans and Larry Fitz on my fantasy squad, and losing by 6 points this week Underf***ingachievers. Fitz, Evans and D Jax in one of my leagues. I still won this week by 40ish.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 10, 2007 -> 11:06 PM) I love September evaluations. So Cleveland and Detroit are mailing it in? I don't get it. You and Pratt wont give Gavin a chance. He automatically sucked to both of you before he made one single pitch for this team.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 11, 2007 -> 01:16 AM) On a sidenote, I want to point out I don't have a problem with anyone rooting for the club to lose. I understand all about the top pick. I'm also trying to throw out other points so you guys get an idea of where those that may not be rooting for the club to lose are coming from. I basically take the approach if they lose, fine, top pick here they come, but if they win I see the added benefit in terms of player development that could come with those wins (since typically when you win its because you've played well and if young players play well its a good sign of your future as you may actually have a couple young players that will turn into quality major league players). I'm not about to care much either way, unless of course we have some significant injuries. All I care about is if the young players play well and I hope vets play well to raise trade value. Jas, I can guarantee you that all of us who want to see the losses here are wanting to see these young players step up. That's all I care about right now with this team. Any time I check the boxscore I go basically directly to check what Josh and Richar did. Tonight all I cared about was how Gavin did. We might be rooting for losses but we can still root for the individuals to perform well.

So once again I couldn't watch Gavin pitch. How'd he look? Stats look good again(3 straight Quality starts; 4 of 5 as well). It'd be huge if he can take a spot in the rotation next season.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 10, 2007 -> 12:16 PM) One of the big problems is Jerry isn't a centerfielder. It'd be a lot easier to put up with it if he didn't quadruple hop throws to the cutoff man. Bad arm or not he's been much better than advertised in CF. That's the least of my problems with him, he's just not a good hitter. I would love for him to be able to put up a .350 or so obp but I don't think that'll ever happen. If he's our leadoff hitter next season, yikes.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Sep 10, 2007 -> 02:02 PM) Doesnt the league still fine the player if the horsecollar is not called by the refs? That wasn't a horsecollar that was a flat out choke. Too bad, I like Mike Brown a lot but he's just injury prone(not in this case but you guys know what I mean). Awful, I hope he can some how recover from all of this.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Sep 9, 2007 -> 11:17 PM) I umped a fall ball HS game today with a team coached by Stacey King. BG team by chance? He definitely used to coach some little league teams in BG

I think LSU is the best team in the nation, it's just hard for me to see anybody run the table in the SEC. They might be on the ol' bcs title game bubble.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Sep 9, 2007 -> 05:35 PM) Great to see Ronald Curry playing very well. 10 catches 129 yards so far. This after coming back from his 3rd Achilles season ending injury. Favorite player in sports. I take you as more of a Shammond Williams guy.

The Bears are good, the Bears will be fine.

Is it just me or anytime the Cubs are ever in a division race basically every person ever predicts them to win it?

Wow tough crowd. Training day and Remember the Titans were awesome imo.

Ya NE is not fair. The Bears defense isn't either.

I love Kenny Mayne.

Ya this wont happen or at least it shouldn't.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 9, 2007 -> 01:40 AM) Useless response, Rowand... EDIT: Useless to respond is probably better wording. It's something everyone is going to have to drop eventually I suppose, but some of the things being said just don't make any sense to me. EDIT: I understood what you were saying. It's all good.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 9, 2007 -> 12:25 AM) Who cares about a meaningless draft pick that the Sox will be unable to sign or pick the wrong guy anyway? Give me a win like tonight anyday!!! Great win, White Sox. Go Sox! So a draft pick that can actually have an impact for this organization is meaningless yet a game that can't do anything for this franchise has meaning?

Ya that was nutso.

QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 06:48 PM) ^^^^^^^^^^^^ A 900 lb lineman for SIU just returned an int for like 60 yards.

We didn't win the game, but this thread reminded me of the Arnie Munoz game 3-4 years back in Montreal.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 05:16 PM) We had to put our cat to sleep today (only 4/1/2). The cat ended up having a kidney problem and they think it is from bad catfood (even though the food we use was not part of the recall, but I guess every company uses some sort of product that comes from China and it is what can cause the issue). Its amazing how much a pet means to you and how sad it is when they have to leave. Pets really are part of the family. Sorry man. I've been there and it hurts.

QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 06:58 PM) Brilliant chant after the game from LZ fans, "Go Home Steven-son!", not realizing the game was indeed AT Stevenson. lolz

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 06:04 PM) Stevenson has the weakest fans ever. Didn't hear s*** from them all game. LZ's student section doubled Stevenson's and Stevenson was at home! Go Bears! Everyone misses me, they need a full 4 years to recover.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 06:54 PM) Didn't they lose two of three last time they faced Houston? No.
