GB has this hail mary thing down.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 02:25 PM) I want that to happen with Gio soto throwing to Geo Soto! All in on this.

He's still got a bunch of indy dates to finish up and through the rumble it looks like. I'm guessing he gets Nak at the Mania takeover. I hope they just let him be him, let him be a fat guy, his athleticism is more impressive this way and his strikes look more vicious this way. Just leave the dude alone. EDIT: And like I've said before, I think they may be more receptive to him like this because he can be billed more as a monster and the flippy s*** he can do at this weight is ridiculously impressive. Where as before he was just kind of a skinny fat dude. Obviously, I have no clue if that's true but I can see it being.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 06:37 PM) Eight rides in. Setting or pushing new output thresholds with each ride. Building up leg strength. Am out of the beginner rides and into the regular rides now. Still finishing in the top 20% or so. This thing is very addicting, folks. When do we see you in the Tour de France?

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 06:28 PM) So if Q and his contract aren't worth a prospect like Bregman or Meadows...then who is? I always thought you had to trade more prospects for an allstar MLB player. Apparently now you have to trade more MLB players for one untouchable prospect? GMAFB. Chris Sale was worth the absolute #1 prospect plus three other really good prospects. Jose Quintana can get Bregman+ Jose Quintana can get Meadows+ It's not even a debate. It's just going to have to hurt if you're the Astros or Pirates. That's how trading for Allstar pitchers with legendary contracts works. Q is worth those guys + but doesn't mean their teams will trade them. That said, I don't think anyone is ever untouchable. Maybe the 'Stros don't want to include Bregman but that could change, same with Meadows and anyone else. There's no reason for posters to keep yelling that "Bregman wont be traded" every time he gets mentioned. No one knows if that's true or not.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 06:27 PM) I know it's trash, but it's interesting to discuss Fair enough.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 06:20 PM) Sports mockery suggests the Astros are offering martes, tucker and paulino for Quintana. Feels light. Give me reed and perez instead of paulino I usually try not to bash many sites or people for their sources or lack of but Sports Mockery is legit trash when it comes to this stuff.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 02:37 AM) I have a feeling today is the day... That i eat ice cream. It's pretty cold out though.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 5, 2017 -> 07:13 PM) That being said, should the guy pick up where he left off in the second half last year, one would think he should absolutely bring back a few top prospects should bats be in demand come July. This is the reason I'm more reluctant to trade him right now than any of our other name guys. He's a guy that could really rebuild some of his trade value if he goes off in the 1st half like he did the 2nd half of last season. Obviously, if the right deal comes along right now, please move him but he's a guy that could really be more valuable come the deadline than right now.

Soto makes perfect sense. I'm cool with this.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jan 5, 2017 -> 10:12 PM) Dudeeee, did you read the spoilers? Sounds like they're gonna push him right out of the gate which is freakin awesome. I hate when my brother spoils stuff but this made me pop hard... Hero has been my favorite wrestler since I was like 16, and am 29 now. I haven't even read the spoilers for the tapings yet. Basically once wwe or nxt put the stuff up on their official twitter account, I don't really consider it a 'spoiler' anymore. I wouldn't have posted it if they didn't.

Hero is officially back in NXT so that's freakin awesome.

I really liked Omega-Okada(Kenny is a madman) but the first half of it was really slow. It was a great match but there's been better imo just in this past year let alone of all time. I respect Meltzer a lot and he's the best at what he does but despite what he says it certainly does seem like he has some sort of bias towards stuff in Japan. And I think Kenny just knows how to build his brand. I have no problem continuing to watch him do his thing in NJPW but I'm sure if WWE made him the right offer he'd jump.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 5, 2017 -> 12:14 AM) Facebook friends know, so my Soxtalk brothers and sisters may as well know too: I accepted the Executive Chef position at the Ramkota Hotel in Bismarck. So, if you are in Bismarck anytime in the near future, come find me. We serve good food. Also, unlike most promotions, I'm much less scared about this. I'm much more scared of more f***ing snow. Remind me to stay as far away from that Hotel as possible. Congrats Bud!

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 4, 2017 -> 06:30 PM) I'm surprised Adams made the top 10 over Dunning or Stephens. A lot of differing opinions on Adams it seems.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 4, 2017 -> 04:42 PM) Ugh, crappy clickbait with exploding audio. Anyone want to say where the Sox are and what the top 10 looks like? 4th. Moncada Giolito Kopech Lopez Collins Fulmer Burdi Hansen Basabe Adams

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jan 3, 2017 -> 01:36 PM) Probably Burdi instead of Basabe. But the bottom half of the top 10 gets pretty interesting so who knows. I'd guess Burdi instead of Adams.

Damn, Moncada just plummeting down the rankings! Giolito also got a vote for best pitching prospect in this poll.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 3, 2017 -> 10:20 PM) College basketball refs Under 10 steps is legal now. That Kansas ending was epic.

Rodgers at his peak is the best I've ever seen but it's hard to compare their careers since Brady has been around so much longer. And uhh J4L did you forget about the Seahawks throwing the ball on the 1 yd line? It's silly to say he should be 6 for 6.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 2, 2017 -> 05:45 PM) 5 rides in...totally addicted. What an awesome workout. Good to hear. Biking has always been super difficult for me for whatever reason. I'm in pretty good cardio shape(I can run forever) but spinning will kill me right away.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 28, 2016 -> 03:33 PM) The Cubs wouldnt give up Schwarber for Q straight up let alone also give Baez and other prospects. Cmon guys. I'm not sure if that's true(it might be) but because it's the Cubs this board in general definitely either severely underrates or overrates all of their guys.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 28, 2016 -> 10:00 AM) You totally contradicted yourself in two sentences, Row. LOL Nah. I guess I could be clearer but ill never freak out about rushing someone to the majors because I'm worried about their development or they're not ready or whatever. If you don't want to start their service time then that's a different thing.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 28, 2016 -> 09:27 AM) Eh. I have no interest in wasting major league money on an intentionally bad product, nor do I feel like getting excited about knowing this is going to be the worst time to be a Sox fan in decades. Hoping what might happen in five years isn't really a reason to be excited today for me. It is the route we have chosen and all, but it is so depressing. It isn't like you can sim this time period to see if it works like OOTP. You have to live through the misery. Bleh. But you've enjoyed the last decade?
