Nice post Steve. Can't wait until Jo and Rose are off the books so the bulls can get Jimmy a sidekick.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jan 21, 2014 -> 03:12 PM) What would you give up for Eric Gordon? Anything? Derrick Rose (sadly I am only half joking)

I just want to say Teague IS as bad as Steve says. Brian Scalabrini, during 11-2012, was 66 times better the player than Teague in 2013-14. A HUMAN VICTORY CIGAR was 66 TIMES BETTER! I doubt Teague would score anything during the Scal Challenge. EDIT FOR MATH. 69 TIMES BETTER DOUBLE EDIT for Relevant Pic.

With arods 25 million off the books this year, you would think that clears the way for Tanaka to be a Yankee.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 10, 2014 -> 03:08 PM) maybe he had the quicker recovery surgery that Rose opted against, the meniscus shaving. I don't know. It did say repair. also , here is my favorite part "he's not going to rush back -- especially since this is the second right meniscus repair he's had in the last two years."

Maybe someone can shed light on why Eric Bledsoe and the suns are not counting the season out despite him having the SAME injury, 2 months after rose. http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nba/222...-all-star-break

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 12:10 AM) I'm no longer a White Sox fan but Frank Thomas was my favorite player since day 1 of him being in the majors. Happy day.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 07:40 PM) Better question. Maddux in the HOF as a Brave or Cub... Go. You might have a better argument of picking the Padres over the Cubs than the Cubs over the Braves. Kidding. But it's really not close. The cubs blew it and let him walk.

who could forget these lol

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 04:15 PM) Thrilled that Frank got in on the first ballot, my alltime favorite player. But very disappointed in the lack of support for Estaban Loaiza
