QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 05:13 PM) Didn't he sign with the Yanks? yes you edit beating bastard

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 05:02 PM) I hope he's not an option regardless of how long we control him. Damaso would not look so bad. Too bad he left on a bad note :/ edit: just read he re-signed with the yanks

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 01:54 PM) what about using Javy as the closer instead of Jenks? maybe if closers were used in the 1st inning

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 09:01 AM) McNabb didn't know there were ties in NFL I mean, c'mon. You mean to tell me he has never noticed the little "T" column on the right side of the "W" and "L" columns? What an idiot. A true winner is also a student of the game. He should know everything inside and out.

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 10:54 AM) Derrick Rose stats through the first 10 18.9 PPG 5.6 APG 82% from the free throw line. He is a f***ing stud in the making,just needs to cut down on his TO which he leads the team with 2.50 a game. I think assists to turnovers is a more important statistic. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/statistics?s...mp;seasontype=2 He is 36th, which is not bad for a 19 year old rookie pg. Btw, Nash is 33rd.

I really want a macbook air. I just can't justify the price.

more piranhas for the Shark Tank!

QUOTE (Shadows @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 03:44 AM) Miami goes "to" Buffalo which is actually in Toronto for this game, which is an advantage for Miami because a normal December trip to that s*** hole turns into an indoor game in Canada. Thanks NFL! Miami controls their own destiny with that remaining schedule. They took care of business during the challenging part of their schedule and are set up nicely the rest of the way.

QUOTE (wilmot825 @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 03:29 AM) IF they trade Jenks, I boycott the 9th innings Sounds like you are more of a Jenks fan than a White Sox fan. If they deal him , get over it. He's not Tim Lincecum or Albert Pujols. He's a closer.

QUOTE (Shadows @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 03:41 AM) The Sox have had good closers before Bobby Jenks and they'll have good closers after him too If someone is going to give up a lot for Jenks you DO it Exactly

QUOTE (wilmot825 @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 03:35 AM) Does this make any sense what so ever? I still am scratching my head to why Kenny is even entertaining the thought of sending the "Man-Child" elsewhere. Jenks has been the most consistent and most solid player on the White Sox since he came up in 2005. You can always count on Bobby to knock it down in the 9th and get 35 saves a season. Remember when we traded a top closer in his prime, Keith Foulke. We get Billy Koch who BOMBED, and Foulke had solid seasons with Oakland and Boston before his decline. I don't see trading Bobby Jenks making anymore sense, they should have kept Swish and tried to unload Konerko to LAA and let the Yanks get Tex. I still think we should deal Jenks now, only if we can sell high. If it is similar to the swisher deal, then forget it. My reasons are simple 1. Injury history 2. The average career for a closer as a closer is usually less than 5 seasons. 3. Imo, closers are overrated in the sense that they are not as valuable as an every day position player or starting pitcher. It is easier to come across a stud closer than a stud SP or catcher , for instance.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 01:29 AM) He's been league average or better in 8 straight seasons and has a career ERA+ of 108. I won't go as far as saying he's a great pitcher, but he's been a good pitcher who is durable as hell who has had a great career. I could agree with good. But, borderline good.

LOL Bills

That hit the ground

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 11:09 PM) Wakefield is a great pitcher who has had a great career. If you define "great" as "gimmick" and/or "mediocre", then I will agree with you. He lasted a long time, that's all I will give him. He was way too inconsistent and unreliable at times to be considered great.

From the Espn board

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 12:38 PM) Yeah, the lottery has proven that odds can be a bit whacky. They'll definitely have a high percentage chance though. What, 25%? That's way too low for having the worst record.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 11:25 AM) I'm not sure. They got great crowds for the Hornets when they played there, and the Thunder are probably going to get the #1 pick this off-season. It reminds me of when Charlotte first started up and got major support in the early 90's. How can you say probably? Odds are they don't.

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 11:24 AM) I think I would stick to bottled water. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27720579/ If you did decide to drink it, can we call you s***ts?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 11:11 AM) How much better is Rose in all aspects of the game than Michael Beasley? What a great decision by Pax. Rose may have saved his job. Maybe the heat should have went with Mayo at # 2? Jury is still out, but character issues may prevent Beasley from ever jumping to that elite level (Example: Carmelo Anthony) . Not saying they are bad people, just saying they are not winners. Rose has shown me he is a winner.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 10:58 AM) Ha, yeah I know, Heinz has an oddly built team that got lucky against you this weekend. he is 24-3 with Lebron/boozer and throw ins. You'll put him in his place though, I'm sure of it.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 11:00 AM) Sounds about right. Ugh to the Bears game yesterday. No sports radio for me today. I'm the same way. I'm listening to music while I work today instead. I watched a few derrick rose youtube clips to get my mind off that beatdown.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 10:23 AM) Dallas is back in it, after a big win last night. 6-4 now, with home games coming up against Seattle and SF. We should be 8-4 after those, and at least have our playoff destiny in our own hands. More importantly, the defense has stepped it up, with the decision to not play a zone coverage with the CB's anymore. Hey Stranger! Welcome back to this thread! It's been a few weeks huh?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 10:50 AM) No, I've got plenty of that... Desperate Housewives is ridiculously funny and entertaining though. Nice week in fantasy, by the way. I thought I'd have to worry about you and Edwin... You still have to worry. I'm in transition mode. Laugh it up in November, April will be a different story.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 10:29 AM) I don't care what anyone says, "Desperate Housewives" is one of the best shows on tv. sounds like you're "desperate" for quality entertainment.
