QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 04:42 PM) Clearly the Brazilians quit after they were down 2-0, absolutely no resistence on defense. Clearly, Germany is better than Brazil but not at a 7-0 superiority. Hopefully the Germans shoot their wad today and Argentina takes it. Not a chance.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 04:28 PM) this is sad as hell Why?

Hope they dont riot.

My kinsmen running those dirty south americans off the field

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 03:20 PM) Stephen A said on ESPN 1000 that you can rule the Bulls out completely. Hope he is wrong. If that is the case, we probably should see some other domino's start to fall, specifically the signing of Mirotic. However, everything SAS was saying was predicated on the fact that he doesn't think Phil will do a S&T for Melo. I agree that Melo will not sign outright w/Bulls and only option is S&T. Its just a matter of whether he can be convinced and I really think Pau is the solution as it allows Mirotic to be a chip (in addition to draft picks, expirings, and Snell). Basically put, both Stephan A / Broussard have not actually heard any reports of Chicago being out. Everything they are saying about Chicago being out is really tied to their own speculation regarding Phils' reluctancy to do S&T (and Bulls not having the chips). Both of those guys are guessers.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 10:52 AM) Count me in the camp that thinks Kyrie is overrated. You can't be THAT good any never win more than what, 30 something games? I'm on record saying that I think Wiggins will be a bust. He'll maintain a place in the league because of his athleticism, but he's not some unstoppable offensive force either. Both are better than what he had the last time in Cleveland, but it still won't be enough to win a title against the best teams in the West and potentially the Bulls/Pacers. Dont say that around a Cavs fan, I got into a huge argument about whether he is top 5 PG.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 10:38 AM) Is it that NevadaBuck guy? I only ask because I used to look at the OSU scout insider board (one of my best friends went to OSU) and that guy had some interesting stories. Yes, he's literally the only real insider I have seen that has such a hit rate on commits etc. I still take it with a grain of salt but there has to be some smoke there for him to go out of his way.

The #1 insider on the OSU board who is really connected to OSU sports (and he claims the Cavs) said that Lebron to Cle is about done.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 07:05 PM) I love that guys reviews on phones. I watched a bunch of them when I was deciding on a new phone last October. That screen looks awesome. I mean its about time. I was beginning to believe they wanted phones to break so you had to buy a new one.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 08:58 AM) I know you love Garcia, but I'm going to have to see a lot more than one hot series in Colorado to think he's a legit 3-6 hitter next season with the White Sox. He might be forced into that role, but the jury's still out whether he will be able to produce power numbers to belong there and protect Abreu from being walked 125 times. And we don't have thump elsewhere. We have catcher, Conor, the possibility of even less power from SS and 2B (with Ramirez and Beckham trades or Alexei simply reverting to his offensive form of the last 2-3 seasons), and the probability of less or equal power from DH. When the Sox contend as it stands today they will probably end up buying a power bat for DH or something of the like. We just dont have enough in the stockpile. Well, unless Davidson figures it out.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 08:41 AM) The Padres extended Seth Smith yesterday. Options are dwindling for LF, especially a LH-hitting LFer. Do you want to be like the Red Sox and have 12 home runs combined out of your outfield on July 8th, 2015? If Bradley Jr. is the equivalent of Adam Eaton, then Nava/Holt/Sizemore/Victorino/Gomes is a fair approximation of what we'll have next season. Depends if you have thump elsewhere but generally you want at least one of your OF'ers to be a middle of the order guy if possible. With Avasail I would take another Eaton out there in a heartbeat.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 06:55 PM) No idea who this is, but a friend texted me this and thought I would share Clicks. Some dude on twitter made up a rumor that was retweeted once from a reporter and he got 200k followers in min.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 06:28 PM) Is Konerko already being asked to be part of the coaching staff in the future...or one of those, "give it a year or so and see how you feel" things where they're leaving the door open, like with Thome/Ventura, etc. No clue

QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 05:43 PM) Think PK will retire before the season is over? I wouldnt be shocked if he got hurt for awhile, but no.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 05:35 PM) I'm sure PK doesn't even care. He doesn't wanna be a full time player. There's sure to be a hole or 2 opening up for him. PK wishes he was in scottsdale on the golf course at this point. The farewell tour isnt even being acknowledged by anyone.

All the Cavs "insiders" on the OSU boards think they have Lebron.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 05:25 PM) I'll take it. As long as part of his rehab assignment is how to not land awkwardly while diving for balls haha. With the current trajectory of this team, hopefully there are some DH at bats for him somewhere or he can just statue out in RF.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 05:19 PM) Do you know what their plan is for him, Rock? His plan is to come back ASAP. Theirs WAS to sit out all year. He's making them think. Dude is a beast.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 05:10 PM) Lucky guess Santa told me.

What!!!!!!! Who would even THINK of saying he'd be back this year??????

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 04:44 PM) Would make for a great NBA season if Melo went to Chicago, Bron to Cleveland, and Bosh to Houston. Would create a few more extremely interesting teams to watch. In theory, Melo going to Lakers would be interesting too. Both would be more interesting then Knicks and create quite a few teams who could be contending for the title. At least spreads the wealth out a bit. I would love our chances to get to the finals obviously.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 01:21 PM) Google the Bryant and Cubs stories last year. Reports were he wasn't going to sign. He signed a couple of days before the deadline for slightly more than slot. Rodon will sign. It's all part of the Boras game. Besides, if Boras has spoken to the White Sox on Rodon's behalf, going back to college is no longer an option. Excellent point. It's not like they arent communicating either.
