QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 10:26 AM) If Adam Dunn continues playing well I'd be shocked if we did not trade him at the deadline Exactly. LH power thats playing well will be in demand.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 10:10 AM) Are you hearing this or just pure speculation? Would Alexei be in the same boat then considering the scarcity of good SS's? part of the plan was hoping to deal some of the older players for younger talent and then spend money if/when they can actually contend.

I'd be shocked if we werent sellers at the deadline. Adam Dunn could net us some serious value for the future alone.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 09:39 AM) Its a racket. It really is. They will take you for every dollar they can squeeze out of you. My family knows a dealer very well and we literally only buy cars he sells because of that.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 09:15 AM) Im glad I am waiting out reading the books. I want to read to fill in the blanks, but at the same time I dont want the disappointment you guys are feeling by not seeing certain things play out the way you expected They are almost 2 different things as the show is an interpretation of the books. I fully recommend starting the books now depending on how fast you read because you are probably going to want to do a re-read at some point. I've gone through almost 3 full times now and each time it gets better. Everyone s***s on book 4 and 5 because there were less wars and action but in reality the information presented is awesome. Of course my favorite character is probably Arya so I like her arc.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 08:09 AM) At least a third of AFfC was almost unreadable. I would have been pretty pissed if I had been waiting years for book number 4 and then that's what came out I thought that the first time through since there were slow parts but going back through the series I liked it even more.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 03:00 PM) You're crazy. That was phenomenal episode. I love the deviations. The 4th and 5th book pretty much suck. I want to get through those storylines ASAP. I disagree on the books. I loved them all.

Excellent games last night. Nothing is better than the NHL playoffs.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 11:11 AM) We've won 1 Big Ten game in 2 years. It's pretty easy to be negative. We have fans of other programs on the previous page saying the same things as me. It's just how we are looked at, for good reason. It's not really negativity though. It's just realistic. it's gotten to the point where there are fans (even in this thread) that are ok with not ever being at the top level of the conference.

I hated GoT last night. WTF are those story lines?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 05:48 PM) What an incredible performance by the penalty killers today, especially with so many of their top guys in the box. While the last two weeks has me way more confident about beating the Avalanche, let's go Wild! I want no piece of Colorado.

That trade scared everyone and it accomplished nothing. Ott never scored a single goal as a blue. I did appreciate seeing who gives up on a team through 2 games of the first round.

I have recipes for both a hot and cold crow dish for some folks dinner plans.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 01:17 AM) I'm getting closer and closer to buying my first new car. It's kind of intimidating since I don't know what to expect. I'm still not sure whether I'll lease or buy, but I know I've narrowed it down to a Jeep Grand Cherokee, Wrangler Unlimited or a Dodge Charger. I'm 24 and building credit, so I don't know how my credit score will effect my interest rate and what kind of loan I might qualify for. The JGCs are the bomb. I've had a 2011 and 2014 of the new model and both have been pretty much rock solid. If you don't care about tech, the wrangler is also nice.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 12:36 AM) Who cares? Also, god forbid Beckman gets credit for getting anything right... The players will care And what exactly did he "do" right that you wanted to give him so much credit for? Are you happy with his recruiting results since he's been hired? How about his on field results

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 06:17 AM) If you're talking about Gabe, he's 4 star on Scout. No, he's their highest ranked guy. The QB was not ranked at position and a 3 star. I assumed that was the number 10 guy in state.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 01:17 AM) Ridiculously huge get. Monstrous. "Last year, highest ranked State of Illinois recruit on the 24/7 composite list: #25. This year we've landed #4, #6, and #10. It's April." The number 10 guy in il is a 3 star?

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 12:57 AM) Sup. That was before game 4. And he's clearly still concussed.

Now it's real.

They owe us about four power plays. Maybe in OT?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:45 PM) Jim Tressel He's about to be the president at Akron.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:30 PM) looked like they just grabbed the one of the hawks (saad?) and just threw him to the ice Yep. Slew foot on the blue line right in front of the ref. no call.

This isn't going to end well if the blues aren't getting called for penalties right in front of the refs.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:08 PM) That's a great get. Was getting offers from all over the country. I wonder who is going to be his coach once he's ready to play.

Backes with the nice crosscheck after the goal.
