QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 20, 2013 -> 12:17 AM) f*** it, I'd be much happier with 16-32 team playoff. Reduce regular season length if necessary. Every other level and sport can do it. Eliminate the stupid bowls. You're 6-6, you don't deserve a postseason Thats the problem, they are INCREASING conference play.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 11:41 PM) 8 seems like too many, could have 2 loss teams in with undefeated teams. Maybe ill think differently later but 4 seems right. 6 with two byes would be nice but I think 8 is perfect.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 11:38 PM) Until 2 of Alabama, Oregon and fsu lose, osu won't be able to go anywhere. Rose Bowl, not so bad. Still have to win out and so do they. Conference play is tricky and everyone is vulnerable. Matchups make alot of difference. Iowa today had a game plan that OSU may not see the rest of the saeson, but it worked for 2 quarters. Bama is going to play some teams that know how to stop them. This is why the playoffs will be so great. I f***ing cant wait. Tournament formats is what makes college bball so superior to everything.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 11:35 PM) OSU may end up being the team who is most hurt by the way the Wisconsin -ASU game ended. Looong season. NW getting mentally destroyed in Evanston wasnt great. This is why the playoff will be great when they expand it. We only worry about the top 8 teams or so eventually.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 11:19 PM) Probably not (definitely no if Quintana) I'll PM you, but its clear the Sox want a veteran bat somewhere in the lineup, and my guess is its not a part time spot.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 11:28 PM) I wonder how the rankings will shake out. Ohio State isn't likely to lose, but that team continues to struggle against mediocre opposition. As opposed to Baylor, which is beating the s*** out of mediocre opposition. Great week of games to set up a fun stretch run. Its a long season, it will shake out. Conference play is a wild card as shown by the SEC this morning and most of the late games.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 11:01 PM) Victorino has 2 years and 26 mil on his deal after this season So, would you take him for 2 years and lets say 12 million to play CF while also losing one of our young players, maybe an SP

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 10:53 PM) Fsu is going to join the Alabama and Oregon tier, what a showing Cant WAIT for the 8 team playoff years.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 10:42 PM) As long as he's the 4th outfielder, okay. They need some more veterans on the ballclub to teach the youngsters how to play the game the right way. Unfortunately I believe for CF. I dont hate it, but I dont like it. The thing is you cant just sign him, which is good.

The Sox have interest in Victorino, your thoughts?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 18, 2013 -> 04:34 PM) *shotgun cocking sound* You gonna marry that girl right now, ya hear? LOL, definitely went to someone else's wedding and ooops.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 09:43 PM) Winston vs Mariota for Heisman now Could be. There are a few sleepers. Johnny football lost but had a killer game.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 05:39 PM) Today is convincing me that the Big Ten blows. I can't defend it. Did you see the SEC earlier? You can't determine all that much from conference games. OOC they weren't too bad.

Never went on ours....Knocked her up too fast

QUOTE (Dunt @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 11:53 PM) Can you just post it now? I wanna just not sleep the entire night now Just did bro. Off to GTA land. I suck so bad at it, its been YEARS

Alright about to go play GTA and then hit the hay. Nugget: One of the Agencies who have been in touch "informally" with the Sox fairly recently has been ACES. Do some research and you can probably get some names.

GTA time, look me up for teaming, I kind of suck

Before I go to bed ill share a juicy nugget on the board, its pretty general.

Hey guys, my inbox will probably be full by the time I hit the hay but dont stop bugging me. Ill get to you I promise.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 11:30 PM) I really doubt we have the money for mcCann but if we were to some how sign him I might s*** my pants everyday till opening day, and I wouldn't even care. He's a perfect fit and is young enough could be + production we desperately need. I just don't know if Hahn has it in him. Anyone know if he was asked that at the fan conference call today? If I was to gues, I would say we have over 10 million to spend, probably more like 20 this year.

Koji reminds me of Dustin Hermanson at his prime.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 11:12 PM) When the Seahawks get some of their players back they are going to be so damn scary. 6-1 for the first time in their history. Wow.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 11:26 PM) Call me silly if you want but McCann, AJ, or bust. I dont see AJP coming back. I think Salty and McCann are realistic. The Sox still have some money to spend and they also had some decent trading chips. They also want at least one good Vet in the lineup, now that could be Dunn or Konerko, the jury is OUT. And it looks like everything is quiet on the Abreu front, sounds to me like its a done deal pending physical. I'll see if I can get some travel information as far as timing.

Hey guys, as of this moment I have about 50 PM's, ill try to get to them.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 11:16 PM) I liked the Kepp signing originally, but learned to hate him as the season progressed. That said, I dont think he is as bad as he was this season. He was signed as a starter and showed once again he's not. At least not on a contending team.
