Cutler vs. Eli on satuday. I saw that matchup live back in 2003...my first football game in college. Ole miss kicked knocked in a 50+ yard FG as time expired to win it

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 05:52 PM) I love you daa, your my boy, but I'm calling your opinion complete bulls***. i understand alot of people are gonna disagree with what i said....and thats really ok...its just my opinion. Its not like im giving up on Dayan, and I think in terms of ceiling he probably has some of the most upside in the org., but i guess i just think the he's less likely to reach his ceiling than others are

on the plus side...maybe this is the last time we'll ever see contreras pitch

bah....those guys need to acclimate to each other out there.....rios covers a ton of ground, still should have made that catch

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 09:19 PM) Looks from Gameday like Q just missed that one? yeah it was on the track.....coulda been gone in a few other parks probably man rios just moves so well in the OF...good read, long strides

he has a .706 OPS at double A. Yes he's only 20, but exactly what part of his game suggests big league callup during a division race right now? IMO there isn't a guy more overrated in our system than Viciedo

QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 03:10 PM) please be sarcasm... of course it was QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 03:17 PM) I thought Dan Bernstein was on the air????? haha yeah i guess that smart ass comment was rather bernstein-esque....which i will kick myself for because i can't stand either B in the B&B combo....but especially the useless terry boers

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 01:41 PM) Just say no to Pods. With Rios in CF and Quentin in LF, there's no room for Pods. He's going to get 3-5 million this offseason, and with his mediocre defense and bad base running, he's just not worth that. ^^^ this exactly. Also as much as pods helped the team thus far this year....does anyone really think he's likely to repeat what he did?

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 01:33 PM) News to you? You think that Swisher was an average CF and Ramirez was below average at 2b. There is no rationalizing with you. Lord knows what you think about Pods in center. i think pods rulz in center cuz he is super fast and can run down anything and hes great cuz he steals lots of bases and distracts the pitcher when the next guy is in the batters box.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 01:06 PM) Royce Clayton. Ballgame. royce clayton was bad defensively? news to me

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 12:34 PM) Your signature is a joke. Ramirez below average D? Rios is my pick to click. That is all. well i'll give alexei credit, when i made my sig it was predicated that his horrendous metrics at 2b last year would carry over to the more difficult position, but he has improved on them to be at least in the neighborhood of an average defender. That said, having watched him at SS, I still think he's probably the worst defensive SS we've had in a while. I'd say he's probably even worse than Valentin who was a guy who made alot of errors but had ridiculous range and metrics. meanwhile, you are entitled to your opinion and me mine, but if i had to guess most soxtalkers would find it a stretch to say that my sig is a "joke" (at least the defensive part)...and i'm quite confident most would not classify alexei as "above average"

rios hits a s*** load of doubles....47 last year, 43 the year before....his 25 so far this year isn't quite on pace, but would still lead our team and i'd think alot of them will turn to HR as he comes to our park and gets further along in his prime....between he and beckham we will have alot of runners on 2b I think KW goes one of two options this offseason. Either A.) he is confident in Getz and Getz leads off next year, while KW brings both Dye and Thome back and lets pods go, or B.) He upgrades at 2b/SS/3b (with Ramirez and Beckham filling the other 2 spots accordingly) with a lefty while letting Thome go, with an OF of Pods, rios, quentin with Dye DH.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 12:26 PM) Crazy good or crazy bad? its a nice K:BB ratio....but his K:IP is far from special...106.1 IP 79 K 11 BB....so hes for sure going to be around the plate, but im guessing he's not gonna overpower anyone either

tulowitzski hits for the cycle

i hope i'm not the only one who just watched gorzelanny botch that play at the plate

its kind of exciting to say that we have a CF who at least has the capability of being sizemore/granderson from the right side

high risk, high reward...overall i like it because i think rios undoubtedly helps us where we need it most...defensively

carter easy

if in fact the hawks won't be able to resign one of Kane or Toews down the line....i can't help but think that this is going to factor in that decision...hopefully they are able to keep em both...that said what a b**** Kane is to do this if its true

mitchell is a BB machine

thats a terrific, terrific play by pauly....not many first basemen have the head to go to second there

Bham destroying cubs top pitching prospect andrew cashner...nice

I'll put this here, and i'm obviously not complaining cuz im still pretty happy with quentin...but chris carter is #1 on the baseball america hot sheet and is raking this year .333/.430/.560 with 19 HR

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 07:11 AM) Cocaine wasnt the cause of death, only a contributing factor according to the autopsy report, he was also found to be on a few hypertension and anxiety drugs. And he was to have hip replacement surgery the day after he was found dead, so he was on hydrocodone and oxycodone. Cocaine was part of it, but not the sole reason he died. http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainmen...0,3779585.story i'm not an expert yet but i would imagine it can't be good for you to have a heart condition and be on coumadin, zoloft, hydrocodone, oxycodone, and cocaine all at once
