QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 12:39 PM) I'm of the opinion that an ace is one of the most overrated possessions. I think having a great rotation is the best thing to have, but having an "ace" is not all that different from having a really, really good pitcher. What ace was on the 2005 team? It was filled with guys we'd say were 2s and 3s. Contreras finished out that season as an ace. And continued that through the beginning of 2006. He was just filthy after the break

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 11:25 AM) Take the best offer you can get then move a guy or two for Price and ink Price to a long term deal. Hopefully at the end of the day you have Price and an A rated prospect Sale would fit into Tampa's budget as well...... LMAO, you think the Rays front office would just take a guy or two for Price?

Im pretty wary of trading Sale too. Returns like the A's got for Haren are the exception, not the rule. Johan Santana and Miguel Cabrera's returns were abysmal

He was pretty filthy in his prime. Too bad he wasted most of that prime in Toronto

Its just gonna be an ice cold game tonite.

Yea that was an amazing catch to end the game. Tough way to lose for the Vikings on that pass interference call

The Lions are lion-ing

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 01:15 PM) Any report on what it was? Didn't look like bad tackle on replay I saw. Right ankle injury

QUOTE (Lillian @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 10:35 AM) "It ain't over, til it's over" 5 years says "it's over"

Lol they wanted Felix Hernandez throwing BP between starts to help hitters work on things? What a joke

One day Lillian will realize that the dream is over

Hmmm, pinned on the staff. There will be sacrificial lambs here, names will be outed soon

Missouri/Auburn is pretty exciting so far

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 7, 2013 -> 11:33 AM) Andro hardly did anything and was legal at the time. I would guess that McGwire was using actual steroids and had the Andro around as a distraction as if to say "I got huge like this legally" I think around that time McGwire was the Bill Romanowski of baseball in terms of juicing. If it could be taken, it was

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 7, 2013 -> 11:17 AM) The question I keep wishing someone would answer is why didn't the clean players rise up? Why didn't the guys who were getting screwed by not taking PEDs not go public in a big way? Absent of any solid information that I can find my answer is that they were intimidated by MLB Inc. That they didn't want to bite the hands that fed them. Now, MLB Inc. decides to clean up the players. I can see a backlash against MLB and empathy for players in all this. It must be infuriating when your employer basically rewards you for rules breaking then suddenly adopts a holier than thou attitude. It sickens me that the game was basically taken over by cheating. The MLBPA kept them on a leash. Don't you remember when Frank Thomas tried to organize a union defiance so that the clubhouse had to be tested for PEDs, only to have the MLBPA quash it? The MLB and MLBPA were both a part of protecting the users. There would be no uprising

Niu must have had a motivational speech from Mel Tucker

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 6, 2013 -> 01:19 PM) I mean, that assumes they can't find a QB in the draft too. But would it be so terrible to go 1 year with McCown from Bears or Cutler on a long term deal? (ooo ooo I know, we'll sign Cutty long term and trade him to Houston for #1 pick, sound good ?!?!?) lol it sounds good, but Houston would never do that. Their first round pick is more valuable than a long term deal with Cutler

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 6, 2013 -> 12:41 PM) Not sure. Schaub is kind of a weird case. Palmer at least had a major injury that messed him. Schaub just went from really good to really bad in one season. Schaub has had a lingering lisfranc issue, but it is still strange how he became Grossman

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 6, 2013 -> 11:56 AM) I'm still not sold on them being THIS bad. They have a lot of injuries. Heck, even the Knicks are better than this. Both will be playoff teams, and I expect the Nets to give the Heat and Indiana some games. Especially the Heat with their size. edit: I also think if they keep up this pace Kidd will be gone. They look like an uncoached team right now, especially on offense. It's bring the ball up the court, give the ball to someone, dribble in place and then go iso. Which is bizarre if you think about it, Kidd is legendary for his ability to get the ball moving and assisting other players.

cant lose 11 in a row in a season when you were expected to possibly go to the Superbowl

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 6, 2013 -> 10:41 AM) I still feel like they could stall and make a season out of half a book if they really needed to. absolutely. IMO its going to take at least 4 years to completely catch up to the books, despite what HBO set as their timeline. We are still just midway through book three going into season 4

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 6, 2013 -> 10:28 AM) It's the Knicks/Nets who have f***ed the conference up. If those two were playing anywhere near their talent level (or even last year's level) the conference wouldn't look nearly as bad. Then we'd only need teams like the Wizards, Hawks and Pistons, who all have more talent than the Bulls sans rose, to be better over 82 games. And the funniest thing about both of those teams is that they have eliminated their own ability to improve with the draft.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 6, 2013 -> 09:40 AM) Random question, but does Wedge still post here? I was watching the original Star Wars trilogy the other day and the question crossed my mind. according to his profile he was last visiting the site in late august
