A friend of mine lives in Florida and the beach by his house is completely destroyed. Here is before and after pics, the storm sucked all the sand off the beach and wrecked the dunes

QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 12, 2017 -> 08:29 PM) I missed most of the game......Did the Bears play Howard and Cohen together in a 2 back set at all? What about Cohen split out wide as a receiver? Dude has really good hands and looks like he could be something....Bears need play makers out there. They did a wildcat with Cohen as "QB" and Howard scored. I think that was the only time they shared the backfield

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 12, 2017 -> 01:16 PM) When did the Lakers tank? They traded Vlade for Kobe. They never tanked or had any top pick. They signed Shaq with free agent money, traded for Kobe, and then traded for Pau (for Marc Gasol). When did Miami tank? They drafted Wade @ 5 (and did not do any form of tanking to get there). They already had Zo on the roster (and obviously he had some health issues). Spurs were a very good team who lost its best player, David Robinson (who statistically was worth 20 wins on his own) and then had Vinny Del Negro and Avery Johnson (who were both quality players the year before) royally suck. Even then they had the 3rd worst record in the league at the time and won the lottery. They are the closest you can call to "tanking" of the teams on the list. The Warriors were just a bad team. They weren't tanking. Tanking is intentionally being bad / trying to be the worse in the leauge. The warriors were just a bad team for a long time and even then, it wasn't with super high picks that they excelled, it was with good picks, but nothing legendary. They drafted well and I think everyone on this board would say the Bulls failed at "tanking" if they ended up with a 7th and 11th overall pick in this year / next year's draft (which is what the Warriors did with Curry / Klay). Good teams get better because they drafted well...not because they just crazily tanked. The exception to this is the Cavs, who maybe tanked, but they also royally sucked and obviously won LBJ. The lakers tanked last year. The Spurs say they didnt tank but they ran crap lineups out and sat Chuck persons pretty much all season after Robinson and Elliott went down. The Warriors did tank, even as bad as they were prior to that season. They benched Lee and NateRob for scrubs, they traded Monte Ellis mid season. https://www.cheatsheet.com/stocks/5-nba-tea...html/?a=viewall Tanking isnt an art, there is luck to it because your pick isnt guaranteed by your record(hello Derrick Rose), but acting like it has to be a prolonged tank is not correct. Some teams fold up late in the season and "protect" their better players in order to give themselves a chance at a higher pick.

Yea let's make sure this guy doesn't go back to the A's

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 12, 2017 -> 12:33 PM) The Miami Heat, La Lakers, Boston Celtics, and San Antonio Spurs have made the vast majority of NBA championships post the Jordan era and none of those teams really built themselves by a prolonged tanking strategy. Golden State is the new dominant team and their best players were drafted 7th overall (Steph), 11th overall (Klay), 35th overall (Draymond) and Durant (Free Agency). I already know everyone is going to say, well the NBA doesn't work that way anymore, but all of those teams won a ton of championships without truly "tanking". Wade / Duncan were the two highest picks drafted by any of those teams, but neither were part of a prolonged tank. Duncan was a pure luck of a Spurs team that had its best player dealing with a back injury (David Robinson) and Wade was drafted 5th overall and very quickly the Heat were back out of the lottery (they were only in the lottery the year before they got Wade, when they drafted Caron Butler @ 10 overall). Prolonged or not, those teams tanked

In short, Jenks wants all the cameras

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 12, 2017 -> 09:55 AM) Last night was about as perfect of a night to win as you can get. What was strange was watching KC play just awful and stupid defense. I couldnt believe moose was as bad as he was.

Let's release the hounds on KC

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 10:56 PM) What'd he say about me?! he said you are certainly not the womens wrestling champion of the world

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 12, 2017 -> 08:51 AM) This stretch of Jose's is just incredible. Doesn't seem like you can get him out. and it isnt like he is squeaking in gork shot hits here and there. It seems like he is destroying everything

Extremely strange piece of trivia considering this season

Booooooooooo

Davidson has been as bad as Rons baseball assessments since he came off the DL

QUOTE (ron883 @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 09:57 PM) We all know what the stats would look like. Jose doesn't hit when the Sox are trying to contend. Always hits like crap when the Sox are still in it. Sure Ron

QUOTE (ron883 @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 09:53 PM) Jose might be the best hitter in the league when nothing is on the line. He's just killing it. Wish I could see splits for batting when his team is above 500 vs below 500. Tried but couldn't find it. gonna keep throwing that team dependent strawman out there to feel good about your bad threads, huh

Abreu is extremely DFA-worthy tonite

Gordon was denied reinstatement in May

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 05:14 PM) I've sensed a lot of anti Abreu talk on the site. You haven't? People want him traded. People ignoring his 31/90 like it's nothing. I've given people a chance on my praise Jose posts. Silence. You haven't read the posts saying if we can get anything good get rid of Jose? I've said we need some hard core older White Sox when we get good again to go with the kids. Silence. Why would you block a die-hard Sox fan. Cause his opinion differs from yours? Sure I get mad when I feel like people are dissing Abreu and Davidson. I get frustrated. So I keep trying to sway opinion or at least get somebody to offer some praise, in this case Jose and/or Davidson. Now a guy like Saladino? In the past I praised him as well. People said he was utility at best. They were right. I was wrong. I admit it and shut up. Saladino is no good. I do agree. You literally just proved his point about yelling at a cloud and made up some story about people on this site not appreciating Abreu And Pants Rowland can't read your reply because he blocked you

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 04:08 PM) 1) Reed is only 29 years old. 2) Reed is better than anybody the team has now in the bullpen, which isn't saying much. This has now become the worse White Sox bullpen since 1970. 1. Reed doesn't turn this bullpen into a better bullpen automatically. 2. Rebuilding. Buckle up

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 01:15 PM) Sliding into first base. Completely avoidable. Every season there are more and more examples of why you should not slide into first and every year players do it anyways

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 12:38 PM) I realize Alshon was always hurt but I really didn't like giving up the only real passing weapon we had for nothing. We have good running backs and solid TE's (hopefully Shaheen can emerge as the season goes on) but our WR corps opened the year bad and is now a total dumpster fire. Creates opportunities so hopefully, someone rises from the ashes of this corps. I am starting to come around to the fact that Alshon didn't want to be in Chicago. Many beat writers have alluded to or even come right out and said it. They should have traded him instead of tagging him but I think Pace felt he could re-sign him. Unfortunate mistake I kept an eye on him yesterday and he had a less than pedestrian game

i believe one of the beat guys tweeted that TAs upswing coincided with him starting to see a grief counselor in late July

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 10:07 AM) It's amazing it's only the 6th cycle in team history. The other amazing thing was last week when the Sox went back to back to start the game, it was only the 3rd time ever they did that. Also amazing: Tim Anderson was one double away from a cycle The sox had 3(!!!) players with a home run and a triple (Yolmer, TA, Abreu)

Eli used to be good, right?

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 10, 2017 -> 06:11 PM) Whatever happened to "no we're not bringing this guy up this season"? I think maybe our expectations are not realistic. Some guys look great when there is a lot of talent around them. That never happened, sorry. It was pretty universally agreed that once that super 2 time was up, unless he was complete dogs*** in the minors he was coming up
