Quintana Rumors: Round and round and round we go
QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 12:43 PM) I'm glad I was young when Joe Borchard busted. I don't know I could handle watching a guy hit a .900 ops in charlotte, then decline every year after and look more and more broken. Edit: Well I guess I lived it more with Beckham. IIRC it wasnt a secret that there was a huge hole in his bat, and it would get exposed in the majors. I dont remember people being surprised he fell on his face. Now I am going to go look at his draft and see who was grabbed after him, to torture myself and add some 20/20 hindsight venom edit: wow, kind of an unremarkable draft. 15th pick was Chase Utley, 29th pick was Wainwright. A bunch of nopes and fringe guys other than that

2016-2017 NFL Thread
I am willing to let him get a shot next year with a drafted QB backup as well. At one point Barkley was a pretty elite prospect, he absolutely has talent.

President-Elect Donald Trump: The Thread
I think we all are going to have to accept that Drumpf is all about using the presidential office to acquire and consolidate power for himself and whoever is in his circle. If the US benefits from it, well, thats fine.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 11:36 AM) I think the Cubs part is his own speculation since they have the pieces. Pretty much everything Rogers says is speculation based on what he sees in the newspaper compared against rosters

2016-2017 NBA Thread
QUOTE (Deadpool @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 10:52 AM) The idea of Forman hiring ANOTHER coach is nauseating. If Hoiberg goes, Gar goes down with the ship. IMO Forman has to go first. This is his frankensteins monster, his creation, all of it. Hoiberg has 3 1/2 more years of pay, and after JR sucked up an extra year of paying Thibs, i doubt he wants to be paying Hoiberg to chill out while he is paying another coach.

Quintana Rumors: Round and round and round we go
QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 09:08 AM) What I find so very interesting at this juncture is that, unless I missed it somewhere, I've seen nothing come out of the Pirates' camp suggesting Meadows is "untouchable", the way it seemed the message on Bregman and Torres/Frazier was sent out almost immediately by Houston and the Yankees, respectively. Obviously if Meadows is in play in some fashion, that puts Pittsburgh in the catbird seat, as Hawk would say, in this competition for Q's services. And I, for one, am just fine with that, because the various packages from Pittsburgh including Meadows and any combination of some of the other guys they have in their system (I happen to find Newman quite intriguing) seems like a tremendous haul for Q. I could have sworn there was a tweet recently that said they had no intention of trading Meadows because he is the heir apparent to Cutch

Quintana Rumors: Round and round and round we go
QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 08:45 AM) Ooooh, Dick, got me again, right? Uh, that would be a no. I just don't like this prospect who is a member of the Pirates. Oh horrors! You will also note he dropped in BA's rankings as well. And to think only a year ago you (and others) were lecturing me from your high horse about the seminal, generational talents of Frazier and Samardzija. LMAO! DA?! I have argued with him a billion times against a billion things but I can assure you that he never talked about the seminal, generational talents of those two. Maybe he said they were better than the options we had, maybe you got it confused when you were talking about the seminal, generational talent of Trayce Thompson and Tyler Saladino

STAR WARS Everything
When you think about it, starkiller base didn't even need to expel that sun energy towards a planet and blow it up. It basically destroyed that solar system just by killing the sun. I just put reality on pause for the most part watching these movies lol, no reason to think about the reality of what's happening

NCAA basketball thread 2016-17
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 12:29 PM) It was the straw that broke the camel's back. Not bush league. Probably should have shaken hands, but how ND conducted itself the last 4 or 5 minutes of the game, that was bush league. I think Fran addressing the coach in the handshake line would have been the appropriate reaction. Walking off the floor in that manner is poor sportsmanship, which is what he is protesting.

Quintana Rumors: Round and round and round we go
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 09:07 AM) The Pirates have a ton of young talent on their major league roster and could easily see a big jump in wins without making any other moves. Adding Quintana makes them a legit wild card threat IMO, which is about as good as it's going to get for them for the near future with the Cubs owning the Central. This is the part I dont see. They are probably gonna be looking up at the Cubs and Cardinals for the foreseeable future.

Quintana Rumors: Round and round and round we go
TBH i dont really understand Pittsburgh getting into the bidding at all. They arent a pitcher away from taking back the NL Central. They looked really mediocre at best last season, and dealing some of their top prospects for Q just doesnt really make sense to me. I mean, im all for it, i would love to keep stacking prospects, I just dont really understand this rumor

Christmas movies
QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 11:34 AM) I'm already having this same discussion elsewhere but just because a movie is set on or around Christmas doesn't make it a Christmas movie. As much as people think it's clever to include them every year, movies like Die Hard, Gremlins and Rocky 4 do not count. They aren't movies about the holiday itself. They are about events that just happen to take place around the holiday. It's a small albeit distinct difference IMO. To each their own. Gremlins, outside of being set at christmas time, has a storyline about how everything bad happens to Kate on christmas, and the Gizmo is given to the main character as a christmas present from his dad who is never home. Im not gonna argue your list and what does and does not count, and i will keep gremlins on mine lol

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 02:30 PM) Remember the Gore incident, I don't blame them at all. What incentive do they have to help their college? Remember they aren't sharing any of that wealth from the bowl games with them. From a player perspective, I totally get this. Do you mean McGahee? I don't remember anything happening to Gore

Quintana Rumors: Round and round and round we go
QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 02:11 PM) No, you don't understand. Q is the backup QB so he has only played against the 2nd unit (that's why it's the number 2 starter, they play the number 2 team). If he's traded to a GOOD team and is their number 1, he'll have to start playing their number 1 players and that's harder. It's just baseball, Kyyle. That really sucks for Quintana, he is gonna suck so hard when he has to pitch against real players. its always cool when other teams rest their 25 man roster and call up their minor leaguers to face the sox.

Quintana Rumors: Round and round and round we go
Since Quintana has no pressure, that means the opposing player has no pressure, since Quintana has been able to dominate opposing players in the box. Its all relative, when players show up to the Cell....um, G Rate, they feel no need to win the game because the Sox arent good, so they just let Quintana beat them since he doesnt have any pressure either. So, in summary, Quintanas numbers dont mean anything because nobody feels any pressure in the field where the White Sox play, therefore all numbers generated in the field where the White Sox play dont mean anything because Josh McCown
