QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 08:20 AM) I guess the question is which iteration of the YES Network are the Cubs actually shooting for? The original YES was a parternship between the Yankees and Nets and was a premium subscription channel like HBO or Playboy. Since then, YES has really morphed into a regular regional sports network. If the Cubs shoot for the original version of YES, it will be a disaster. If they are going for a more modern version of YES, it could work, but they still need to either get the rights to Hawks games (I'm assuming that the Bulls are a non-starter for obvious reasons) or get an affiliation with FOX Sports that gets them access to college basketball and other programming to fill the winter. See, thats the thing, doesnt Comcast pretty much have the Chicago version of YES? How would the Cubs be able to entice any of the other sports to jump, you would think Comcast would be able to squash that pretty quick

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 07:59 AM) Everyone needs to be canned. Seriously. The Bears are now in Raiders and Redskins territory. absolutely. Clown College going on at Halas Hall

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 07:19 AM) How was Kromer not fired on Monday when this happened? He can't be in the building still. God this is such a horrible franchise right now. I really don't think this coaching staff survives. Well, we all hoped for a totally embarrassing end to the season to force a mass change. That appears to be happening. Maybe Brees will hang 50 on the Bears at home just for the icing on the cake, which will look like a footprint on the back of the Bears heads

The Cubs want a YES network, I just don't know if that is possible.

I wonder what made Kromer fess up. I would lie about that s*** until the day the Bears stopped giving me checks

Steen is supposed to be one of those big guys with a lot of fly high moves, right? A young Bam Bam Bigelow type?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 08:02 PM) Rasmus also probably has an equally big potential to underperform a contract like that. Tony Rasmus says how dare you talk like that

Badger has his fingers crossed for Mel Tucker

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 07:29 PM) Do any projections have JD Martinez improving on last year? Or Conor? Obviously, the Tigers weren't willing to trust Rajai Davis to repeat his 2014, especially the first 3-4 months. They also weren't able to stomach a defensive black hole in CF manned by the likes of Don Kelly. Well first off, they aren't even remotely close to the same type of player, so putting them on the same projection path is odd to say the least. Second off, you indicated that maybe he was going to attempt the same thing Conor did, not "he won't improve because it is not likely". And that is even more odd when you read it the way you put it. And this is because what Conor did was sacrifice power for average, which i certainly dont see Martinez doing. I dunno man, sometimes your streams of consciousness in these threads are a bit out there.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 04:56 PM) Can Gose hit? Can JD Martinez do the same thing Gillaspie is attempting or was it a fluke? Will Castellanos take the next step? What happens at SS between Suarez and Iglesias? How long before Victor and Cabrera fall apart? What happened to the "real" Alex Avila...or is this the version they're stuck with? How long before that bullpen completely implodes again? Most importantly, which Verlander are they left with for the remainder of that contract? Can Anibal Sanchez remain healthy? They've traded Smyly/Porcello/Fister, lost Scherzer and replaced that with bigger question marks. Bottom line...still the favorite because the Royals haven't done anything yet other than sign Hochevar and Morales. Dyson in the OF over Aoki's probably a wash at best. Eh?

@FakeSportsCentr: Jay Cutler once stole $126 million from the Chicago Bears and didn't see so much as a court summons #CrimingWhileWhite

Could you imagine if Scherzer signed with the White Sox? This board would be bats*** insane Lol

Scherzer is still the large, multicolored-eyed elephant in the room right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 10:08 AM) If they do land Cueto somehow, they should be the favorite to win the AL. Did they fix their bad bullpen?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 07:22 AM) That's true and we have zero use for a DH currently, or at least zero use for a $4 million platoon DH. (And he hasn't even hit lefties that well the past two seasons.) Given his age, I'm not ready to declare him a bust, but he might have to break out somewhere else if it happens. I think right now we are at the point that we have to hope another GM believes that. I think one more season of what we got last year, and there is no return at all. Right now, I think he still has value(despite what a certain couple posters believe). I am comfortable gambling that he can be traded and could possibly break out

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 09:35 PM) Hibbard and Bere weren't teammates, but yeah, 1993 was solid. lol

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 09:45 AM) I just watched four seasons of Prison Break and really enjoyed it until about midway through Season 3. The final season's just not up to par. For whatever reason, it was one of the most popular, if not #1, American t.v. shows in China at that time....every woman in her 20's or 30's knows who Michael Scofield is...and Lincoln Burrows, and even Sucre. Of course, they're always disappointed when I tell them he later came out of the closet. Interesting actor/career. Didn't realize he'd gotten involved in writing screenplays and directing (Stoker). He even went so far as writing them under a false/fake name so they would be divorced from everything he's done as an actor. I think the first time I remember seeing him was a show called Boston Public. Wentworth Miller is Captain Cold in the new Flash series, and his Prison Break brother Dominic Purcell is Heatwave

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 05:58 AM) I was hoping for something like Harper + Zimmerman for Danks + Viciedo fixed that for you

Superbowl XXXVI 1993 Bulls vs Atlanta Hawks playoff game Thats all ive got so far

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 08:52 PM) Ortiz's first 5 years yielded a 1.3 OWAR, Dayan's is 2.3. Ortiz did take off in year 6 though. Ortiz played 150 fewer games in his first 5 seasons

This is pretty much a criminal act, when a game is won like that. I denounce SEMO and their entire staff for allowing this travesty

Why do the Bulls play so flat at home? Mind boggling.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 04:03 PM) SIU/SEMO game tonight! Good luck to you SIU fans. I think this is the final game in the Saluki/Ohio Valley Conference tournament.

Anyone following the Sony hack? So much egg on Sonys face, from the leak of movies like Fury and Annie, to ripping Angelie Jolie and Adam Sandler, the internal anger over the Spider-Man franchise and direction(as well as negotiations with Marvel). Every day something new
