LOL strangesox. i see your strikethru

Alexei is an odd choice for home grown, since he never actually played in the minors and was signed as a intl free agent

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 8, 2014 -> 01:37 PM) Which one? I've proposed a lot of deals to get Dunn back on the south side. the kajillion billion dollar deal for infinity.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 8, 2014 -> 12:53 PM) I am really shocked that the Yankees didn't try voiding his contract based on everything that happened in Miami. Maybe they still could. I thought i remembered that voiding it was a lot more complicated, and the Union didnt want to go down that road(ie. didnt want ARod to be an example that other teams would follow in a similar situation), so the Yankees were "dissuaded"

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 8, 2014 -> 12:44 PM) How are you going to judge that other than by "the sudden drop in performance, wins, and losses" if the team has already had a sudden drop in performance, wins, and losses associated with a terrible injury to their best player (and FA departure of their ~3rd/4th best player). Ok balta, you are right. He is good. Sign him to the Dunn deal that Wite proposed. Disregard anything that happened last season.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 8, 2014 -> 12:38 PM) Can they really fire him based on 2014-2015 if they didn't fire him after 2013-2014? They've lost George. There's literally nothing he can do to keep them from having a worse record. At least sign the thing now and see what they can build in 2015-2016. Why extend him, i would watch how he handles this season. If another locker room mutiny happens, regardless of personnel that is on the HC, that cannot be tolerated

Why is Holliday available? That guy was electric as a return man in Denver, did he get hurt? Btw, SS2k5 every time i click on that link about signing a rookie safety, it brings me to the front page of the trib

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 8, 2014 -> 12:01 PM) I have a hard time seeing the Yankees write him a $60 million check. Agreed. The Boss would have done it, without thinking twice. But Hank is no George

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 03:35 PM) If the Yankees really want to be done with ARod, I wonder what their next move is. He's eligible to return next season and will likely be healthy, and if he's healthy, they can't put him on the DL. Do they DFA him? Girardi said a few weeks ago that he expects Arod to be at third next season http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/eye-on-baseba...r-third-baseman I wonder if that is lip service or if he knows the Yankees arent buying him out

wow, Pacers locked up Vogel http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/11664029...-indiana-pacers I thought they would take a cautious route with him seeing how that team swan dived in the second half last season

QUOTE (shysocks @ Oct 8, 2014 -> 09:00 AM) ...that everybody is sick of... LMAO he totally missed the point. I get you though, new blood, new matchups.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 8, 2014 -> 08:59 AM) After looking through the article...one thing that stood out to me is that the steroid era is not discussed. That's a big part of this too. Roger Clemens in 1997 was a guy in his mid 30s coming off 2 of the worst seasons of his career who relied heavily on his fastball that was probably starting to betray him. There are plenty of ways that signing him could have gone badly had you not predicted that he'd find a guy to stick needles in his ass. That article also focuses heavily on "lineup protection" when there have been convincing arguments here that its more important just because you drive in the guy who is on base, not in the lineup protection part. And this is a totally different article if the Sox make a playoff run in 1994. Which, sadly, was stopped because of their own owner.

I think Schueler just ended up staying in place while the MLB GM game passed him by. He was very into homegrown talent and not trading assets, which was the way things were done when he started. But he never really adapted to the way the game changed, until(ironically) the White Flag trade.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 08:43 PM) RDJ was on Stern and said there are no plans for IM4. Said Gibson probably wouldn't want to direct anyway. I think as soon as RDJ agrees to, or declines IM4, plans for IM4 will appear.

So, who is Mattinglys replacement? Can't wait to hear the real story behind Puig getting benched yesterday.

Wow, I'm surprised they didn't get it. It is the Posey call

Giants are going to get the play at the plate again

Good lord Bryce Harper

I liked the Flash, it was well done

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 04:02 PM) Spidey means Marvel can do Civil War and he'd add an interesting dynamic to a team of heroes with public identities. And if Marvel ever does Civil War, it'd shatter any and all box office records. I think they are going to finish the Thanos story before they crack open the Civil war

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 06:45 PM) Hope Adams did a curtain call to piss Kyle off

RDJ got a huge payday for Avengers/IM3/Avengers 2+3. I can only imagine what Marvel is throwing at him to continue being Tony Stark

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 02:19 PM) and then back tracked at the Monday press conference after talking to both players I think i will trust his post game comments more than the damage control

Jay has warts, i get it. But some people will never get over the fact that he isnt Aaron Rodgers. Newsflash, there is only one. There is worse options out there, and even though the bears settled for the cute fat chick for 3 years, its much better than settling for fat chick one night stands for 20 years And I apologize for continuing that analogy.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 02:13 PM) The curl route was covered the fly was wide open. If jay recognized this as marshall did it would have been a touchdown. Whatever miscommunication happened between jay and marshall we will never hear, but Trestman clearly called out Marshalls f*** up post game.
