2013-2014 NFL Thread
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 08:40 AM) My biggest issue is the poor tackling. DeCamillis is a joke too. He has no excuse and needs to be fired immediately and the Bears need to bring in someone who really has a history of defensive excellence. Depending on who the Texans hire, I would be all over Wade Phillips. Wade Phillips as ST coach? I dont think he will be taking a step back from DC to be a ST coach. The Texans may suck, but IIRC their defense is still top 5. Im sure many teams will be looking for him as a DC if the Texans dont hang on to him

Such a crazy year. Injuries, the defense and ST falling off, the offense becoming something to be proud of, Jeffery becoming an absolute beast. It may be frustrating as hell, but I'm watching until it's all over

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 07:34 PM) What are you talking about? HHH being promoted is a major topic in wrestling circles and a lot of people have reservations about it. You non stop complain about HHH, that's what I'm talking about. Suck it up, unless he dies or gets busted cheating on Stephanie, he is going nowhere.

Two bad defenses. Two good offenses. So far the Bears have the only stop. Lol

Catch-All Anything Thread
Aldi is too irregular with things that I need for me to go there frequently. Right now I go to Butera in elgin for my meat and fruit/vegetables, and go to Jewel for pretty much everything else. I used to go to Valli food in Hoffman Estates/Schaumburg before we moved to Sleepy Hollow. I miss that place, their prices were better than everywhere else near me.

Teams begging Sox for Chris Sale
QUOTE (scs787 @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 01:05 PM) Numbers wise they're already comparable and Q has room to grow. The first half of 06 you guys are touting Count had a 3.38 ERA, Q in the 2nd half had a 3.21. I know that's cherry picking and mismatching a bit, but I think it's somewhat valid. He was dominating until he hurt himself, i believe he hurt his back in June. Look at his splits in April/May, then in June is when he got hurt. He was dealing

Teams begging Sox for Chris Sale
QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 01:08 PM) I guess to me being an ace is not a state of being. You either are one or you aren't. You might be able to impersonate one for 35 starts, but it becomes quite clear over your career whether or not you are one. We have always known that Chris is an ace. Before he had ever pitched like one, we knew that was what we had. Jose Quintana could go 22-2 next season with a 2.8 ERA and we will still know that he is not an ace. Hard to say with Contreras. By all accounts in his Cuban years he was every bit an ace, which is why the Yankees backed up the cash truck when his Contreras defected. What we saw looked like an ace. Your opinion is that he is just a good pitcher that got hot, but he pitched the part of an ace for that team. He wasnt just a really good 2 or 3.

Teams begging Sox for Chris Sale
QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 12:43 PM) But of course, he wasn't an ace. That's the cool thing about having a lot of really good pitchers. Chances are, at any given moment one of them will pitch like an ace. Contreras was super inconsistent and just got hot. That's why he only cost us Esteban Loaiza, who was also an ace for five minutes. Nobody comparable to Chris Sale on that team and that's okay. It wasnt any given moment though. His numbers for almost a calender year were that of an ace. He wasnt inconsistent at all, he was straight up dominant. Before the 05 break, and after the 06 break it was the inconsistent guy. But he absolutely elevated his game to an Ace.

Teams begging Sox for Chris Sale
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?

Hahn says trade talks have heated up.
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
