It may have been crafty to acquire Peavy, but it certainly wasn't smart. However, in Kenny I Trust.

Happy B-Day.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 14, 2010 -> 07:22 PM) I'm surprised no one is talking about the three way trade expected to go down on Wednesday or Thursday. Lakers get: Joe Smith Houston gets: Terrance Williams New Jersey gets: Sasha Vujajic 1st Rounder from Houston 1st rounder from LA(IIRC) Sets them up really good for a Melo deal. Melo isn't going to the Nets!! The biggest deal here is Terrence Williams getting away from Avery Johnson. He's awesome.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 14, 2010 -> 08:45 PM) 127 Hours = incredible. SUCH a good movie. Speechless. I've never had a film put me in the mind of someone like that.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 14, 2010 -> 05:03 PM) Going to see 127 Hours tonight. It is fantastic.

Anyone who cares to consider just how f***ing amazing the Blackhawks were last season look no further than Dustin Byfuglien's production in Atlanta this season. He has 32 points... ...in 31 games... ...while playing Defense.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 14, 2010 -> 11:29 AM) I thought #3 was just awful. This.

Hey happy birthday, yo.

I can't believe I stayed up for that debacle last night.

God damn. The world did not need more Captain Jack Sparrow. At least the music still gets me pumped up for an obviously unrelated reason!

QUOTE (Ranger @ Dec 13, 2010 -> 12:11 PM) Then again, I'm fighting a losing battle, I see. Some people will always hear what they want to hear. It's true some will. I think most of us understand that while you can be frustrated (and you certainly have given your opinion especially when the team plays like crap) you can't exactly go all-out ripping on the Sox and expect to keep your pre and post job. I think you do a great job intelligently critiquing the Sox while making pre/post and WS Weekly great listens.

QUOTE (scenario @ Dec 13, 2010 -> 11:53 AM) In what fantasy world did Colby Rasmus become a superstar? I'm always fascinated... - how other team's young players with 'potential' are deified, and - how quickly our view of our own players goes from rockstar to dog s*** Colby Rasmus, at 23, had an .859 OPS last season while playing impeccable defense while making under $500k. Mark Buehrle had a 4.28 era while making $14 million. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that that trade would never, in a million years, happen.

QUOTE (Mattchoo @ Dec 12, 2010 -> 09:00 PM) MB is going no where unless he is traded to St Louis. My proposal is the following: MB for Colby Rasmus. TCQ for Matt Garza Sign two relievers. Offseason over. Maybe you can get the Cardinals to toss in Albert Pujols and pay half his extension while you're at it.

I, too, feel that was the worst season yet. I really just didn't care at all about the main villain storyline, and the show was written too haphazardly... items of consequence and great importance just got wrapped up too neatly and easily.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 12, 2010 -> 12:24 PM) The best PG's in the league now weren't the best in their 3rd seasons either, were they? That said, he's top 6 in the league without argument. DWill, CP3, Nash, Rondo, Westbrook, and Rose. That's your conversation until Wall moves in. Why are we looking at D-Rose as a pure point guard. Right now, in a game I had to win, I'm taking Derrick Rose over anyone on that list. He can score from f***ing anywhere and he can set his teammates up. He is amazing.

The very notion that the Sox would trade Mark is bunk. Jerry just opened his wallet for Paulie, do you really think a week later he'd allow KW to dump Buehrle? Mark is going nowhere.

Buncha pretenders. I'm going to put a hundo down on the Pats winning the Super Bowl. No one is stopping this team.

What were some jokers saying at the beginning of the season about John Wall already being better than Derrick Rose. Derrick Rose just might be the best player in the NBA.

Personally, I think our lineup takes too big a hit if you ship TCQ out for bullpen help. That's just insanity.

Cowley must have stolen that information from Soxtalk.

Bulls ftw!

A source told AOL Fanhouse's Ed Price on Friday that he is "certain" Rays right-hander Matt Garza will be traded this winter, probably to the Cubs. That'd be a nice get for the Cubs.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Dec 10, 2010 -> 11:28 AM) This game is this week's "title belt" matchup. This means that if after the 1st Super Bowl victory by the Packers they were awarded a hypothetical title belt they would have to defend it during each regular season and playoff game. The first team that beat them got the belt, and the first team that beat the new belt holder got the belt, so on and so on. Basically if football worked like boxing this would be a championship game. Just a fun anecdote. What a waste of someone's time.
