QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 20, 2011 -> 12:07 PM) I get that. The question is why? Just pretend you're a D-backs fan for a second. You've got a 24-year old that's obliterated AAA the last year+. He's a good athlete and versatile. His BB rate sky-rocketed. Nady and Miranda, well, they suck. There's no logic here. I think it is pretty clear. The Sox were willing to trade him for a middle reliever/set up man. The Diamondbacks have put crap in front of him. Its obvious to me that both organizations felt Allen isn't that good, for whatever reason.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 20, 2011 -> 09:00 AM) Brandon Allen would be far and away the top prospect in our system, not including Sale, and in the top 10-12 in many others. I can't really pinpoint why Arizona hasn't given him a chance yet. Then again, they've traded Max Scherzer and Dan Haren for pretty mediocre returns. And I don't know where you get that 4 guys are ahead of him on their depth chart. He's second only to Juan Miranda at 1B. And they've got the great Xavier Nady in LF, another position Allen could potentially play. If you think the Sox 'won' that trade I would hate to see your definition of lost trade. Pena sucks. Allen is getting blocked by Miranda and Xavier Nady. That probably said more than anything else that could be said.

@jcrasnick Just heard that the #whitesox have informed Brent Morel that he's won the starting 3B job #espnst

QUOTE (Tex @ Mar 20, 2011 -> 08:10 AM) Yes, you can put a price on doing the right thing. We have with our neighbor Mexico. We are so panicked that Mexican Nationals will bankrupt this country by coming here to work, we are building a wall to keep us protected. Yet we have hundreds of billions of dollars to fight battles against Muslims. It's curious we have not had to fight any battles against English speaking countries or Christians in the past 100 years. I guess it comes down to who gets to decide who lives and dies. The current government in Libya or someone else. Could you image some country using Kent State or Ruby Ridge as justification to attack the US? Texas and many other states have sent thousands of criminals to death, how is that different than other countries doing the same? The last line is a huge exaggeration. More accurate would have been using the civil war, or more accurately, something like Sherman's march to the sea.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 20, 2011 -> 12:32 AM) It is pretty funny that all the experts called Pitt's region the easiest yet they were the only top 4 seed to not advance to the Sweet 16. I had Wisco coming out of that bracket. It really was set up for them.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 20, 2011 -> 01:15 AM) You can't make that foul call with under a second left. Let them play OT. No one was going anywhere with the ball or making any sort of shot from there. I know it was stupid to even be down there in a position to foul, but use some judgment and don't call that. What a joke. I was explaining to the wife that I wouldn't have made either call in the last two seconds. I know there is the call it by the rules people out there, but for my two cents, why change the game in a material way, when both of those plays involved players that had no chance at scoring, and putting them into situations where they could win or lose the game? I hated those calls. The kids were 50 and 90 feet away from the basket. They had no chance at scoring. Let it go.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 19, 2011 -> 11:56 PM) Is Ben Gordon's career a bad one? He succeeded enough to earn a pay day contract. I'd sure as hell take it.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 20, 2011 -> 01:18 AM) Someone is offering to give me Illinois +19.5 (actual line is +8.5). I'm not trying to be a homer but think I have to take it... Yeah, anytime someone is willing to give you 11 extra points, you take it.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 20, 2011 -> 07:40 AM) Jesus dude, give it up, the White Sox are not going to put Thornton in the rotation, no matter how much you complain about it. That ship sailed years ago.

QUOTE (Tex @ Mar 19, 2011 -> 10:12 PM) When you really, really want someone to honor a posted in a thread bet, they never do Touche

Its not often you see Wisconsons defense get lit up the way Pullen is going.

QUOTE (SpainSOXfan09 @ Mar 19, 2011 -> 08:35 PM) It should not matter if he is under our control for 6 more years after his initial 4 year contract is up, should it? Think Kalapse explained that somewhere. He is just under our control for six major league seasons of experience.

Two non-shooting fouls in the last two seconds of a game to decide it. I don't think I have ever seen that. Especially when you mix in being 50 and 90 feet away from the rim on the fouls.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 19, 2011 -> 06:53 PM) I'll shave my legs and get a Justin Bieber Tattoo if he's better than Soria. Not that he couldn't be. That would just be amazing. Someone please bookmark this thread, just in case.

I went for about a 10 year stretch where I didn't talk to my Dad. Somethings you just can't live with.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Mar 19, 2011 -> 07:07 PM) OT with Temple and San Diego State. X2

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Mar 19, 2011 -> 06:40 PM) Pitt always lets me down in the tournament. I ended up picking them to win it all in one of my money brackets because only 3 others out of 40+ picked them to win it. But I'm not expecting them to go all the way. How they hell do you play a zone against Butler?

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Mar 19, 2011 -> 06:37 PM) For Michigan it'll come down to their 3 point shooting. They have to be shooting lights out. Their best post player Morgan can't get into foul trouble either. And those are two huge ifs against Duke.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 19, 2011 -> 06:35 PM) Wait, you mean having one pitch and dominating the 8th inning won't translate to having one pitch and dominating the 9th? Good move. I'm actually proud of Ozzie here. Not that I don't want to see Matt close or anything, but you just described Thornton here too.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Mar 19, 2011 -> 06:34 PM) I hope you're wrong haha I'd love to be wrong, but I just don't like the match up at all.
