QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 01:51 PM) Then win the games. That's what really killed them last year. They didn't win the games. Winning games doesn't affect the first games of the year. That is up to the fans.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 01:23 PM) Win the games. If fans don't show up in April and May, there won't be anything left to add on with.

United Center has nicer grip on their surface too.

Bears 20 Packers 17

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 02:00 PM) I REALLY loved Inception. LOVED. LOVED. LOVED. That is all. I liked it a lot. Just finished it out of Redbox. I won't go to loved, but it was very good.

Stupid, its the Hawks and Flyers that everyone is excited about.

Hopefully attendance responds. Jerry did his part, as did Kenny. Now it is the fans turn.

I've never gotten the impression the kid has the mobility for the OF, but I guess we will see. It is his only chance at playing time now.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 09:07 AM) According to Scott Gregor, Daily Herald White Sox beat writer, his inside sources say Chris Sale is a lock to be the White Sox closer in 2011. Eh, its not my first choice, but if we have to have him out there, we might as well use him.

Post em up here for history's sake.

Crawford needs some help! Dude is standing on his head and getting nothing.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 08:51 AM) So I hear there's some big game today or something. Hawks and Flyers!

QUOTE (beautox @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 02:16 AM) I personally feel that the Rays and Jays will be sitting atop the east when the season ends. I'm not confident in Boston's rotation as both the rays and jays have supeior pitching and depth. I seriously feel unless cashman Hal burns through the yankee's farm system for some legit pitching, it won't matter who they hand the games over to in the 7-9th. If you really believe that, go to Vegas and get rich.

Good god, this is Cleveland, WAKE UP!

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 9, 2011 -> 07:02 PM) The last week, I tried: Sam Adams Winter Lager Smithwick's Rogue Dead Guy Ale Hoegaarden Just cracked open my 1st Hoegaarden and I'm not a big fan thus far. Just seems really bland. But I'll have another before I make a final judgement. The other 3 I really enjoyed, especially the Dead Guy Ale. I tried it last night and loved it. It tastes like what Blue Moon was going for.

Excellent win on the road by Texas. Only OSU and San Diego St left as unbeatens.

File under interesting.... bradfo FWIW: Manny Ramirez hit just one HR on a fastball (92 mph vs. #Reds Jordan Smith in June) last season.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 11:56 PM) Link: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...ws&c_id=cws Mark does not rule out playing another 2 years but says he can walk away if that is the best situation for him and his family. He does not rule out an extension or even hints at playing somewhere lese if it comes down to being the best decision for him. Too early to speculate but one thing is for sure, he won´t command another 2/28 type contract. Or will he? How could he fit into our rotation for another 2 years considering Danks is still not signed and this is EJax´s walk year? Would it be a good investment to sign him to say either 2/18 or 2/20 as insurance? I mean you know what you are getting with Mark, good solid workhorse pitching with a few offdays. Thoughts? A lefty who puts up 200 IP every year, and usually has an era under 4? Heck I'd be he could get his same contract again on the open market. Forget two years, I bet someone would offer him four or five years easy.

Wow. Win Toronto just for getting rid of that deal.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 05:05 PM) Do you remember how much it used to cost before they switched hotels? I really do miss being able to go to Soxfest, it really was a blast. It was a flat $250 for the weekend, and the passes were included with the room.

IIRC, he wasn't getting paid a whole lot anyway, right?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 05:02 PM) You know full well that at optimum price levels you don't sell out every ticket. You just get really close ;-) As hard as they were hitting the ads, I don't think they really came close... otherwise they wouldn't have needed the ads still

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 04:58 PM) I disagree with the above assessment. Id take more than 4 players before Wade, and the Wade/Lebron is just not a great combination as they both have similar games (you can see my posts on the heat through out the summer about this issue.) Are you really taking Wade over Durant, Kobe, Lebron, Rose, CP3, Howard, etc? Wade is a great player, but if I was starting a team, hes not one of my top 5 picks, and thats what I consider a top 5 player. The injuries are what stops Wade from being in that top group for sure.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 05:01 PM) It's not ridiculous if they can sell the tickets. Supply and demand. They were trying to sell tickets all of the way up until today. I don't think they made it.
