KC has a record above .500 so Danks will be fine if he continues the whole trend I brought up a few weeks ago. He's gotten torn apart by sub .500 teams and an ERA in the high 2s against winning teams.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 15, 2014 -> 03:57 PM) I'm really interested to see who they pick. I still think Frey has the inside track, but maybe Hayden due to special teams. FWIW, they cut Hayden at the final cuts, brought em back, then cut him again...So I'm not real sure what they think of him. I really liked what I saw in Louis-Jean and hope he gets the call. Frey was just meh to me last year.

Rotoworld Football ‏@Rotoworld_FB 8m Bears placing CB Tillman on year-ending I.R. http://dlvr.it/6w9f4Q Tough break for Tillman. As much as it pains me to say it I think the Bears might be better off though.

It'll be interesting to see if they keep Vereen in that role or if they call up Frey/Louis-Jean. I was big on Vereen in the offseason and remember saying if he failed at FS he should have a chance to play CB.

Anyone notice who the nickle CB was down the stretch? They had 4 CBs active last night and 2 of em, Peanut and McManis, got hurt.....Vereen?

Kyle freakin Fuller!

If not for that botched Bennett review we could be looking at 10-17 game at least, perhaps even a 14-17 game.

Middle of this Bears D is S-A-W-F-T SAWFTTTTT (The rasslin fans will know what I mean)

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 14, 2014 -> 07:01 PM) Ascension will be called up soon. Wishful thinking on my part I reckon... Kenta gets Justin Gabriel this week...Should be a good one.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 14, 2014 -> 02:29 PM) Hope you picked Dalton Sigh...nope....I got 26 points out of starting QB and 2 RBs combined. Jimmy Graham and Dez Bryant picked up the slack though and I'm still in line for the W though.

RG III in big pain on a non contact play..... RG III = D Rose

I think I can still pickup a Cutler replacement for this week......Dalton vs ATL or Locker vs Dallas? Dalton seems obvious but Locker looked good and he's facing the Cowboys awful D.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 13, 2014 -> 11:26 PM) Last year Semien combined for a .805 OPS w/ 16 HR, .375 OBP against righties. It's not as if he was bad. This year, he combined for a .740 OPS against righties ... which was certainly weighed down, like the rest of his stats, by his rocky start in MLB and injury when he went to AAA. Perhaps saying "how bad" was a bit exaggerated. He's certainly been bad at the major league level though. 172ABs vs RHP and he's hitting just .215. And like I said in my edit, I don't think the walks will come as often if he can't hit the fastball.

My Semien kool aid got a little sour after looking at his splits. I loved him until I saw just how bad he's been against RHP, something this team will face the most. Also, I'm not sure how they come up with number, but he's got a negative 5.2 rating against fastballs this year...I'm not sure the walks will come as much in the bigs if he continues to struggle against the fastball. I'd love to be wrong with all that, but right now I'd be fine if he was traded this offseason.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Sep 13, 2014 -> 10:53 PM) He really isn't. Back to my hole. We all have our opinions and no, he didn't walk much at all in AAA but he's shown the ability at other levels (.414 OBP in AA this year and .422 in A the year before). Me and Hawk are sharing the Micah kool aid, I think he has a chance to be a real good hitter.

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 13, 2014 -> 10:41 PM) I was wondering on how the FO was planning in the offseason, esp with acquiring players either thru fa or trades. my initial question is, next yr, what or who will take over the leadoff if eaton gets hurt, furthermore if Alexei is not in the equations. I was wondering if any of the young prospects coming up will be able to fill that position. question can Semien will be that player? Micah Johnson is your prototypical leadoff hitter.

QUOTE (BaconOnAStick @ Sep 13, 2014 -> 09:58 PM) I'm still uneasy about giving up on Tank. As am I. If the Sox can snag a LH LFer I'm game to keep Tank around another year. Not a huge fan of any of the FAs though. Melky and Rasmus scare me a bit, and Markakis is just kinda meh to me. Real nice to see a 5+ game improvement considering how awful the pen has been most of the year. Had the bullpen moves worked out we're looking at at least a 10 game improvement overall.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 13, 2014 -> 09:20 PM) Surkamp been pitching well lately. That he has. Wonder if they keep him as a 2nd lefty (Hoping we acquire a LH SU man) or let him go back to starting.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 13, 2014 -> 08:13 PM) Crushed to RCF. I think he goes on a power roll for the next few games. I hope so too...I could use some money (re: fantasy baseball)

Well that was easy.

Tyler is so clutch. =)

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 13, 2014 -> 12:24 PM) Is Bull Dempsey on of scs's Indy boys? Nope....Therefore he is garbage =) Speaking of NXT, I wonder if since the Ascension, a tag team, came out if they plan on giving Kenta a tag partner while he continues to learn more english. If so I hope they "let him bring in his own guy" and make it Devitt. That'd be a whole lotta fun.....Them breaking up and feuding would be even more fun.

AP has been deactivated for Sundays game....Wow.

Really hate postponing games hours before they start....Radars, always seem to be wrong a good deal of the time.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 01:51 PM) OK, I'm looking at Google Maps right now. I see the spot on the SW corner of Harrison/Wells, and it's big enough for a stadium but with very little room for parking. Sox aren't going to give up all that parking revenue they are getting now. The spot on the SW corner of Roosevelt/Clark is much bigger, and also only one block from the Red/Green/Orange lines. Yup, that's where I was referring to. Should be plenty of room for parking from River City on down that way is pretty much all vacant on one side of the street sans 1 parking lot that could probably be bought out.. All that said I doubt they move anytime soon, but if they did it'd be a prime spot with the possibility of having the Sears Tower and downtown in the background.
