QUOTE(rcpweiner @ Dec 2, 2006 -> 01:30 PM) I'm still trying to figure out exactly what McCarthy has done in his career for people to think he's untouchable ... Good, young starting pitching is hard to find.

Casey Dick is awful. I don't know how you can go with him in the bowl game.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Dec 2, 2006 -> 06:53 PM) Are they seriously interviewing Carroll after a loss like this? Not to mention they interviewed him before Dorrell.

I have to agree with you.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Dec 1, 2006 -> 03:45 PM) Why not keep all five and put McCarthy into AAA for some seasoning then trade someone at the deadline or, if not, leave them intact if need be? I'm all for dealing a starter for some stud pitchers but if not, I wouldn't be upset if Cy Young spent half a season or another season back in Charlotte. Because he deserves to be in the rotation, even if we don't trade anyone.

If McCarthy is in AAA next year I will be in a very, very bad mood.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 1, 2006 -> 12:52 PM) Does anyone else really, really, really want the Cowboys to lose this week, and badly, just so the "Romo=God" crap stops? Yes

Former Walther Lutheran QB Bo Flowers is gonna play safety at Illinois. He was drafted by Detroit, and traded to the Cubs in the Farnsworth deal. I saw him play in the frontier league this year.

How about we trade freddy to the M's for Reed, Morse, and a prospect. We then ship that prospect to Florida for Olivo.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(YASNY @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 12:16 PM) Exactly. Fields at this point in time is a shadow of Crede. Defensively, it's no contest. Offensively, Fields is totally unknown and Crede has proven he can be a productive ML hitter. Anderson couldn't replicate Rowand's production, I damn ain't betting that Feilds can replace Crede. Not yet, anyway. Fields isn't replace Crede's production. But that being said third is one of our strengths. We can afford to deal Crede more than say AJ, in that we have no capable starting catcher. Crede's value might be higher than it will ever be right now.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 02:53 AM) Sentiments aside. I don't want to trade Crede because it would so damn difficult to find a quality replacement. Besides the fact that one of our top 2 prospects plays third.

Some people need to realize that Crede had a career year last year, he could easily go back to hitting .250 next year. I don't think that will happend, but he's not a lock to have a year like 2006 the next couple of years.

John Shoop is taking over as Raiders offensive coordinator

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Nov 27, 2006 -> 09:06 PM) http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/spor...30_felix26.html I wish that kid would get more attention. He's amazing. Huh? Everybody expected him to compete for the Cy young this year.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 27, 2006 -> 11:24 PM) He'd be better than Pods out there, no doubt in my mind. Ross Eithe him or Mack should have been leading off or playing left at the end of last year when Pods was killing us.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 27, 2006 -> 03:41 PM) How so? Joe Crede is one of the best 3B in the game right now, Figgins is barely a starter and is a slight upgrade over PODS. Santana and Garcia could be deemed a wash. If you can turn Santana into Crawford however, then we are winners. We would have to get a couple more prospects/young players. Not on the Brandon Wood level, but the guy I want is Erick Aybar. Plus maybe you could get a guy like Jeff Mathis, who they are down on.

Please please please tell me we are getting more in return. We can do much better for Joe and Freddy.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Nov 27, 2006 -> 12:18 AM) I'm pretty sure it'll be the Arkansas/Florida winner in the Sugar Bowl. ND has a ways to go. There's some nice skill position players, but Willingham has left us woefully thin on both sides of the line. I think it will be the Rose, because they will most likely be losing both USC and OSU to the Nat. title game, so they will get the first 2 at-large choices. Not exactly sure how it works when the Rose loses both teams. Maybe they will have to choose Michigan or ND, but I think they can take both.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Nov 26, 2006 -> 11:27 AM) Well here are the matchups for this week's ACC/Big Ten Challenge. If someone knows how to do one big poll in a separate thread that would be cool. Monday Michigan @ NC State - 6:00 ESPN2 Tuesday Maryland @ Illinois - 6:00 ESPN Florida ST @ Wisconsin - 6:30 ESPN2 Penn St. @ GA Tech - 7:00 ESPNU Indiana @ Duke - 8:00 ESPN Miami @ Northwestern - 8:30 ESPN2 Wednesday Michigan St @ Boston College - 6:00 ESPN Virginia @ Purdue - 6:30 ESPN2 Iowa @ Va Tech - 7:00 ESPNU Ohio State @ North Carolina - 8:00 ESPN Clemson @ Minnesota - 8:30 ESPN2 I don't see too many sure Big Ten wins in there. Thoughts?? I see three wins for the Big Ten (Michigan, Wisky, Purdue)

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Nov 26, 2006 -> 08:17 PM) No, ND is a 100 percent lock for a BCS bowl any year that they go 9-2 or 10-2 since they are ND. It's not fair, but it's the facts. Yup, it will always be like that. They are probably going to play Michigan in the Rose bowl, which sucks because I don't want to see that matchup again.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Nov 26, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) The play calling was yet again awful. I hate how Rex gets the blame when we drop back consistently against a defense that rocks. Real f***ing smart. Rex made some mistakes but at the same time he was rocking early in this game and we would than s*** all over it with terrible plays. This falls straight on Rex's shoulders and Turners play calling. Oh and Lovie for being a dumbass and not going for it on that 4th down (even though we did end up getting the ball back and would have had a shot to win the game). Let's not forget Lovie's decision to "ice" the kicker, which gave them three points. Not that any other coach wouldn't have done it, I just hate that move period.

I doubt we pick anyone up, it's hard to have a rule V guy on a contending team anyways.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Nov 25, 2006 -> 11:49 PM) I heard Houston Nutt on ESPN Radio this morning, he said it was 50/50 on him starting Mustain next Saturday. If he does, they have a shot. Otherwise, McFadden better rush for 250. Don't know why Mustain didn't come in yesterday, Dick was awful.

QUOTE(soxsr08 @ Nov 24, 2006 -> 11:13 PM) If it's the recruiting factor that bothers you, well then you'll just have to deal with that. It's been that way for a long time, and there's no end in sight. Yep, that's it. I will always go on, but that doesn't make it right.
