QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Dec 12, 2009 -> 09:53 PM) Cocky my friend, remember you are the laughing stock of the big 12. KU could be reaaaaaaallllll bad next year after losing the only three guys worth a s*** in Reesing, Meier and Briscoe. And like wite said, I'm not a Baylor fan.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Dec 12, 2009 -> 08:04 PM) Kansas hired Turner Gil and will hire Chuck Long as offensive coordinator. Two guys that I'll be thrilled to beat the s*** out of in Ames next year.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 12, 2009 -> 03:18 AM) Everything I see from reports suggests Carrasco being gone, but it still doesn't make sense to me. Sure Hudson could do the job, but then you are eating up an entire arbitration year of a guy who could easily be the 5th starter of a still stellar rotation in 2011, and losing a rather vital cog of a bullpen because of $2 mill. I actually think a lot of this is due to Matsui, personally. And we won't know his whereabouts until January. My final guess is that Carlos Torres plays the role of Carrasco next year with actual potential to move to middle relief and set up (which Carrasco does not have), Williams is trying to trade him right now for really anything he can get, and that Hudson remains in the minors. This.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 11, 2009 -> 08:13 PM) Iowa currently leads Craig Brackins 30-24. Unfortunately for Iowa, Iowa St. also has other players. News to me. 81-71 home win for second place in the state. Bring on Bradley!!!! We'll beat a middle of the road Valley team yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hudson is starting in AAA.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Dec 11, 2009 -> 09:16 PM) Not really that interesting unless you think the White Sox are eager to pay incentive money. The incentive makes me think it's less likely we move Jenks, actually.

Our total offense couldn't be any higher than 80th.

I absolutely do not want DJ in any role but the one's he's been in. He's done very well at it, but I do not trust him as anything more than what he is - backend of the bullpen innings eater and occasional middle reliever. A lot of teams don't even have a viable option for that. Let's not mess with him.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 06:06 PM) I would imagine Pena would start off in setup until he either lost the job or Putz earned it. I also don't see Carrasco being used as much more than a rubber arm, similar to what he's done the past two seasons. I also think Ozzie is going to want two lefties, because he always does. This makes sense, though he might lean towards Putz based on track record and a solid spring. I'm liking where our pen is headed.

Wow, Flaxx, your parents have to be at least 100.

Though I guess legal blindness would have to be 20/200 with corrective lenses. But still.

http://legacy.signonsandiego.com/sports/pa...17padnotes.html Wow, didn't know this.

We tend to leave it that way as it is pretty popular. That being said, we don't actively try and compress and merge single subject threads like that unless it really makes sense. If you have a question or anything like that, start a new thread.

The snow has literally drifted over my car hood. Of course, we have idiots double parked in our apartment parking lot, preventing them from clearing it out. I'm snowbound.

I HATE when people confuse dominant and dominate.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 9, 2009 -> 08:11 AM) Did ISU cancel classes? In my years there, they only cancelled classes once - and it was for an ice storm that coated everything in sight. Never closed for snow or cold, and I'll tell ya, it got really frickin' cold a few times. Yup, closed for today. There's 3 foot drifts in my parking lot.

It looks like a damn Arctic Sahara out there.

Matt Thornton has always been a bromantic. That being said, as long as this doesn't result in moving Jenks, this is a decent way to replace Octavio.

bump Blizzard forecasted for Tuesday and Wednesday. This is the first time I've seen a forecast call for 3-6 foot snow drifts. Flash will be happy to see that God is still trying to wipe us off the map.

QUOTE (Felix @ Dec 6, 2009 -> 10:09 PM) I don't care at all about college football, but Minnesota/Iowa State is going to be a terrible, terrible game. Yeah, but I get to go. I'm just happy we got one of like 5 bowl eligible teams we can beat.

Ndamukong Suh deserves the Heisman. And it's confirmed. Iowa State to the Insight Bowl. So awesome.

LOL...Iowa flow chart:

The Valley favorite beat an ISU team that was picked for 8th in the league by 3.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Dec 3, 2009 -> 04:24 PM) It's not a bad loss. You guys and the selection committee painting it as bad loses make it impossible for the MVC or any other non power conferance to get more then one team to the tourney. It's an indictment of our staff.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Dec 3, 2009 -> 01:39 PM) Northern Iowa is not a bad team. I just love seeing the MVC winning these non-conference games, but they'll still only get 1 bid for the tournament. We should never be worse than UNI and should never lose to them at home.
