QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 27, 2013 -> 04:28 PM) I'm the guy playing against the team with Calvin Johnson. Yuck Same here. He has 83 pts from Cam Newton, Calvin Johnson, and Pats D. That may be enough to win for him.

I hate Dez Bryant so, so much.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 26, 2013 -> 06:06 PM) When did Bryant sign? IIRC, it's irrelevant because it's 12 months after the draft date, not the sign date. I just tried googling this, but I didn't have any success.

Well, Tommy Rees looks healthy. 11 of 13, 166 yards, 2 TD. Not bad.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 26, 2013 -> 05:44 PM) Just face it...absolutely no team is going to trade for another team's top prospect and then leave him in that team's system for the first 4 months of the season. Zero chance. You've got the risk of injury, you've got the fact that the guy will be being coached by the other team for that time, you've got the fact that he might well learn that he's a PTBNL and it could impact his performance. There's a reason it never happens that big name prospects become PTBNL's, you're not going to shut them down until June but you're never going to let another team's doctors and coaches deal with a guy you're counting on. Give a specific example...imagine we'd done something like that with a Courtney Hawkins type player and then he came out and had huge strikout totals like we saw from him this season. Do we still want the same player if his value is down? Who is coaching the guy and what adjustments are they having him make? Still doesn't mean it can't happen, I mean, none of the s*** we discuss here will ever happen anyway. It's just things to day dream about.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 26, 2013 -> 05:44 PM) He's very sensitive. Decided to DM me calling me names. Should I forward it to someone? Nah, don't be an iamshack.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 26, 2013 -> 05:05 PM) Still wouldn't be long enough. How would a trade any time after the first week of December (GM Meeting time, no less), not be long enough?

QUOTE (SpainSOXfan09 @ Oct 26, 2013 -> 04:39 PM) I didn't. Clearly. EDIT: Oh, I see you started this thread, that's why you are defensive about it. I get it now.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 26, 2013 -> 09:39 AM) Don't those have to be named within 90 days? 6 months.

QUOTE (SpainSOXfan09 @ Oct 26, 2013 -> 04:27 PM) I sincerely hope you're kidding with this lame remark. Don't think you have the authority to criticize anybody's thread. Don't like, just ignore it. I thought it was funny.

I suppose I'll just copy and paste what I've already put on Facebook..... Happy 8 year anniversary to the greatest baseball team the city has Chicago has seen in very long time, certainly in my lifetime. I can vividly remember being at BW3s with my family watching the WS clincher as the ball bounced over the head of Jenks, and Uribe corralled it and fired across his body to record the final out and return glory to the city. Possibly the greatest playoff team in postseason history, anchored by one of the greatest playoff rotations. Here's to the legends of yesteryear and the future heroes of today. Happy 8 years, '05 Chicago White Sox. Don't stop believin'.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Oct 26, 2013 -> 10:21 AM) Rodon. Sorry. Pet Peeve. f***, I always do that, even though I usually correct it before posting.

Looks like Keith Wenning isn't going to keep up his 300+ yards streak. A few minutes left in the game and he is only at 240 yards. He is 25 for 35 with 5 TD though, so that's cool.

QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Oct 26, 2013 -> 02:15 AM) Where has the time gone? I remember going to high school the next day being the smuggest motherf***er in the world. Yep, same. I still have my shirt that I made after Pod's walk-off HR. And after they won it all, I printed and cut out a bunch of Astros logos and dropped them in front of my friend's locker who was a Houston fan, and then I pulled out a broom I brought to school and said "Oh sorry, let me sweep this up for you." We aren't friends anymore.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Oct 26, 2013 -> 12:15 AM) Any insiders care to share THIS with the rest of us in a nice long post. Top 5 picks listed are.... Rondon, Hoffman, Jackson, Gatewood, OF Braxston Davidson. Jackson is the one I want, but the blurp says he is likely to end up in RF like Harper. Has elite bat speed and above-average power to all fields. Trea Turner is #15, Beede is #18,

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 25, 2013 -> 11:57 PM) Boardwalk Empire is killing it so far in this season, such a great show. Narcisse is such a solid villain. I've actually really disliked and been bored with this season. I don't like Narcisse at all, I fight falling asleep every time him and Chalky babble on.

I am starting to catch up on S2 of Revolution. One thing I have noticed about this season is it seems to be a lot funnier, which helps lighten the entirely too serious mood of the 1st season. The scene where the guy tells Myles about how his dad spoke of this legendary ranger in Texas named Walker was hilarious. And then Aaron had some funny liners as well. I'll keep watching.

QUOTE (juddling @ Oct 25, 2013 -> 11:37 PM) I never watched Modern Family during it's initial run on ABC (other than a time or two) but now that it's on USA I've managed to watch it for a week or two (roughly 12 episodes or so) and I got to ask......does this show EVER get funny???? Oh my Lord.....I have never seen a show so over-rated like this one. I find the show relatively funny, but I find it extremely overrated. It's just so damn predictable I think. I prefer Parks N Rec by a wide margin, hell, I prefer the other 6 or 7 comedies I like more.

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Oct 25, 2013 -> 08:22 PM) True, although Bryant hasn't been a Cub for a year and thus, can't be traded. PTBNL

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 25, 2013 -> 05:43 PM) Until they bust and Sale goes on to win 14 Cy Youngs on the other side of town Or until Sale blows out his elbow and becomes the next Mark Prior.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Oct 25, 2013 -> 07:37 PM) Jagielo can't be traded until July. PTBNL

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 25, 2013 -> 05:51 PM) http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/new-wh...n-creative-type I love that. It's the best and only thing I've read about this guy so far that has interested me. Of course this doesn't matter though if he's with the major league club, but that's the right attitude to have as a minor league coach, IMO. Winning is 2nd to development of the prospects. Ask any prospect if they would rather improve themselves and increase their chances of making the big leagues, or winning their minor league division, and I think you'll see the same answers.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 25, 2013 -> 04:49 PM) I think Bryant will soon be a young major league star. Not that I'd make the deal but he's going to be a stud. Bryant and Baez would fit perfectly in to our system, really.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 25, 2013 -> 03:49 PM) To trade Sale the Sox would need a young major league star. NO combo of prospects is going to even come close. Cubs don't have any major league "stars" I am interested in besides Samardzija. Now if they wanted to do Samardzija + Baez + Bryant that would work too, but I don't think they would even want to do that either.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 25, 2013 -> 09:41 AM) So Edgar does still have it Yeah, but we haven't even looked at the defensive part of their games yet.....
