I didn't really think The League was very good tonight, and I thought Sunny sucked. Need to catch up on BMS though, I missed Wednesday's episode.

Hawks win 6-3! And what do ya know, a power play goal! I saw an article saying that Montador was ready to step up on the power play, and hey look, a Montador power play goal! I realize Columbus is terrible, but a win is a win, let's hope they got some confidence back.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 10, 2011 -> 08:45 PM) In minors for six years = can declare free agency. I thought that was it, but didn't know if DSL counted. Oh ok, I thought he was trying to say if he can't make the majors in 6 years in the minors, then he is obviously no good.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 10, 2011 -> 07:38 PM) He is a six year free agent I don't know what that means.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 10, 2011 -> 05:32 PM) I'm really perplexed by Quintana. I'm just confused by why the Yankees would just let him go. He will be 23 when the season starts, and probably be assigned to Birmingham. That's an appropriate age, and his numbers have been good. I wonder if he is just a terrible teammate or something? Off the field issues?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 10, 2011 -> 05:27 PM) I ignore the mouth-breathers with uneducated opinions who don't stfu as their opinion means nothing to me. While this has been an endless argument at Soxtalk, it's also been an enjoyable and interesting debate involving posters who can pull together coherent thoughts and, mostly, look at the situation in an analytic nature. They aren't people posting stupidity and hoping for "likes". Maybe I just refuse to call people who I obviously are friends with or associate with "a bunch or morons". I've had very intelligent, well thought-out conversations on Facebook before. Yes, a lot of people do say dumb s*** for "likes" or for a shock factor, but people are very passionate about this topic and truly believe that Paterno is just as much as fault for this as Sandusky is, and I bet you can find examples of people saying that on many different outlets, even apparently higher regarded sports forums. Anyway, this thread is massive and too hard to keep track of, so I've said my peace and will await more news and information about this topic. As we can see by the page number, it's a huge hot button topic right now, I'm interested to find out more details.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 10, 2011 -> 03:33 PM) Why on Earth are you bringing morons on Facebook into this. Next time are you going to post comments posted on the ESPN website? So just because people use Facebook to talk about sports instead of using a sports forum, they are morons? Do you not have a Facebook, or do you only thing others are morons for using it, but no, not you?

Veal seems meh, but this Quintana guy seems.......somewhat legit.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 10, 2011 -> 02:50 PM) You're now bringing in the dregs of society, the unwashed, uneducated majority of Facebook users. That doesn't need to be dragged into this thread. uummm......?? So I can't say I think it's wrong for people on Facebook to be making these kinds of statements? Ok, I guess I just won't have opinions anymore while you're around? ?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 10, 2011 -> 08:37 AM) The fact that people keep pretending that anyone has actually said this or that somehow people are making this out to be the case is all you need to know about how week the "Pro-Joe" position is. Umm.....yeah, people on Facebook are saying this. I just had a big argument last night w/ some people on Facebook because they said that the PSU students were having a "pro pediphilia rally" and if you think Paterno should not have been fired then you are a child molester just like he is. Trust me, people, at least on Facebook, are ACTUALLY likening what Paterno DIDN'T do to being just as bad as what Sandusky DID do.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 10, 2011 -> 12:26 PM) Saw a behind the scenes promo of the upcoming season of Shameless. Cannot wait Yeah, I love that it's set in the summer this time. White Sox baseball talk? I can only dream. And the little girl who plays Deb was on the latest episode of Boardwalk Empire.

Am I the only one who thinks making Joe Paterno out to be a child molester is QUITE a reach? Also, am I the only non-PSU student that believes they should have just let Paterno finish out the season?

Or was that with the two animal dudes who had big guns?

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Nov 9, 2011 -> 02:45 PM) It has reached ridiculous levels over at ESPN. Yeah, on ESPN's First Take today, I think they spent at least 15-20 minutes of their show on various Tebow topics. I admit I love to watch him play (because I want to see him fail), but I am SO SICK of hearing people talk about him. Yeah, he gets ratings WHEN HE IS PLAYING because people either love him or hate him, but I doubt ANYONE wants to hear him talked about constantly, not the lovers nor the haters.

Well, the new Drake CD pretty much sucks. Wayy too much singing and slow songs, just like his last CD. 3/10 for me. Mac Miller's Blue Slide Park is pretty good. Lot of upbeat songs. Only listened to it once, but I give it a 7/10. Childish Gambino's (Donald Glover) debut CD, Camp, is pretty legit. It is streaming on NPR's website for some reason if you guys want to hear it. I'm a big fan of his, and he has tons of clever and funny lines. 8.5/10.

It depends on my contract really. If I am being offered $1.5M, I wouldn't take $500K to go to a better team. However, If I was making $15M a year, I would give up $2-3M to go to a better team. For purposes of the poll, I put $1M. I can't ever see giving up $10M a year to win, and I imagine all those figures are based on a yearly salary.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Nov 9, 2011 -> 12:32 AM) They resigned Bruney? Not yet I don't think, but it's rumored he will sign a minor league deal w/ us.

Awful, awful, awful, awful game. Wow. Embarrassing.

Well that was a great penalty by Carcillo.....sticking his leg out and gets called from tripping, and Blues answer with a PP goal. Greeeeeeeeaaat. 2-0 Blues.

Ha, good job Reeves! Carcillo looked like a real b****.

Signing Brian Bruney to a minor league contract? I'm ok with that. Signing Jason Frasor to a $4M major league contract? Not cool.

So far we have re-signed Frasor and McPherson. Woo! Exciting offseason so far! I don't how we would replace that 0.1 combined WAR.....

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 06:06 PM) I hate the f***ing St. Louis Blues. LET'S GO HAWKS! First game I will get on TV here at school in like 2 or 3 weeks! Woo!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 7, 2011 -> 11:38 AM) He apparently plays a pretty mean CF. Looks like the Nationals have been probing him for a couple years now. I giggled.

Talk about selling low, sheesh.
