QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 14, 2014 -> 11:31 AM) I agree. Get the next one. I think it's obvious to everyone on the board that the Axelrod signing was an indication that the Sox weren't getting Tanaka. Move on to the second best pitcher on the market. Wow, you think really, really highly of Axelrod.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 14, 2014 -> 09:49 AM) Cute idea. Bad timing. Why the hell would we have an unrelated throwaway episode so close to the end of the show? Awful. You are right, but I've long ago accepted that this season will be full of time-wasting fluff as they try to stretch 6 episodes worth of plot into a full season. That being said, I laughed several times yesterday, and that hasn't happened very often watching recent episodes.

Yay, it's snowing again!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 14, 2014 -> 08:45 AM) Apparently they are really liking Jim Caldwell. And apparently the Ravens are begging Detroit to take him.

Good for him. If he starts a couple games this year, then the Sox pitching depth is way overexaggerated on this board or everyone got injured.

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Jan 13, 2014 -> 10:59 PM) Now he can bring her on the plane during road games. And ruin the fun of road trips?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2014 -> 01:46 PM) If you guys were in the best 1000 people in the world at something, I am sure you too would be making millions. That's not even true in the sports world, let alone the real world.

Personally, I think this case is more about treating the mentally ill than police brutality, but that's just me.

Huh. A funny episode of HIMYM. How about that! Sweet, BlackList returns tonight.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 13, 2014 -> 03:30 PM) My family is doing another Hawks roadtrip this year, this time in Nashville in April. I think it may even be the last game of the season. Last year our trip was to Detroit. Since the Hawks have become amazing, and the city loves them, I haven't been able to go to a game in over 5 years at the United Center. Yet I have seen them play in Detroit and now will see them in Nashville. I've done that trip, it's a lot of fun. The arena is located right on Broadway, a strip of tons of bars, all with live music. Just bar crawl all day, stumble down to the game, good times.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 13, 2014 -> 02:40 PM) So we all know Wilson is short, besides that, the biggest knock on him that we got is that his team has a good defense? People said the same thing about Rex Grossman!! In Wilson's current role, for the most part he can simply be a game manager. He does an absolutely great job of that and makes very few mistakes. People are just questioning that if the Seahawks were suddenly much more dependent on the passing game, would he perform as well?

Had a Reese's Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treat yesterday. Yup, it's as good as it sounds.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 13, 2014 -> 01:46 PM) Luck has thrown 8 interceptions in his 3 playoff games. He is going to need to cut down on that This is true, although given his supporting cast they are extra dependent on his passing so he is forced to throw a lot, which leads to more agressiveness & interceptions. In all 3 of those playoff games Luck attemped at least 41 passes. Neither Colin Kaepernick nor Russel Wilson has ever had 40+ pass attempts in a NFL game, regular season or playoffs. It's hard to compare Luck with the other two because the situations and teams are so different.

I'm in the wrong business

.240 average, 17 homers, 118 games played

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 13, 2014 -> 12:37 PM) I just got 1 ticket to the game! Went back to ticketmaster and it let me buy one. WOOOT!@!@!!! Sweet, sell it on StubHub!!!!

Quinn Buckner can't be happy

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 13, 2014 -> 12:03 PM) Tried to get 1 ticket to the game within 1 second of them going on sale and they were already out. I found thousands of tickets still on sale, you can afford one, we all know you are a bigshot up there in Seattle.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2014 -> 11:33 AM) The purchase was made before 3 straight 90 loss seasons. Well I wonder if Grand Wizard Theo told him that he planned on tanking several seasons before the team may be good again.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2014 -> 10:47 AM) More than the debt has got be the drop off in revenue. I know they can't have planned for attendance and advertising falling off as much as it had. Given how bad they have been their attendance is still pretty good. I know the fanbase is loyal, but did they really expect to keep selling out with three straight 90 loss seasons?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 13, 2014 -> 10:41 AM) I agree. I don't see the excitement around that guy. He can scramble and makes some plays here and there, but he misses a lot of throws. Seattle is good because that defense is great and they have a great running back. Then again when he isn't playing the Packers, Kaepernick also looks average most of the time. I agree, I don't get the Wilson hype, it's not like he's asked to do that much. Although to give him credit, Seattle may have the worst WR core in all of football.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2014 -> 10:31 AM) This is worth noting. Keep in mind that is before they drop a single penny into Wrigely. That really explains why they are so concerned with "maximizing revenue" in and around the ballpark. That seems to be project #1 instead of the actual team, and all that debt is a big reason why.

NIT? More like the CBI.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jan 12, 2014 -> 10:55 PM) Not sure if this is posted, but pretty weak s*** on Seattle's part. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1920786...amming-national I am disliking this team more and more. Can't wait till see them get smashed by the Broncos or Patriots in SB. Wait a second, I thought Seattle had the best fanbase in all of sports? Suddenly they don't trust their fans to buy enough tickets that they have to limit sales? Either way, there are over 6,000 tickets on StubHub, if 49er fans want to go to the game, they will be there.
